Andrew

[hessian]

I'm not making excuses for anything Andrew may/may not have done but why are the US courts pursuing him yet issue retrospective Diplomatic Immunity to a US citizen who reportedly killed a young Englishman when she was driving on the wrong side of the road?

[Barsel]

He wasn't well advised when he did that interview, so perhaps he thinks it's a better idea to keep quiet.

[andres]

If the photo of her and Prince Andrew is genuine then she certainly doesn't look like a person under duress. Far from it !

Barsel - // He wasn't well advised when he did that interview, so perhaps he thinks it's a better idea to keep quiet. //

If he was advised that an interview was the way to clear his image, than the person advising him needs to be fired, if they have not already.

From my experience of Andrew in public, and in the media, I wouldn't trust him to walk my dog around the block.

For someone to imagine that he could handle an interview with a professional journalist who spends her professional time eviscerating politicians - a breed for whom thinking on their feet is a career prerequisite - is seriously out of touch with what is actually going on here.

Andrew's lawyers are absolutely terrified of the FBI getting him a room, where he can say anything beyond his name, with absolutely good reason.

But that is not required here - a simple statement from his legal team denying everything is all that's needed to keep things quiet, at least for now.

Any civil action must await the conclusion of any criminal investigation, so this civil case will be dormant for years - which is why a simple denial of its veracity remains such a strange and potentially damaging decision.

Staying silent makes Andrew look guilty, and when you are part of an organisation that relies on the goodwill of the people to the extent that the Royal Family does, that is not a sensible position in which to put yourself.

[Barsel]

Andy I believe his daughter Beatrice (poss) was instrumental in persuading him to do the interview.
Obvious mentality given who her parents are.

[ynnafymmi]

Apart from her royal majesty and Bigears and Wills,the rest of of the Royal Family can go and(stuff themselves)or(find a proper job).We need some kind of royal leadership in the UK,but once Her Beautiful Majesty goes to join her beloved Phil there has to be some kind of consensus regarding the minor royals

[Barsel]

ynnafymmi I have no doubt that Prince Charles will be making a lot of changes if he becomes King.
I can't see him standing for any messing about.

[Deskdiary]

Prince Andrew seems like quite a dislikable bloke, but it’s more likely than not that this woman is not telling the truth about being forced to have sex with him, and that this is in fact a money play.

There will be absolutely zero evidence.

I know this will upset the sisterhood who believe the ‘victim’ should automatically be believed, but I don’t believe she was forced for a second.

[Gromit]

// There will be absolutely zero evidence. //

I reckon there will be loads of evidence. When phone and GPS data is calculated. We will know where Andy was and when. And all the other players.

[ynnafymmi]

@15.41.I think the photo will be the acid test of this case.Was it taken before or after the alleged incident?If afterwards,the lady involved might find herself in a whole lot of bother.

[Jackdaw33]

Just a society hooker trying to screw a few bucks out of the rich and famous.

[andres]

The photo was taken in March 2001 on the night she says that she and Prince Andrew had sex.

[Peter Pedant]

Shame posts are not removed for being the dullest answers in Christendom eh AH?

[naomi24]

Oh I think it does count. The box headed ‘pure stupidity’ covers it.

[Peter Pedant]

Hi Andie
seems more like a random process to me ( flip of coin), throw of die

Did I miss out -Andie is not obliged to discuss his defence if any on tel?

I did? sozza
