    It was a disaster of an interview. I really have no idea what the royal PR people were thinking allowing it to happen.

    His PR adviser actually resigned 2 weeks ago once he knew this interview was going ahead.

    Think there be a few lads thrown into the mix to spice things up?

    I don't blame him. Its a monumentally bad idea and could only have come from a mind that has absolutely zero connection with the real world.

    I'm betting that that was Andrew, himself.

    That's explains a lot. I bet the level of relieve they felt after watching that interview must have been massive!

    I watched the full thing last night and got the distinct impression he is not very bright and is not emotionally intelligent.

    Listening to a royal correspondent on BBC R5 and she said he has always had the reputation of being arrogant.

    He's a victim of Britain's caste system.

    My God, thank fúck we don't have to stomach a royal family over here.

    Nothing but a bunch of pompous, entitled freeloaders with a smattering of sexual deviant's in their ranks.

    Can you imagine your taxes paying for the lifestyle of someone like this Andrew fella. Jesus.

    Leo and Micheal D cost a fair bit

    It's bizarre in a way that he could proceed with the interview

    OG anyhow

    Whatever about leo , I agree, the president of Ireland , a small country, rattling around a large desolate mansion in the park, its bleak and lonely in the middle of winter anyway, costing a fortune really is a relic of colonialism, the Presidency costs here really need to be slimmed down.
    Put him in a nice house some where, maybe paid for out of the very generous salary , and use the aras for some other good , Farmleigh could be used for all the formal presidency occasions.

    Prince Andrew

    '' it wasn't me, it was the one armed man, when I came home there was a man in my house, he had one arm, he had sex with those underage girls, find that man!, me I was in Pizza Express''

    WTF

    He's a liar, but he'll get away with it.

    How will it play out

    The queen has approved the whole thing

    Andrew is irrelevant. A pompous oaf. Should be cut free to try and make his own way.

    As he said: no sweat due to 'adrenaline overload' this has all the ingredents and curious toppings for Dave Icke to publish another dozen books, and sell them also.

    What the big deal with HRH the Duke of York bedding suitable 17 year olds, is that not the age of consent ? and in the UK it's 16

    You're forgetting the context : Epstein was trafficking underage girls, making them available to wealthy clients, flying them on his private jet to his luxury resort, effectively a billionaire pimp.

    It's not as if Andrew randomly met the 17 year old at a party : Epstein 'supplied' her to him (apparently it was Epstein who took the now infamous photo).

    Don't think it was the age of consent where Virginia lived. But that's not the point here, in my opinion. Epstein was trafficking girls, girls younger and Virginia when she was younger, girls who were by the nature of the situation vulnerable. It was sexual trafficking and abuse. He was supplying young girls to rich people, he was convicted. It appears Andrew was having sex with a girl trafficked by an abuser.
    Bit different than a bit of a lark with a willing young one on the edge of legal.
    Edit - wrote at same time as Strazdas, that is my understanding also.

    Bizarre.

    Second most cringey moment- after calling Epstein's activities as 'unbecoming' - was saying she couldn't be telling the truth because he wasn't able to sweat at the time.

    Catherine Mayer is after getting interviewed in studio BBC news?

    "Queens children have little real world experience"

    "Andrew not a very bright man at all"


    Interviewer: "Shouldnt we give him some credit"

    Catherine: "No" :D

    It was short but it was the type of interview Id like to see a bit more of on their news. Lots of focus from the BBC on how "ill advised" he was to do the interview.

    What's the issue if they were above the age of consent where they were banging. A 17 year old knows fine well what they are getting into.

    Epstein was trafficking girls as young as 14. Andrew is in trouble for his ten year friendship with a convicted sex offender and pimp : the suggestion is he knew full well what Epstein was doing and was regularly availing of his 'services'.
