The Family Bailing Out The Duke

[naomi24]

//Prince Charles ‘will lend Duke of York millions to settle sex assault claim’…. The financial deal is understood to exceed £12 million, including £2 million contribution to Ms Giuffre’s sex trafficking charity thought to have been paid by the Queen.//

It was previously reported that any payment would go to charity, but as many suspected that wasn't true. Virginia Giuffre is receiving a huge settlement.

Since there can be no way back for Andrew as a working royal, will he go to live abroad abroad with Sarah now … effectively disappearing into oblivion? I think it likely.

NAOMI, the Mirror report was only the day after the settlement had been announced so the sums, if accurate, should be no surprise to you.

[naomi24]

I didn't say I'm surprised. I'm only surprised that anyone ever thought that any settlement would go solely to charity.

[anneasquith]

He is a credit to his mother sure enough .

[youngmafbog]

Of course all of this, including amounts both to the woman and 'charity' are pure speculation.

Randy Andy is finished though, banished somewhere without an extradition treaty in case the woman runs out of brass and wants more I would suspect.

Hopefully once the Queen has passed that will be the end of them all.

[anneasquith]

One can only hope .

[youngmafbog]

There, we agree on something Anne! :-)

[archibaldy]

Do the crime, pay the dime, I won't miss him and I don't think any royal apart from the Queen adds anything to this country, shut it all down when she sadly passes - they had a good run. Shame all that hush money is going abroad though and not to a good old fashioned English money grabber.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah foo - The prince of wales cd actually BUY the chalet and then he wd be Challit Charlie

Jesus £12m is a lorra lu-lu

at lease when I get mine out, I dont wave it around....( and er show people)

// I don't think any royal apart from the Queen adds anything to this country//

I do. William and Kate in particular are fine ambassadors for this country, and their efforts to help maintain the morale of the country throughout the dark days of the pandemic were admirable.

[anneasquith]

:-). To my new pal .

[anneasquith]

No member of the royal family maintained my morale during the pandemic. Lol

[naomi24]

Not easy to boost the morale of a serial moaner, anne. ;o)

[anneasquith]

Lol now that is funny from you Naomi .

[naomi24]

Yeahhh! There you go. I cheered you up. :o)))

[pat2604]

I hope he does and I hope they have a good life together. I still maintain my very low opinion of the woman and I think that anyone with a brain wouldn't be taken in with the charity situation.

Andrew was just plain stupid. But I wish him well.

[andres]

AN already rich, highly paid prostitute is probably rubbing her hands together and wondering who she can extract more money from next . There must be dozens of well-known, rich men because Andrew wouldn't have been the only one.

[anneasquith]

Andres, do you believe Andrew is innocent ?

[douglas9401]

Just pondering why the 'great and the good' felt the need to slum it back in the day.

A mental condition no doubt, exacerbated by fluid retention and little prospect of rising to the top in the family company.

[pat2604]

Anne, I think the same as Andres. All I think Andre is guilty of is behaving very badly like a lot of other rich men and rather stupidly hooking up with a hooked who may have been groomed but not by Andrew. He acted stupidly especially in his position. She knew what she what she was doing and was paid well to do it. What was Andrew guilty of??

[pat2604]

Hooking up with a hooked!
