Prince Andrew Can't Sweat

Doing wrong is not black and white even in law.

My own father who of course had never heard of Prince Andrew, could not sweat. My mother , who had never heard of Prince Andrew, told me this when I was was girl . My mother did not explain about the adrenaline thing as she had no medical knowledge, but after Andrew's admission about not sweating . I can understand how hormones are affected by some severe life events. My father was at the Eastern Front during the Great War.

Also in support of Prince Andrew, he probably did not even know that it was illegal or even immoral to shag an unknown and poor seventeen year old girl. Very rich people have odd childhoods, and it takes special efforts by parents and teachers to teach them what real life is.

Giuffrie looks really happy in the photograph, she kept it for years too

I'm sure members of gransnet who had awful relationships with coersive husbands appear happy at times, and probably have photos suggesting as much.

Every child growing up in every household will have different reactions , traits, likes & dislikes, differing attributes or lack of any endearing ones , different emotions, different opinions & differing behaviours they may also share similar behaviours & attitudes.
Our live’s take us on different journeys, wither we are rich or poor or anything in between.
Perhaps there should be a mandatory check on the condition of each of our moral compasses at different stages of our lives, whereupon we could benefit from a refresher course if found to be severely lacking in this vital component.

A girl who has just been forced to have sex with a man would not have a sparkle in her eyes

If gransnet was more sensitive and allowed some privacy to its users, I would post a picture of my girl just after she was told her cancer was terminal.
Nobody would ever have known.

Forsythia Sun 02-Jan-22 16:01:12

Maybe it was before she did it?

It upsets me to look at old photos of my parents as even though my Mum is smiling I can tell she often looks scared sad

That was in answer to AnnieBach.

Never judge a book by it's cover, I would say.
I watched an interesting documentary about page 3 girls, and some of their tales would make your hair stand on and.
How did they look in their photos?

MissAdventure Sun 02-Jan-22 16:14:38

I also saw a programme with Richard Carpenter speaking about his sister, Karen.
He said she could literally switch into singing mode, and conjure up her poignant voice in an instant.

Annie's song; apparently written very, very quickly to try and smooth over yet another misdemeanor - and yet it is such a breathtaking song.

And how do you know that particular photo was taken right after such an event? You seem determined to argue PA's case at all costs, Anniebach.

I guess what Espee means is they weren’t making love

Oopsadaisy1 Sun 02-Jan-22 16:28:53

As his Mum said ‘ recollections may vary’.

Let’s face it if he had nothing to hide he would have gone to the USA and answered their questions.

On the other hand I would expect to see all of the named people in Maxwells little black book to be questioned as well and not just His Smugness. I’m sure the lady in question wasn’t just introduced to him so why isn’t she suing the others as well?

Iam64 Sun 02-Jan-22 16:29:31

I’ve seen so many photographs of children with sparkly eyes, looking happy and relaxed. The allegations these children made around the time the photographs were taken, or made as teenagers, confirm how good many victims are at hiding their pain.
That one image of VG with PA has been referenced on these discussions many times, as ‘proof’ VG was a willing participant, or is lying.

Atqui Sun 02-Jan-22 16:33:15

There are possibly other people who dare not post who would agree with Annie. None of us knows for sure what went on .

Jillyjosie Sun 02-Jan-22 16:34:27

I think the young women in porn films and in brothels are told to look happy or they'll be beaten up or worse. Photos can be very misleading.
I can't imagine anyone supporting sleazy Andrew, I really hope he's going to get his come uppance.

Atqui Sun 02-Jan-22 16:35:40

That photo proves nothing eithervwsy

Atqui Sun 02-Jan-22 16:36:15

Either way .

Anniebach Sun 02-Jan-22 16:55:04

I am not supporting Andrew and have said so, I do not believe
Giuffrie and have said so.

* Annibach* You entitled to your views as much as anyone else on this thread, without being judged .

Blondiescot Sun 02-Jan-22 17:18:08

Atqui - of course anyone is entitled to their views, but you cannot expect others not to judge them on those views. That's what forums like this are all about. But I'd hoped we could all be adult enough to realise that we can debate these issues without resorting to personal attacks (which I don't think anyone has done).
