Friends of Prince Andrew and King Charles said Thursday that Andrew would continue to enjoy the “full support” of his brother after astonishing allegations surfaced that he participated in an “underaged orgy” at the island home of his friend, Jeffrey Epstein, the financier and pedophile who committed suicide in 2019 while facing child sex charges.
However, critics of Andrew said the new allegations had delivered an unambiguous hammer blow to his efforts to restore his reputation, and had opened the door to the prospect of a drip-feed of sordid allegations being made against the king’s brother for years to come.
