"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."

While Ghislaine deserves every second of that 30+ years in jail, they really ought to do a deal where she sings like a canary from her client list.

She'd be suicided before she was able to sing and she knows it. The names must be huge. Would probably shock even the hardiest among us.

It has obviously been decided that she will be the focus so that royals, politicians and businessmen are not. Also, Ghislaine's fate is a shocking contrast with the Rotherham child grooming and trafficking gangs.

Absolutely - also the reason why, as Posey just suggested, there won't be any singing done

And yes, a shocking contrast indeed with Lancashire, about which there seems practically no interest now if a very recent thread's anything to go by: www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4572959-to-think-that-something-absolutely-has-to-change-with-how-people-reporting-sexual-assault-are-supported-trigger-warning

At least according to mumsnet he hasn't disgraced the Queen by emigrating to his wife's home country.

That would be hard, considering she's English!

Whilst watching Noel at Glastonbury I noticed one Flag that appeared several times wit " Prince Andrew is a sweaty Nonce " written on it

Quite true and hits the nail on the head !

PoseyFlump · 26/06/2022 08:40

@billysboy that's hilarious 😂

Saw this (somewhat bigger than a flag):

Doesn't make any difference, though, does it? Have we all been reading about how Andrew's lifestyle will continue to be maintained anyway? So, he doesnt care, RF doesnt care, only we care. Then there's Charles and his links with Saudi oil, the very same institutions that bailed out banks during the last banking crisis move along now, nothing to see here

I think it does make a difference. It would have been easy for the general public to be hoodwinked into believing this was just a matter of age of consent in the US. It's heartening if the majority think it's far more sinister and won't let him get away with slipping back into his old life. I think it goes far deeper than what we know.
