James O'Keefe's Undercover Scoop is More Bad News for Prince Andrew

Back in 2022, Prince Andrew was stripped of his military affiliations by Queen Elizabeth II, less than a year before her death.

One day after a judge rejected Prince Andrew's attempt to have a sexual assault lawsuit against him thrown out, Buckingham Palace released a statement regarding Andrew's royal status.

"With The Queen's approval and agreement, The Duke of York's military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen," the palace announced on Thursday.

"The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen," the statement continued.

Prince Andrew later reached a multi-million dollar settlement with accuser Virginia Giuffre but the settlement did not require him to admit fault. He has always denied the allegations against him. 

He has remained on the outside of the royal family looking in ever since. If anything, Giuffre's recent death, apparently by suicide, may have renewed public disgust and a desire by the rest of the royals to keep him at a distance.

Outcast Prince Andrew took a solemn horse ride around Windsor Castle today while the rest of his family led VE Day celebrations in London...

It comes as the Royal Family otherwise turned out in force for the London occasion, to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day this afternoon.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were joined by Prince William, Kate and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to watch the procession of 1,300 members of the armed forces and Nato allies.

But if Andrew was already having a tough time, things got a lot worse for him yesterday when Jame's O'Keefe dropped another undercover sting video. This one features John Bryan, an American who was closely connected to the royal family because he had a long relationship with Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. Ferguson was Prince Andrew's wife until they divorced in 1996, which meant John Bryan had a direct relationship with Andrew and his two children. He was also friends with Princess Diana and the other royals at the time. Bryan was definitely on the inside.

Back when the allegations against Prince Andrew were made, Bryan defended him in the Daily Mail. But in the the video released yesterday, he reveals that he later learned Andrew had lied to him.

According to previous reporting by The Daily Mail, Bryan also admitted to crafting a five-page PR strategy titled the “House of Kroy,” advising Andrew to publicly express sympathy for victims of Jeffrey Epstein while maintaining his own innocence. At the time, Bryan publicly supported the Prince, stating, “I believe Prince Andrew is innocent.” 

“I did a big thing in The Daily Mail saying that I believed Andrew,” Bryan recounted to our undercover OMG journalist, adding, “And then I found out he was lying. I was so pissed.” When asked what Andrew had lied about, Bryan didn’t mince words: “That he was f***ing underage girls. That’s not cool.”

In the clip released yesterday, Bryan never explains exactly how or when he found out Prince Andrew was lying. Did he get an admission from the prince or did he just put two and two together on his own. In any case, this is an admission from someone very close to the family that they knew he was lying. You could probably have assumed that was the case given how Andrew was treated, but no one has ever admitted it this directly. Now that someone has, I wonder what happens next to Andrew. Will the rest of the royals stop pretending? Will he disappear into obscurity for a few years? So far this is barely being reported anywhere and there is no response, official or otherwise.

Here's the report.

Finally, O'Keefe says he has a couple more big stories, including another once involving Jeffrey Epstein coming up. He released this dramatic video asking people to pray for him last week.

He also released this teaser trailer on Wednesday, which many have noted appears to contain a still image of AG Pam Bondi.

So there's more to come from James soon.
