So you think the reason he's not explicitly denying this relatively minor crime is because this performance distracts attention from something bigger?
It does seem as if some person or persons is doing a pretty good job of protecting Ghislaine, how many other backs are they covering

What is the story with Ghislaine?
Are law enforcement actively seeking her and she is refusing to present herself?

Interested in this thread?

It's weird isn't it...there's just no sign of her at all🔎

SirHumphreyDrinkalot · 21/11/2019 23:15

Is she wearing concrete shoes?

ColonelCathcart · 21/11/2019 23:29

Hasn’t she not been seen in public since 2016 or something? I think she knew what was coming.

RhinoskinhaveI · 21/11/2019 23:34

I don't know about the concrete but weighing it up ...who has an interest in keeping her alive vs who has an interest in her not being alive?

There were reports that G Maxwell and Epstein were connected to Israeli Intelligence. Indeed, that Epstein worked for Mossad. I have no ideas if these are founded. But for Andrew, with all his trips to the Middle East, having friends in Mossad who can blackmail him takes this into the world of espionage. Far fetched perhaps..

Roussette · 21/11/2019 23:40

There was a recent photo of Ghislaine, since proven to be fake. That woman has some questions to be answered.

AnyMinuteNow · 22/11/2019 00:34

Hes only withdrawn so as not to derail the GE. Hmm

WTAF!

AnyMinuteNow · 22/11/2019 00:35

Maybe GM has had a changeover

JaimeBronde · 22/11/2019 00:36

@Packingsoapandwater I'm beginning to wonder too.
Epstein & Andrew together?
Andrew a spy?
Both of them working for secret services?
Stranger things have happened.

FromEden · 22/11/2019 01:04

According to one of the blind gossip sites, a close relative of Andrew's was among Epsteins victims. How bad would it look if it came out that Andrew continued to associate with him after that?

7Days · 22/11/2019 01:11

But is GM an official person of interest. Do the FBI or whoever actively want to speak to her?
It feels there are roots and tangles everywhere.

Roussette

On the Shaun Atwood Youtube channel he uses the word, "suicided" to describe what happened to Epstein.

Re Princess Margaret - I wouldn't like to guess what went on on her island but I heard a few years ago that she would book her flights with BA in cattle class and BA would then upgrade her and her friends to first.

Kinsters · 22/11/2019 05:40

Andrew is definitely lying in that interview but its impossible to tell whether its because he was involved, aware but not involved or whether he just has no clue.

When I watched the video he came across exactly the same as a colleague I've had many conversations with about their conduct (only minor things, nothing as big as this). She is so incredibly arrogant that she'll make up anything that she thinks you want to hear/that will "save her skin" (even if its such a minor issue that there's no skin to save, if that makes sense).

The MO is clear as day: deny, deny, deny, act like the questioner is stupid for asking the question, plough on even when what you're saying makes no sense and in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary of what you're saying. He's an arrogant and untrustworthy man who cares only for himself and has no moral compass. Is he a philandering paedophile? Imo, quite possibly but I don't expect we'll ever know (and even if the evidence is overwhelming he'll still deny it).

WineOrGinOrBoth · 22/11/2019 07:27

The rumours for 30odd years are that Andrew is gay. Maybe there are videos of him & another man. Maybe thats why he agreed to the interview. He wouldn’t be able to visit a fair few countries, especially Middle East if he was openly gay. Just my tuppence worth.

Roussette · 22/11/2019 07:34

sashh That just about sums it up doesn't it... 'suicided'

I wonder if PA , although he's stepped down, thinks it'll just be for a few months and it will all blow over but this is in the press today..

'The prince will not return to royal duties until the victims of Jeffrey Epstein have reached a legal conclusion and until he has been cleared of any wrongdoing.'

He might be waiting a long time then...

He has been forced by BP to sack his closest adviser, she was the one to arrange the Newsnight interview. And BP forced him to pull out of Bahrain too. He never really got this 'stepping back from the public eye' bit did he??

Why was Sarah Ferguson grinning and being all jolly when she was driven to Buckingham Palace? It didn't come across well, like it's all just a bit ridiculous for them. She seems a bit mad tbh. Will her daughters be negatively affected by this media storm?

ajandjjmum · 22/11/2019 08:12

I can't believe that he's just trying to hide the fact he's gay - there would be nothing wrong with that, unless he's not been honest with his family.

There have been rumours for some time about PP's relationship with his carriage driving partner, Penny Romsey. Not an ounce of proof or truth as far as I am aware.

Roussette · 22/11/2019 08:14

That is what Sarah Ferguson does. All haha, what a wheeze, I'll stand by my meal ticket giant of a principled man. She has no filter, no finger on the pulse, nothing.

I feel a bit sorry for the daughter getting married to the posh Italian next year. It will have to be seriously scaled back and if they've got any sense they'll hold it on some private italian island somewhere as opposed to London.

But that family don't have much sense do they?

BertrandRussell · 22/11/2019 08:15

I thought it was Edward who was rumoured to be gay?

LittleSweet · 22/11/2019 08:18

I read that PA gets 2% of the investments to Pitch@Palace.

noodlenosefraggle · 22/11/2019 08:19

I thought it was Edward too. Convenient that these rumours are resurfacing now 'I'm not even attracted to women...'
