And his brother was friends with Epstein- barf. How come they still have followers?

Not to mention good old Uncle Dicky "The Nonce" Mountbatten .

Some people commetning they were not best friends- what, Charles considered JS to be godfather to his children and he had free acess to the Buckingham Palace, no questions asked. There are more than enough photos of Charles and Js hanging out together etc.

Some british people truly lack morals to follow and celebrate people like this

Oh come on, were they really best friends?! They probably met a handful of times. I'm sure we all know people who are pedophiles and we are blissfully unaware. I worked with a bloke for years who was later arrested for abusing children. I never liked the man but had no idea he could do something so vile. I spent years being friendly to him because I had to work with him. Obviously I wouldn't have been nice to him if I knew who he really was!

Utterly wrong
Charles helped Saville as being so close to the 'royals' meant he was protected.
Lots of people knew about Saville and tried to out him. Didn't one of the sex pistols out Saville on live tv BBC ? Nothing was done

Also Charles defended Peter Ball
His mentor and uncle , Mountabtten was a known pedophike. Court case in Belfast getting v little publicity
Educate yourself

Yup. When you have a monarchy, you are explicitly being ok with whoever is next in the bloodline, be they a Nazi, someone who is friends with an underage girl trafficker, etc. You are ok with having absolutely no say in this if you are a monarchist.

But this just isn't true. Until very recently, a Catholic could not become king. Someone who married an American divorcee was not acceptable as king. In a constitutional monarchy, it's always possible to reject candidates for the monarch. There is no shortage of potential heirs.

Anyway....this thread is shite 💩

I'm off to join a nice coronation thread 🇬🇧

LONG LIVE THE KING 👑

People don't want educating about the royals, they prefer calling people who aren't sycophants idiots or conspirators. Saves them facing the truth.

Theunamedcat · 06/05/2023 08:20

Guarantee you know someone that way inclined in real life OP they just haven't been caught yet

Saville wasn't in his lifetime and (just playing devil's advocate here) how do we even know he is guilty? He is dead anyone could say anything and no one can prove otherwise he could be a convenient scapegoat 🤷‍♀️

Playing devils advocate are you ?

You'd make friends with some royalists on this site . They make similar excuses about Andrew

Gosh, I wonder why Noel Gallagher and Adrian Chiles are coming up as similar threads to this one? Is there something we should know???!!!! (I don't really think there is, just want to poke fun at the useless algorithm they still haven't fixed.)

Oh wow, thanks for pointing that out , I am now (like the PPs on that thread) also surprised to discover Adrian Chiles is married to Katharine Viner!

CarinaBee · 06/05/2023 08:39

the naivity on here.

OP is absolutely right - Savile had access to the Palace and a simple google search will lead you to credible (because most people will only accept a truth if it is printed by the BBC et al) articles detailing how Charles stayed with Savile at his very remote Glen Coe home. Numerous friendly letter exchanged. And yes, he wanted Savile to be Harry’s godfather.

Has the penny really not dropped for people? Do you only skim read? The Epstein saga was shown to be a blackmail operation. A series of people exercising power by virtue of being ‘compromised’ by these appalling crimes. Virginia Guiffre etc are the tip of the iceberg and the true activity will never see the light of day. Epstein transferred Maxwell £30m - what do you suspect you have to do for someone to earn a payment like that. The filth artwork on the walls, the young girls walking around, do some fucking research. Andrew knew. Everyone knew.

and back to Charles - we’re lead to believe that the Royal Family have the best security, you cannot penetrate the British intelligence protection services. And now everyone comes out of the woodwork saying “everyone knew” about Saville. Use the brain you were born with to join the dots. Savile was no different from Epstein. The man had access to the jail cells of people so mentally unwell at Broadmoor that they didn’t know who they were. Keys to morgues. Think, people 😂 he wasn’t a ‘lone’ predator.

Wrong again .
A catholic cannot be monarch .

So no , it hadn't been reformed

I can't see how else he'd get his strange little Guardian column.

MusterMark · 06/05/2023 08:43

@Novella4 Fair enough, I thought it had been changed. But that just goes to prove my point that we don't accept whoever is next in line. Also not sure how I can be "Wrong again" with my first post on this thread!

Novella4 · 06/05/2023 08:45

Sorry @ mustermark- i didn't mean you as an individual were wrong again .
I have seen so much wilful ignorance on this thread
I was just flabbergasted

This is only an issue if Charles knew he was a peadophile and that’s very doubtful. Your approach is if someone you know is found to be a paedo, and even though you’d no idea, you should be scorned.

im not with you on that.

StepAwayFromGoogling · 06/05/2023 08:48

My best friend at work for about 5 years turned out to be a paedophile. I - obviously - had no idea. But according to this thread no good things should ever happen to me because I didn't know through psychic intuition?

Novella4 · 06/05/2023 08:49

That's been Charles excuse every thing
'He didnt know '

After Peter Balls guilt and Charles gave him a house , Charles told an inquiry'he didn't know'

Novella4 · 06/05/2023 08:50

@StepAwayFromGoogling

Do you have M15 and an entire police protection unit sussing people out ?

Novella4 · 06/05/2023 08:51

Diana knew

But Charles was ignorant .,.
A whole string of them , including his own brother

But make an excuse for Charles

Oh, for goodness sake, don't be facetious. Paedophiles are masters of manipulation. Everyone loved Saville. He fooled everyone.

zen1 · 06/05/2023 08:54

I don’t buy that he or those around him didn’t at least know of the allegations. People had been making complaints for years which were hushed up or dismissed by those in authority. But regardless of whether he did or didn’t ‘know’, why was a celeb allowed to have such influence that he was advising the royals (as per the Guardian article up thread)? God knows what we still don’t know about the torrid dealings of the Royal Family.
