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…

Also interesting you’re assuming I’m a woman @complexdebate 😊

Your previous threads certainly say so.
Or you need a hormone check, pronto.

Thats a v uncomfortable watch.
It’s extremely inappropriate.
It would be assault imo in, for example, a work setting. It would take a lot of explaining away.

Interested in this thread?

Does being a wife and mother mean he couldn’t have done it to her @PleaseGoDontGoAgain ?

The man’s a sleezeball, but this was his daughter and they were looking at tributes to his dead mother. Don’t make something out of nothing.

What relevance does that hold that it's his daughter?

It happens all the time in families (silly point).

Be blind if you want to.

I can't believe how many people are defending this sleazeball. No wonder women struggle to report assault and inappropriate behaviour, they are being gaslit by other women telling them they are seeing things!

Mamamia7962 · 12/09/2022 22:56

OP - That slow motion video has been doctored or can't you see that.

Goldenboysmum · 12/09/2022 22:57

I wonder if that had been Prince Edward with his daughter would the same accusations be getting thrown about!

No-one's defending him because there's nothing to defend.

A sleazeball has slowed down a video to almost frame by frame, to make it look as though something occurred that didn't, and then put it on Twitter.

My work here is done! People are debating the video and @complexdebate is seething (bonus!)

MrsRhodes · 12/09/2022 23:01

I have reported this thread.

The video has been slowed right down to make it look like something happened (which it didn't).

Do you really think this is appropriate line of discussion right now?

Wow. You're really trying.

She got arse fingered by her horny dad but didn't do anything except cry for her dead gran, in front of a crowd and the whole world saw it.

Just wow.

WhatHoJeeves · 12/09/2022 23:02

Reported this garbage. Horrible.

NippyWoowoo · 12/09/2022 23:02

Thought this was going to be about the man shouting at him on the Royal Mile Grin

IdiotCreatures · 12/09/2022 23:03

Would someone be able to post the nine controversial version?
As the video I watched shocked me .

Mamamia7962 · 12/09/2022 23:03

I've seen the other clips as well, and there is definitely no groping.

IdiotCreatures · 12/09/2022 23:04

None!!! Bloody autocorrect!

MadeWithCare · 12/09/2022 23:04

The one I saw that had the full footage at full speed is on Newsweek. Surely that's not doctored? Lots of the news sites have cut it off early.

Rosiestraws · 12/09/2022 23:04

FFS PEOPLE!!!

OK everyone going back and forth over which video everyone's seen, these are the two I have seen:

1: what I saw live on TV

www.newsweek.com/prince-andrew-interaction-princess-eugenie-raises-eyebrows-online-1741984

2: clearly doctored

twitter.com/RaggedTP/status/1569100584564695042

You can see that the second has been doctored. You can draw your own conclusions as to if 1) is bad enough but I personally agree with the posters saying he was comforting her, then bent down and assumed she was bending down too to look at the flowers but then when she didn't and he realised where his hand was he moved it.

He's done many bad things but I don't believe groping his daughter in front of the world's media is one of them 🙄🙄
