“After Charles saw a photo from Epstein’s archive of him smiling surrounded by women, his message became crystal clear. If Andrew expects the cost of his accommodation and security to continue to be covered by the royal family, he needs to show at least some remorse. smiling on camera,especially in this context,is unacceptable,” a source told RadarOnline.
