New allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

She did, no doubt aided by an upbringing that taught her to think of and treat everyone below her in the social scale with utter contempt.

There was also the fact that the Liberal Party didn't want the scandal.

Maxwell is perfectly safe in my opinion. She struck a deal with the current US administration to make a public statement that Trump wasn't involved in any of this. After which, she was moved from her high security prison to a low security prison camp.

I'm sure the agreement is that she will either be quietly pardoned in the next couple of years or at the very latest, just as Trump leaves.

She won't be talking about anything to anyone with the prospect of an early pardon ahead of her.

I'm aware that I was put out in my pram to get fresh air...but I wasn't left to howl.
The relative that I mentioned upthread was a father and appalled at the baby being left to cry.

When I was about 9, and playing outside I'd be asked to keep an eye on a neighbour's baby. There was certainly no question of leaving her to 'cry it out'.

Apart from anything else, some of the dads in our block were on shift work and trying to sleep during the day.

Spankings.

He gets a mention in a Northern soul book I read that young lads that snuck off to all niters were put to him for corporal punishment ..spa kings.
Seemingly it was an open secret in the area.

You understand the IRA were responsible for the explosion, not Mountbatten? That he was targeted for his military service and close links with the Royal family? Why on earth would King Charles wash the family’s 100 year old dirty linen in public over events he had no hand in?

Just remembered another one of my generation that was young boys not believed, not girls or women.
Cyril Smith Rochdale.
Those too young to know about this deviant might Google him.
He managed to close down all allegations for 20 years based on his status and the perceived status of those making the allegations. They were, of course, all completely true.

I think we get back to what Mairia Cahill wrote about when history is rewritten to protect organisations and institutions.

How does King Charles get away with that then?

In case I’m not clear. This man Lord Mountbatten of Burma was a really prolific child abuser of small boys. That is on the public record. Meanwhile our King has always said that this man is a mentor and he has never ever criticised him. Or said anything against him. What on earth is that all about?

That event killed 3 other people and seriously injured with life changing consequences 3 other people. Even in his own violent death other innocent people suffered, which was the theme of his life. Violence to achieve an aim and the death of innocents was the price that was worth paying. He had no empathy to humanity, so abuse for sexual gratification wouldn't have been a big deal.

Yes we should start from that point but that doesn’t excuse the need for verifiable evidence - or that starting point can be abused as in Amber Heard’s case.

Or perhaps he does not care.

i’d like to see our King accepting that this absolute hero to him was fallible. He hero worships a child abuser.

Yes, she is. But there are numerous examples the other way, so the default position should be that we believe the women.

Ok… so murdered is not enough, what would you like to see happen?

Not given the connection and mentoring he gave our king. And the influence he had on our royal family.

No

Eleanor Williams would be a notable exception and of course Amber Heard

Sane here. My mum says I was always a cold baby and cried alot when left outside because of the cold.
We've moved on from that one and we joke about it now, especialy when I don't switch the heating on when she visits😂

It wouldn’t be my first thought, but I’d definitely be reflecting on what his bad choices might cost me.

Also Fergie and her financial adviser, many rumours about Prince Philip, Princess Margaret and her married lover, Diana had multiple affairs with married men throughout her marriage.

No. Not a British PM

@HelenaWaiting It was referred to in several recent media stories by well connected hacks. You may scoff at that but when it comes to royal stories, sources are very rarely ever willing to be named. Meanwhile, we are all still waiting for any of the York family to publicly express empathy for the victims of Epstein and his associates.

As for the significance - well. If I had just learned that my father had lied to me, my whole family and the public about his relationship with one of the worst known paedophiles in the world, which quite possibly means that he’s lied to all of us about everything else too, my first thought would not be “oh poor me, someone might take my title away”. But maybe it would be yours.
