Palace staff knew Andrew was sharing confidential files with Epstein so what will happen to them?

[CesarSoubreyon]

On the email Andrew sent to Epstein sharing confidential information, palace staff were CC'd in, meaning that they knew what he was doing and did nothing to stop it.

Does this mean that palace staff could be arrested and possibly charged too? And if they knew, then surely higher up the chain would have known too? Probably the late Queen and Charles.

It speaks volumes that palace staff, security, police protection officers etc haven't been questioned already by the Royal Family. Or perhaps they have been questioned but it hasn't been publicly passed on.

Watching a YouTube vid, apparently there was an instance if a police protection officer trying to report a Royal for speeding. That officer got removed from the unit and sent back into uniform (massively demoted).

There's a huge power imbalance with the staff of the elite, as you'd expect. So if the police can't do their job properly around them and enforce the law then how on earth could normal staffers?

It depends who was cc, what action if any they took and why would they be cc other than to deflect blame and say "well they knew and did nothing,"

it’s not a moral question- is it a crime to know someone was potentially misusing a public position and not report them? I’m not sure it is, but would be interested to know.

In the past, I think it's unlikely they would be held accountable, however I believe attitudes are changing and it's more likely to be regarded in the public interest to investigate and possibly prosecute.

As Starmer is about to find out looking the other way doesn't wash anymore...

How does that work if they've signed an NDA?

An NDA doesn't over ride the law, any attempt to silence whistle-blower or law breakers makes it unenforceable

why would they care, the only person that had to be investigated was meghan lol how’s that bullying one coming along I wonder.

Is it a crime though? Does anyone know?

Which member of staff was CC ‘ d ?

Amanda Thirsk for starters.

She requested info for Andrew, and passed it on to him who then passed it to Epstein. I imagine she knew this.

AMW is being prosecuted for misconduct in public office, I doubt his staff would be seen to be in public office role so couldn't be prosecuted for that offence

This investigation will take months, if not years, to progress.
No doubt relevant staff will be questioned at some point. If there is enough evidence to take a case against them, then the law will decide.
Those people expecting that AMW and others will immediately be chucked in prison, clearly have little understanding of how the justice system works.
Absolutely everyone has and deserves the right for their innocence - or guilt - to be assessed properly, in accordance with the law of the land. Newspaper reports and social media aren't part of that process!
Put down your knitting needles, folks, because there won't be a guillotine.

Apart from Amanda Thirsk , who we know was Andrews private secretary for 16 years , who were the other “palace “ staff CC’d ?

Is he?
Maybe you should tell the CPS that because up to now he’s not even out on bail he’s out pending further investigations with no date to return; which isn’t even closed to being prosecuted.

@CesarSoubreyon?

That was what he was arrested for, apologies
No need to be so snippy

Knock yourself out

Sorry I’m not scrolling through that! , we know about Amanda Thirsk, the op has stated “palace staff” , I’m assuming that obviously they are aware that each principle has their own separate staff , so they obviously have proof of staff other than Andrews that were cc’d into the emails .

otherwise why else would they wish to accuse the entire staff of the palace ( all of them, for all principals) of being involved and aware of criminal activities?

these people are staff and far more likely to be punished than any one higher up .

I think this needs to be done as an investigation into internal Palace procedures and culture. It seems they are incapable of investigating themselves, as the culture of secrecy, deference and arse covering will most probably mean they cannot do that effectively. The Palace needs to get someone external in and have a look at what is happening within their households and they need to be accountable. None of this forelock tugging nonsense anymore. They are having a long awaited and richly deserved reckoning.

I agree transparency is key but the op hasn’t responded to my question as to who apart from Amanda Thirsk was cc’d , and before I judge and accuse the staff of collusion, I’m going to need actual evidence.

The Royal family exist in their bubble because of the staff of which there are many. All dedicated to presenting a wholesome picture to the general public. That is why they have Personal Private Secretaries, Digital engagement staff, Correspondence staff, Crisis Managers, Public Relations, Press Officers. It's all about public image.

I agree @RainbowBagels they cannot and should not investigate themselves which is why sweeping changes are needed.
I posted this elsewhere but it's really worth listening to. Jon Sopel and Emily Maitlis on how it has all changed since QE2's demise.

Personally I used the search feature.

Part of Andrews job was promoting British business to foreign business men. As far as anyone was concerned at the time Epstein was just another business contact. Why would anyone query an email? It can be confidential but still be shared with people who might be investors or other interested parties. That was the whole point of trade envoys, I doubt anything really secret was mentioned in emails. To me it's more whether Andrew was getting kick backs or freebies for providing information to people who had no reason to have access to it. If or when Andrew was doing anything really bad it wouldn't have been in emails it would been in private meetings.

I'm sure the late Queen and Charles had no interest in the minutiae of what the trade envoys were doing. Very interested in the outcome particularly if there were great deals done for British businesses, but there will have been thousands of emails, messages, phone calls between the trade delegations and any number of business people and foreign government officials, the late Queen wouldn't have been checking them all!

Ok so Amanda Thirsk then! 🤷‍♀️

Once you start that thread then other names working for PA pop up. I won't type any here as that would alert the world. But once you being digging.
