00:00:00.000 Virginia Roberts Giffray, one of Epstein's many accusers, is set to release a tell-all book next week.

00:00:06.020 The question many Canadians are asking, does Mark Kearney link to Epstein? Let's take a look.

00:00:11.140 In a soon-to-be-published posthumous memoir, Jeffrey Epstein's accuser, Virginia Giffray lashes out at the people she says abused her.

00:00:19.540 In the book called Nobody's Girl, a memoir of surviving abuse and fighting for justice,

00:00:24.800 Giffray offers an expanded account of her long-standing claims that she was sexually trafficked by the late financier to billionaires, politicians, and Prince Andrew.

00:00:37.940 She claims that Epstein and his longtime companion Ghislaine Maxwell coaxed her into performing sex acts and was sometimes directed to have sex with Epstein's famous friends.

00:00:47.360 The book was co-written by Giffray and author-journalist Amy Wallace.

00:00:52.100 It was completed before Giffray committed suicide back in April.

00:00:57.860 With me now to discuss is CTV's royal commentator, Afia Hagan.

00:01:01.960 Afia, good morning to you.

00:01:03.560 So what new details could we hear about Prince Andrew and Virginia Giffray?

00:01:11.260 Well, in this book, Virginia Giffray's memoir that she wrote before she took her own life in April,

00:01:19.100 she pretty much details what it was like spending time with Prince Andrew,

00:01:25.160 the three times she alleges that she had sex with Prince Andrew. 0.87

00:01:29.800 And she says that he felt very entitled to her as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.

00:01:38.040 That's what she has written in Nobody's Girl. 0.91

00:01:41.160 She calls Epstein a master manipulator as well.

00:01:44.900 And she basically details their encounters, said the Duke of York guessed her age correctly at 17 and said,

00:01:54.620 my daughters are just a little younger than you.

00:01:57.720 And she also details the picture that was taken, that infamous picture where he has his hand around her waist,

00:02:06.420 even though he denies even meeting her and saying that that picture has been photoshopped.

00:02:11.840 She says that her mum had, you know, she thought her mum would say, you know,

00:02:16.480 you cannot meet a royal without having a picture taken with him.

00:02:20.640 My mum would never forgive me if I met someone as famous as Prince Andrew didn't pose for a picture.

00:02:25.640 So she got Kodak Fundsaver from her room, handed it to Epstein, who took the picture of the prince with his arm around her waist.

00:02:35.020 Epstein snapped the photo.

00:02:37.000 She talks about going to a nightclub with him as well, that he was a bumbling dancer.

00:02:41.880 You know, these are things that we have heard before, but together in the book,

00:02:46.360 it really gives us the context as well as her thoughts and her feelings around the time that these encounters were happening.

00:02:53.760 Of course, we have heard in court very factual descriptions of the encounters that she had with Prince Andrew.

00:03:00.720 But like I said, in this book, we get much more context of that.

00:03:04.380 Now, that's definitely some serious stuff right there, to say the absolute least.

00:03:08.300 Before we get back into the episode, I want to point out that I feel like my videos are being censored,

00:03:12.760 and people aren't seeing them as much as they usually do.

00:03:15.380 Now, if you see this video, don't forget to like, subscribe,

00:03:18.580 and let me know in the comment section whether you saw this part.

00:03:21.300 Thanks.

00:03:22.040 Let's get back to the action.

00:03:23.140 So, Andrew has denied the accusations at the same time he did settle out of court with her.

00:03:29.820 How could this book, being published, reflect on him, reflect on the royal family?

00:03:36.140 I mean, what has happened to him since this story first broke years ago about the relationship,

00:03:41.780 if you want to call it that, between the prince and Virginia Dufresne?

00:03:44.960 I mean, when it comes to this whole affair, Prince Andrew and his relationship with Virginia Dufresne,

00:03:52.240 and also Prince Andrew and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, I mean, the revelations just keep on coming,

00:03:59.800 whether it's the Epstein files, whether it's emails that he has sent to Epstein.

00:04:03.960 You know, the latest only a couple of days ago, an email was released to the newspapers,

00:04:08.800 and that was sent in February 2011, even though he said he cut off all contact with Epstein in December 2010.

