It appears beyond doubt that Prince Andrew was a regular visitor to Epstein who was well-known for hosting sex parties with girls like Giuffre on the menu. Prince Andrew was photographed with Giuffre at Maxwell's house. It is a matter of fact that Epstein admitted to, and was convicted of, procuring underage girls for prostitution.

How many people do you know who are notorious procurers of underage girls for prostitution? I'm sure it's none, but if you did know one, would you go to his house and cuddle young girls? Would you go to his house for 4 days after he came out of jail for procuring underage girls for prostitution?

You are, of course, perfectly entitled to believe Prince Andrew did no wrong. But we are entitled to question your judgement of what is proper, or right, or legal, based on your stated opinions. For what it's worth, I think you are being deliberately obstructive just for reasons of BE sport. I don't actually think that you, as a parent to young women, believe that Prince Andrew's behaviour is anything other than abhorrent and obscenely entitled.

I suggest we leave it there.

Royal/Celeb that's a bit bent; not the first and probably not the last. Human failings don't discriminate along class lines.

Tomorrow is going to be absolute hell. Already I am bombarded by emails and txts mocking me for the latest, grossest, British stupidity. "You're getting Mourinho" they say. I almost wish I worked in a place where people knew who Don Cherry is and didn't know Daniel Levy is.

I'm afraid they do.
Joe public accused of visiting a pimp to meet young lady and the rozzers interrogate pimp and Joe ends up in clink.
Royal accused of visiting pimp to meet young lady and rozzers mysteriously let pimp hang himself.

Joe public and the Royal share the same human failing. Not the same thing as inequality under the legal system.

I wonder if HRH Prince Andrew will be escorting Trump when he visits the UK in 2 weeks time? He might find himself unexpectedly visiting the Falklands to check on the pheasant population. I dont suppose he would suffer any adrenaline problems.

I think it's about a dozen or so organisations now who have cut ties with him.

I don't recall reading accusations of bondage too. :lol:

This is one of those stories that makes me hate the world, so I have tried not to pay too much attention. I only found out yesterday that Ghislaine Maxwell is Robert Maxwell’s daughter. Prince Andrew is not the only one warped by his family circumstances perhaps.

(on a side note I would very much like to apply to be a ‘socialite’, does anyone know where vacancies are advertised? I promise not to be corrupted.)

The yacht, off which Maxwell fell, was the Lady Ghislaine.

Aye, your point accepted, I contributed that others had failings that were influenced by class standing of others.

Oh you!

The oh so honourable prince couldn't even tell the truth about when he met Epstein. If he lied about something like this in the interview, I don't think it's unreasonable to suspect he may have lied about other things. He was very specific about meeting Epstein in 1999 through his girlfriend.

A letter written to the Times newspaper by Buckingham Palace has cast doubt on when the Duke of York first met convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The 2011 letter says they met in the early 1990s, not in 1999 as Prince Andrew said in his BBC interview.
