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

Celebs advise people all the time. I am no fan of Charles but trying to suggest that he knew Saville was a paedo and willingly allowed him access to his family is sick.

HoldingTheDoor · 06/05/2023 09:01

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

Not John Lydon. If he knew in 1978 others knew.

Oh come on, were they really best friends?

Yes, according to Diana.

Oh well, clearly true then.
Does anyone actually believe that a high ranking member of The Royal Family would be bezzie mates with some bloke from Leeds?

By that logic the BBC should have been shut down off our screens a long time ago then.....

Correct. The BBC is a bloody disgrace.

Haha brilliant, a beacon of truth just like her spoilt brat of a son.

Why pretend Charles and Saville weren't close friends? Why deny the truth? Everyone certainly did not love Saville. Everyone wasn't taken in by him, much less be friends and visit often. A bit like Andrew visiting epstein in new york once he knew what he was doing...as it was easier to stay there for a few days, new york being short of hotels and such....

Love the royal family all you want but if you want to stay in denial dont insult the rest of us.

OP, the Royal family will never be abolished because it is the most successful brain washing cult ever to have been created. The British people , and others around the world love the deference for some strange reason. Perhaps it’s because it’s all they know sadly. No amount of dodgy dealings will ever convince people to give up their deference to a bunch of overpaid plonkers in crowns.

kethuphouse · 06/05/2023 09:13

If a persons family members were long term friends with a prolific paedophile, refused to pay inheritance tax, took suitcase money from the Middle East, lived off the proceeds of slavery, the cap doffers would despise them. But the royals are forgiven for it all, and admired with bunting and cakes to celebrate them, it’s embarrassing,

icanneverthinkofnc · 06/05/2023 09:15

According to work tin foil hatter the reason H has all his problems is due csa from the royal abuse ring and when he met megs she made him realise its not normal and said she will not allow her children to be routinely abused and thats why H is 'concerned' about Ws kids..and its all coming out..

Diana knew

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

But make an excuse for Charles

If Diana knew why didn't she do something about Saville?
I can't think of any excuse for not doing something?

Comedycook · 06/05/2023 09:16

Yanbu.

Dreadful bunch....morals of alleycats but that's being unfair to alleycats.

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

That's because you're ace and clever and everyone else is a stupid peasant.

AnnunciataZ · 06/05/2023 09:18

I actually do believe Diana when she said they were friends. Didn't Charles ask JS to serve as some sort of marriage counsellor when they were having problems? Allegedly nobody knew about his paedo activities but even so, he was a very strange man and extremely creepy. Hardly the best choice to speak to a vulnerable young woman about her relationship troubles!

@MusterMark

Wrong again .
A catholic cannot be monarch .

So no , it hadn't been reformed

Gordon Brown tried to change this but was blocked. Anyone of any religion can sit on the throne or be the consort of the monarch.

Anyone, except a Catholic, that is.

Discrimination alive and well, the fuckers.

Anyway....this thread is shite 💩

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

LONG LIVE THE KING 👑

😂

Yes, do go shovel some Victoria sponge into your mouth while pledging allegiance to your ‘king’. Don’t forget to continue to moan about inequality and the NHS and the cost of living, because the royals existence perpetuates the class system and historically , is part of the reason why most of us are kept in our place , financially and in terms of social mobility . Educate yourself please before you tell people to F off. Enjoy your bunting though won’t you .

LBFseBrom · 06/05/2023 09:46

"Best friend", bollocks!

Friendly, yes. Has nobody here ever been loosely friendly, and liked, someone to later find out they'd been up to no good? If you haven't, you will.

J Saville cultivated 'friendships' with many people in high places; Margaret Thatcher springs to mind, she entertained him for Christmas dinner at Chequers once - plenty of others, including Diana, Princess of Wales.

However does anyone seriously think that the man ever had a real, true, close friend with whom he shared highs and lows and in whom he confided?

KimberleyClark · 06/05/2023 09:47

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!

The point is that the people get no say in rejecting a monarch deemed to be unsuitable. We still have to accept whoever they say is suitable.

Damn right it should, it’s been proved they covered up for the pedo and allowed him to continue his abuse

And so did the countless number of celebrities,
hospital staff that allowed him into hospital wards, politicians, etc

Jimmy also was Fred Wests drinking buddy at the Nags Head in Peckham.

I thought that was Del Boy.

Booklover40 · 06/05/2023 09:55

Was he bollocks JS's best friend. I'm no Charles fan but given that he is such a dreadful snob I can't see him hanging around with a man who wore nothing but lurid shell suits and huge gold chains.

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 🤷‍♀️
