Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by former Scotland Yard detective Peter Bleksley as the Metropolitan Police begin examining explosive allegations linked to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein’s island. The probe centres on claims that royal protection officers may have “turned a blind eye” during trips to Epstein’s private Caribbean compound, with Scotland Yard confirming that “initial enquiries… have begun”. The investigation follows allegations that members of the Royalty and Specialist Protection Command travelled with the former Duke of York to the island — including on Epstein’s private jet — where numerous women have alleged they were trafficked and abused.
Bleksley tells Kevin O’Sullivan there “should not be this kind of delay” in launching a full criminal investigation, urging police to “get a grip” as pressure mounts over alleged failures of oversight and accountability. He questions whether deference toward royalty slowed action and suggests the Met must urgently establish what protection officers knew, what they reported, and whether any evidence was overlooked in relation to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
In a blistering exchange, Bleksley adds: “If you listen carefully, you can hear Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor bent over the shredder as we speak — possibly,” as the pair discuss fears that key documents, travel logs and communications linked to Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Little St James could disappear. With the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor investigation widening, Talk examines whether Scotland Yard will now escalate the probe into alleged trafficking, misconduct in public office and potential obstruction — and whether this marks a turning point in the UK’s response to the Epstein scandal.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor strenuously denies any wrongdoing.
