Poor baby - run home to mummy!

So, not only had Prince Andrew run home to mummy, The Queen has let it be known to the regiment that she wants the Duke of York to remain as colonel, and the feeling is that nobody wants to do anything that could cause upset to the colonel-in-chief.'
What about those who have been hurt by this so far by these allegations...... Diddums - poor Andrew, I wonder if The Queen spoon feeds him his breakfast and wipes his botty for him also!

Has he been summoned to attend court ?

I have said nothing about whether PA should ‘stand up in court and defend himself’ so kindly don’t address that to me. I am not ‘you all’. Find someone who has said that - I don’t think you will.

trisher no-one has said anything is ‘tickety-boo’. Ali said PA should step back into private life and she was told he already had. What’s contentious about that?

So to be clear - do you think he should stand up in court?

What possible relevance does that post have to the comments that PA has stepped back from royal duties and leads a private life, or that the trip to Balmoral isn’t a public event?

It has as much relevance as posting a comment on the quality of Guiffre's language.

But please feel free to come back on the actual content of my post.

A naive one.

Well that's alright then. Be associated with a known paedophile and child trafficker, be accused of sex with an underage girl who has been trafficked then step back into private life. As long as you don't make any public appearances everything is tickety-boo

And mine.

My thoughts are that , if this were Joe Bloggs from Sink Estate, you would all be saying that - even if you believed the allegations to be false - he should stand up in court and defend himself.

My thoughts too Annie.

Anniebach Fri 27-Aug-21 09:39:27

I thought he had stepped back into a private life, joining his family in Balmoral isn’t a public event

OP I think your post is childish and OTT.
I have no affection or indeed respect for Prince Andrew, but to spend time at Balmoral with the Queen is hardly “running home to mummy”
The rest of your post is simply offensive and equally unworthy of comment

And yet you DID comment!!

I'm sorry, everyone, but I think you've all been rather harsh on 'Newatthis'.
It was their attempt at starting a chat ad, rightly or wrongly, they chose wimpy Andrew!!
Maybe he should take a few leaves out of Edwards book and step back into private life, only showing his face when needed, if ever needed!!
He's a disgrace to our Royal Family!!!

I think that Wiki can be ‘updated’ by anyone - I have not read all the article - but it is a site which has not been independently verified.

This piece disputes your opinion of events.

What sort of Prince is best friends with Epstein?

Welshwife Thu 26-Aug-21 17:20:24

One report I read said the father of the girl in question took her to the rendezvous and waited outside for her! What sort of parent does that?

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 26-Aug-21 16:58:36

Alleged actions trisher.

There are New billboards on their way. The new billboards carry more direct messages about the monarchy and challenge some of the key myths.

No one is above the law

In a poll only one in four want a king Charles.

I think she's quite restrained. She could have used much more graphic language to describe the actions of the honourable prince.

I think the RF have feelings, I just think they are a complete anachronism. Dinosaurs probably had feelings as well.

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 26-Aug-21 12:14:01

What a nice turn of phrase she has.

Anniebach Thu 26-Aug-21 11:44:38

So she has a foggy memory !

Differences between Giuffre and Sjoberg’s recollections of this night have been noted. Asked about accusations of inconsistency during her BBC Panorama interview, Roberts Giuffre said: “You are left with a foggy memory sometimes, you really are. I might be wrong on dates absolutely and I might be wrong on places even, sometimes … But one thing that I can tell you is you never forget the face of someone who has heaved over you.”

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 26-Aug-21 11:22:08

Please no, not more of this!

Newatthis Thu 26-Aug-21 11:11:09

Just returning to my thread. Found another article so it would seem there is more than one allegation against PA. There is a very good documentary on Netflix about what went on in the Florida residence of Epstein also. Some people mentioned about where the parents of the Victoria Guiffre where when this was going on. Epstein 'recruited' the girls through their school with the lure of money. I think many parents like to think they know what their teenage children are doing but how many actually do know where they are 24/7. Also some these girls (in Florida) were from very poor and troubled backgrounds. Anyway here's the other article.
