"Suggestion of impropriety with minors untrue," says Buckingham Palace after Prince Andrew named in US sex lawsuit

this is surprising if it's true
So the only actual "frontline" he was on was the Falkland Islands? Which helpfully prevented him from sweating for the rest of his life....
Continuous service as you put it is not the same as being in an actual warzone, Prince Harry completed two tours in Afghanistan and killed insurgents. He also helped a serious amount of servicemen and women since with the invictus games.
His military experience also stretched into arms dealing!
No, but there is no need to debate as we will not be able to agree on anything regarding this matter.
Yes, inconveniently for his medal haul, the Falklands was the only War that happened during his active service.
Worth noting that 14 British helicopters were shot down in Falklands operations.
While kudos goes to Harry for the brilliant invictus games, it doesn't matter a fig in terms of this conversation.
the falklands was an actual warzone.
Philip was pretty active during the Second World War, but I'm not sure he even counts at that stage.
The Queen's uncle (George VI's youngest brother) was killed during WW2.
George VI served in WW1, and was in the Battle of Jutland.
Anyone watching Prince Andrew The Musical CH 4 right now?
I'm watching it - can't understand how they got to air it, it's bloody hilarious though.
What channel
Yep - opening number was fabulous
Channel 4 - it's available on all4 as well.
Very good. I had a good laugh watching that .
Ha ha very clever

The poor woman and never got justice
With the best medical care ...I'm sure medical staff will do their their very best to save her life
It really feels like evil is winning in the world lately.
Maybe she will survive either by dialysis or kidney transplant. All is not lost yet.
I had a bit of deja vu there, thinking about the conspiracy theories swirling around about Diana's car crash.
What does Lady Vik know that we don’t? What’s this talk about FBI? Also Virginia is separated from her husband AND children - very strange - there’s more to this than meets the eye going on

The comments following this story in the paper are questioning if she is actually in hospital in that photo...no hospital gown..still has jewellery on and how was she able to post a Instagram being on death's door.....
Yes. I read comments online from nurses/doctors who pointed out that if a person was that ill, that all jewellery would be temoved for scans/xrays and the monitor adhesive pads on the chest would have cables attached. Plus would a person in critical.state be posting selfies to social media ?
I wish her well, but I find it all very bizzare.
I was going to say something about how someone in the US might not be getting proper medical care for money reasons, but I don't think she's short of cash!
I thought she was in Australia? Her father is in America
On the BBC news website reporting on this car accident...it said western Australian police reported a minor collision occurred between a bus and a car on 24 march 2025 ...no injuries reported?
Western Australia Health "nobody fitting that description is in any of our facilities"
The public bus company "we aren't aware of any such serious incidents"
This lady is very seriously mentally ill. That does beg a question. Cause, or effect?
"Seriously mentally ill" sounds a bit extreme. Is that your professional diagnosis, Dr Larbre34? Perhaps she's just high on strong painkillers, and in her already-stressed condition (marriage breakdown, road accident) she's dramatising things and acting out. It's not an unknown phenomenon. It's just most people don't do it on social media or, if they do, they're not newsworthy enough for it to end up into the papers.
(Worth noting that she hasn't said the accident occurred in Perth, or in Australia, and nobody actually knows — or, at any rate, is saying — where she is. So the minor accident north of Perth in which no injuries were reported may not, in fact, be the accident she's talking about.)
With no clear confirmed major serious accident or medical statement from a hospital, it’s a bit of a waiting game. It’s possible this is a personal issue played out on social media - something has gone terribly wrong for her to lose custody of her kids in a divorce battle.
It doesn't make her that credible now in her previous allegations that she came across as very stable at that time...
I was always on the fence on those allegations TBH- I’m no fan of Andrew but whilst his interview was car crash, my own view is only an innocent fool would have sat through that - Andrew is arrogant but he’s also very stupid - had he been lying I think it would have come out there - others differ and that’s perfectly fine. Really, only he and her know what really happened or didn’t happen.
He paid over millions but she had him over a barrel anyway given US legal ways of working so I don’t see that in itself, as proof of his guilt- mammy helped him out and the “problem” went away just before her big shindig. If she was lying, then maybe what we’re seeing now is someone unravelling - it takes a lot for a court to side with a husband in a custody battle so who knows what demons lie within her. Given her sex trafficking experiences she didn’t exactly have a good start to teenage/early adult life