00:04:18.240 And now this book, with its further revelations as well, this is just continuing embarrassment for Prince Andrew,

00:04:27.080 for the royal family, for King Charles III.

00:04:29.860 He keeps being dragged back into this affair.

00:04:32.900 And also, you know, the Epstein files just keep on giving.

00:04:37.780 There's always a revelation when they are reopened, when the dust has blown off them,

00:04:42.880 when we get another data dump.

00:04:44.860 Prince Andrew's name, and the name of Sarah Ferguson as well lately,

00:04:48.480 also keeps being dragged into this affair.

00:04:51.900 And it's so hugely damaging for Prince Andrew, but particularly for the royal family,

00:04:57.540 for the working royals who are still out there, front and centre,

00:05:00.760 and they are the ones that are sort of confronted with it,

00:05:03.320 because we don't really see Prince Andrew in royal life anymore.

00:05:06.640 He has been stripped of his titles.

00:05:08.520 He is still the Duke of York.

00:05:09.900 The last time we saw him, a royal engagement was for a family funeral,

00:05:14.880 but we don't really see him anymore.

00:05:16.300 But it continues to embarrass.

00:05:18.520 It continues to be hugely damaging for the brand of the royal family.

00:05:23.560 CTV's royal commentator, Afia Hagan, joining us from London.

00:05:26.800 Thank you for that.

00:05:27.600 Now to answer the question at the beginning of the video,

00:05:29.440 was Carney involved?

00:05:31.300 Well, let's look at the facts.

00:05:33.340 Carney was spotted with Epstein's accomplice,

00:05:35.080 Ghislaine Maxwell, numerous times.

00:05:37.480 Some people have said the pictures were AI,

00:05:39.440 but the ones I'm showing you right here are 100% real.

00:05:42.460 Now of course, that by itself doesn't prove anything.

00:05:45.280 However, there's something else you might find interesting.

00:05:47.880 I'm going to read you a quote from an article by Juno News.

00:05:50.680 Canada's newly elected Prime Minister, Mark Carney,

00:05:52.720 attended a private dinner function hosted by Prince Andrew

00:05:55.260 at Buckingham Palace in March 2014,

00:05:58.420 even after Andrew's ties to convicted sex offender

00:06:00.880 and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein were made public.

00:06:04.400 The dinner party brought together around 20 high-profile figures from the banking sector.

00:06:08.540 Carney, who had recently just been appointed the governor of the Bank of England,

00:06:11.880 was personally invited by Andrew to discuss financial issues with other industry leaders.

00:06:16.540 Mr. Carney was invited by the Duke of York,

00:06:18.540 who brought together figures from a range of financial institutions,

00:06:21.600 such as banks and hedge funds.

00:06:23.040 Before the dinner function, Prince Andrew's reputation had already begun to deteriorate

00:06:27.120 due to revelations regarding his close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

00:06:31.360 Now that's the part I find particularly disturbing.

00:06:34.220 Mark Carney literally had a public dinner with Prince Andrew,

00:06:37.740 but not only did he do that,

00:06:39.300 he did that after it became public knowledge

00:06:41.300 that Prince Andrew was an accused sex offender

00:06:43.760 and a good friend of Jeffrey Epstein.

00:06:46.180 Now with Carney, he either knew,

00:06:47.840 or he ought to have known what happened with Prince Andrew.

00:06:50.140 And to this date, Mark Carney hasn't offered a believable explanation

00:06:54.340 of what he was doing with Ghislaine Maxwell or Prince Andrew.

00:06:57.840 Now here's the icing on the cake.

00:06:59.920 It is a fact that Mark Carney's sister-in-law was good friends with Ghislaine Maxwell,

00:07:04.500 and they were such good friends that Jeffrey Epstein had Mark Carney's sister-in-law's information

00:07:08.880 in his little black book.

00:07:10.740 And of course, I'll attach my sources in the description so you can take a look at this yourself.

00:07:15.180 Everything's been fact-checked.

00:07:16.600 Everything's been verified.

00:07:18.000 There's no conspiracy theories here.

00:07:19.560 So what's the consensus?

