Prince Andrew’s alibi....

Those to annie

EllanVannin What exactly did you mean by:

"I'm sure he'd remember his nights with a few Tramps Annie."?

I do not think I could remember exactly how we celebrated each of our children's birthdays 20 after they happened. I might remember that we celebrated a birthday wth a pizza or a visit to a circus, but I would not remember which birthday. Was it the 7th birthday or the 8th. And that would be even more true for parties DC attended as guests.

However, if you are the kind of person who has a private secretary or private office, then all your official appointment diaries will be kept, not just chucked out at the end of the year like most of us. Personal engagements would probably be registered as well to stop double bookings.

All PA has to do is produce his appointment diary for the relevant year and show us the entry on the relevant day. It may not note exactly where he was, but it would register that was Princess B/E's birthday, taking her and friends out 3.00pm onwards.

I thought it was a friends birthday party

It was a friend's birthday party, I would expect that Bea had more upmarket birthday parties than at Pizza Express ,like the rest of us.
Would they not have done something else first eg bowling, the cinema. It seems odd to just have gone for a pizza.

If taking your daughter to a birthday party why take her to buy a pizza, surely he didn’t drop her off at the party then went to buy a pizza for himself.

Was the party not AT Pizza Express?
Sorry, I seem to be as confused as PA by all this!

He as confused everyone

I thought the party was one of B's friends' birthday parties and held AT Pizza Express and he took her there.

To be fair, I would particularly remember if I took my daughter to a party at Buckingham Palace as that would be incredibly unusual for me , so as the Pizza Ex at Woking is out of his social zone, he is more likely to remember that. But perhaps I am being too kind .....

I think they lived in Southyork at the time, you know that house that looked like a Tesco, bought at an inflated price by a Middle Eastern gentleman and now demolished.

HM gave it to them as a wedding present.
Then they left it to rot.

Sunninghill Park?
