Podcast: The Epstein Chronicles
Host: Bobby Capucci
Episode: From Association to Participation: The New Allegations Made Against Disgraced Andrew
Date: April 12, 2026

Episode Overview

In this episode, Bobby Capucci explores the latest allegations implicating Prince Andrew (the "scumbag formerly known as Prince Andrew") in deeper involvement with Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal enterprise. New revelations suggest Andrew not only had knowledge of Epstein's abusive behavior but also actively steered women towards him, raising questions of possible complicity in trafficking. The discussion draws on reporting from the Daily Mail and commentary from high-profile lawyer Perry Wander, underlining the systemic failure to hold powerful individuals accountable in the Epstein saga.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Prince Andrew’s Alleged Complicity and New Allegations

The episode opens with Capucci’s blunt claim:
“Prince Andrew...has been lying to everybody about Jeffrey Epstein and his relationship with him since the very beginning.” [01:07]
Discussion centers on a Daily Mail article reporting that a woman confided to Prince Andrew about Epstein’s inappropriate behavior after he had personally vouched for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, encouraging her to trust them.
Capucci criticizes previous narratives that Andrew was unaware, calling them a "straight up lie," and challenges the idea that Andrew’s actions were innocent:
“He sent her right into the jaws of the beast.” [02:04]
Raises the crucial question:
“Was Prince Andrew part of the pipeline? How many other women were steered towards Epstein at the behest of Prince Andrew?” [04:11]

2. Details of the Victim’s Encounter

The unnamed woman, an aspiring actress, was introduced to Epstein by Prince Andrew during the late 1990s at Windsor Castle. The host describes this as a flip on the usual narrative: Andrew, not Epstein, acted as the connector.
She eventually received a financial payout as one of Epstein’s victims (June of the previous year).
Perry Wander, her lawyer, says the woman confided in Andrew about Epstein’s inappropriate behavior 25 years ago. Andrew allegedly responded that someone else had made similar allegations—a detail suggesting Prince Andrew knew the risks other women faced.
Capucci’s take:
“He can’t say he didn’t know. Throw that excuse right out the window.” [10:15]

3. Victim Advocacy and Legacy

The survivor was inspired to come forward in part due to Virginia Roberts’ courage and ultimate death by suicide.
Capucci underscores the importance of survivors supporting each other:
“I can’t tell you how many people have come forward after that and said it was the courage shown by the people that came before them that inspired them to step up and talk about their stories as well.” [05:47]
The episode highlights the growing momentum for other victims to speak out.

4. Systemic Accountability and RICO Arguments

Capucci argues these allegations strengthen the case for prosecuting Epstein’s network under RICO statutes.
Notable quote:
“If you want another example of why this is a RICO case, here it is. Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, Glenn Maxwell, Les Wexner, Leon Black, all of them should have been caught up in that RICO net, but they weren’t. They were protected.” [08:39]
He alleges official protection due to Epstein’s possible intelligence ties, expressing skepticism any justice will be done under current systems.

5. Trauma, Gaslighting, and Aftermath

After Epstein’s 2019 arrest, the unnamed woman emailed him a supportive message, which she later said did not reflect her true feelings. Her lawyer explains this as a marker of trauma bonding and emotional manipulation—typical in predatory situations.
Capucci elaborates:
“It was all normalized…that was what Jeffrey Epstein was very, very good at. Making people think that they were doing something that was completely okay, when in reality we all know that that is not true.” [13:12]

6. Prince Andrew’s Eroding Credibility

Capucci reviews Andrew’s public denials, including the infamous BBC Newsnight interview and Andrew’s claims that certain photographs (notably with Virginia Roberts) were doctored.
The release of email evidence proves Andrew lied about post-2010 contact with Epstein, leading to him being stripped of remaining royal titles.
Capucci, in characteristic acerbic style, concludes:
“With this new information coming out, his problems are only growing. And that mushroom cloud that's been hanging over his head, well, it's now leaking radioactive rain. And the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family's bitch ass is glowing.” [15:37]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On Andrew’s awareness:
“He can’t say he didn’t know. Throw that excuse right out the window. So what’s the next excuse? There isn’t one—you’re a piece of shit and a fellow traveler and maybe a human trafficker.” [10:15]
On survivor bravery:
“It was the courage shown by the people that came before them that inspired them to step up and talk about their stories as well.” [05:47]
On normalization of abuse:
“So as somebody coming in, you know, a vulnerable girl, whatever it might be, you see all these posh ass people doing this and you say to yourself, well, I guess this is what you have to do to get ahead in this world. So it was all normalized. The whole entire process was part of the plan.” [13:26]
On legal action and consequences:
“I have a very hard time believing that nothing else comes of this. And if you want another example of why this is a RICO case, here it is…” [08:39]

welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Now I know this is going to come as a shock to a lot of you, but Prince Andrew, or the scumbag formerly known as Prince Andrew, has been lying to everybody about Jeffrey Epstein and his relationship with him since the very beginning. And the whole entire nonsensical BS that Prince Andrew had no idea what Epstein was up to is a straight up lie. And according to somebody that was allegedly abused by Jeffrey Epstein, this person confided in Prince Andrew that Jeffrey Epstein was inappropriate with her. And this is after telling her that she should trust Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell only to find out that somebody else had told Prince Andrew the same thing previously. So basically, according to this woman, he sent her right into the jaws of the beast. And considering everything we know about Andrew at this point and all of the fire that he's under, this is only going to deepen that hole that he finds himself standing in. Because if he thinks that this is going to go away, he's crazy. This isn't going anywhere. And I think there is already, you know, blood in the water, if you will, when it comes to Prince Andrew. And there's going to be a lot of people out there that are going to look to pile on. And I say good. If anyone deserves it, it's the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family. Today's article is from the Daily Mail and the headline Andrew told Epstein Victim I know he's been Inappropriate with another woman A year before ex Prince met his accuser Virginia Roberts. Lawyers for abused actress claim this article was authored by Mark Hookham and Dan Bates. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor reportedly told a young actress who was abused by Jeffrey Epstein that another woman had complained of the financier's inappropriate behavior a year before. The former Prince is alleged to have had sex with Virginia Roberts. Had sex? You mean abused her. Right. Having sex is consensual. Abusing people is something completely different. And I think it's important to differentiate that. Right. It wasn't like Virginia showed up there after they hooked up on Tinder or something. No. In fact, according to reports, Andrew was shown a bunch of pictures and he picked Virginia. Now that's what the reports say. So it's not like they, you know, met in some organic fashion and they decided that they were into each other. That's certainly not the case. In a bombshell statement to the Mail on Sunday, it was claimed that Andrew introduced a glamorous actress he was dating in the late 90s to Epstein during a visit to Windsor Castle and that the vile US billionaire went on to sexually assault her. Imagine being introduced to this dude at Windsor Castle. And basically we have the flip here of what we usually talk about. Usually we have Jeffrey Epstein hooking people up with women. Well, this time it was Prince Andrew steering this woman to Jeffrey Epstein. So was Prince Andrew part of the pipeline? How many other women were steered towards Epstein at the behest of Prince Andrew? That's certainly a question that has to be asked. The MoS understands that the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, received a financial payout in June as one of Epstein's victims. Perry Wander, A high profile US lawyer claims that the woman confided in Andrew 25 years ago that Epstein had behaved inappropriately towards her. It's alleged that Andrew replied that he wasn't surprised because someone else had made a similar allegation, although the identity of that person is unknown. The woman's alleged warning to Andrew about Epstein came more than a year before the billionaire financier trafficked 17 year old Virginia Roberts to London to meet the then duke of York. Ms. Roberts, who took her own life earlier this year, claimed that she was forced to have sex with Andrew on three separate occasions. Allegations. The former Prince has strenuously denied the latest allegation. The first time Andrew has been accused of introducing a woman to Epstein will send shock waves through the Royal family. Well, yeah. Is Andrew a trafficker? Is that what he was doing in his spare time? Was he making some money as a trafficker of some sort? I don't know. I guess we're gonna have to find out. But you know what they say about fellow travelers and all. And it will fuel calls for Andrew, who has already been stripped of all of his royal titles, to give evidence to the u. S. Congress about his friendship with the sex offender Epstein. Andrew last night did not respond to a request for comment. Yeah, no shit. I think that Andrew at this point has learned probably a good idea to keep his stupid ass yap shut. Mr. Wander, an entertainment lawyer based in Beverly hills whose clients have included Lindsay lohan and Warren Beatty, told the mos that the woman had agreed to come forward