Prince Andrew and the Moral Law

Prince A's did himself no favours during that tv interview with EM. The explanation that being too honourable was the reason he stayed 4 days with his friend JE, after JE's conviction for sex offences against minors was astounding. Worse, PA felt the interview had gone well. It says so much about his personality and belief systems. So to address the OP's point about 'moral law', I think we know that PA's view of morality may not be the same as most of us.
He said that if he's asked to cooperate with an interview about his knowledge/friendship with JE, he will consult with his legal team and cooperate if so advised. This morning the DM on line reports that PA say he hasn't been approached by anyone. Whether he has or not, I suspect his legal team would advise him to avoid an interview. They'll have watched his tv interview .......

Prince Andrew’s always been a scumbag! No, a normal family should never have to take responsibility for that, but they’re not a normal family. Surely that’s the whole point isn’t it? If they were, then there’d be even more reason to shelve this institution than there is now.

What is a normal family ?

One not paid for by the British tax payer.

Seems a very harsh attitude endlessstrife - suggesting that unemployed, disabled etc are not ‘normal’ because they’re paid for by British tax payer!

I think Andrew should make himself available fr interview by the FBI, in this country. Allowing himself to be summoned to the US would look too much like an admission of guilt. And we do want to hold onto some measure of respect for our royal family.

Anyway, didn't I read that he had no idea they were asking for him to go out there? Have they submitted a formal request to him, or are they just waiting for him to approach them? Lazy or what!

Just adding a fact , RF cost each taxpayer approx 69p last year .

Pant what are you talking about? The word ‘normal’ was used as an adjective to describe the noun ‘family’. Your post to ‘endless’ made no sense at all

I thought the same Pantglas

I think we all know perfectly well what endlessstrife means by "normal". And I agree with her.

The queen should have told Andrew to cooperate, regardless of what the US does. Instead of attending church with him. If he has done nothing wrong he has nothing to fear.

Some people will misread (deliberately) any post in order to avoid criticising their idols.

Spot on annepl

I don’t know what a normal family is

annepl do tell, what did the queen say to him ?

So suzie a family where parent(s) are unemployed and/or disabled, and on benefits are not ‘normal’? And for the record, I don’t do idols - we all have feet of clay.

The question of moral law hardly arises if we are dealing with PA or indeed with any members of the RF. They are the epitome of influence and privilege. They don't believe anything they do or anyone they are personally involved with can do any wrong. You only have to look at PA's friendship with Epstein and P Charles' letters to Peter Ball, disgraced bishop, to realise they either know what is going on or imagine that because they are so superior no one they know would ever be capable of such things. So they are either morally or intelectually bankrupt.

Pant we are not talking about unemployment or disability. The point is that the RF do not behave like or are treated like the rest of us. If my 59 year old son ( if I had one) was in this position I’d ask myself what I’d done to contribute to such a moral degenerate. I wouldn’t be going to church with him or horse riding ( if I did either). But then an AC of mine wouldn’t be reliant on me either for every penny he had or have garnered suspicious riches from dubious contacts simply because he was my son.

Not everyone has reached your moral high ground suziewoozie

Clearly annie but some occupy such low moral ground that they can’t bring themselves to criticise PA but just bleat that he hasn’t been charged with anything.

Actually I’m more interested in endlessstrife thoughts on ‘normal’ family than yours suz , seeing as it was her post I queried.

I suspect PA is currently thinking things through and wondering "How old was that girl Jeffrey gave me for my birthday? She was 16 wasn't she? Wasn't she?"

Threads don’t work like that Pant Soz

Endlessstrife you don't need to explain. I think Suziewoozie has expkained already.

Anniebach I don't know what she said - you know that! But I am assuming she didn’t tell him to cooperate as he hasn't done so.

Some folk just play silly games on GN.

annepl is it not possible he is taking legal advice.

In a previous life, I had much to do with people who had taken legal advice. It frequently made their ultimate situation worse because legal advice does not address issues of morality.
