Despite his villainous behaviour, anyone feel a teeny bit sorry for Andrew?

No. Sadly the victims didn’t get either the privilege or the sympathy. Anyway it’s not just Andrew and we only know the tip of the iceberg. For the children that were abused and tortured may the entire lot of them rot in hell for eternity. But here we are. A post feeling sorry for him. Spoiler, he will get off or disappear by ‘suicide’. No need to worry about him, I can guarantee he will be A OK no matter where he ends up with a full staff. This is probably a humiliation ritual which he will be paid handsomely for as the fall guy. We all know he would do anything for cash.

I can feel some level of sympathy for most human weaknesses, but when someone goes out of their way to hurt others, sympathy goes out the door. No, I don't feel sorry for him, and I doubt he'll be dealt with as harshly as he deserves, like so many criminals these days.

He is never going to be charged with any kind of sex crime. There would be absolutely no case or prospect of conviction.

What ??!!

Are you fukin joking 😡

Agree 👍 AMW is getting what he deserves but how about the other players?!🤔

I doubt he even saw them as human

Victims of sex trafficking can't consent, so yes it would have constituted rape. He hasn't been found guilty… yet.

Why should Charles step down because of his brother's crimes?

How do you know he raped them? He’s never been found guilty of anything

Well hopefully Andrew will squeal like a tiny little pig.

His standard of living is still going to be way, way higher than the average person, so what’s to feel sorry for? I feel a little sorry for his daughters, I can’t imagine the horror if I were to ever discover my father had committed such crimes.

I’m not sure anyone could gave done it to be realistic, it’s not that easy to be a helicopter pilot under fire, yes he is gross, I feel sad for his daughters too.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He has allegedly (but almost certainly) destroyed many lives, hurt people, risked national security, disgraced the monarchy and his family. That's just the headline issues with him.

Feel sorry for him indeed. This must be rage bait.

Not one iota of sympathy for him or his ghastly ex wife. They are both a pair of greedy, selfish, entitled liars who did not contemplate changing their hideous ways even after Epstein's initial arrest and subsequent jail term. Andrew sat there in that notorious inteview and he lied, lied and then lied some more. The arrogance and entitlement, the strutting around at all the royal nonsense that he and Fergie managed to inveigle their way into after the Queen's death, their smug grinning faces thinking they have got one over on the dumb public, ugh, they have brought it all on themselve

Hell no.

HTH

I’m just furious that the major players in all of this are getting with (possibly) murder, and definitely with serious sexual assaults, because the judiciary in the USA are totally nobbled by their political administration. Yes Andrew should be called to account - but what about all of the rest of them!!!

Odd take really because I imagine they're feeling pretty horrified their dad was raping girls the same age as them

I will reserve my sympathy for his victims

He is possibly being made a scapegoat of sorts - it's ironic, because personally I felt the hounding of Sir Cliff Richard, Paul Gambaccuni and Lord Bramall, oh and Leon Britton too some years ago was misdirection by the Met and Surrey Police to distract from the fact that it was clear the Met had no appetite to investigate Prince Andrew and his links to Epstein.

By going after celebs - and all those I've named were innocent - they could kind of say to the public a) Yes we are going after nonces after Savile b) And all those nonces are connected to YOU - they are not state operatives.

Now, however, it is possible they're going after Andrew to distract from bigger fish, he may be the sacrificial lamb to mix metaphors. I'm not entirely sure he's a paedophile really, and hiring prostitutes isn't illegal, just unsavoury, immoral and ill befitting a royal. If they were trafficked, well, that's not good but some of these 'good time girls' follow a pattern like Christine Keeler who was pilloried by the State because she probably slept with Prince Philip. It's awful but I'm not quite sure Andrew has done the extremely terrible things alleged in those files - I don't object to the OP feeling compassion for someone, it's human - mentally I wouldn't act to improve his lot in any way though.

I don’t feel sorry for him, but I also don’t think it should be just him. I have an uneasy sense of him being the fall guy- absolutely guilty, absolutely complicit, but also not alone.

At the same time he’s long been known as the Royal that no-one who has ever worked for him had anything good to say about him.

Does that mean I should want him to top himself, as some are saying? It feels hard to imagine many other outcomes right now but I don’t think that would be justice.

What I want is many, many more of these odious men held to account, both here and in the US. But it doesn’t feel like we’re going to get that.

I think he should be imprisoned in the Tower of London and become a tourist attraction. He wouldn't know anything was wrong. He could keep his teddies.

Could’ve been worse - he could’ve been left with the mini snickers.

I hope he feels even 1/16 of the hurt, pain, fear and depression he made his victims feel.

I hope he get charged, tried and put in prison.

Nope. And I’d seriously question anyone who would. He preyed on the most vulnerable, abused and raped them. Think of him actually doing that. Really think how scared those girls were, how much physical and mental pain they will have been in. Think about how happy he was to rape and abuse his position to do it. How happy he was to mix with sex traffickers and other powerful people who exploited vulnerable girls and women.

If I felt sorry for someone like that, I would seek therapy for myself.
