Prince Andrew

[Ladybug]

Washington Post article From the article:

LONDON — Buckingham Palace said Prince Andrew is “appalled” about the sex abuse claims against Jeffrey Epstein, following the publication of images of the Duke of York at the financier’s New York home in 2010.

The palace statement came hours after the Mail on Sunday published footage of Andrew at Epstein’s Manhattan residence in which he is seen looking out from a large door and cheerfully waving goodbye to a young woman.

“The Duke of York has been appalled by the recent reports of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged crimes,” read the statement emailed to The Washington Post on Monday. “His Royal Highness deplores the exploitation of any human being and the suggestion he would condone, participate in or encourage any such behaviour is abhorrent.”

The video footage was reportedly taken in December 2010, when Epstein was a registered sex offender who had served time in jail. It was known that Andrew had met with Epstein around then — a picture of the duo walking in Central Park taken that December prompted questions about Andrew’s judgment. Shortly after the picture surfaced in 2011, Andrew quit his unpaid job as a trade envoy.

QE has blinders on with him. She loses credibility the longer she publicly shows support for him. I hope the media keeps digging up the dirt on him.

The Andrew/Epstein story is being covered extensively by the media.

Coverage has really blown up now that they have actual information to report and there is general interest in the Epstein case.

For months I have been reading gossip columnists and their commenters complaining about lack of Epstein coverage in comparison to Harry and Meghan. But those same gossip columnists had no actual interest in writing about Andrew/Epstein either. They just indignantly thought that other people should be doing it. Ditto gossip forums. Other than this board where there is an existing Andrew thread, I still don't see new Andrew threads cropping up on other forums. Meghan and Harry are still the hot topic that people want to discuss, not Andrew. Yet they will still complain about the lack of discussion about Andrew as if it's somebody else's responsibility to be interested.

If everybody's still going to the Daily Mail and clicking on the Harry/Meghan articles and bypassing the many, many Andrew articles, Harry and Meghan will remain on top.

Meghan and Harry are still the hot topic because for the last 8 months it's been a fucking pile-on. And people do love a pile-on.

And Sarah is not being used as a prop. She is all-in on this, protecting Andrew by tittering about their relationship in no-doubt paid interviews, because without Andrew in the monarch's good graces, she is broker than broke. And she does love her money. I still think she, or someone in her circle, is the source of the stories about Harry and Meghan. To "re-orient the public perception".

Not really a denial, is it? You can be appalled by lots of things and find them completely abhorrent, while still doing them.

At the risk of dropping an anvil on your understated tone, surely this is a large part of the thrill, too.

Help those young women get justice?? Andrew: "I'm sorry, but my lawyers won't allow me to travel to the US ever again."

I could see Andrew having a little accident before this gets too uncomfortable for "The Firm". I probably shouldn't say that, if you never hear from me again you know why

I personally feel like I have the indignation to be outraged at both Andrew's likely criminal activities and (less outraged but still) at Meghan and Harry's blatant hypocrisy/posturing.

Did I imagine seeing an article over the weekend about him retiring from service due to health concerns?

MrsPickles-- I didn't see any articles to that effect, but I did see an article linking Andy to Epstein more than 20 times-- many of them AFTER he was convicted. Not good. And Virginia was also shown to be there too.