after being inspired by Ms. Roberts courage. She was inspired by her desire to stand with other survivors and by the profound impact of Virginia's passing, which served as a catalyst for her to speak publicly. And I can't tell you how many times I've heard that from people that have come forward talking about how they were inspired by either Virginia or one of the other survivors that stood up and said no more. I can't tell you how many people have come forward after that and said it was the courage shown by the people that came before them that inspired them to step up and talk about their stories as well. And I think we're going to continue to see that. Right. As more of this story breaks and more people come forward, there's going to be more people who have things to say. Andrew is said to have grown close to the woman after a meeting in 1999. The couple enjoyed several dates, including lunch at Buckingham palace. Attractive and described by friends as fun loving, the woman was attempting to forge a career in film and TV. In contrast, Andrew, then 39, a commander in the royal navy, was coming to the end of his military career. Mr. Wander alleged that Andrew introduced her to Epstein and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who was jailed in 2022 for helping Epstein traffic underage girls during a visit to Windsor castle in October of 99. Of all the things you can call Ghislaine Maxwell, you call her a socialite. Not a child abuser, not a bipedal serpent, not a fellow scumbag, but a socialite. Andrew, it is claimed, encouraged the woman to spend time with Epstein, including by flying on the financier's private jet, later dubbed the lolita express. Yo, this dude basically just delivered her to the jaws of the beast. And you got this woman who met prince Andrew at Buckingham palace thinking that everything's on the up and up. Oh, yeah, you know, this is the prince of England. I'm good. Nothing bad's gonna happen to me. He's sending me to somebody and vouching for them. The MoS has learned that the woman flew several times on the jet and visited Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, and his private Caribbean island, dubbed Pedophile Island. The woman claimed she was repeatedly sexually abused by Epstein, who took his own life in 2019, allegedly because I have my doubts about if Jeffrey Epstein killed himself or not. She is understood to have been one of the last Epstein victims to receive a payout from the pedophile's estate, which was valued at around £500 million when he died. Mr. Wander said, My client has disclosed that Prince Andrew encouraged her to seek out and follow Jeffrey Epstein's guidance and spend time with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Can you imagine telling somebody, yeah, you know what? I vouch for these two. Go ahead and go hang out with them. You know what would happen to you if you were in the Mafia and you vouch for somebody like this? Yeah, that's right. You're going to end up in the hole right next to them. You can't be vouching for people and then the people be monsters and think you're not going to, you know, catch any flack or hold any responsibility. So this is a big deal. And I think that this is going to spiral into something much bigger for Prince Andrew. Whether that's a civil lawsuit of some sort or if that is, you know, a criminal investigation, I don't know. But I have a very hard time believing that nothing else comes of this. And if you want another example of why this is a RICO case, here it is. Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, Glenn Maxwell, Les Wexner, Leon Black, all of them should have been caught up in that RICO net, but they weren't. They were protected. And I've said from the very beginning that it's my opinion that they were protected because Jeffrey Epstein was being protected overall by intelligence. So what, they're going to out their asset and have everything lead back to them? Zero chance that was ever going to happen. But in the real world, for the rest of us, this is a RICO case and it's not even a debate. And not only a RICO case, but open and shut. They would have sent these people to prison forever if they wanted to. Just ask any Mafia member that's rotting away in prison right now on the same charges. When she questioned Prince Andrew about whether doing so was safe, he reassured her that he trusted Jeffrey and Ghislaine and that she should listen to Jeffrey's counsel and spend time with him and Ghislaine in an extraordinary twist. Mr. Wander claimed that she later confided in Andrew who that she was unhappy with the way Epstein had treated her. And the former prince allegedly admitted he knew that someone else also complained. So he can't say he didn't know. Throw that excuse right out the window. So what's the next excuse? There isn't one you're a piece of and a fellow traveler and maybe a human trafficker.
