    It is not advertised on BBCNI, but I checked listings, it is on. If you have satellite you should get it on the BBC general broadcast.

    Sorry if asked already but long thread:

    1) In the Prince Andrew interview, he was asked had he recently met Ghislaine Maxwell, and he said that he had earlier this year. He was asked whether he had discussed Epstein, but said no, as it hadn't been in the news at the time.

    But given all the questions relating to whether the famous photo with him, the accuser, and Maxwell is fake or not, and given the fact that the photo has been in the public domain since 2011 I think, why would he say he thinks the photo might be fake, or doesn't recall being upstairs, when all he had to do was ask Maxwell earlier this year if she recalls the photo? (I know that if he had and she said yes, it wouldn't help him, but I am surprised the BBC interviewer didn't ask this specific question).


    2) If in Pizza express, which was a rare thing to do as he says himself, surely there are loads of ex. pizza express staff that will recall the day Prince Andrew strolled in with his kids. And presumably a few photos as well. Where are they?

    Age of consent laws are lower in some countries but usually there are laws regarding the age gap, this is so teenagers having sex with each other are fine, but older adults having sex with teens is recognised as probably exploitative. Young adults are easy to manipulate by predators, which is what I'd describe a middle aged man or woman targeting teenagers for sex.

    You might feel that a person of 18 is over the age of consent and therefore there is nothing wrong with them having sex with a rich, more powerful, person in their 50's, but I don't agree. Sure it's not illegal, but the power and experience of the older person means the younger one is at an immediate disadvantage and is vulnerable to exploitation, usually without realising it.

    There is a universe of difference between two 16 year olds having sex, and a 16 year old in a sexual relationship with a person decades older where they are at a major disadvantage in terms of age, experience and wealth, and lacking the options those things confer on the other person.

    Noting those things doesn't make someone a prude or anti-sex.


    Towards the part in bold,you are being very condescending. And I am saying this as a man who has dated older women at that age.

    I think everyone accepts at this stage that the BBC interview was a total "car crash" and he took a massive risk denying the encounter. His tack at the time was a flat denial, that has not worked.

    “While the exercise was conducted properly, we regret any misunderstanding this may have caused.”

    There has been a huge circling of the wagons by the Royals of late.

    I think the fact that a woman who tried to sell access to him for money is his last supporter says it all really. Horrible people.

    Well the US prosecutors arent giving up, they still want to interview him and are now calling him out on his public statements that he would offer all help and co-operation to the Epstein investigation
    Prince Andrew has become embroiled in a war of words with US prosecutors investigating the disgraced financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

    Lawyers for the Duke of York issued a statement on Monday accusing the American investigators of misleading the public and breaching their own confidentiality rules in their handling of the inquiry.

    Blackfords, the London-based criminal law specialists, alleged in a strongly worded two-page statement that the US Department of Justice (DoJ) had effectively rejected three offers of help volunteered by the prince this year.

    The firm noted that the DoJ had “advised us that the duke is not and has never been a ‘target’ of their criminal investigations into Epstein” and that they had instead sought his confidential, voluntary cooperation.

    Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, responded by publicly accusing Andrew of trying to “falsely portray himself to the public as eager and willing to co-operate” and said a request to schedule an interview had been repeatedly declined.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Also quote from the BBC Royal Editor
    Speaking this morning, Witchell told BBC Breakfast that Andrew's 'specialist' lawyers would be 'attempting to control the process' by 'limiting the scope' of the US investigation.

    'I think we may reasonably assume that the US attorney wants a face to face meeting with Andrew here in the UK, in which he could ask him face to face an unlimited array of questions,' he said. 'Well now, we only have to think back to the Newsnight interview to see what happens when Andrew faces unlimited, untrammelled questions.

    'So I think it is reasonable to suppose that his specialist British lawyers are attempting to control the process. They may also be insisting - please send your questions in writing and we will respond.'

    Andrew resigned from 'public duties' in the wake of the Newsnight interview last November, in which he denied any wrongdoing but defended his friendship with Epstein as 'seriously beneficial'.

    Yeah Id say the Firm are fuming about the whole debacle, especially as Andrew brought all this on himself with that disastrous interview with Emily Maittlis. You'd also wonder is there more to come with whatever was on Epsteins computers and phones, its probable the FBI know a lot more than what is in the public domain.

    Its not surprising then that Andrew is running a mile from doing a face to face interview with them, he and his lawyers are thinking they wlll pounce on him mid interview with some damning evidence of him, Epstein and the paedo ring. In an interview he could quickly go from someone just helping their investigation to being a suspect under arrest. Needless to say the US wont be on his list of places to go for the rest of his life.

    All that said he is a royal who travels under a diplomatic passport and any attempt to arrest him would cause a diplomatic crisis between the UK and the US. It wont be happening unless some completely damning evidence were to emerge, like a video tape.

