Prince Andrew served with legal papers over sexual assault lawsuit (Telegraph)

As you’ve regularly posted about the wealth of the members of the Royal Family *trisher, it was gratuitously mean spirited to say ‘I suppose mummy will pay’. Why did you say that?

OK, he's a sleazeball and a coward, but when introduced to an attractive, ready and willing young woman who surely knew she was there to have sex, what man like him would think of asking her name or age beforehand? She didn't look underage in that photo. And why should he remember her out of all the prostitutes he obviously mixed with?
Not defending him, just thinking outside the box.

exactly!

I think the way PA and his legal team are trying to dodge out of being served with these papers is just making PA look more devious and more determined to avoid answering for himself.

Surely if he is innocent he has no need to try and avoid defending himself in court?

If he is found guilty and damages awarded against him what jurisdiction will a US court have over him to make him pay especially as this is a civil case?

Apparently though if he refuses to engage he can be judged in absentia and damages awarded accordingly. I suppose mummy will pay.

You suppose do you, but you don’t know, do you?

It is a civil court case. A person cannot be found guilty in a civil court, they can be ordered to pay money.
This is a compensation case against PA

If he is ordered to pay this will mean guilty

Yes mummy makes sure all her family receive money. Queen is hugely wealthy as well as receiving sovereign grant.
The RF spend public money day in day out.
In 70s queen had a transparency law changed to hide her embarrassing wealth from the public.

Kings and queens once ruled the country now they bleed the country.

We don't know but I would suppose too.

Sex with a 17 year old is not a crime in this country yet he can be found guilty of having sex with a 17 year old in this country

True

Kings and queens once ruled the country now they bleed the country.

In an unusual move I'm going to disagree with you Grany. Kings and Queens have always bled the country, the triumph of the house of Windsor is that they make people think its the natural order of things and there's no alternative.

When did as '*alleged*'. take place ?Why was it not reported at the time ?

Probably, allegedly, for the same kind of reasons that other powerful men don't get immediately reported.
Jimmy Saville, for example.

Well said, Grany,
it's about time this whole Royal Family business was sorted out.
How can we possibly contemplate a "King Charles and Queen Camilla" after their behaviour?

Exdancer
With you on that.

I feel it would be great for British morale if Prince Andrew faced up to the allegations in an American court, even if he lost. If Prince A did so he'd be setting an example of moral courage that would inspire us. It takes guts to shoulder blame and pay the penalty even if you are innocent.

It would take a very strange person to shoulder the blame and
pay a fine even if innocent

I agree with you Alegrias true.

If he loses and is ordered to pay compensation who is going to make him pay? His lawyers, and remember they will be the best, don’t seem to be recognising the New York Court’s authority.

I dont think OJ ever paid the Goldman family.

True. But not all citizens are gullible !

Sorry Caleo I'm obviously missing something.
