M0nica AMW has done. While he was just indulging in a familiar male pattern of hoaring around with what ever was supplied.

M0nica, what a thing to say.

Not a view of male behaviour I share.

Monica, please stop and think, only a small minority of men pay for sex, most of them do so discretely, it's not something that adds to your reputation even with male friends.

Inviting the into you own home and ordering staff to escort an obvious sex worker in is well beyond the pale, because they loose all respect for you.

It's a view of one aspect of it that still goes on.

It's an assumption that most men are like that which was surprising.

Well, I have friends with that surname so yes, it still exists.

The misspelling is quite disturbing too.
Presumably the word was meant to be "whoring". That is not a trait I recognise in my menfolk either.

Hoare is a well-known British/Irish surname.

Not like you, M0nica, I'm surprised.

Chatter on Facebook about would Andrew now move abroad, if he gets the 'all clear'?
I wonder if his overseas 'friends' would still be interested, now that he has very little 'clout'?

Mollygo Mon 23-Feb-26 21:14:26

I gather you don’t like SF but I’m interested to know how you know that she is is someone with no limits to the depths theywill not descend to get money or power.

Maremia Mon 23-Feb-26 20:45:09

That was a shocking and disgusting detail.

M0nica Mon 23-Feb-26 19:41:07

I have no doubt that if Epstein had been taken by either of the Pricesses, SF would not have put any obstacles in his way. The Princesses would, of course, have wills of their own, to make their own decisions.

But when a woman can talk of her daughters to Epstein in the way she did 'One Princess was off on a shagging weekend' she is is someone with no limits to the depths theywill not descend to get money or power.

Maremia Mon 23-Feb-26 18:12:04

Think is with the same wording as the arrest of AMW.

Mandleson arrested this afternoon.

Maremia Mon 23-Feb-26 17:22:25

Implied is not the same as stated.

Smileless2012 Mon 23-Feb-26 17:07:27

No that wasn't what was being implied as you say Mollygo which is why the post was so distasteful.

In MOnica's defence, at Epstein's request, SF got one of her daughters to show his friends around the Palace. This may have happened more than once.
This information is in one of those appalling files.

That’s not what was implied.

I very much doubt that VG would have had any knowledge what so ever of A's more extensive business and private dealings with Epstein M0nica, and as for your suspicion that given the chance SF would probably have been prepared to sacrifice her D's to Epstein, of all the ridiculous posts I've seen on threads about this, yours really does take the prize for being the most distasteful.

Well put.

Do you remember that daft programme with a comedian (I forget her name) where she looked around the house and into SFs dressing room drawers etc.

I think it was Ruby Wax and the house was one in Surrey that Fergie rented shortly after her divorce.

Certainly a daft and pointless programme.

He had a large house gifted to him by the Queen and later sold on at an inflated price. (That is something else that needs looking at)

Ah yes, Sunninghill Park aka Southyork. A Kazakh oligarch and son-in-law of a former Kazakh president paid £15 million for it, over the asking price for some reason. 🤔

It was demolished because it fell into disrepair. He built a bigger place but never lived in it.
What a total waste of money.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 23-Feb-26 12:10:04

Apparently it has never been lived in since the sale. It was sold to the Azerbaijani President I think.

Bizarre

Iam64 Mon 23-Feb-26 12:04:18

Whitewave - yes. It was if memory serves, sold to a Sheik for 3 million over value. I wonder if that coincided with him being trade envoy

Anniebach Mon 23-Feb-26 12:03:05

The late queen gave Anne, Edward and Andrew a gift of their houses, Charles bought High grove

I do not think AMW has much in assets to reclaim. He owns no property has no independent income bar his naval pension and state pension from the time he was in the navy, when he paid NICS. About £27,000 in total. Any money he inherited has gone in paying off VG.

Whether you believe AMW's denial of having sex with her or not, I think the huge payment she received as settlement was actually to buy her silence on all AMW's more extensive business and private dealings with Epstein more than stories of his sexual shenanigans. Now all these are being revealed and we are seeing the conseuences the revelations are having both privately and publicly. The cost of buying her silence makes sense.

Personally, I think the behaviour of SF in relation to Epstein is far more toe curling and embarrassing than anything AMW has done. While he was just indulging in a familiar male pattern of hoaring around with what ever was supplied. We have SF practically grovellling at Epstein's feet, and, I suspect, if given the chance, probably prepared to sacrifice her daughters to him. Or perhaps it was because that ever since she entered the public eye she has so often plumbed ever deeper depths of crass vulgarity than anyone could imagine or predict, that even the Epstein revelations do no longer shock us.

I continue to be somewhat perplexed by your constant minimisation of A and his behaviour. You must know some very odd men if that’s your view of a ‘familiar male pattern’. What you really mean is it’s familiar for a certain type of rich pampered entitled spoilt badly brought up male. . And yet on other posts you insist the RF are a family just like other families. Really? As for SF the idea that she is worse is typical misogyny. They are both appalling but he was supposed to have a duty to the country that she was never brought up with. He also lied on national television - but I suppose in your world that’s typical male behaviour as well.
