And you can not convince me that both William and Charles do not know what is still to come regarding Andrew and Epstein and trade envoy stuff - they should be getting ahead of this stuff.
I read (maybe heard it from Lownie) that Charles knew some of what was to come last year, it wasn't a surprise. And as time got closer he had to just push Andrew to do a midnight flit.
I have said before... the Palace are reactive not proactive. They don't think ahead how something might look if they do it. They are complacent. They do whatever it is, then cope with the fallout. It's pathetic, the Palace officials just do fire fighting. They don't plan. I have thought this time and time again with their bloops, missteps, and downright stupidity
