Andrew Lownie's joint bio 'The Mountbattens' quotes multiple accounts of Mountbatten abusing children and teenagers. One source is one of the Queen Mother's ladies-in-waiting, Lady Decies, who told the FBI that Mountbatten was thought of as a 'person of very low morals' with 'a perversion for young boys'. If Mr Smythe wins the case, would it damage the monarchy? Charles would have been too young to know about it while Mountbatten was alive, but it does put him and the others in an uncomfortable light now, especially since Prince William named Louis after Mountbatten.

The disturbing fact is ,Andrew remains a counsellor of state and can take Charles' place if the latter is incapacitated.
ANDREW.
Bend your knee .

We can do better than this

PoseyFlump · 27/10/2022 20:37

That's shocking @Novella4

TheHouseonHauntedHill · 28/10/2022 08:10

Does anyone think lord m had much time spent with Phil or Charles?

Weekends at country houses now and again?

I don't think they socialise or casually hang out like others do.

Novella4 · 28/10/2022 08:23

Jesus.

He was Charles' mentor .

Plenty of information on this.
For now

They'll be busy attempting to distance themselves when the trial starts

There's a photo of little charles sitting on Mountbattens lap in that link. Considering the age some people claim Mountbatten liked...

@PoseyFlump No one knows, but some predators do see close family as off limits.

PoseyFlump · 28/10/2022 11:18

Yes @antelopevalley true. Rather like a famous singer targeting children of the cleaner rather than famous children.

I heard about Lord Mountbatten years ago. A car that he used to own was coming up in a car auction, and some posh old bloke commented that he'd never buy a car owned by Dickie, and what an awful peodo he was.

beatrice14 · 06/12/2022 19:48

On reading Gyles Brandreth's book on Philip, obviously the accuracy is debatable given his friend and arch royalist status, but it was interesting that in it Philip claimed that he hadn't been closer to 'Dickie' than to his other uncle, and that his grandmother had more of an influence than Dickie had. The book was published before the court case came out, but of course it could still have been damage limitation given that they likely to resurface at some point.

If you read Lownie's book, it's clear from Mountbatten's letters and comments that his actual parapsychosis was women in tall boots, preferably riding boots. There are some ridiculous extrapolations on this thread, but hey! don't let facts get in your way.

@Bideshi People can have more than one attraction you know?

Predators are also very good at smoke screens and look over here behaviour. That's how they get away with it.

Novella4 · 08/12/2022 09:10

@PoseyFlump
That's very true

How naive can you be?

Bideshi · 08/12/2022 12:07

Well, I know Andrew Lownie and I know he'd have loved to have dished as much dirt as possible. He looked but didn't find and he's an ethical enough historian not to write stuff if the evidence isn't there. He used what was provable in the book, but never found any concrete evidence. And he was thorough and had a lot of access. I'll stick with what he believes.

Novella4 · 08/12/2022 13:29

Stick with what you want .

The court case may find otherwise

beatrice14 · 08/12/2022 17:11

Personally, when I read Lownie's book, I interpreted his thanks to 'Sean' and 'Amal' at the end for their bravery in coming forward, and his statement that Nield didn't seem to have a plausible reason to invent in such detail, as implying that they could possibly be telling the truth. Not that they definitely were. He also quoted Anthony Daly, who is generally believed to be truthful, but Daly's knowledge of Lord M was from a client who was possibly lying. And was Lady Decies lying? The FBI said she seemed to have no reason to be, although they themselves have been very mistaken before, as pps have pointed out.

Does anyone know when there will be a verdict on the case in Belfast ?
I have googled yesterday but nothing up to date, just mentioning that the case was coming up.

The Kincora Case was utterly appalling.
Those poor children Sad

LadyEloise1 · 28/01/2026 18:39

Has anyone heard what the verdict was in the case ?

Treylime · 29/01/2026 15:01

Ive just googled there doesnt seem to be any references to it since Oct 22

LadyEloise1 · 29/01/2026 18:32

I googled too and couldn’t see anything.

Musicalchef · 04/02/2026 16:57

The most sickening of it all, it's how naturalized this kind of abuse was. From Saville to Andrew to lord mountbatten, Epstein, Ghislaine and many, many others....that's not a coincidence.

Anon778833 · 04/02/2026 21:34

I’m also convinced the King knows exactly what is going on with these people.

It leads to wonder: who else?
