I think some are getting on their ‘high horse’ over this (pun intended)
I quite like Zara she does her own thing, has had her own success and tends to keep her powder dry. I can’t get too excited if she does a sit down with William Hill to chat horses.

What’s next?
Prince William has pint or two in his local pub which is not on because alcoholism

or attends a football match which is not on because hooliganism

They aren’t responsible for the choices other adults make.

I for one loved the pun 🐎

Guess you would feel the same if it was 'Spoons then?😁

Actually, the thought of Zara being the “Face of ‘Spoons” is quite funny…….

As you know perfectly well, there is a difference between having a pint or two for PR purposes (“ooh, he’s just like us-so down to earth”) and talking to William Hill for money.

Unless Zara was telling people to put their life savings on ‘Republican Joe’ running in the 2.30 at Aintree then I’m not getting the outrage. Sorry.

Sadly it looks like William has that one covered. 😁 🍻🍔

Naughty William, that’s just not on.
It’s a disgrace.😁🍻🍻🍻

its funny that posters will come on here and defend PA, pretending that there is no proof. whilst posting on other threads that are pure speculation.
(ignores pub derail) because of cause people just pay out millions to a trafficked woman for no reason.

Who is defending Andrew ? I thought we were 99.9% agreed he is a despicable person .

BemusedAmerican · 07/04/2025 10:14

And all looking forward to the Andrew Lownie book.

A reach to point out that ZP took money from some pretty unsavory companies?

Probably a reach to point out she's another royal (and Fergie, Again!) who's formed associations with people with links to China too:

https://archive.ph/a2aue

Worth pointing out this is the man who paid her £100k for six gigs a year and that she had her lawyers lie about it until they were presented with evidence.

Fair to say if she can bring in this type of wonga for so little effort she doesn't really need to be sitting down with sharks like William Hill but, well as with the rest - greedy and venal.

Edited to give archived link 🙂

Indeed. But she doesn’t make jam…..

BasiliskStare · 07/04/2025 12:47

I'm reading at the moment Andrew Lownie's biography of The D&DoW .(The Traitor King) It pulls no punches with them but nor does it on where the British Govt and RF tried to suppress some documents between Edward and Nazi sympathisers etc. (eg Marburg Files). Some chapters the footnotes detailing his sources are nearly as long as the text of the chapter ( I might be slightly exaggerating there)
However it gives me confidence that his will be a very very well researched book and (despite the FOI refusals ) he will use whatever is available to him to comment on all parties.

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through.

edit spelling

NewAgeNewMe · 07/04/2025 13:52

The Traitor King was an excellent read.

You didn't answer the question. Just more whataboutery. No surprise of course.

Harry removed himself from the family. Andrew did not. His family most likely believe him over Guiffre. Why wouldn't they support him? Like him or not, the poor bastard has been put through the mill, disgraced and humiliated, which must be some blow for a man of his arrogance. I don't see any reason he should be excluded from family events. I'd like to think my family would support me if I was the subject of an untrue allegation.

I really don’t understand why anyone has sympathy for PA, he was an associate of Epstein and that is all I need to know

humiliated and disgraced, really?? Tell that to the women that were subjected to Epstein and his cronies , Andrew being one

BasiliskStare · 07/04/2025 16:42

@NewAgeNewMe I agree, I have just finished it. I am now (I am a voracious reader 😂) starting Lownie's "The Mountbattens" I suspect this will also be well researched and even handed. Had to smile though in the Preface L ( Lownie) mentions that no-one other than Winston Churchill has a longer entry in Who's who" which (L) says reveals his (M's) achievements his values and his pomposity. For context I am just reading the Prologue so too early to tell.

CathyorClaire · 07/04/2025 20:56

The poor bastard morally bankrupt buffoon even went on to lie about being a continued associate after his own hubris brought about his humiliation and disgrace.

Samcro · 08/04/2025 09:27

i find it shocking that even after PA(well his mummy) paid the victim, people still make excuse for him.

I couldn’t agree more.

And because of that outright lie, I don't actually believe he cut contact with the Chinese spy Yang.
Why should we believe him? There is categoric proof that he lied in the Maitlis interview. His words "and to this day I never had any contact with him from that day forward."
Apparently that was 'showing leadership' and being 'too honourable'.

Court documents show Andrew's emails and that he was carrying on as normal with Epstein, talking of mutual acquaintances and golf. That went on for about a year.
So he is a liar. And I'm surprised the media don't make more of this.

And I believe he kept contact with Yang. He always carries on doing what he wants until he gets found out.

It's actually hilarious how many people can't comprehend what a 'settlement is!

And to compound that by failing to understand that pointing this out is a fact, not a defence of anyone!!

Unbelievable.
