Andrew returning to public life

[antelopevalley]

"Prince Andrew — who recently paid a multimillion-pound settlement to Virginia Giuffre to keep her allegations of sexual abuse, which he denies, out of court — is set to make a controversial return to public life on Monday.

As a member of the Order of the Garter, this country’s oldest and most senior order of chivalry, Andrew, 62, will appear alongside senior members of the royal family at the Garter Day service at Windsor Castle."

@Roussette

i think we crossed posts. I don’t think he wants to be on the outside, but I like to imagine they’ve circled around the Queen no to reduce his contact opportunities. He is on
the outside and will hopefully slink off soon

@Roussette

i didn’t type out Meghan and Harry and called them sussex as I was distracted and rushing getting kids to school not trying to be demeaning to them

Yes I agree but if it's true he's not giving up without a fight (i.e. he is very desperate to regain some titles and be a part of the RFs public image) the problem (him) is not going away.
I imagine it will be a lot easier after the Queen has gone

🙂👍
They've been called worse!😂

@Roussette

Are you a godfather 2 fan ?

Can you not see the whole Michael/Fredo scenes replayed - with Charles and Andrew. And then the fishing the on the lake scene (up in balmoral)

Andrew needs therapy. His delusion and entitlement are unbelievable. He cold have and does have such a cushy life but he wants status and respect too.

Maybe Harry should tell his face that he is happy ?

Andrew is a disgrace and has no chance of returning to public life now that PC and PW have joined forces .

I think even before the JE scandal PA was being sidelined by PC wasn't he?

Well PC has his own place up at Balmoral doesn't he?

Maybe William, Kate & the kids can squeeze in with them if PA is at the big house with his Mum!

He looks the happiest I've ever know him be. Why wouldn't he be happy?

ohnonevermind not a huge fan but have watched it so got your meaning!

PoseyFlump Yes I agree, if anyone's still in doubt about Andrew's mates and did he know or didn't he, have a watch of the docu "Unseamly" about Nygard. Different interior decor but otherwise as regards abuse of women and trapping them, he had an identical MO to Epstein, right down to the creepy fake temples. Not possible to visit PN's Bahamas estate and not know something was very very wrong.

😂

Petulant and angry nearly all the time these days.

I have not seen a sign of that. He looks genuinely happy.

There was one photo of him frowning somewhere, which was a second caught in time. I think I saw one a few months back.

Apart from that, he has his own little family, none of the toxicity of the british press and freedom. What's not to like?

Not seen any signs of 'petulant and angry' anywhere but maybe it's just what you would like, as opposed to reality.

To be fair, Roussette, none of us know what the RF "reality" is.
It's nice that Harry is looking the happiest I've ever know him be but he might look as miserable as sin to somebody else.
It depends on whatever the press want to show us - I'm sure it's as easy to get a Harry-beaming-face picture as it is to get a grumpy Harry picture - and on our own perceptions and/or bias.

Totally agree LaM 🙂

Thanks

On re-reading, I just thought I should point out that:

the happiest I've ever know him be

was a quote from you, Roussette.

I know you know, but it's scary how literally people take things here.

I've never known whether Harry is happy or unhappy because I don't know him.

😂

I thought H looked tense at the jubilee.

I agree. We don't know. It's just appearances and perceptions of photographs isn't it?

To me (just my opinion) he looks more carefree and happy but I don't know

It's just appearances and perceptions of photographs isn't it?

Absolutely. And I see now how you used "know" to mean "perceived" (apologies if I've misconstrued that).

I just noticed that my post had bolded a quote from you but I hadn't ascribed the quote to you.
So thought I should explain because:

1. It's not something I would have said

and

2. I don't want to seem a plagiarist

No worries LaM👍🙂

Roussette

Phew!

It's like treading on eggshells here, isn't it?

What does this have to do with Prince Andrew?

And in more legal woes for Andrew, lawyers for an alleged victim of Epstein are apparently looking for a witness statement from him in relation to a rape JE allegedly committed during Andrew's notorious 2010 visit:

Given the long drawn out ducking and diving over 'doing all in his power' to assist with enquiries, I'm not holding my breath for a speedy result.

They've got to be joking; if he won't engage properly in a case concerning his own alleged victim he's certainly not going to do it for the sake of someone abused by a now-dead paedophile
