I would be interested to know what his daughters' remarks and views are of their father, now that this issue has come up! They all seemed pretty tight and close.Had it been my father tossed into the mix of Epstein, I would be devastated.
Considering all Andrew has done for Sarah over the past year does anyone think Sarah should have taken this opportunity to repay him in some small way by offering him public support (I read how Koo Stark did).?
I think she'd have only been giving the story more legs (and more headlines) but some are criticising her for not standing by him when the going got tough.
I think that only works favourably when the person giving the support is held in high regard themself. I think Sarah offering support would only elicit responses of the "two of a kind", "made for each other" sort, which, though perhaps true, would probably not really be helpful to Andrew right now.
I agree. Any sort of support from Sarah right now would have the opposite effect intended. You know, I used to pooh-pooh the idea that Andrew was good to Sarah, in part, because she had "the goods" on him. But now I honestly wonder about that. There could possibly be some truth in that.

I seem to be thinking along the sames lines as yourself. To take this issue to another thought, perhaps Andrew was well aware that Sarah was selling him, after a fashion. I understand as well that Sarah has almost rid herself of the debt she had... I wonder if Mr. Epstein would have been a benefactor in helping bring down that debt!
I do, however, think that the two of them might be more similar, and more suited to each other, than the RF might like or be prepared to admit.
It's generally opposites that attract, but this couple seem to be an exception.
I don't think Sarah "has the goods" on Andrew in the sense of holding him to ransom in some way; I don't think she has a malicious bone in her body. I do, however, think that the two of them might be more similar, and more suited to each other, than the RF might like or be prepared to admit.
The FBI is to reopen its investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein following Mail on Sunday revelations about his sexual exploitation of teenage girls and his links with high-profile individuals, including Prince Andrew.
The Bureau wants to interview Esptein’s former personal ‘masseuse’, Virginia Roberts, after she revealed last week that she was recruited as Epstein’s sex slave when she was just 15.
In other words, he practices a "willing ignorance." Perhaps it's a bit like when family members are in denial about an issue such as alcoholism or some kind of vice. Some people have the ability to completely put things out of mind.
If he did see something he didn't block it out, he ignored it. As the second son; the spare, anything less than a catastrophe will mean he will have all the perks of his title with only a fraction of the responsibilities. I think he thinks himself bulletproof.
If he has in fact broken the law, he's not above the law that he broke. That's the whole point of a constitutional monarchy. If he does claim diplomatic immunity, it'll be seen as a sign that he was aware of things. I think that he should keep a very low profile for awhile, at the very least.
{Emphasis added]One senior Conservative figure who has dealings with the Duke described him as a lonely and misguided figure with poor judgment.
“There appears to be no discernible mental activity,” the senior Tory said. “I feel sorry for him. He has no friends and so is surrounded by these vile people.”
silver_bic, I read that quote too. Whatever Prince Andrew has done, he didn't deserve that. Pathetic. Politicians can sometimes be the nastiest people.
■ The woman at the centre of the claims, Virginia Roberts, said she was prepared to testify to the FBI about her relationship and time ‘alone’ with the duke;
■ It was revealed that two more women were asked under oath if they had ever had sex with Andrew at Epstein’s mansion. Both declined to answer
OK, well....I think we're done here. Perhaps Andrew will be developing a very contagious cold that prevents his presence at a certain Royal event coming up on the 29th of April. A cold with a very long incubation.....
I'm feeling horrible for the girls right now. For all the missteps, they've done nothing horrible, incredibly stupid yes but nothing bad. They'll bear this longer than anyone else.
Diplomatic immunity technically keeps him above the law to a large extent. If he did something in Florida, he'll be barred from the US but he might want to opt for execution considering what his life in the UK will be like.
Duke of Marmalade said:The Yorks certainly are no advertisement for the monarchy, they are both greedy and arrogant and I reckon thats the reason they still hang out together.
If Andrew had been the first born the monarchy would have been on the verse of collapse already.
If Andrew was the first born, he wouldn't have acted in this way because he would have known he had a duty to fulfill.
