In an effort to dampen down a frenzy of speculation about the prince becoming king, a spokesperson for Prince Charles has told the outlet People that there have not been any talks about Queen Elizabeth II retiring at age 95 — nor will there be. The source told People that the queen, not Charles, had made the call to push Andrew into the background. Charles, it was reported, was central to the forced “retiring” of Prince Andrew, who has been engulfed in scandal over his ties to dead financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Her Majesty is in her nineties and can understandably only do so much,” a source told U.K. tabloid the Sun in recent days. I know what happened, and there’s only one of us telling the truth, and I know that’s me,” Giuffre told BBC Panorama.
