Prince Andrew

He just thinks they're "blood princesses" so will sail through life on a sea of wealth and privilege.

Andrew was on a taxpayer funded engagement for the NSPCC then he got on the Lolita Express and went to Epstein's Island?

You find yourself wondering at his motives ?

Maybe he doesn't value women that much ?

Yes, @PinkPanther57 - there needs to be transparent accountability for all of them. Restrict titles and privilege to a few.
I find it extraordinary (among other things) that Sarah Ferguson was actually filmed offering access to Andrew for £500k, and nothing happened.

I think this whole debacle has held up a mirror to how the Royals have unimaginably different lives. Before social media, life was much easier for them. With power & privilege comes responsibility & people expect them to increasingly earn their keep not just to pay lip service.

I think what needs to be focused on here is bringing Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to justice, in some way. I know that for arrogant, lazy, entitled people, the loss of titles and access is huge. However, there is a lot of damning evidence.

It's all so sordid and vile, yet he seems to be escaping proper justice, sadly.

And why did he put them at risk in that way. Quite terrifying really.

He’s just a dirty old man. There’s plenty of them around. Not a criminal, just a very unpleasant character. So those hoping to see him imprisoned will be disappointed. Being morally bankrupt isn’t a crime.

modernise the Monarchy

Now there's an oxymoron if ever there was.

You have no idea what his intentions are.

If he really wanted to modernise the Monarchy in any way, as he says he does, he'd change it for Louis. Why do we need to add to the random Prince/ princesses? They can all be Lords/ Ladies if they are desperate for titles. I dont think he has any intention of reforming the Monarchy in any meaningful way or any way that doesnt involve them doing less work for more or the same money/ houses/staff etc.

His name is the only one I've seen mentioned. VG didn't name the man who choked her, unfortunately. He was some vile person and I hope he does get named..
.

I’ve wondered this too, does anyone know if Virginias book also names the other rich and famous men involved?

It’s getting beyond weird that Andrew is the only one

Preparing to be flamed but I would be grateful if someone could explain as I’m a little confused to be honest.
It seems to be that the media is going after the royals and prince andrew.
There is no actual proof. A picture. A book that the person who wrote this cannot be questioned about. Just to add, I’m also not saying she is lying.
Her ‘evidence’ was dismissed by the prosecution against Gillaine Maxwell. Why?
There was no admission from the rioyal family but a payment was made. Still no admission.
Sarah Ferguson has also been now brought into things
I’m struggling to understand however why Donald Trump and other famous people who were greatly associated with Epstein and were seen in pictures also as to why they are they being not being persecuted.
May be I’ve missed something

It was reported that he gave them large money gifts. Grifter Fergie took them to his island and also took them to visit him to celebrate his leaving prison. The files from when Andrew was trade envoy need to be opened and scrutinised.

Yes, that is baffling me too. Who else is discussed in this book? Andrew Windsor is a vile creature if the accusations are true, but what of the others in Epstein's circle? The book seems to have been commissioned and written as a massive act of deflection. Something about this is rotten to the core, and I don't believe for one minute in Epstein's 'suicide'. I expect we'll have to wait until after the deaths of some of the other high-profile predators for the truth to fully emerge.

I find it incredible that Prince Andrew is the only “friend of Epstein” who has been outed in this way. When you think of all those flights to the island….

Apparently, they were on Epstein’s payroll too.

There us a sense of hierarchy in the RF around titles. Andrew was the golden child. He was made a Duke and yet Edward was only (until recently) an Earl. He seemed a bit overlooked as the youngest. For sure Edward made a few boobs when he was younger with that Royal Knockout and stalking William with his media company. However by and large he and his family have set a decent example and kept their heads down. He is now D of Edinburgh an honour I feel he has deserved.

His statement read to me like the words of a man desperate to save face, who was given 'an offer he couldn't refuse' by people holding most of the strings.

This didn't quote

This is great😂
Can we get it viral. I'm going to refer to him this way in every post and every comment on Ticktock and Insta. If it gets established we heard it here first.

Didn't he say in the interview that his main fault was he was 'too honourable' as the reason for spending 4 days in the pedophile, child trafficker's house. He has even qualified not using his titles as an honourable and selfless act to support his sense of public duty and to prevent distraction of the dedicated work of the king. He's a vile delusional human who doesn't know what truth or honour are. Doesn't say much about the others if he was the favourite child.

I wonder if William will change that for Charlotte. In fact it’d be better if Charles did it now.

I'm not sure if they will. I would have expected, if the intention was to level up the sexism of it, that when the LP's were issued for the Cambridge children prior to George's birth they would have done it then.

It was a prime time to re-write them going forward when neither William or Harry had children yet. But they didn't. In the changing "The eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales..." to "All children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales" they literally only changed it for the then future Cambridge children.

They were changing it because if George had been a girl she'd have been a future Queen but entitled to a lesser title than a younger brother. Yet the change didn't even future proof it for that possibility - she'd have been HRH Princess, she'd have been future Queen, but her own future children still wouldn't have been automatically entitled to titles.
