So what do we think will happen to Andrew, could he actually go to prison?

I just don’t believe it could happen. Also I’d like him to go to prison for the sex offences, that seems more important than his sharing confidential information problem.

He does seem to be moved to a slightly smaller home as the only outcome each time.

At the rate things are going it might only be a few years before his final home is 3m x 2m then.

LOLing here at the stunning revelation that BMW6 is actually Bunty Mountbatten-Windsor 😆 MN has lost its collective marbles tonight (and I am here for it!)

Really....... Barbara Mountbatten-Windsor if you please 😂

The only sad aspect of today's events is that it's sullied Wood Farm, the lovely bolthole where Prince Philip spent his final days and where the Queen would pop round to cook his tea and do the washing up, like they were just a normal retired couple pottering around in their dotage.

Don’t judge other people by your (low) standards.

Tbh this poster seems to be not even reading who he/ she is replying to.

Perhaps it’s fergie on 🍷 panicking currently

But an apparently 68yr old woman (apparently they say) posting as they have - disgraceful

Apparently she did! Well, she probably decanted the food from Tupperware that her cook prepared earlier, but she def did the washing up. Princess Anne talked about it in a doc.

This ^ I cannot believe it is a 68 year old woman either. This poster is extremely defensive and emotionally invested for a reason we do not know.

Yes SF frantically searching AMW MN threads, I can just picture it.

I tho the house move was a covert way of getting rid of evidence. There will investigations but no prosecutions. Even if a trial goes ahead noting will be proven.

This poster - indeed a 68 year-old woman, is not "defensive" and certainly not "emotionally invested" but is keen to discourage a witch hunt.

Can you really not see that some opinions expressed on here are no different from those expressed about immigrants, Muslims, Jews?

No interest in Fact or Law, just bias and prejudice?

It's very odd. Do any of you stop and think sometimes?

How is anyone prejudiced here?

Nobody is suggesting that all 66 year old men in Norwich are sexual abusers, or in fact that they all associate with sexual abusers.

Just that one. Who has admitted association with one. And has had photos taken in the home of one, with young women.

That’s not prejudice, or bias. I am not biased against 66 year old men, that would be awfully specific.

Fantasy. The Queen did about as much washing up as Mary Berry. None.

I live in Norfolk. Used to regularly see the Queen pottering about like a normal person. Quite unnerving the first time. No one in that area bats an eyelid.

What about your prejudice towards AMW's sex trafficked victims?

WaryHiker · 19/02/2026 22:17

When Lord Peter Wimsey's brother, the Duke of Denver, was arrested, he had to be tried by a jury of his peers ie: members of the House of Lords. Is that tradition still on the books?

But in law he has not committed any sexual crime!

He is one of hundreds associated with Epstein. Why is he the only target? Why is he the only one named?

I have no sympathy for him but this is not fair.
Some on here will not be satisfied.

TunnocksOrDeath · 19/02/2026 22:18

It would be very difficult to obtain sufficient evidence to secure a conviction that he had sex years ago with specific individuals, and that he knew those individuals were underage or coerced rather than just impressed by his fame. It appears that there might be evidence that he shared information that should have remained confidential, in relation to his role as a public official, so if that's all they can get him on, that's what they'll go for. The cost of keeping him safe in prison would be astronomical; if he gets a conviction it would be more pragmatic to make him wear a tag at home (esp. given his age) but I don't know if that would even be an option.

In the law, yet.
