Royals attending high profile events - business as usual or tone deaf?

[lindabysteven]

Over the past week Charles has been at London Fashion Week, Kate at the rugby and her and William at the BAFTAS. They may have attended other things, I don't know.

These are all very high profile events. the sort of thing my late mum would've described as 'glitzy' so I suppose not the less glam outings, or charity events.
In light of the fact no official statement has gone out from the BP, do you think it's appropriate they're still attending this sort of thing, or it's a bit tone deaf considering the conversations happening about the future of the monarchy, how much Charles already knew about Andrew etc?

I don’t know which family members were complicit. But it is ridiculous to think that Charles and William for two weren’t.

Do you know what the word actually means?

You actually believe they helped him to commit a crime?

I’m aware of anllegations about lots of people, should I be pilloried as a result? Not do my job as a result? Be expected to apologise or otherwise make up for their wrongdoing? Don’t be silly

How do you know they are “complicit” give me one example where Edward, Anne, William, Harry, have been complicit?

I said people were blaming them for being complicit or are you saying that isn’t a thing? There hasn’t been lots of articles and radio phone ins, SM discussions etc about how much the Royals knew & how soon the acted?

I already said I don’t believe they didn’t know about the shady finances as there have been articles about it for years.

When I’ve had traumatic events in the past with family members (not grief) I’ve always pulled myself up and did what I needed to do.

what my family members have done do not define me, reflect me or prevent me. Fair play to them. Keep going.
They are not responsible, and shouldn’t be held responsible.

And what precisely should he have done about it?

@CurlewKate Do tell how William and Charles covered up the rape of trafficked women, I would be very careful if I was you in what you claim is a fact on here.

They certainly acted far too late with regards to the Epstein/VG stuff and removing titles.

That post can’t be directed at me because I have not said anything about that. Andrew has not been arrested for anything to do with that has he? Presumably you understand some of us are talking about what he’s been arrested for?

So you can’t then.

I think Charles's hands were tied whilst the Queen was still alive and in charge. Perhaps he was protecting her. He protested AMW's appointment in Trade, but civil servants who complained about AMW suffered career damage, silencing further speaking out.
It's been hard enough to prise his brother, a publicly proven and spectacular liar, out of the peppercorn rent mansion, and to stop him from inserting himself into public appearances like the Kent funeral.
But as more and more of AMW's vile deeds are exposed and more witnesses come forward, the more the perception is that RF didn't do enough, fast enough, meanwhile he continues to embarrass them and highlight all the many flaws in the antiquated system.

No not you, quote function didn’t work it’s for @CurlewKate

@Traceysgoingtobelivid cant what?

I don't think it means any kind of agenda, but just that people generally don't go around telling people of shit and illegal things they've done.

I worked with a colleague 10 years ago in the NHS that was known to be a bit of an asshole and a bully and possibly taking advantage of junior staff.

I found out some things about him by chance that were just gossip but if true, were gross misconduct and veered into criminal and I whistle-blew. There was an internal and criminal investigation and it turned out what I knew was the tip of the iceberg and I was shocked by what was uncovered.

But what I found out was still vastly more than what 90% of his colleagues and managers knew. All of which had known him for years longer than I.

To the point that during the investigations when I was instructed not to tell anyone of the small bits that I knew and had reported, other colleagues were extremely worried about him, distressed by his suspension and investigation to the point they needed counselling and wondering if it was all bollocks and the poor man was being pushed to the point of possible suicide by all the stress.

Turned out he was a complete wrong'un committing sophisticated crimes over a lengthy period and went to prison for years and was struck off.

And I didn't anticipate that at all and knew him for a few months, let alone all the people who'd known him and considered him a friend for years, invited him to their homes, weddings, etc.

No-one in a public position goes around telling people they know and are even close to, that they're downloading CSAM, using sex workers, abusing DC, beating their wives, using drugs or committing fraud unless they're very sure the people they're telling are doing similar.

You know full well, the question you avoided answering.

@Traceysgoingtobelivid Andrew was arrested for misconduct in a public office. I don’t believe no one in the RF had any questions about his conduct before his arrest. You can disagree but it’s not controversial to question and it doesn’t mean Im spending my morning playing with a pitchfork!

How much do you monitor these people?!

They are not responsible for Andrew's behaviour. Of course they should carry on with events they had planned for. If they didnt go that would be wrong. So they cant win.

Are you aware the dress Catherine wore last night is 7 years old ?

@Traceysgoingtobelivid read my earlier posts on the thread. I already said I don’t believe no one knew a thing.

Ah, you believe! well that’s it then case closed 🙄

They were either complicit in AMW’s various misdemeanors OR were extraordinarily incurious OR were extraordinarily stupid.

BAU

You're just gossiping now. It would be the same thing if I said " well I'm sure Meghan Markle knew Andrew before and partied with him " 🤷‍♀️ it's all just gossip that at this moment is unfounded.

Sorry-this post was for@Traceysgoingtobelivid
