It's a handy distraction from Andrew

[Notsympatheticenough]

Really. In the episode of Shameless the Royal family has become. Isn't Andrew really still the big elephant in the room. Abd his accuser"s NDA runs out next month.

The royal family aren't responsible for this 'distraction'- it's Harry who wants to write about his frostbitten cock and share it with the world. He's chosen to become tabloid fodder of the Kardashian ilk.

Harry releases a tell all book. Andrew gets criticised. Seems a tenuous link. 🤔

Andrew is a scum bag, but what more is there to say? He's no longer part of the public face of the RF, there aren't any new allegations, the news cycle has moved on.

Harry's currently making an idiot of himself with his new book, so obviously that's where the media interest is going to lie.

Andrew is keeping his head down. I think its time for a discussion about the age of consent in this country. We are outraged that he had sex with a 17yo, rightly, but this would not be illegal back here at home. Its hypocrisy.

You think Harry is doing all those to distract from Andrew?

That’s a disturbing accusation towards Harry. What would he gain from trying to protect Andrew? There’s huge implications if that’s the case

Actually I think the outrage is around the fact that the young woman was trafficked and groomed while under the UK age of consent, to participate in Epstein’s circus.
The fact that sex may have been legal if she consented is secondaty.

@Timeforachangeisitnot Agreed.
No, of course the fact that she was trafficked / groomed is to be considered, which was Esptein's crime. America seems to full of this with Playboy mansions etc. The actual sex was PA's crime and its revolting that a man in his 30s can have sex with a 17yo back here in the UK and it be legal. (Can you tell I'm the mother of a teen dd?)

Whole thing is disgusting and I am glad someone was held accountable and received life changing censure. Now I would like to know when the rest of the people involved will be made public and punished?

@Alexandernevermind got it. Totally understand and agree with your feelings. It’s beyond sleezy.

I do think it’s time for Parliament to introduce a system whereby hereditary titles, including Royal titles , can be easily removed if the peer/ prince brings the country / themselves into disrepute. One small step towards reformation of House of Lords.
Sorry, not meaning to derail thread.

Andrew isn’t as big of a star as Harry. People don’t click on stories about him the way they do about Harry. It’s really not that deep.

Imagine the media reported on Andrew in the way they do about Harry.

Does the daily mail really need 17 pages of Harry? While using the headline 'Spare us' not understanding the hypocrisy.

The whole family are odious. Meanwhile back in the real world I am looking at my December heating bill and hoping I don't need A and E.

You think the Royal Family set this up?

It would be just the same story again and again. How long can you run the same story over and over.

Theres nothing else to report.

Harrys career is now making more and more claims and attracting media attention. That’s what he and Meghan are paid to do. And they need it to keep attracted paid jobs.

They keep creating the stories.

Indeed.
