Regarding the Daily Mail, Journalist Sonia Poulton commented they can be surprisingly anti-establishment at times and gave examples on a recent podcast.
As to why the gloves are off now, perhaps they want to crank up the pressure for PA to be interviewed by the FBI in the quest for even juicer stories.

I know the press sit on the stories for years u TIL the time is right.
Did the press ever forgive PA for spraying journalists and their expensive equipment with paint..walking away saying I enjoyed that.

Who knows

The mills of god and all that

SerendipityJane · 21/11/2019 15:55

I didn't think the daily Mail would be that interested in a sleazy bloke exploiting women. After all

That is their core demographic ...

DianaT1969 · 21/11/2019 15:57

Gosh, I didn't know about Laurens van de Post. Just googled. A godfather of Charles who worked with Lord Mountbatten after the war and who got a 14-year-old girl pregnant when he was in his 40s.

HiHoToffee · 21/11/2019 15:58

If we had a president we could end up with anyone. Look at Trump, Nixon, Thatcher or Boris

They were all voted in, they aren't above the law and have a limited time in power.
Birth right has nothing to do with it.

ajandjjmum · 21/11/2019 15:59

Maybe they're being hard on Andrew, so that can stand up in Court and say 'what's Meghan talking about, we went really easy on her'?!!

DianaT1969 · 21/11/2019 16:00

And the host of It's a Knockout, Stuart Hall, convicted paedophile.

SirHumphreyDrinkalot · 21/11/2019 16:00

PA
Philip
Prince of Wales (Edward VIII) and the Duke of Kent (his brother) were cokehead socialites
Prince of Wales (Edward VII) google his sex chair
Prince Regent (George IV) and all his shenanigans
Ad infinitum

They won’t change.

Even Jeremy Corbyn would have his own personal jam maker if he had all that money.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 21/11/2019 16:09

My NDN told me one of her friends had an affair with PP back in the day. They are similar age and her friend was a WREN so I can well believe it.

Roussette · 21/11/2019 16:14

Dowser Yes I remember now, it was Prince Edward! Amazingly, he is totally low profile now and his wife comes across as lovely.

Dowser · 21/11/2019 16:15

For our younger mums who might not have been around then
All jolly japes
Was anyone having more fun that Stuart Hall...well apart from Fergie that it

CardiFree · 21/11/2019 16:17

I remember "randy Andy" as a familiar epithet while I was growing up in the 80s. What was that based on?

The man gives me the creeps as does his brother, or any other 'friend' of Jimmy Saville.

Megs you're best off out of it this Christmas Wine.

Dard · 21/11/2019 16:19

Donald Trump,Clinton,Prince Andrew all in it look at Kevin Spacey's last instagram post very strange but they all were involved with Epstein

SerendipityJane · 21/11/2019 16:22

Prince of Wales (Edward VIII)

was a Nazi sympathiser and had to be kept under close MI5 watch. There's an interesting discussion to be had about how much his talks with Hitler led to Poland being invaded on the grounds the Duke of Windsor had said Britain wouldn't respond. For a party allegedly born of the Arayan stock, the Nazis had a weird fascination with the British class system. One day, when sensibilities subside, there's comedy gold in a series about "Ribbentrop: The UK years".

I've only just remember the Queens "Nazi salute" scandal a few years back.

(Not waving ... saluting ... .Hmm )

CardiFree · 21/11/2019 16:24

Well they're essentially German ...

SerendipityJane · 21/11/2019 16:26

Don't Google "Koo Stark".

JaimeBronde · 21/11/2019 16:27

Remember Andrew's relationship with Koo Stark in the very early 80s & all the hoo-ha that caused in the press?
Apparently he wanted to marry her but the press was frothing because Koo had appeared topless in a movie & so wasn't the right sort to be a future princess (as the Queen was advised at the time).........which is an absolutely ridiculous way of thinking.

Pot kettle black springs to mind considering all the royal shenanigans we now know about.

JaimeBronde · 21/11/2019 16:28

Dard · 21/11/2019 16:38

Ferguson took money from Epstein

Roussette · 21/11/2019 16:48

Yes, she did. She has paid back the nominal sum. However Epstein also managed her huge debts of £15M or whatever it was, by facilitating help.

Childlaw2014 · 21/11/2019 17:20

I also feel something has emerged of pa and it can't be verified or released...

Perhaps it's in the sealed legal documents?

Windygate · 21/11/2019 17:34

I wonder how much 'bad news' is being buried by the establishment, political parties, civil servants etc whilst the press are pursuing PA?

JaimeBronde · 21/11/2019 17:40

As @Roussette posted earlier it's hardly coincidental that Andrew's statement was released just as it became common knowledge that Epstein had hidden cameras all over his mansion.
