parliament already has that right. they are the only body that has that right. Charles just has to ask them.

They should strip titles from the pair in the States while they're at it, clear the decks and move on.

Sarah was constantly hounding Epstein for cash and loans and there's email proof, also in the mails Epstein was getting annoyed 😀😀

The tax payers should be calling for his head at this stage, hes wasted millions literally down the drain

I’d get rid of the whole lot of them. Ridiculous having a royal family. Bunch of freeloading embarrassments.

Ash.J.Williams

Anne, Charles, Edward and Sophie will and kate all work hard at their roles. I think Andrews girls have their heads screwed on and could be brought in

That's it, cut the rest loose and evict them

Not going to happen. We're stuck with them. Feels perverse that someone on the dole gets demonised but these people live in abject luxury and most of the country fawns over them.

The UK isnt a democracy. They're stuck with the royal family regardless of their behaviour.

Leg End Reject

He won't end up on the streets anyway unless he can't afford to maintain the mansion and grounds.

Quite simply, he's a complete bell end

His daughters seem decent though

The RF are becoming less and less relevant ever since Liz died. She was the lynchpin that kept them popular for decades.

If Charles doesn't strip Andrew of his titles and maybe even sling him out of the UK soon it could hurt them in the long run.

Ash.J.Williams

If Charles makes a significant move on on andrew , and william keeps up the cold shoulder oh and if anne keeps being anne ...then the royals will be fine

Im like alan partridge when it comes to anne 😀

I hope you’re not Alan’s friend who battered a man in a pub toilet.

Post reported to the Metropolitan Police's Royalty and Specialist Protection (RaSP) unit🤪

The two in California must be watching closely at all of this.

I reckon the day William takes over (which I predict will be in the next 2 years), the Sussex Duke & Duchess titles are a goner.

Get rid of all the hangers on, sell the privately owned properties like Balmoral or donate them to the state and drastically cut the running costs of the monarchy. It's too archaic and costly to justify.

Or take the money and run. 😂

Yeah . The Harry fella isn't even a royal ,

keeponhurling

I don't see it as Andrew being an annoying embarrassment to the royal family, rather I see them as willing accomplices.

Why should Andrew not be helping the police with their enquiries ? Why not unseal all the documents about Andrew's "state visits" and financial transactions?

The royal family seem happy enough with his silence and stonewalling the US police. Also helping to pay 10million or so to avoid talking about Virginie Giuffre (despite their official line being that he never even met her!). Ultimately that's taxpayers' money.

Who…… young Porchie,

The Andy chap does bare a resemblance to Harry Herbert of Highclere Thoroughbreds.

Allegedly raped by a former prime minister - but only in the US edition - Europe edition just mentions a former minister - plenty of speculation as to who it is online -he’s named repeatedly - not a UK or Irish PM

Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak is the most likely candidate. He visited Epstein at his New York mansion a lot.

Oscar_Madison

That would be commensurate with similar I’ve seen online

Royal finances coming under scrutiny now due to the terms of Andrew's lease.

If Andy does not agree to testify in USA, this committee of victims should name him as I'm quite sure Andy did not limit himself just to Giuffre.

At nearly 70 years of age now, I am wondering why (?) the Andrew witchhunt. Over the decades many members of the royal family have been involved in all sorts of highhanded and questionable, if not quite illegal, behaviour.

We Have had links to every despot on the planet. Links to naziism, links to paedophilia, raucheaus behaviour, affairs etc. Yet Andrew is the only one in lime light.

While all fingers point at Andrew, and all eyes look in that direction, what are we being pointed away from. It must be something big!

Check out Mountbatten, Prince Philip, King Charles etc. All have dubious contacts.

Andrew hasn't actually committed a crime. Yes he has been with a young high class call girls, and had dodgy dealings, but so have many other royals.

Is William trying to remove credibility from those who may just spill the beans on him.

Something isn't quite right.

Peregrinus

The difference is that the climate has changed, especially since the #MeToo movement. Some of what you might have got away with in the past, you don't get away with today. Some members of earlier generations of royals might have had the good fortune to die before the #MeToo movement came along; Andrew is still with us. He's not the only person to be judged today behaviour he engaged in years or even decades ago, that at the time was tacitly accepted. He's just the only royal in that position.

And it's not necessarily true to say that . . .

Andrew hasn't actually committed a crime.

If he has done what Virginia Giuffre alleged, then he had sex with an underage girl who was trafficked into the United Kingdom as a sex worker. That's a crime, and an extremely serious one. Off the top of my head I can't think of any other royal in the past century or so who has been accused of something like this.

cap.in.hand.

Virginia guiffre was a guest of Maxwell and Epstein in London at Maxwell's own house....Andrew was also a guest at Maxwell's house... Andrew knew Maxwell long before Epstein hooked up with Maxwell so it's hard to prove it was a sex trafficking event of a 17 year old girl and maybe Andy not expecting anything to happen that evening but when it's handed to you on a platter...it's hard to resist ...hard to know who's at fault then .... But from then on Andy enjoyed the benefits of being in the company of Maxwell and Epstein.

Would think Trump is pleased to see such heat on Andrew around Epstein/Giuffre as it deflects temporarily from him.

There are allegations that Lord Moutbatten was an abuser of young boys. Obviously, there's nothing in the way of ironclad concrete evidence that could be used for a conviction but it's yet another damning indictment of this vile institution.

A new book has raised fresh claims that Queen Elizabeth II's cousin, Lord Mountbatten, sexually abused and raped multiple young boys at a children's home before his death in 1979.

Lord Mountbatten, known as Dickie, was linked to the Kincora Boys' Home in Belfast by former resident Arthur Smyth, who named Prince Philip's uncle as his alleged abuser in 2022, as part of legal action against institutions in Northern Ireland for breach of duty of care and negligence.

And in 2019, a secret dossier compiled by the FBI on British statesmen during World War Two and the Suez Crisis described King Charles' uncle and valued mentor as a 'homosexual with a perversion for young boys', which made him an 'unfit man to direct any sort of military operations'.

Now a new book by journalist Chris Moore, Kincora: Britain's Shame - Mountbatten, MI5, the Belfast Boys' Home Sex Abuse Scandal and the British Cover-Up, details allegations from four previous residents of the home against the aristocrat including Smyth, who has labelled the godfather of King Charles, the King of Paedophiles.
