Has anyone mentioned the email? Sent by Andrew in 2015, naming Virginia Roberts, whoi at that time was known to the courts as Jane Doe?

You think GM is dead??? Shock

Well that's a bloody good cover up! She'd be listed as a missing person first surely, andthat couldn't be kept away from all the papers.

They are truly above the law, aren't they?

In theory no (except the Queen), but in practice yes they certainly are Hmm

Interested in this thread?

I think we covered the email in the last thread, sashh

It was mentioned in the Panorama documentary but it's infuriatingly imprecise and open to interpretation. Guess even PA isn't dim enough to commit too much to a trail we can but hope though.

Now we mustn’t be defeatist lol
The French managed it and the Russians and all it took was people power.

I’m not saying chop off their heads or shoot them all...but certainly an open investigation into their finances and how to stop the rot I reckon is something they all owe ipad.
PA should be made to pay back all the money wasted on flights when he could’ve driven the few miles.

I think the ski chalet is going to have to go sunny jim.

Dowser · 11/12/2019 08:40

That’s been my concern..good for her for speaking up

I would think that once this election is over there will be a lot more to come out that will the Palace will hope too bury over xmas so as not to distract from the election
If he has nothing to hide he should be flying economy to the US to help with any enquiries

Verily1 · 11/12/2019 09:35

It think an over 25yo having sex with an under 18 should be criminalised.

They are legally still children and although can consent to peers they are too young to spot coercision until it’s too late.

betaboo · 11/12/2019 12:04

Gosh, VR must be feeling scared that she will be 'suicided'.

LittleSweet · 11/12/2019 18:43

I'm not surprised she's scared. I want to know what happened to JE as on a programme I watched someone said screaming was heard from his cell just before he was found dead. Is that true? Also she's very small compared to all these rich people she's accusing. Where's GM?

AnyMinuteNow · 11/12/2019 22:26

From what I've just been reading Verily sex is being replaced with gender and never mind 18 year old old and over 25s, it won't be tolerated to sex-name someone over their 'gender'. Which means if you say you are a woman and thats recognised innlaw, there can no longer be such a thing as rape.

You think I'm joking, well I wish I was as some of what I've just been reading is going to open all these behaviours to the young and descriminalise them.

Thats very scarey indeed Shock

PrettyPurpleFeather · 14/12/2019 12:08

Bump. I've been enjoying the discussions so will be upset if it dried up

betaboo · 14/12/2019 12:20

Looks like the DM are doing their best to unravel his associations with all sorts of people and the secret businesses he has set up. I do hope they get to the bottom of all his shady business deals and buddies.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 14/12/2019 12:26

It's curious that no one else is reporting this. It's a big story.

I'll be watching the Queen on Christmas Day. That's a tough gig for her, and if she gets it wrong, will be an amazing finale for the Crown series.

hoteltango · 14/12/2019 16:57

On the occasions that the Daily Mail actually does some investigative journalism, it can do it very well.

This article:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7792117/Prince-Andrew-pictured-riding-Windsor-revealed-used-pseudonym-set-secret-firm.html - more digging into Andrew's financial affairs. But for those who don't want to click on a DM link, the main headlines are:

  • Prince was photographed on a yacht off Thailand in 2001 with topless women
  • He was visiting Phuket on a Christmas trip organised by tycoon Johan Eliasch
  • In 2002 he set company up with him and disguised his name: "Andrew Inverness"

And this bit of "gossip":
www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7791315/EDEN-CONFIDENTIAL-Prince-Andrew-no-Grenadier-Guards-glittering-annual-dinner.html

Andrew didn't turn up to the dinner, at which he would have been expected as he's their Colonel in Chief - just two years after he took over from Philip.

Redpriestandmozart · 14/12/2019 17:08

I have never followed anything like this before, always knew he was referred to as randy andy all those years ago. I don't know who linked the Shaun Attwood on youtube back in the first thread but I have been watching in videos daily. There is so much dirt on PA and everyone surrounding him, it goes much further than the RF.

billy1966 · 14/12/2019 17:55

Clearly PA is a complete sleezebag tosspot.

However, I admired the Queen.

I believe the whole RF are hugely damaged by this, in particular, the knowledge that they are all so supportive of PA.

He is absolute scum IMO and that they are so supportive of such a complete lack of decency and morality, reflects very poorly on them, including the Queen.

WineOrGinOrBoth · 14/12/2019 18:17

Just because PA has said they are supportive doesn’t mean they actually are. I have a feeling that it’s more likely they are furious.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 15/12/2019 16:19

"Supportive" RF might just mean "they have't locked me in the tower yet"

feesh · 15/12/2019 16:38

If you want to have your eyes opened to what the Queen is really like, watch the interview she did a year or two ago with David Attenborough. I was quite shocked at how utterly out of touch she was and how little she seemed to care about normal people. It was an eye-opener. I can well imagine her being totally in denial about these “silly” allegations against her son.

CathyorClaire · 15/12/2019 21:11

Brenda is totally in denial about public feeling towards her favourite son.

See the 'fuck you' nag riding in Windsor in full and deliberate view of the paps shortly after prinny's car crash interview.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 16/12/2019 05:49

Actually I do believe what he says about the wider family being very supportive. It was really the only thing he said that struck me as true.
I agree that the Queen is out of touch. I just don’t think she is prepared to countenance the possibility that her favourite son is such a waste of space. I also think they all think they are special and above the law. Which they probably are, sadly.

applecatchers36 · 17/12/2019 22:22

Shock Brenda is out of touch, continuing a theme from Aberfan ( very delayed response had to be told to visit days late), Diana's death ( ditto), her son is a nasty predatory sexual abusive perpetrator against vulnerable young women ( show solidarity with him as favourite son)

GrimDamnFanjo · 18/12/2019 02:04

I don't know whether it's been mentioned yet but I've just read "And What Do You Do?" Written by a former MP a systematic takedown of the Royal Family.
I was astonished at some of the things I read.
It is very recent and made me smile as there's a chapter on Andrew which ends saying he should be booted out...