    My thinking is Epstein did, they tore his places apart to find the evidence, got it, destroyed it, then had him "suicided" in his cell.

    I doubt she would still be alive or in public if she had copies. Not even the papal guard would keep her alive if they knew she had a copy.
    The little black book didn't list any really surprising names, they are fairly well all known to be either perverts or connected through the "modelling" business, but between them, they could rustle up enough cash to get a hit on just about anyone.
    That's just the millionaires and billionaires without bringing The Donald into the mix and wondering how far he could stretch a finger of death leaving no trace.

    I don't think us officials normally interview people or witness, s to certain crimes outside the USA. Since they have no proof he committed a crime they can't force him to give evidence in a trial or to be interviewed. They are going public with the info, eg he has not cooperated
    in giving evidence or being interviewed by American officials about epstein
    IF he stays out of America he can just avoid the
    American legal system.
    So now he has no public role or dutys as a member of the Royal family.
    It looks bad for him . Eg epstein had 12 of his phone nos, he spent 3 days in epstein house
    in New York. He was obviously close friends with epstein its not like he could not afford to stay in a hotel while he was in New york
    His charity has closed down recently
    I think the interview he did on the BBC was a disaster , it drew more attention to his friendship
    with epstein

    There are two chances of the UK extraditing the Queen's son.

    Even if he needed to go to the US, he would be given whatever diplomatic titles are required to keep the feds away from him.

    He will slip away from whatever he did. He'll live out the rest of his life with little media attention, another stain on the Royal family that they conveniently ignore. After he dies the truth will come out.

    The only way Andrew will ever face any real consequences or have to face any questions is if the monarchy is dissolved. And that's not happening, not even if Wales, Scotland and NI leave the union.

    Plot twist, seems there is a legal mechanism for Andrew to be interviewed in the UK and the Americans want to pursue it
    In the face of apparent stonewalling, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) is now seeking help from the UK government. It has made a formal request, known as a mutual legal assistance treaty submission, to get access to Andrew. The prince’s advisers have not confirmed this. The request opens up various legal scenarios, all of them potentially hugely embarrassing for the royal family.

    There is no prospect of Andrew being flown back to the US in handcuffs. The US attorney general, William Barr, made this clear in a Fox News interview. But Andrew may be compelled to appear as a witness in a UK court. Under the terms of the treaty, officials could interview him on behalf of US prosecutors. Viewed from London, neither option looks especially appealing. Or as one source put it to the Sun: “It’s a diplomatic nightmare.”

    It would have been better PR to throw him to the sharks from the beginning and condemn the behaviour of all involved.

    The "nothing to see here" approach may very well backfire.

    He no longer has any royal dutys, its possible more detailed evidence will come out as there's more legal cases in America. Its strange he denys meeting a young woman who claims she had sex with him. There's a photo published in many papers showing him standing next to her.
    I think this case is past the point of the Royal family being embarrassed. He was friends for a long time with Epstein even after Epstein was a convicted pedophile the friendship continued.
    I think what will happen is Andrew will agree to be interviewed by some American official in the UK to put some end to this I think he has no wish to go back to America
    for obvious reasons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Not sure he would want to be interviewed for fear he could implicate himself in a crime. Lets not forget he was a regular visitor to Epsteins mansion in New York which by all accounts was a party venue packed with young girls walking around half naked. Of course Andrew says he didnt see them but we all know that to be rubbish.

    After Andrew thinking that his BBC interview with Emily Matlis went well, anyone with half a brain in the Palace knows to keep him well away from detectives for as long as possible. The BBC, national Broadcaster, a pet interviewer and a list of pre-prepared, soft questions and still he couldn't help the stupid lies he came out with that dug him in the hole deeper.

    Andrew, by all accounts, is an insufferable arrogant royal who genuinely believes because he's a prince he's above the law, above scrutiny and how dare us peasants challenge his word. Half an hour with even a novice interrogator would give them so much information. Probably what's in the public domain is the very tip of the iceberg so could easily bring down the monarchy.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    The civil case in New York against Andrew is still proceeding though. There is no concrete start date yet but its been speculated it could begin in June which would coincide with the Queens birthday and Platinium Julibee that celebrates her 70 years on the throne. The Royal Family are planning a huge celebration for it with tons of celebrities booked to perform at a concert in her honour at the start of June. There is also gong to be an extra public holiday for everyone in the UK to recognise it and the government are promoting it as a four day celebration "with a once-in-a-generation show that will mix the best of British ceremonial splendour and pageantry with cutting edge artistic and technological displays".

    If Andrews case in New York does go ahead in June it will be very awkward for the Royal Family. On the one hand we'll see a massive celebration for her in the UK with him skulking around in the background and then on the other hand we'll see testimony from Virgina Guiffre accusing Andrew of being a paedophile. The timing of it could be an absolute PR disaster for the Royal Family and the problem for them is this four day celebration is on the Queens birthday, they cant move it.
