Poor baby - run home to mummy!

You didn’t ask that question Petera you were concerned with
wealth and fame.

Missing the point of Petera's post quite spectacularly there Anniebach,

Anniebach

You didn’t ask that question Petera you were concerned with
wealth and fame.

Just so that we don't get down the rabbit hole of arguing by misunderstanding common English usage, let me just accept your point and ask you your own question:

"what sort of person attends parties with teenage runaway girls?"

If the girls are underage then a pervert and a criminal as all the
men who attend, no matter their wealth or political career .

I have never defended Andrew but I do believe some are eager
to have him charged because he is a member of the royal family , they show no interest in any one else who was involved .

I am puzzled by the lack of response by Prince Andrew and the Queen’s silence on this. I don’t understand how the Queen doesn’t see how damaging this is to the RF and the longer it continues the more damaging it will be.

I agree with Annie that all those persons involved should be interviewed/charged if crimes were committed.

maddy what can the Queen do ?

Andrew will do as all would do, follow the advice of his legal team.

Epstein was put on suicide watch, then taken off, few days later
he was dead .

Why would a very elderly woman do anything? She’s not the one who has to answer here. Her son is no doubt thinking it will all blow over and maybe he is right. That will be what his legal team will have told him, line of least resistance.

Anniebach "If the girls are underage then a pervert and a criminal as all the men who attend, no matter their wealth or political career ."

Thank you Anniebach, I can't but agree (but might add "men or women" - particularly in this case) and respect that opinion.

You have been very clear, but perhaps now some of the other royal supporters on the thread can take the chance to be equally clear?

Petera thank you. Perhaps some republicans would hold back
on their joy that a member of the royal family is involved.

The mocking of the Queen, his mother, is this fair, some think
She should do something, God knows what they expect her to
do, stand at the gates of Buck house and be filmed pointing a
finger to the exist as he walks through it carrying a suitcase.

I have heard / read about Ms Maxwell and her childhood but
she is wealthy so impossible for her to be a damaged woman,

Andrew will have a good legal team and follow their advice. You don’t keep a dog and bark yourself. The mocking of a 95 year old widow is distasteful and totally unnecessary. This affair isn’t damaging to the RF, only to one member of it if he is guilty of any offence - as to which no-one on GN has any proof. They merely speculate.

No doubt Andrew's legal team will give him advice which will keep him safe regardless of his guilt. But innocent or guilty doesn't he have a moral duty to uphold the highest standards of behaviour, especially given his status? Shouldn't he therefore voluntarily offer his help to any investigation? After all if he is completely innocent he will be safe and he might help bring others involved in these activities to justice.

No doubt Andrew's legal team will give him advice which will keep him safe regardless of his guilt
So you have already formed your judgement.

Considering Epstein’s suicide ! I wouldn’t trust any of them.

Epstein was in prison, Andrew wouldn't be if he was giving evidence and innocent.

Who has he been asked to give evidence against ?

Anniebach does it matter who he would be giving evidence against. Isn't it just possible he could have information which would lead to more of the people involved in this exploitation of young girls being brought to justice?

The Questions that need answered….

Did the Royal Family / the government / the Queen know about Prince Andrew’s visits to Epstein’s island ? To his mansion in New York ?

Who did his security detail ( who we pay for ) report to and what did they say ? (“Prince on island with lots of teenage girls and sleazy men. Some of girls may be underage.” ?)

Was there a reluctance to confront the Duke with his behaviour? After all he is notoriously a boor and shouts at anyone who questions him ?

If the authorties / royal family / establishment knew what was going on – what did they do about it ? Anything ?

trisher he isn’t wanted to be a witness, he is facing allegations,
he cannot be a witness for himself. You know this ,

He was originally asked to be a witness in 2020. He has consistently failed to cooperate with the FBI or help their investigations. The civil case is just the latest attempt gat some sort of response from him.

‘Reportedly told insiders ‘
Im not defending PA, but how often does this phrase get trotted out to safe guard faceless people who can anonymously make statements which are taken as ‘absolute truths’.

trisher, the civil case is a compensation claim, it’s not about getting some sort of response.

Grany. You have the most odd view of the royal family

You think every move made by the family is reported to the
Queen and the government ?

Germanshepherdsmum You evidently know exactly what is in the mind of Virginia Guiffre. It is a possibility that had Andrew cooperated fully with the FBI in 2020 and voluntarily given evidence she would not have filed for damages.