00:07:21.800 Honestly, at this time, I don't think there's enough information

00:07:24.080 to say that Mark Carney or Justin Trudeau is a pedophile.

00:07:27.620 But I'll tell you what I think is happening.

00:07:29.340 Yes, it is true that Mark Carney was connected to Epstein

00:07:31.540 through at least one degree of separation on either side,

00:07:34.860 that being Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell.

00:07:37.380 Is that a coincidence?

00:07:38.900 Possibly, but I don't think so.

00:07:41.160 Here's what I think happened.

00:07:42.520 Now I don't believe there's anything sexual

00:07:44.080 or maybe even necessarily criminal going on between Epstein and Mark Carney.

00:07:47.780 However, I do believe there were some shady business dealings going on behind the scenes.

00:07:52.520 That's what I think.

00:07:53.560 Put it this way, why else would Carney, as the governor of the Bank of England,

00:07:57.220 have a public dinner with an accused sex offender?

00:08:00.660 What likely happened is that Prince Andrew paid Carney to be there

00:08:03.840 and paid him a lot of money.

00:08:06.080 But here's the question I have.

00:08:07.560 What were they talking about?

00:08:09.420 Well, I can tell you, it wasn't soccer.

00:08:11.940 Let's put it that way.

00:08:13.040 But Carney isn't alone in facing accusations and being involved in serious crimes.

00:08:17.380 Justin Trudeau himself was accused of being a pedophile.

00:08:20.360 And I want to stress, there's no evidence at this time that proves that.

00:08:23.820 However, there have been rumors going around for many years

00:08:26.500 and even Pierre Polyev poked fun of it in the House of Commons.

00:08:30.420 I'll show you a clip from a little while back.

00:08:32.100 So, the high school drama teacher over here accuses others of liking the sounds of their own voices.

00:08:38.540 This is from a guy who, if he were made of chocolate, he would eat himself.

00:08:42.660 But we don't want to do that until after he answers my question, which I keep asking.

00:08:49.600 Hey, it's about the cost of groceries in B.C. and everywhere else.

00:08:53.040 He's right.

00:08:53.600 The NDP has already put in a carbon tax there.

00:08:56.040 But he wants to force them to increase it by almost 40 cents to 61 cents a liter,

00:09:03.680 a federally imposed tax by the costly coalition of the Liberals and NDP.

00:09:08.020 How much will it add to the cost of groceries for the average family? 0.75

00:09:11.980 How much?

00:09:12.300 The Honourable Prime Minister.

00:09:15.880 Yes, Mr. Speaker, I was a high school teacher before getting into politics

00:09:19.600 and I'm having a little trouble remembering what exactly the job that the Leader of the Opposition had before getting into politics.

00:09:26.940 Mr. Speaker, we have a plan to fight climate change.

00:09:31.600 We have a plan to continue to move forward on supporting Canadians with a grocery rebate,

00:09:38.200 with a growing economy, with great middle-class jobs.

00:09:41.160 We're delivering health care supports for Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

00:09:46.020 Delivering dental care that has helped 300,000 kids access dental care over the past number of months,

00:09:52.520 including 1,100 in his own riding.

00:09:55.040 Mr. Speaker, we will continue to be there for Canadians.

00:09:57.240 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.

00:09:59.400 Yes, and he left right in the middle of the semester and I'm having trouble remembering why.

00:10:06.740 Now, Mr. Speaker.

00:10:08.740 Mr. Speaker.

00:10:11.160 I have to admit, that was a bit of a cheeky question by Polly Avs. 0.99

00:10:38.940 But the truth of the matter is that Justin Trudeau never told the world why he left his teaching job mid-semester.

00:10:45.620 Very strange.

00:10:46.760 Now, I want to reiterate, just for the fact-checkers,

00:10:49.100 there was no evidence that Justin Trudeau or Mark Carney were involved with Epstein in any criminal way or any sexual way.

00:10:55.480 And there's definitely no evidence either of them were pedophiles.

00:10:58.300 However, I also want to point out, there was a lot of suspicious occurrences that haven't been fully explained.

00:11:02.720 And I also want to remind you that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
