Don’t these new revelations include comments about his own daughters only being marginally older?
No, he guessed Virginia's age and made the comment that his daughters were slightly younger. What a vile, loathsome man.

I thought he didn’t know or remember, Virginia?

Apologies, either way, shocking.

So he referenced his own teenage daughters before going on to have sex with a 17 year old.

Andrew Lownie’s book, Entitled is excellent: https://amzn.eu/d/f0ljZmY
I don’t think anything from VG is not already out there.
Dreadful man, and I have to say, entirely enabled by his mother.

It’s incredible. I’d always been sympathetic to ‘good hearted’ Sarah F…Now, however…

I badly worded it, I mean he won't sue because he won't want to draw attention to the fact that he has no defence. I meant the term defence in a general context rather than the legal one.

No, it would be up to the publisher to come up with a defence. Which might include that it's true or that it's fair comment on a matter of public interest.

Whatever - there's no way Andrew will want that all aired in court so it won't happen.

@SerendipityJane so if Andrew did sue the publisher of the book, it would be for Andrew to prove because he would be the one accusing. Is that what you mean?

I just think everyone should know about these details, published yesterday:

‘Prince Andrew believed having sex with me was his birthright’: Virginia Giuffre on her abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and the king’s brother www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/15/prince-andrew-virginia-giuffre-abuse-epstein-maxwell?CMP=share_btn_url

It will all be brushed under the carpet. He might get a small punishment like not being allowed to attend royal Christmas dinner but apart from that it’s “nothing to see here. Never explain, never complain”. The same happened with his great uncle, Mountbatten (see link). The young boys in Kincora Care Home were treated abominably by the establishment. The royal family are corrupt and rotten to the core. They are above the law and exempt from Freedom of Information requests. It’s time for them to go.

He won't sue them because he cannot provide any evidence that the allegations aren't true.

I'm no lawyer, but traditionally, it's up to the accuser to prove their accusations, not the accused to clear themselves.

Goldeh · 16/10/2025 17:20

He won't sue them because he cannot provide any evidence that the allegations aren't true. He even goes as far as saying he never met her despite evidence to the contrary. The sad fact of it though is that so many of the people involved are rich enough and connected enough that it's unlikely the full facts will ever come out.

SerendipityJane · 16/10/2025 13:43

He's free to sue the publishers.
