Why have mumsnet closed down the Prince Andrew threads?

[Happysummer2020]

Genuine question

There are still loads of threads up about him.

I don't know if some threads have been pulled but there are probably limits legally about what can be said about him and if a thread is likely to get Mumsnet in trouble they would need to take it down.

My link didn't work, it was a link to what you find when you search for Prince Andrew, there are dozens of threads still there.

Prince Andrew Part 2 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3747783-Prince-Andrew-Part-2

Prince Andrew part 2 still going strong, there's also an active one called Prince Andrew let the side down in feminist chat. There's more of you search too.

Hmm but when I tried to respond to respond to those threads I got a message that they were 'closed down'.

They are open again now

I asked for mine to be deleted as it was a duplicate.

I think mnhq have been very generous in our covering of this breaking news 👍
