Fresh questions for Prince Andrew over friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein - Telegraph

Weekly phone calls now...

Does anyone think Andrew will issue a statement at all? Does anyone think Andrew really didn't suspect what was going on?

KittyAtlanta · #82 03-03-2011, 05:29 PM

I think his ego will insist that he issue a statement and I believe he really DID know what was going on. He should have known better. On another note, I don't care what he does in his spare time, as long as he is not torturing puppies and kittens. He's a grown up and can do as he pleases, but consequences do tend to catch up.

Or turning a blind eye to friends who have an unhealthy interest in young girls?

I don't know how he could have avoided seeing the naked pictures of young girls in Epstein's house, assuming that the source is telling the truth about the pictures being "everywhere."

Exactly. Puppies and Kittens are terms I often use for little boys and girls.

Prince Andrew vows to end friendship with billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein | Mail Online

At last common sense prevails. I also hope Andrew has nothing more to do with Ghislaine Maxwell, I don't know why but she seems like trouble, don't like the sound of her at all.

Roslyn · #87 03-04-2011, 06:07 PM

I always love the way people behave, and the terms of the statements they make, when they have been caught doing something they really enjoy doing and don't want to stop doing but are told by their keepers that they have to stop doing it because there is no way they can be allowed to continue doing it now everyone knows they're going it, because it is affecting their reputation/their credibility/the monarchy/whatever.

Mermaid1962 · #88 03-04-2011, 06:16 PM

Oh, I see. I thought you meant...errrr...puppies and kittens.

She's Epstein's pimp. Plain and simple. And that's nasty. PA would do well to put as much distance between them as possible.

Would have been interesting

to have been a fly on the wall in HM's office when she got this latest news!

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.

I'm sure it makes very unpleasant reading for Beatrice and Eugenie.
I agree they all seem close and I hope Andrew has had a talk with them and gave them any assurances they need.
As difficult as it is the girls were born into the public eye, and they have grown up with their parents getting negative attention, and maybe you do develop a think skin after a while. Maybe you have to.

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.

Mermaid1962 · #95 03-05-2011, 04:11 PM

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!

No sign of it going away yet.

Cabinet fears over Prince Andrew's trade role - Telegraph

There are increasing worries at the most senior level of Government that the Duke's links to an American sex offender could severely damage his reputation as a flag-waver abroad for British business.

The meeting with Sir Jon Cunliffe, David Cameron's most senior adviser on Europe and business, followed initial disclosures over the Duke's links with Jeffrey Epstein, who served a prison sentence for soliciting an under-age girl for prostitution.

Details of the Whitehall talks on Tuesday came as The Sunday Telegraph learnt there is disquiet at the highest level of the Government over the Duke's role with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI).

It would explain why the man can seem so utterly whipped. There are plenty of divorced couples that remain on excellent terms, this relationship has looked quite strange at times.

Andrew paid off the majority of it himself.
