Evelyn De Rothschild dies at 91

Evelyn de Rothschild, who was reported to be one of Jeffrey Epstein’s handlers, died Nov. 7 at his home in London. He was 91.

Mr. de Rothschild carried on the traditions of the Rothschild network, dating to the 1760s, that helped finance global wars and arranged for Britain’s 1875 acquisition of a stake in the Suez Canal.

Wsj.com reports: Rather than charging into high-risk trading ventures like other investment banks, he kept the focus largely on discreet advisory services and reaped profits by helping Margaret Thatcher privatize state-owned companies in the 1980s.

He also served as a financial adviser to Queen Elizabeth II and owned a stake in the Economist magazine.

The banking dynasty’s founder, Mayer Amschel Rothschild of Frankfurt, a Jewish dealer in rare coins, began making loans and cultivating a highborn clientele in the 18th century. His banking business flourished, and he dispatched his sons to set up sister banks in London, Paris, Vienna and Naples. During the Napoleonic Wars, the London branch smuggled gold across the English Channel to finance the Duke of Wellington’s troops.

In recent times, Rothschild & Co. has remained a strong contender in investment banking, especially in advice on mergers and acquisitions. So far this year, Rothschild ranks eighth in terms of investment-banking revenue in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, according to Dealogic. In terms of M&A revenue, it ranks third.

Evelyn Robert Adrian de Rothschild, born Aug. 29, 1931, was the son of Anthony Gustav de Rothschild and the former Yvonne Cahen d’Anvers, of the Bischoffsheim banking family. The family lived in London and at Ascott, a country estate in Buckinghamshire featuring collections of books, paintings and Chinese porcelain.

As a boy during World War II, Evelyn was evacuated to live for several years in the U.S. and operated the soda fountain at a Long Island drugstore. After returning to England, he attended the Harrow boarding school and studied at Trinity College, Cambridge. He left Cambridge without graduating and, the Times of London reported, said he didn’t remember why he had dropped out.

His early enthusiasms included horse racing and polo. After his father died in 1961, he dedicated himself to preserving the family business. At the time, N.M. Rothschild was still a major player in precious metals and hosted a daily ritual in which dealers used miniature Union Jack flags as signals while setting the price of gold.

In the late 1970s, Mr. de Rothschild clashed with another cousin, Jacob Rothschild, who was seeking a larger and broader scale for the family business. At the time, Jacob Rothschild ran Rothschild Investment Trust and was seeking to expand it aggressively. “Two Rothschilds on the scene gives rise to utter confusion,” Evelyn de Rothschild declared in 1980. The cousins eventually settled their differences.

“We didn’t want to change the way that the bank was moving, other than to try to [ensure the] quality of the work and open branches in different parts of the world—Singapore, China, Australia,” Mr. de Rothschild told the Financial Times in 2017. During his period as chairman, the bank’s number of offices worldwide grew to more than 50 from 15.

In 2000, he married Lynn Forester, a lawyer and telecommunications entrepreneur who graduated from Pomona College and Columbia University’s law school. She survives him. Two earlier marriages ended in divorce. His survivors also include three children.

He owned thoroughbred racehorses and co-founded Elephant Family, an organization that seeks to conserve Asian wildlife. He also donated to medical research, education and the arts.

In retirement, Mr. de Rothschild indulged his love of chocolate by briefly owning high-end confectionery and tea shops called R Chocolate in London. “I used to be a banker but I’m glad I’m not any more,” he told the Mail newspaper in 2017 in an interview promoting his chocolate. “I don’t think banking is as amusing as it was, and I don’t think banks have behaved all that well.”

  1. Look people don’t crawl out of the Jewish ghetto and become the biggest bankers in Europe by an act of God. They were set up Some say the Jesuits set them up others say Satan.
    Bottom line they were asked by the Vatican to be their bankers .

    • Don’t be fooled into thinking that he is dead. He is just covering his tracts so that he goes off everyone’s radar when it comes time to getting these b$#@@ads. He is still around. Don’t be fooled.

  2. He, or the demonic entity that lived in and controlled completely that vessel, is still alive.
    They do not die because they are already dead and from Hell.
    He has just been transferred into a new body, in a different Rothschild family member.
    BUT, the soulless, spirit consciousness that also occupied that same body as a human being, is dead and in eternal Hell
    They don’t die, the wealthy and powerful Banking elite are just generation by generation possessed by the demonic entities from Hell. They drink the blood of living humans who do have souls (gentiles).
    They are exactly where the Vampire stories come from.
    Even Charles proudly claims to be a direct descendant, of Vlad the impaler.
    Known to be a blood drinking vampire.
    According to the ‘blood libel’ jews:

    There are interesting connections between the Jewish people and Britain’s royals – some more bizarre than others.

    Charles was reportedly circumcised by Rabbi Jacob Snowman in 1948, at the time the leading mohel in London, and the circumciser to the royal family. It is not clear whether his sons have been circumcised, or why it was supposedly done. However, it has been argued that this is a custom dating back to George I, who brought it over from his native Hanover.

    Prince Charles’ father, Phillip, also has an important Jewish connection. His mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg was recognised in 1994 by Yad Vashem as a righteous gentile for saving a Jewish family in war-time Athens. She was buried at the Convent of Saint Mary Magdalene on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

    According to lawyer and academic Alan Dershowitz, Carole, the mother of Prince William’s wife, Kate, is the daughter of Ronald and Dorothy Goldsmith, who he claims were Jews.

    It’s been speculated that Princess Diana’s mother, Frances Shand Kydd was born Frances Ruth Roche, a Rothschild. If that weren’t enough, the London Daily Mail reported that Diana is actually the biological daughter of Sir James Goldsmith, also a Jew.

    According to some conspiracy theorists, this is all part of a plot hatched by the Rothschild family to establish a “Rothschild royal family”, and it relies on the Queen’s and Duke of Edinburgh’s supposed belief that that is the best guarantor of their family’s future and safety.

    Turning back to the 19th century, one of Queen Victoria’s favourite people, after her beloved Prince Albert, was Benjamin Disraeli. Although baptised at 12, he was widely regarded during his time as Prime Minister as a Jew, including by his anti-Semitic rival, William Gladstone.

    Responding to an opponent in the House of Commons, Disraeli once said, “I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right Honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the temple of Solomon.” Disraeli also supported a Bill to remove the requirement that MPs swear a Christian oath of allegiance, a requirement which prevented Jews from assuming office. British Jews have been allowed to sit in Parliament since the passing of the Jews Relief Act in 1858.

    Throughout his life, Victoria’s son, the urbane and hedonistic Edward VII, surrounded himself with Jewish friends, and many of his numerous mistresses were also Jewish. One of his closest friends and riding partners was financier Ernest Cassel, and the anti-Semites of the time sometimes called the king’s residence outside London, Windsor Cassel.

    Edward VII’s son would later receive a letter from a Jewish girl based in Israel. In 1935, when she was 12, Yehudit Ya’avetz wrote a congratulatory letter to King George V in Hebrew. She sent it from Haifa, where she had emigrated two years previously from Germany. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his coronation, Ya’avetz thanked the king for helping the Jewish people, and wrote, “I apologise dearly that my knowledge of the English language is still insufficient to express my feelings in this language, but I hope that the lilt of the Hebrew language will intermingle in the ears of His Majesty.”

    Prince Charles even has his own blue velvet kippa with a royal crest on it in silver to wear at Jewish weddings. So, whether the conspiracists are right or not, it seems that there is something of a bond between Britain’s favorite family and the Jewish people which can be celebrated.”
