Why is no one on here talking about that Prince Andrew video?

Or have I missed it? Maybe it’s being discussed in code to prevent the thread from being axed?

the one of him and Eugenie looking at the flowers and tributes - looks like it’s from the Aussie 7news channel…

What happened of note?

cactusjackie · 12/09/2022 21:44

I'm no fan of Andrew but is he really likely to feel up his own daughter in front of the worlds press while looking at floral tributes for his very recently deceased mother? I think more is being made of this because it's him.

I saw that footage and it is creepy. His hand definitely seems to brush all the way down to her bum which is very unnecessary.

I was, and then it all got deleted.

And yes, men like him rely on people denying what they see. Happened to me all my childhood. My grandad groped me at a funeral and had all the same comments that I must have been mistaken, surely he wouldn’t, blah blah head in sand blah.

Biden has done this in plain sight for decades. Creepy as hell. No one cares.

JustMaggie · 12/09/2022 21:48

I saw it and it definitely looked like he groped his daughter. It made me wonder if he does this in public what happens behind closed doors?

Has he?!

Indoctro · 12/09/2022 21:49

He is a creep. Video looks dodgy to me. But it will be dismissed, I do feel very sorry for his daughter. I hope she doesn't see it.

We don't talk about Andrew, no no. We don't talk about Andrew🤫

Chattycathydoll · 12/09/2022 21:51

The whole thing has been incredibly triggering, I’m glad people are talking about it now because the silence and denial was even more triggering. Other people see it too 😭

I saw video on Twitter. ParodyLizTruss is really tearing into PA. To be honest, I'll probably stop following PLT. Hohum, PA could just be a clumsy oaf. People are determined to believe PA is a bad 'un while for me the evidence that he's a pervert is not compelling. Is the obsessive vilification of PA just a way of being indirectly anti-monarchist? I think that's all I have learned here.

Notplayingball · 12/09/2022 21:52

Thread will be going poof! any minute now.....

MeridasMum · 12/09/2022 21:54

Is there a link to the video?

PleaseGoDontGoAgain · 12/09/2022 21:54

He was in front of a crowd, well aware of the feelings and cameras out there and his Mums just died, you really think he was horny and copping a feel of his own daughter rather than stressed out and trying to reassure?

Desperately seeking rabble and pitchforks is a desperate look.

Just a clumsy oaf, nothing to see here 🙃

@SmallPrawnEnergy oh get a grip I'm not defending him, my opening line was literally 'I'm no fan of Andrew.'

I've seen the footage, they were embracing (she was hugging him) and he bent down to look at something. He moved his hand down her back and arse. Absolutely no 'fingering of cracks' (nice choice of words).

I agree it doesn't look good but if it were another member of the royal family I doubt we'd have even noticed. I don't like the man but this is a non issue. Do people really think he's likely to assault his daughter in front of the worlds press?

InGodweTruss · 12/09/2022 21:57

The boot lickers are here, I see.

Imagine seeing that video and defending him.

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 12/09/2022 21:58

I haven't seen the snippet but I watched in real time where he was consoling his daughter and that's literally all that happened. Some people are crazy. Ffs

Why?!

lljkk · 12/09/2022 21:59

At least I said where to find the video, I don't care what people think of PA, I just don't want to listen to them obsessing about it.

AgnestaVipers · 12/09/2022 22:00

scissorsandsellotape · 12/09/2022 21:49

Has he?!

UseHerName · 12/09/2022 22:01

It’s on Twitter - I won’t link it as I don’t want the thread to be deleted

7news was filming from the right and others I’ve seen from the left - the one on the right is far more damaging than the one on the left and some papers/news channels have cut the video short or the banner obscures it

The slightest hint of controversy and every thread does. Have lost count now how many go poof! when I come back to refresh the page...

Ain't that the truth.
I saw it live too. She was clearly upset, he hugged her, she hugged him.
Anybody inventing anything else is the sicko round here.
