(TJV NEWS) In newly released undercover footage obtained by O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), American businessman and former advisor to Prince Andrew, John Bryan, makes explosive claims that the Duke of York lied about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including allegations of involvement with underage girls.

“I knew he [Prince Andrew] saw him [Epstein],” Bryan said on hidden camera. “But he lied to me that he was such a close friend.” Bryan’s remarks suggest the prince misrepresented the depth of his ties to Epstein—even to those inside his trusted circle.

Bryan, who was reportedly brought into Andrew’s private residence at Royal Lodge after the prince’s disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, had been tasked with managing the royal’s public image amid mounting scandal. In an earlier interview with the New York Post, Bryan said, “They brought me in to help him. Andrew was so distressed, he wasn’t able to focus for more than 40 minutes.”

Bryan also told The Daily Mail that he devised a five-page crisis communications plan dubbed the “House of Kroy,” which advised Andrew to show empathy for Epstein’s victims while asserting his own innocence. At the time, Bryan publicly defended the prince, saying, “I believe Prince Andrew is innocent.”

However, the new undercover footage tells a different story. “I did a big thing in The Daily Mail saying that I believed Andrew,” Bryan told the undercover OMG journalist. “And then I found out he was lying. I was so pissed.” When pressed on what Andrew had lied about, Bryan’s response was blunt: “That he was f***ing underage girls. That’s not cool.”

According to OMG, both the Royal Family and John Bryan have been contacted for comment, but have not responded as of publication.

The footage raises new questions about Prince Andrew’s ongoing denial of wrongdoing and reignites scrutiny over his ties to Epstein—an association that has already cost him his royal duties and reputation.
