Ghislaine Maxwell's 'secret' husband turned out to Prince Andrew?

OMG!! That WOULD make me laugh. But, if it is, it has a sense of logic in it for him. A wife cannot testify against a husband can she?

Haha I didn’t see that coming Grin Nice one OP.

Can’t even imagine!

nancy75 · 17/07/2020 18:54

I’ve been saying the very same thing!

CigarsofthePharoahs · 17/07/2020 18:55

Don't give him ideas!

fortheloveofcrisps · 17/07/2020 19:11

That was my first thought too!

MargaretHooper · 17/07/2020 19:14

A wife can't be forced to testify against her husband - not that she can't. But - not sure what the position is under American law?

DrDavidBanner · 17/07/2020 19:16

After the year we've had this would not supirise me in the least!

kevinbacone · 17/07/2020 19:19

@nancy75 great minds think alike.

If I was writing this all as a film in the 1970's disaster movie style I feel like it would make for a quite compelling sub-plot.

@MargaretHooper In America, a spouse can only testify if they choose to do so. They are not compelled to by law.

I can’t imagine that PA is GM’s type exactly

TheHighestSardine · 17/07/2020 20:50

Not sweaty enough Cheezy?

Peterbishopssarcasticsmile · 17/07/2020 20:51

I so want this to be true

kevinbacone · 17/07/2020 21:10

@cheezy I reckon she'd overlook any of his less savoury traits if he kept her in the manner to which she's become accustomed. Wonder what Fergie would say?!

OMG original poster! Possibly a nice cliff hanger for the movie rights!

I understand one is best served on hand and foot by those pre scened and selected according to age?

Does she partake in dough balls a la Pizza Express. I always only remember nothing but my supper excursions at Pizza Express even after decades. Everything else pales into distance memory.

Caveat - humour alert and for fictional movie purposes only!

ComDummings · 17/07/2020 21:25

I never thought of that, it would be an amazing twist.

ResIpsaLoquiturInterAlia · 17/07/2020 21:31

@ComDummings

Possibly also had a spouse birthday lockdown detour to a beauty spot for some flower therapy whist Covided and testing eye sight to see if one safely with family in tow drive cross country without bumping into cars or pesky locals with snap happy smartphones etc.

MargaretHooper · 17/07/2020 21:31

@RedDiamond - ah, so it's the same as here.

kevinbacone · 17/07/2020 21:39

I didn't know anything about the legal aspects.m, just figured that it would be handy as they'd protect one another by omission. It actually seems all the more likely if it would mean that they had some legal way of protecting one another. Starting to wonder if it's really true now
