UK - Prince Andrew accused of underage sexual relationship, 1999-2002 *settled* #2

[Stunned]

Get used to seeing Andrew on horseback or golfing.

His lifestyle isn’t going to change much, he will be living in the lap of luxury but in a smaller mansion, on a vast estate in Norfolk.

He will still have servants as he is unable to fend for himself, same as all ‘senior’ royals.

The family just wants him out of sight.

The King has three valets to dress him and keep him in clean socks.

As well as the guy who draws his bath and puts his toothpaste onto the brush for him.

Wish I could find the video of Harry ‘all tied up’ while putting on a top.

Took two men to get him disentangled. SMH

I'd be embarrassed for people to know that about me!

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie spoke outside the Capitol on Tuesday ahead of the vote on the Epstein bill, which later sailed through the House - passing by 427 to 1.

IIRC, Andrew wasn't so keen on horse-riding once. Some years ago he was given a position as the something-or-other of a horsey something-or-other, and I remember him then riding more to get back into practice. Remember, you heard it here first, in all its glorious detail! So he probably rides a lot these days just to fill in his day.

I guess he prefers horse riding to walking around the estate.

He doesn’t really look like a guy who goes for long walks, his choice of course.

One can only watch so many movies on the telly.

When he played golf a lot he would have done more walking - unless he played trump-style, in a golf cart most of the time.

I took a Quick Look at Fergies Instagram yesterday.
All comments on her posts are naturally switched off but she comes across as BEYOND tedious and annoying.
Can’t imagine having to live with her to be honest.

Until now, I thought that Giuffre and Andrew met long before she was able to escape Epstein's alleged coercive control. I am surprised that, at the same time that Giuffre claims to be acting without free will, she was recruiting children for Epstein as part of a paid pyramid scheme. Eighteen months later, while on a paid study-vacation in Thailand, she parted ways with Epstein by simply telling him that she was moving on. His only response was to wish her a good life.

For some reason, I thought the events of 18 months occurred over several years - in part because documentation about coercive control and trafficking suggests that leaving those associations is extremely difficult.

It appears to have gone in about two years. She was sixteen? When they first recruited her turning seventeen soon I believe? She departed two years later from the situation when she was 19 in 2002 for sure. I think leaving is actually difficult.

This entire sordid affair smacks of "Divine Rights of Royalty". And the excesses of royal behavior that has gone on for centuries. Prince Andrew (or do we call him Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew?).

Anyway, that is what has always bothered me about the concept of "royalty". They belive they are born royal, therefore they are better than anyone else. And "above the law", which is what started the "Magna Carta" with King John. Too bad Prince Andrew never read up on royal history.

I don’t believe Andrew MW is obliged to respond to anything/anyone in America.

RSBM

An article was published today quoting Andrew Lownie, the royal biographer ....


”Andrew will not respond or testify in front of Congress,”
”He — or his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson — will never travel to the United Sates again. Neither want to be arrested or forced to testify in front of Congress about their friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.”

“Both of them were much friendlier with Epstein than people imagine,” Lownie said, adding more leaks are soon to come out “that their friendship with Epstein began much earlier than previously thought and that it lasted much longer than people say.”

Other allegations coming down the pipeline are that “we’re going to get other names of people who were trafficked to Andrew, particularly girls younger than Virginia. We are also going to get a stronger sense of the sort of monies that were exchanged and paid to Sarah Ferguson.”

A shame the books couldn't be donated. Pity for the illustrator too.

Now, that is interesting, could Andrew be forced to come to the United States? Like a subpoena? To testify in Congress? Would he have to come?

I doubt he wants to take one step in the United States...after all, Ghislaine is in prison.

That would end up being too controversial. The author being friends with a pedophile who continued to be in contact with him isn’t a good representation for children. That is why they are being pulped, otherwise it is endorsing the author who remained friends with a pedophile.

UK leader suggests former Prince Andrew should testify in U.S. Epstein probe

Pressure is increasing for the former Prince Andrew to give evidence to a U.S. congressional committee investigating the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

www.detroitnews.com

London — Pressure is increasing for the former Prince Andrew to give evidence to a U.S. congressional committee investigating the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after Britain’s prime minister suggested he should testify.

Keir Starmer declined to comment directly about King Charles III’s disgraced younger brother, but told reporters traveling with him for the Group of 20 summit in Johannesburg that as a “general principle” people should provide evidence to investigators.

“I don’t comment on his particular case,’’ Starmer said...

Earlier report

"Under spousal inheritance laws in Western Australia,
Ms Giuffre's husband Robert Giuffre will be entitled to a lump sum and a third of the remaining estate.

However,
it has been reported that Ms Giuffre emailed her lawyer
to say she did not want him to have any of her money
after he initiated divorce proceedings two months before she died."

"Sources have indicated that the ‘practicalities’
of packing up his belongings at ten-bedroom Royal Lodge,
where he has lived on the Windsor Estate for more than 30 years,
and moving to his undisclosed new home were
‘quite a substantial logistical process, if nothing else’.

He also needs to negotiate the ending of his 75-year lease on the property from the Crown Estate early,
which some fear could see him in line to collect compensation given the work he has already carried out on the property."
