Apparently Prince Andrew’s accuser has lost the photograph of her and PA together. He has always maintained it’s fake and his legal team want it be examined.

Does anyone else find it odd that a photograph that has been kept for years has now suddenly been lost?

He has admitted guilt by this and quite right,too. Tell me they wouldn’t have shouted from the rooftops if she was a shonky cheat and he was an innocent man. I hope they remove his dukedom, he doesn’t deserve it.

Apparently over 80% of people living in York want him stripped of his title.

I suppose have someone associated with sex trafficking and all that goes with it, is not someone you would want as a representative if your town or county.

Best to have done with it imo.

Personally, I take this allegation with a large pinch of salt. Its no coincidence that The Daily Mail are spreading this muck just when Andrew (I refuse to call that poor excuse for a man a Prince) is having to pay out hush money to make all the nasty people go away because Mummy is upset.

The only guilt he has admitted is being a friend of Epstein.

He hasn’t admitted guilt

His joint statement spoke volumes about whether he is guilty or not. He accepted that she was a victim of abuse and never intended to malign her despite spending the last 7 years doing just that. What is missing is any suggestion that he might be innocent. In these cases there is often a clause to the effect that they deny any wrongdoing. There isn't such a clause in this statement. He doesn't have to admit to guilt. How many people pay £12m to someone they can't recall?

If he had admitted guilt, that would have left him wide open to future criminal proceedings.

That was never going to happen.

It’s the problem many celebrities have, an accusation that cannot be proven sticks, in this case backed up by a dodgy photo and association with Epstein.

You pay to make it go away and it’s a bit late to dispute the photo.

So confusing, a woman whose evidence against Maxwell was accepted , she said publicly that Giuffrie had told her she was
going to sleep with a Prince in London, am sure she would have given evidence in court again, perhaps best if she omitted
the word ‘excited’ though
