Prince Andrew

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?

Lady Colin? The one that thinks she is related to the Queen? She/He is bonkers.

The problem that Andrew has got is that there will almost certainly be video/audio recordings from Epstein's NY residence. And probably Ghislaine Maxwell's too. So he can't emphatically deny anything beyond "I have no recollection" because that evidence can come out at any point.
And he had to meet Epstein in person because phone lines would be bugged or recorded and they had "sensitive business" to discuss. This will also come out at some point too.
Andrew really has been monumentally stupid

Wasn't Lady Colin Campbell raised a boy? I seem to remember a big News of the World story back in the day.

Interested in this thread?

@nespressowoo I doubt the RF would be able to do that in a foreign prison.

re: Andrew's links to Kazakhstan.
Trump has links to some shady Kazakh 'business' men. (easily googled)

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/11/2019 16:08

Where do the press get this "Queen's favourite son" shite from? They've reported it as fact for decades but no one has the first idea what she feels about them all.

^ this. Honestly, the stuff people repeat as gospel.

Whoops75 · 18/11/2019 16:13

He could have been in pizza express at 5pm AND a nightclub later that night.

This story isn’t going anywhere unless a bigger royal event happens.

longwayoff · 18/11/2019 16:13

She certainly does @JoObrien7. She fawns on the RF in a manner I find deeply unpleasant.

I have never seen anything so pathetic from a grown man as this grovelling apology of an interview to set the record straight.

It’s like a 4 year old who has been accused of pilfering the family chocolate.
The amount of narrative he goes into is unfucking unbelievable

Queen ..andrew did you take the chocolate
Andrew, no ma’am, or no mummy..I went into the fridge for a drink because I was feeling very thirsty. It was a very hot day and As I don’t sweat very much. I thought a nIce cool drink Would cool me down. I remember the day well because I was wearing my blue t shirt and shorts, had it been a school day I would’ve been wearing my uniform As I wouldVe been in London as that’s what I normally wear in London
So that’s how I know I was in sandringham.

So, I went to the fridge and Charles and Anne were there .i think I might have passed you in the passage mummy.

It was really busy with servants milling around as usual but I didn’t take too much notice who was in the kitchen as I just wanted to get in the fridge for the cold lemonade.

Was there chocolate in the fridge..I really don’t remember..there might have been..I just Remember how pleased I was that there was a big jug of ice cold lemonade conveniently placed in the fridge door.

People say there was always Chocolate in the fridge, well that may have been the case but I’m far too honourable just to help myself to the family provisions

Queen..getting irritated..Andrew stfu..can someone take this child for a nap

This should definitely have been nipped in the bud 56 years ago...

janetheimpaler · 18/11/2019 16:23

Property prices must be rising in Woking as Prince Andrew goes there so infrequently.

Passthecherrycoke · 18/11/2019 16:34

Dowser 🤣

Puzzledandpissedoff · 18/11/2019 16:35

What about Laurens van der Post, also a close personal friend of Prince Charles?

I thought he was just another of Charles's gurus who turned out to have invented a lot of his war record? It's been said that PC's views bear the stamp of the last person he spoke to so I get the appeal of this slightly freaky old guy, but I didn't think there was anything worse than that?

@Dowser So true! 😁

Dowser · 18/11/2019 17:08

It’s the 60 minute interview

Puzzledandpissedoff A 14-year-old girl was entrusted to his care in the UK while she pursued her hopes of becoming a ballet dancer. He got her pregnant, which is why we know about it.

In such cases, I always have to wonder how many times the gentleman concerned abused vulnerable teenage girls without them conceiving...

noodlenosefraggle · 18/11/2019 17:25

Whether or not be is The Queens favourite son or not, he clearly is someone who has been indulged all his life. Someone, whether his parents or the people they hired to bring him up have failed to instil in him any kind of humility, grace or thinking skills. Everyone Ive heard speak about encounters with him say he is incredibly stupid but has an overinflated sense of his own intellect. His arrogance in that interview was astounding. I dont think The Queen or Philip have any place disapproving of anyone, whether that be Fergie or Meghan when you look at their own children. They essentially had one job. To produce some half decent Heads of State. Hopefully Charles is not an idiot. Andrew certainly is.

Childlaw2014 · 18/11/2019 17:27

Pass cherry coke I can't understand why he seemed so badly prepared either... If again he was innocent he would be in possession of all the facts wouldn't he... Because he would be interested. He's still coming at it from the pov of loosing his friend and being honourable to his friend.

Apparently epstein helped Andy loosen up, relax.. Wear casual clothes and have fun.

Dowser · 18/11/2019 17:29

Time to get Ghislaine Maxwell in the dock
Also in the pictures posted..what does Naomi Campbell know

doritosdip · 18/11/2019 17:38

Naomi Campbell has said publicly that she had no clue and used words like predator, disgusting etc She added that he was always in the front row at the Victoria Secret fashion show so he could ogle the models. His friendship with the VS boss is also very dodgy - I recall reading about JE buying prime property at a ridiculously low price from his "friend"- blackmail?

doritosdip · 18/11/2019 17:40

You'd think that if GM was such a good friend that PA could have had her make a supportive comment years ago. Her silence is deafening.

Passthecherrycoke · 18/11/2019 17:40

The casual clothes only outside of London mind 🤣

That is horrendous about Laurens Van der Post.
Wasn't he, like Earl Mountbatten a mentor to Prince Charles ?
