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?

I’m sure if there wasn’t a photo to prove it, he’d be saying’ I categorically deny I ever met the woman’.
If he never had sex with underage girls or even women procured by Epstein he’d be vigorously denying it all. He’s not. Just vague flannel.
I still don’t understand why Virginia was trafficked. Was she being held captive or what? Why couldn’t she just leave?

Apparently Epstein wasn't just a paedophile, he was a pimp. He made all his money from prostitution. Called himself a 'financier' to cover it up.

Who 'moi' but I'm a Royal, I can get away with anything!

Sunset, watch the documentary that aired a few weeks ago, The Prince and the Paedophile. Very interesting.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 16/11/2019 10:48

I think the interview is an attempt to get himself off the hook before his daughters wedding. Softening up public opinion. Only it just makes him look worse.

I thought Charles hung around with Saville and had him over a few times?

Although I don't think there was anything underhand involved other than Charles being somewhat naive. People thought of Saville as an ambassador for children back then....

More than that Catherine...JS was allegedly acting as a marriage counsellor for the two of them

If you want to know more..go to david Icke forum..jimmy savile outed as a paedo..fascinating unraveling of what went on behind the scenes, haute en la Garonne etc, children’s homes

Yuck.

Will check out the Icke forum. Thanks.

Let justice mechanisms take care of it rather than public opinion, please.

The justice mechanism aren't 'taking care of it though'. Presumably because he's our monarch's son. The public are more than entitled to have an opinion on that.

If you go to the Icke forum be sure to wear a tin foil hat. Crazy people.

Dowser · 16/11/2019 11:25

Yes there are a few crazies on there..but there were some good researchers also who were joining the dots

Icke might come out with some wacky stuff, but he had Saville down as the sick man he was decades ago. For many with Saville it wasn’t that the evidence wasn’t there - it’s that they didn’t want to see it.

Dowser · 16/11/2019 11:26

...or didn’t want to acknowledge where it would lead to

Oh doubtless they'll be a lot of deep conspiracy nonsense to shift through. But unfortunately we live in times where it's the otherwise 'crazy people' who get to speak the truth. Like court jesters did in the middle ages.

Cam77 · 16/11/2019 11:29

You don’t just “happen to be great friends” with a serious child molestor. Obviously, Epstein didn’t commit suicide either..
“On Wednesday October 30, a forensic pathologist working for Jeffrey Epstein's brother Mark announced he believed that Epstein did not die by suicide. Dr. Michael Baden said on the morning TV show Fox & Friends that Mr. Epstein, 66, experienced a number of injuries that “are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation.”

DriftingLeaves · 16/11/2019 11:31

According to Icke's philosophy Andrew is lizard anyway.

LoyaltyBonus · 16/11/2019 11:40

I think Prince Andrew has groped had his arms around so many young women, it's entirely believable he doesn't recall them as individuals.

longwayoff · 16/11/2019 11:44

A friend sent me a News clip she noticed me in, I was 16 when it was taken. I was talking to a couple who I must have known but, years later, have no idea who they were. I'm pretty sure though that I'd remember them if we'd had sex or trotted off to an orgy together. Perhaps Andrew's just forgetful. I have no idea why he would give such an interview, what possible benefit could it give him?

GrumpyHoonMain · 16/11/2019 11:47

I imagine Prince Andrew is most definitely guilty and that is why the royal family hasn’t intervened in the Harry / Meghan media hatred. They are probably being used as a distraction.

Cam77 · 16/11/2019 11:47

@CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook
I agree with everything you say. It’s one (of many) reasons why having inherited monarchy is so problematic. If an elected politician acts despicably they will (eventually) be called out and have to resign in disgrace. But what about the monarch, or the heir to the throne? Or his/her close relative? They can’t be held responsible as to do so is to effectively attack the whole British establishment, the whole house of cards of wealth and privilege which goes back a thousand years.

Muminabun · 16/11/2019 11:47

The photo is not the only evidence, what about his visits to the island and the footage of him waving young girls off from the doorstep of Epstein’s house. Why have the police left him alone? Scandalous and disgusting.

Cam77 · 16/11/2019 11:49

I have no idea why the BBC would do such an interview. No one trusts them on any issue of child safety after Saville. Most will just see it as giving a mouthpiece to a likely child abuser. Why would you do it?

sue51 · 16/11/2019 11:53

The deal around his house sale was as dodgy as fuck. He has been hanging round with seedy people for years. Its about time his teflon coating was scratched off.

Miljea · 16/11/2019 11:54

I was going through a box of old letters and photos recently.

There were photos of me from when I was a teenager and early 20s with blokes I do not recall, at all, even quite a long correspondence with one who I evidently got 'rather close' to!

And I thought I could name the blokes I've slept with on two hands! 😂

None of this excuses any illegal behaviour on PA's part, of course.

diddl · 16/11/2019 11:57

"He hung around with a paedophile after that paedophile was outed."

Yes I think that is quite telling.

I would have thought in his position it would have been advisable to cut contact straight away!

But he's not the only one to show bad judgement, is it?

PC & Peter Ball for example.

I can't decide if they are arrogant, stupid or both to think that it wouldn't matter!

I even think that William & Harry stayed friends with Guy Pelly for longer than they should have-but maybe the perks make it worthwhile??
