I haven’t watched the interview, but heard reports of the content. I just find it unbelievable he claims he can’t remember meeting a woman he had his arm around! Despicable. Does anyone believe him?

EM: Do you regret the whole friendship with Epstein?
PA: Now, still not and the reason being is that the people that I met and the opportunities that I was given to learn either by him or because of him were actually very useful.

Really wish Andrew could explain what he learned, because nobody else can work out how Epstein made money. Did he just teach Andrew how to grift?

royal family members who are not very bright are easy marks for predators like Epstein, Saville etc

Does anyone think that Prince Andrew's non-alcoholic drink was drugged with something being as he has no recollection of a woman he was clearly happy to be pictured with and have his arm around her waist? Maybe he willingly was under the influence as part of his memory has been wiped out completely! I would have loved if Emily asked him if he would be happy to take a lie detector test!! His response would have nailed it!!

I hope Harry and Meghan learn from this and step away from the whole circus.

He can still do charity work and she can return to acting and he probably already has enough independent wealth to live very comfortably.

However, the Crown doesn't generate enough wealth or work to enable spare heirs to compete with the super rich, particularly as they fall down the hereditary line.

NotaWagon · 17/11/2019 18:36

Megan can relax, even TRYING to embarrass her, her father can't hold a candle to Prince Andrew.

HiHoToffee · 17/11/2019 18:47

No I don't think his drink was spiked, it is more likely he doesn't remember her because she didn't matter to him, she was just there to 'serve' him, one of the many.

Not sure how he remembers not having sex with her...

RhinoskinhaveI · 17/11/2019 18:55

instead they are picked off and exploited by the super rich

Oblomov19 · 17/11/2019 19:26

Prince Andrew interview.

Lack of empathy and understanding, for the victims.

PR disaster.

"I've never met the woman " he says. The photo is there!

Is this like Clinton : I did not have relations with that woman " ie Lewinsky. Err, yes you did.

Liar liar pants on fire.

Lulu1919 · 17/11/2019 20:09

Only bit I saw was when he said he has or had a condition that stops him sweating !?
Not sure why this was in the interview lol

LoyaltyBonus · 17/11/2019 20:15

Lulu because the woman is claiming that he was very sweaty in her recollection.

He says he doesn't recall the meeting because the photo is fake. He wouldnt have been dressed like that and he's not sure it's his hand. Apparently the experts cant prove it one way or the other because the published picture is a photo of a photo. I find it very difficult to believe that even a man who routinely goes out in a suit and tie never takes them off during the course of an evening.

@NumbersStation

‘I’m afraid I can just seeing him whizz about the many corridors in Buckie House like the little boy in the Shining’

Hilarious
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice one - 😂😂😂😂

CathyorClaire · 17/11/2019 20:48

Having watched the whole thing it confirmed the impression given by the extracts.

Ridiculous man was wriggling like a wriggly thing in wriggle town and apparently all against the advice of his own PR experts who didn't need to be psychic to see how it was all going to play.

Cannot believe he was citing useful contacts as the primary reason not to regret his involvement with Epstein Shock. Want to know how and why Ghislaine Maxwell seems to have slipped off the radar Confused

Butterfly98 · 17/11/2019 21:23

New pics have now been printed in the DM tonight of Andrew (who never parties) partying with various women in St Tropez with arms around their waist too (he said he never does PDA's). He might claim he doesn't remember partying there either!

merrymouse · 17/11/2019 21:33

Watching 'the Crown' epsiode 1 at the moment - the Queen is very upset that she is having to pretend that she doesn't know that Anthony Blunt has betrayed his country - Duke of Edinburgh: "He should be shot!".

However in real life it appears that the Royals are more like the characters in 'Succession'. As long as you can say 'NRPI', 'No real person involved' you just move on.

VeryGenuinequestions · 17/11/2019 22:16

I've just seen the new photos.

A close up of pa and a woman, about to lick his face.
I cannot believe he did that interview. A slew of photos have already come out , what next!

Extract from Dublin tabloid "Sunday World" Nov 2000

"Gossip columnists in London have also cited Andrew's renewed love for night spots in the capital. Just a couple of weeks ago he was reported to have left top nightclub China White, sweating profusely and with a beautiful woman on his arm".

Even allowing for tabloid exaggeration, this article and the Daily Mail article talk about him attending parties with Ghislaine Maxwell a few months before the Virginia Giuffre photo.

NumbersStation · 17/11/2019 22:21

Aw I’m glad to know he still sweats.

I was wondering how he put the fire out in his pants. The alternative was that he was peeing himself laughing? Angry but sweaty pants will put out any fire...

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 17/11/2019 22:27

Sadly this will all eventually die down.
Andrew is like Boris, Teflon coated hide of a rhinoceros.
They both think normal rules don’t apply to them.
Andrew will just strut back to his pampered, over privileged life.
There will always be shady billionaires who will bankroll the lifestyle of a royal.
Apparently Andrew thought the interview went well.
He is delusional with zero self awareness; but he will never change for as long as he is protected by his mother and deferred to by sycophants.

VeryGenuinequestions · 17/11/2019 22:30

He also seem to have or pretend to have a vague understanding of what had give on... At one point he went to say '' friend '' then corrected himself...

I wish matlis had asked him what he knows now about pa...

IcedPurple · 17/11/2019 22:39

Was he actually shot at in the falklands, my husband says he was kept on the far far fringes of the action, and laughed at the suggestion he was at risk

At the time of his Falklands 'service', Andrew was 3rd in line to the throne. Absolutely no way he was placed in the line of fire, no matter what the official line was.

IcedPurple · 17/11/2019 22:49

He says he doesn't recall the meeting because the photo is fake. He wouldnt have been dressed like that and he's not sure it's his hand. Apparently the experts cant prove it one way or the other because the published picture is a photo of a photo.

The original photo is supposedly held by the FBI. Surely they would have checked the photo for authenticity - using the considerable resources at their disposal - as soon as they got it?

BertrandRussell · 17/11/2019 22:52

I thought it was considered too much of a risk to the rest of the troops to have royals doing frontline duties. Isn’t that why Harry was pulled out of Afghanistan when the DM printed where he was deployed?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 17/11/2019 22:55

Want to know how and why Ghislaine Maxwell seems to have slipped off the radar

I imagine the FBI will have a view on the "why" ... the "how" seems less certain
