Palace PR strategy in the wake of AMW-Epstein scandal

[Asmuchastheypossiblycan]

I’ve just seen who I think was a Sky news reporter, reporting on the King’s visit to the Colchester area today, laying out what is obviously the current BP PR strategy in the light of reason developments in the AMW-Epstein scandal.

She said that the Palace wanted it to be made very clear that the RF are very much not ignoring this story and wanting it to go away, and referred her back to Edward’s words about the victims earlier in the week.

But that their policy nonetheless was going to be carry on with their engagements as usual, as they have faced difficulties before, and will do so again.

I’ve no doubt that this is difficult for KC and family but AIBU to think that in the light of what has happened, and the covering up of ALW’s financial and sexual wrongdoings, this isn’t really good enough?

Surely it’s not right that AMW is above the law?

Also, a man in the crowd shouted out a question to KC about whether AMW would be investigated, and two policeman moved him away!

Last time I looked, I thought we lived in a democracy which welcomes free speech?

Why aren’t reporters and members of the public allowed to air their views on this situation and express that AMW should be investigated?

Otherwise isn’t the Palace PR strategy in reality advocating “one rule for them and a different one for us?”

Yep. I agree entirely. The enabling and protecting of the RF has opened them up as weak link in security. That again goes back to the government, the police, the Intelligence services, the Civil Servants and palace staff who did nothing but enable, again and again. I agree the RF having all these hangers on opens them up completely to blackmail and extortion, which they don't seem to care about, while they apparently are all terrified of talking to Harry in case he makes another Netflix documentary about them.

Post 2010 you could be prosecuted for paying for sexual acts by a trafficked person, even if you did not know they were trafficked.

But difficult to prosecute so only a handful of prosecutions happened and as mentioned, just a summary offence dealt with in magistrates courts

Post the modern slavery act 2015 you could be prosecuted for sex acts with a trafficked person even if no payment was made as exploitation of any kind is illegal.

Again, difficult to prosecute in any case.

I think Andrew isn't as stupid as he looks and knew that what he was doing wasn't illegal. As did the multitude of other men.

But it's always been morally reprehensible, predatory, abusive and exploitative.

Just not always illegal.

That's a great explanation..many thanks

You're welcome 😊
