@@johnniethepom7545 She lied about her age and encouraged her friends too! It could have happened to anyone, she threw he own friends under the bus too for money! Yeah...really devastated about what went down while bragging to all her friends "I slept with a prince" 😲😍🥰 her own friends said she bragged about it! Little Miss Innocent in all this, simple solution...don't lie about your age and don't encourage others too either.

[@johnniethepom7545]

@harrycallahan9143 Epstein is dead, and Gislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years for multiples of the same and similar offences. Anyone who colluded and took part would almost certainly be convicted . You can't sprinkle magic fairy dust over this, and it all goes away . Virginia Giuffre is recognised as a victim here in Australia. PA was 41 , VG was 17 ,he doesn't sound too Fucken honourable to me m8 . His own daughters were only a few years younger than VG and yet you still seem to give your approval to such lechery, shame on you . £12 M payout , the BRF are notoriously tight with a shilling , and unsurprisingly PA will never set foot in the USA again , he dare not . I sincerely doubt he will ever leave the safety of the British Isles again .

This episode was fascinating in many ways, not least of all the slightly more awkward moments between the two. Very enjoyable to watch people being fairly genuine in these times.

Genuine are you kidding me ? This is a mutual admiration interview " Oh I knew what I had got " Pity they were not so keen on exposing the Rotherham grooming gangs .

The BBC gets a kicking daily in the gutter press and online. It's worth remembering that it is a world class broadcaster with high standards and excellent staff.

Emily was great in the interview... can't believe lady Victoria Hervey bashes Emily as though she forced Andrew to mess up 🤷‍♀️

[@pbohearn]

Excellent context information

[@throwawaysunny9460]

She didn't bring down a member of the Royal Family. Is he in prison? No. Is he still walking around freely? Yes. Achieved absolutely sod all.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

I think she realised just how out of touch he was. He’s a complete narcissist at best.

[@obellinfantie]

That interview was comedy gold 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@khtlon]

Seems nobody brought him down. He's still there, still living his life of the back of a nation who apparently still love him. The British are great at grovelling in front of the royal family regardless. So it seems, Emily affected nothing.

[@mokhot]

He lost his title that’s what they mean

[@khtlon]

@@mokhot Dumping his title was the household's concession to all the baying wolves and seems to have worked. Accepted by all. They were still in control and it allowed him to continue his life with the same degree of freedom and authority. Even a relief one might say from all those annoying duties such as cutting ribbons. A blessing in disguise. He now has a wider freedom to do as he chooses.

How has Andrew been brought down? Settlement paid, trial avoided, and Charles names Andrew as his stand in. His reputation has been tarnished but that’s all. The British public are too busy being offended by anything Meghan does or doesn’t do.
