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 believe the accuser. Sickening how Megan is criticised for the most pathetic ever “crimes” going to her mothers for Christmas or not having a more public christening and Andrew knowingly socialises with paedophiles and has serious credible accusations made against him but is let if the hook!!? Misogyny is alive and well

@rookie I would guess he doesn't want his daughters to know he was having sex with a teenager.

Sunset I suspect the whole family know exactly what sort of man he is - it seems it would be rather hard not to. I doubt they'd be that surprised given the photo and stories have been doing the rounds for a few years now.

Interested in this thread?

He hasn't denied the sex with young girls, has he? He hasn't said ' I have only had relationship s with consenting adults'. He just said he doesn't remember that one.
My hope is that Charles will completely cut him off when he comes to power.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 16/11/2019 19:47

If they know what he's like why is Fergie gushing on about how absolutely wonderful he is and why do his daughters want to be seen with him? He's a disgusting reptile.

I hardly think Charles with his dubious friendship with Jimmy Saville is much better.

A tempting idea perhaps, but not without risk. If we agree - and apparently many do - that this family are prepared to throw "someone else" to the wolves to protect themselves, who knows what Andrew might have to say about his older brother (whose record, let's not forget, is hardly pristine)

Kinraddie · 16/11/2019 20:03

I don't believe him at all. I believe Virginie.

NoFun21 · 16/11/2019 20:05

Disgraceful.

........
The girl in question, if you mean the one in the photograph with him at Ghislane Maxwell's house, would have been 19 in 2001, not underage.

If he did testify in court under oath, I doubt he'd say anything he hasn't already said. He hasn't committed a crime that we know of.

I doubt Charles will blank him, he is very close to his siblings and nieces and nephews.

I don’t think there is a lot of love lost between Charles and Andrew.
Till William was born; Andrew was second in line to the throne for a good 20 years.
Apparently Charles said of Andrew; he wishes he was me.
He’s said to be the Queen’s favourite son. Once she’s passed, perhaps then he will be sidelined.

He had sex with the girl in the photo more than once. She was boy the only girl he had sex with in the company of Epstein and others. The issue is that she was instructed to have sex with him as on previous occasions. She was moved around to have sex with men who knew Epstein. She was groomed and abused as a young woman by JE and GM. Whilst the law may be in a grey area, morally he is bankrupt. PA then continues to have a close relationship with JE after he is accused and charged of crimes against minors. Listen to her testimony and that of other young women.
If PA is friends with a person like JE they are likely to share similar tastes. PA is trying to keep a lid on things but I believe being in a photo with a 19 year old is the least of worries

SunsetBoulevard3 · 16/11/2019 21:00

I thought the girl was 17?

Watching. So far downplaying the friendship.

BBC are doing live coverage of the interview as it happens. The news covering the news ...live. jaysus

Downplaying Randy Andy and partyingGrin

Wrong emoji

minou123 · 16/11/2019 21:13

Oh, denying Epstein was a close friend, interesting.

Although, talking out both sounds of his mouth. On one hand, not close friend, yet visited/ went to house of Epstein 2/3 times a year in USA.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 16/11/2019 21:15

Unbelievable that he is bringing up the NSPCC.

MadnessInMethod · 16/11/2019 21:15

Outrageous that he's got the nerve to talk about the NSPCC

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 16/11/2019 21:16

Good questions from Emily.
Totally throwing Ghislaine Maxwell under the bus.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 16/11/2019 21:17

Did he actually refer to the NSPCC? I missed that.

minou123 · 16/11/2019 21:18

Ok, I'm not buying what he's selling!

The look of pure disgust when Emily said it was a birthday party and he said "No, a shooting party".
Yeah mate, the type of party is not the detail we are concerned about Confused

Span1elsRock · 16/11/2019 21:18

God he's a complete slimeball, isn't he?

Those poor girls having to deal with these men Sad

QueenOfTheAndals · 16/11/2019 21:18

So basically his defence is "I'm a complete and utter moron"?
