To want Prince Andrew to lose his title and go to prison?

[Fandango52]

I read an extract at the weekend of Virginia Giuffre’s book and it really shocked me. I was aware - like lots of people - of her case against Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew, and also watched Emily Maitlis’s interview with Prince Andrew when it came out a few years ago.

We know that Epstein and Maxwell went to prison and I think Andrew should also go to prison. He raped Virginia Giuffre and lied about this, repeatedly denying he had actually met her. This would definitely lead to criminal charges for non-royals (even if the case was later dropped, as it often is with rape - which is another story).

I know it’s likely Andrew won’t go to prison - mainly because he is a prince - and I find that so grim. I know he’s lost some of his titles, like his dukedom, but I don’t think that is enough.

I have no connection to the case at all and no reason to be particularly invested in it, apart from the fact it’s shocking and quite unique, and because I think it’s hugely unjust that Andrew probably won’t be brought to justice because he was born royal.

AIBU to think Andrew should at least be tried in court - and if found guilty, should lose his titles and go to prison?

She killed herself it's in her book what her father did to her. Hopefully, a conviction will come from that and her brother fights for her.

Her brother recalled that their father would buy “decently nice things” at points in their life, including a boat. “If there was a payment wired to him, like it would, would be disgusting, be disgusting that he accepted money,” Roberts said

I hope her father and Andrew are locked up and the key thrown away. Doesn't it make you sick that Andrew is still walking around. I am not saying you do love the royal family but the way people worship them and protect them is disturbing and sickens me. On the radio people were saying they want to collapse the royal family it's crazy. I don't feel proud to be British. There is nothing to feel proud about.

That’s not what I meant, and I think you know that.

What I meant was we’ve known for years about what Andrew did to VG, because he is a public figure, but until her book was published, we didn’t know what her father did to her. And the reason for that is because Andrew is a public figure but her father is not.

The media decided this - not us. I would like her father to stand trial. I don’t want him to get away with what he did.

Just read on the BBC that Prince Andrew has lost his ‘Prince’ title and will move out of Royal Lodge: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cnveqgj957dt?app-referrer=push-notification.
