Breaking news is that Andrew will now be Andrew Mountbatten - Windsor, his title is no longer, and he will move out of Royal Lodge.

It’s vile Smileless

For me the similarities are the way people are jumping to conclusions without any real evidence Casdon.

I'm not sure in this case, I have my doubts about both of them TBH but it's the trial by media that I'm finding distasteful.

No I do not, and I do not think I have ever expressed that opinion.

That’s why I asked you eazybee, I wasn’t sure what you were saying. It won’t be left to rest, I think we can be confident there is going to be more.

In response to your earlier question Doodledog I don't think it's necessary to use derogatory language about Andrew or VG which ever one you think is lying.

When I posted about baying, I was referring to comments about Andrew being boiled in oil; that he's a paedophile; Sandringham's too good for him; he should be locked up; he should be deported etc. and then there are the attacks on Sarah and the daughters.

We all know or at least should know that sometimes there is smoke without fire Casdon. Cliff Richard to name one and more recently Charles Hanson, accused by his wife of assaulting her and coercive control; he was cleared at his trial.

I remember seeing posts here on GN about there being something about him that posters didn't like. It happens every time a celebrity has accusations made against them. I bet people were saying 'there's no smoke without fire' about him too, but they were wrong weren't they.

Neither of those cases are similar to the Andrew case though Smileless2012, are they? There was no corroborative evidence, in Hansen’s case it was his wife’s word against his. There were no emails, photographs or witnesses either. This feels quite different to me, in this case I do believe there is fire. I’d be pleased to be wrong, but I don’t think I will be, there is just too much coming out.

That is what I figured, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

I will have to look up the accusation as I haven't been paying attention today. The video has been out there for everyone to see since 2021, and we all saw it happen live. This should be an easy thing to solve.

Quite obviously if a video can be doctored, how easy is it to doctor shall we say a photo?

It has just been reported that the BBC doctored footage of Trump’s speech to encourage a riot on Capital Hill in 2021.

I ask this sincerely. What does this have to do with AMW?

Anniebach Mon 03-Nov-25 19:53:57

Me too Iam thank you

Iam64 Mon 03-Nov-25 19:50:40

That’s really rather cruel Annie. I shared info I’ve never shared before and wish I hadn’t. fwiw I could list many brave survivors and many abusers not brought to any kind of justice.
I’m out

I doubt the BBC has that much influence over US citizens!

Just filtering the information at the moment. Am shocked that any news provider like the BBC has such little integrity and credibility. If Trump’s speech can so easily be doctored and distorted then who else is fair game?

Mollygo Mon 03-Nov-25 19:41:32

No I don’t think it’s a bizarre series, but do keep digging and don't complain that others are digging into VG’s life.
Hearsay is so useful.

Anniebach Mon 03-Nov-25 19:39:49

Iam when I spoke of Andrew being sexually abused age 11 you said “many went on to live happy lives” did you mean boys and girls or just boys ?

Iam64 Mon 03-Nov-25 19:35:24

Ilovecheese

Why would people in America, near Capital Hill, be watching the BBC.

I read the a guardian report in this ronib. That led me to conclude you’re manipulating the report to suggest the bbc encouraged the riot. Nope that was Mr Trunp

Quite how this allegation contributes to discussion of AMW is a bit of a mystery, except of course it adds to your attempts to undermine any suggestion that women and girls (and boys) were horrifically exploited and abused by AMW’s close friends

Well perhaps more information will filter through over the next few days. The whole BBC board is implicated.

The media claims he is MOnica, much has been reported for years of Edward , living for years with Sophie in Buckingham palace, before marriage, shocking , he took over his fathers name and charities , coincidence no doubt

Do you believe that this is just a series of bizarre lies and coincidences designed to bring him down eazybee? Really?

M0nica Mon 03-Nov-25 18:54:20

I've asked this before, and I will ask again. What is the evidence that AMW was his mother's favourite son? People keep saying it, but I have never heard or read anything containing corrobarative evidence this was so.

Anniebach Mon 03-Nov-25 18:51:19

If as we read often Andrew was the late Queen’s favourite son did she protect him ? did she allow him to use the royal yacht for years , I think Charles and Diana did sail on their honeymoon, can’t recall private use only family or royal visits by the Queen
