No surprise that the met have stopped. Their investigation into PA.

OK? Considering the current climate could it be they haven't actually found anything?

They know there will be a public outcry they will get other people in to investigate the investigation so its in there interests to find the smoking gun if there is one

Perhaps *as creepy as he is) he is...innocent?

The queen is spending millions to defend him apparently but at least his siblings and PW are aware of the potential problems he has caused.

The queen will throw him under the bus to protect the crown. So will Charles and William

It's not surprising they dropped it like a hot potato. That said, when he can no longer hide behind his mum there's no way Charles is going to let him rain on his parade and William won't want the association. I think it's really only a matter of time. The damage has been done; the interview with Maitlis was one of the most absurd things I've ever seen.

Scotland yard have done two investigations and reviewed the "new evidence" they simply have no evidence that a crime has been committed on British soil we cannot do a thing about crimes in other countries even the mcann case (for example) we are only allowed to investigate if they allow it we cannot go in and take over demand all the evidence etc etc its all diplomatic

You can do what the fuck you like if you’re part of “the institution”
They’re all untouchable
There is so little accountability or shame or consequence.

Nothing ever gets challenged unless you’re female and wish to discuss, protect, or defend your rights not to be raped or murdered or otherwise diminished.

This is why women keep being treated like we are.

It’s exhausting.

And it’s disgusting to use publicly funded civil servants to dodge being served like we saw with that ridiculous cat n mouse sitch in August.

Or could it be they've not tried too hard to find anything? Just maybe 🤔

Haven’t they dropped it after speaking to VR? I wonder what was said.

Andrew is untouchable. Of course, nothing was going to happen. The RF are above the law. And I suspect they know it.

Oh what a surprise another cover up for the royals sure we knew that was coming.

It's interesting (in a good way) the Met have said this today as just yesterday the RF were in damage control and "sources" saying they don't want anything to do with Andrew. When I read that in the DM, I knew it was BS. The taxpayer will continue to pay for this, as the Queen backs up her son. It's absolutely appalling.

I don’t know why people are turning this into a big class issue. It’s not like many accusations of rape ever get anywhere near a court in this country anyway. What’s the prosecution rate? 1% or something? It’s not like other men who may or may not be rapists need to feel hard done by compared to PA.

He is an arse, but the age of consent in this country is 16 and she was older, so he does not appear to have committed a crime under British law.
What do you want the Met to do?
I certainly think there are better things for them to be getting on with.

they simply have no evidence that a crime has been committed on British soil

this ^^

It's not an institutional cover up. It's a matter of jurisdiction

we cannot do a thing about crimes in other countries even the mcann case (for example)

Well we can, but only when the relevant law includes explicit provision for extra-territoriality (such as terrorism). But it's basically true for nearly everything else.

The thing is guilty or innocent, it would be very very difficult to prove a crime had been committed.
Believe me I'm no fan of Andrew at all but this was always going to be the case.
