To feel that the whole Megxit affair is a ruse to cover the Andrew/Epstein scandal

[Kishkashta]

I cannot help but have these thoughts every time another Meghan-Harry twist is revealed.

It is just that both sides behave very childishly with some kind of public civil war via the tabloids so it almost seems orchestrated and like some make believe war.

Where as the Epstein/Andrew story is straight up criminal sexual abuse case which we don't hear much about in the press, strangely enough.

In short my theory is that Megxit is fabricated to displace Prince Andrew from public eye.

AIBU?

If you want to read about Epstein, make sure you click on every news item (the more response an item gets, the more prominent the coverage becomes)

Also consider re-animating one of the dozen or more Prince Andrew threads on MN. If enough people agree with you, and want to talk about it, the thread will stay in 'active'

You don't say why you think the Sussexes would cooperate in this alleged plot, because the major timings have been in their hands so in your scenario they have to be very much in with the Palace. How does that pan out, as it conflicts with so much else they have said and done?

I hope the aim of this thread is not to repeat some of the very worst (surely invented) scandal which can be found in some corners of the internet. Because I suppose that might answer the question in my first post.

But I think that's dead wrong, designed to discredit only, and am dubious about referring to it even thus obliquely

No, I don't believe it's orchestrated. Harry and Meghan are unlikely to do anything that doesn't serve their own self-interest, it's ludicrous to suggest they would agree to make themselves look as bad as they currently do to help out a family member.

YABU
