I think Andrew genuinely believed that these women were excited and pleased to be having sex with him. Such is his level of entitlement and grandiosity I really don’t think he has understanding of how ordinary people think and feel. I doubt he has a clue about what trafficking involves or anything about the home lives of girls who become sucked into that dark world. To him it’s all ‘play’ . Self indulgence, gratification of increasingly perverted tastes that were normalised in the circles he moved in. He has been surrounded by people telling him he’s wonderful or biting their lip if they think otherwise. It seems no one has ever said no to him, never pulled him up on anything, never disciplined him. He lives on an entirely different level to ordinary people. He thinks he’s very very special and can have whatever he wants. He doesn’t think of the feelings or needs of others.
Watching parts of that interview with EM again, I think he probably genuinely can’t remember VG. She was one of many many women he used for gratification, believing they were enjoying it because he’s a PRINCE. I don’t think he ever gave a thought to why those women were doing what they were doing, whether they were actually there by choice or enjoying it. I don’t believe the thought ever crossed his mind. So in his mind he’s innocent. I’m sure he explained it to the Queen as ‘I’ve been a bit silly mummy , but that woman was in it for herself and now she’s trying to smear my name’. Mummy then tried to hush it all up, because ‘boys will be boys’.
SF had a father who used prostitutes. Her moral compass was clearly wonky too.
