    Tbh probably the first time a lot of people heard about prince andrew was over this. He just sits on his sofa in his jammies now instead of working.

      i mean prince andrew seems to be doing just fine having literally suffered no consequences…

      But he’d be doing finer if he had the immunity that Donald Trump has.

        He may have had some. His mum was the commander in chief after all. But his brother doesn’t seem to care much.

    Andrew screwed himself with that TV interview, he could likely have weathered it by keeping his mouth shut and just issuing a statement similar to what Donald says, I knew him, found out he was a creep and tossed him out of Mar-a-Lago. I seem to remember at one point an attorney for Guilffre claimed that had he not said he didn’t know or meet her in that TV interview there wouldn’t have been a lawsuit.

    So if he’s seething, it’s his own damn fault.

      Andrew could have probably easily said something like “I didn’t know she was being coerced”. Virginia was of legal age when it occurred.

      The thing is, prince ahole didn’t stop hanging out with after the shit went down. Lil Donny did put some distance in there but Andy went back. The guy just thought he could keep getting away with it forever.

    Look, the man can’t medically sweat (/s), so at least he can play a round of cricket and not need a towel.

    And trump must be seething that he didn’t think of having the police round up anyone who calls him a nonce in public?

      Who?

      Prince Andrew

      What?

      Being outed as a pedo

      Why?

      Because Trump gets to continue being the POTUS, while Andrew has basically been punted from the royal family.

        Technically not legally a paedo as she was just about legal age. But still participated in a sex trafficking ring.

      People, nobody deserves being downvoted for asking some simple questions. I too am not familiar with Prince Andrew.

        They do if making the most cursory of searches would have told them. It’s not like a downvote is a huge punishment either. Just makes pointless questions easier to sort away.

          Searching Prince Andrew doesn’t immediately give you the context and it’s not a pointless question because others (like me) may have the same question and would like to see the answer.

            Then they should use a modicum of energy to find the answer as well, instead of expecting someone to hand them a (correct or not) answer. Might even learn a bit more than the answer to the question.
