Poor baby - run home to mummy!

Excuses being rolled out to protect Charles. Absolute nonsense to suggest he knew nothing about it. This is an aide he’s known for decades, a close personal associate working on his behalf.

Of course Charles knew about it. He’s not daft, although he gives a good example of it sometimes! I am afraid he won’t be a good King.

I always find it surprising what people know for sure. I remember when Harry and Meghan did the Oprah show so many people "knew" that it was Prince Philip who made the comment about baby's skin colour. Fast reverse when Oprah announced it wasn't.

The prince, his valet and a Saudi billionaire: meritocracy in action

Poor HRH. Why must misfortune dog him, when his only crime is a passion for lovely things paid for by other people?

Thanks for that Grany so funny! I didn't realise Fawcett had "stood down" twice before. Do you suppose it's 3 strikes and you're out? Or does he know too much?

Yes trisher Marina Hyde gets to the point. Hawcett knows a lot. Quite the racket cash for honours

I wonder what the police will uncover

O/P. 23rd August - Andrew has gone to Balmoral

Sun newspaper - 8th September- Andrew left Royal Lodge ,
Windsor yesterday where he has been holed up, to go to Balmoral.

Diddums , ohh I believe I was at Primary School when I last heard that. Cue for a new thread perhaps ?

Hello Bridgeit ?
Long time, no see (or have I been on the wrong threads?)

Hi Callistemon, how nice of you to remember me.Thank you.
I have had a bit of a break , with various family matters taking up a lot of time etc.
But hopefully I shall get back to posting a few comments & viewpoints ?
Hope all is well with you & yours .

We're OK, thanks, not getting out much for various reasons so I'm probably spending too much time on here, Bridgeit!

Just woke to the news on the BBC that he's planning a return to public life after the platinum jubilee next year

PRINCE Andrew has travelled to join the Queen on her Scottish holiday at Balmoral as he avoids responding to a US lawsuit regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

"He knows he is far safer up at Balmoral on the Queen's estate. Andrew is always described as the Queen's favourite son but she is meant to be on holiday at Balmoral.

"With Andrew and everything that is happening with Charles and the investigation into cash for honours she must be wondering when she will get any peace and quiet."

Andrew stepped back from public life after his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was exposed in 2019.

Will he keep running for the 120 days? They have until December 8th to serve the papers on him. He couldn't possibly be avoiding them could he?

Oh how things can be twisted by the press. He goes up to Balmoral every summer nothing new here.

I wonder if Andrew is receiving any advice on his situation. If he is, is he paying heed?

He surely has a legal team and even he isn’t stupid enough to
ignore them.

He surely has a legal team and even he isn’t stupid enough to
ignore them.

"even he isn’t stupid enough"

PA after Emily Maitlis interview: "I think that went quite well."

Mmmmm, yes my mistake, he is stupid enough

We can’t spend too much time on here , can we???
I think it will eventually be the way of the world , but not too soon I hope.

Prince Andrew has been served legal papers over a sexual assault lawsuit, according to claims from lawyers for Virginia Giuffre.

A document filed in a New York court revealed that the civil lawsuit was handed to a Metropolitan Police officer who was on duty at the main gates of The Royal Lodge, Windsor Great Park, on August 27 at 9.30am.

The filing said it was "consistent with the provisions for service upon an individual defendant, under Section 6 of the Civil Procedure Rules, as required by the Supreme Court of Judicature in England & Wales".

However, lawyers for the duke do not accept the papers have been served to him, according to the PA news agency.

It comes after a first attempt was made on August 26, when an agent went to Windsor Great Park, according to the documents.

A Metropolitan Police officer, who was the head of security, told the agent that officers were not able to accept service of any court process, or let anyone trying to serve legal papers on to the property.

However, the agent returned the next day and was told the court process could be left with the police officer at the main gate and that "this matter would then be forwarded on to the legal team".

The document explained that the complaint, the summons and other papers were enclosed "in a plastic sleeve and then in an A4 envelope, addressed to the said defendant, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, at the address" and then left with the police officer.

It went on to say that within 21 days of the summons the plaintiff must be served an answer to the complaint, and "if you fail to respond, judgment by default will be entered against you for the relief demanded in the complaint".

Royal silence has to end. Prince Andrew was accused of these offences ten years ago, why haven’t our head of state and next head of state ensured he cooperate with the FBI, in the interests of justice for sexual abuse victims?

So it looks like the lovely PA is about to get charged a considerable sum in damages if he doesn't respond. Of course mummy will pay it so he probably won't be bothered.

Seems if he remains silent , she will get the money, end of .

I think that Virginia Guiffre would rather have justice for her and other girls than money.
