Prince Andrew, Duke of York, named in underage 'sex slave' lawsuit

[bluescreen]

Looks like it's something his US lawyers have come up with, rather than him.





I doubt he has been questioning 'the sister of one of Giuffre’s ex-boyfriends', so must be the US lawyers.

Indeed. But a normal person has some kind of control over their lawyers and what gets put forward as a defence.

It's as if they can't see the way their middle-aged-men fantasies are projected large on the screen for everyone to see.

Speak for yourself.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Has he and his team any idea of how the above is perceived?

No. They live in a rarefied world where the little people are of no concern, except as staff and playthings and subjects of exploitation.

There's an issue with the ski chalet, he was getting sued by the people who sold it to him as he hadn't paid in full French socialite revealed as former friend suing Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York for £6.7 million owed on Swiss ski chalet
Also him and Fergue bought it on a mortgage, not cash, so even if sold the mortgage gets paid first.

Does make one wonder where his alleged fortune come from, I expect he's moving assets out of his name as we speak...

If they bought it on a mortgage wouldn't their bank or building society pay the old owners?

Why would the lender dole out money to someone they don't have a contractual agreement with?

i think you missed the point. when you by a property with a mortgage you dont actually ever see the money do you?, the mortgage company pay the money directly to the seller, or at least via your solicitor.

it wasn't all financed with a mortgage. Queen lobbed in some money and I believe there was still a shortfall which is the bit he never paid and which he is being sued for.

Do you not need provable assets or income to even get a mortgage? Or is that just for us little people?

The Verbier place was half paid on mortgage and the other half to be paid later, but the old welcher never coughed up so the former owner started proceedings to recover the cash, seems he flogged it to pay her off, which would also pay off the bank and afaik there's some left over.

 

[Chilli.s]

'Fraid so. That's how MPs get all those property deals when they leave the commons. They don't trot down to lloyds/barclays and fill in a big form. Coutts and the like do their loans.

The court papers quote Crystal Figueroa, the sister of one of Giuffre’s ex-boyfriends

Totally agree, I was only answering the question - How would he know I thought he claimed to have never met her?

Certainly not defending the nonce in anyway.

Perhaps he got ma to act as guarantor

A normal person doesn't suggest this sort of thing to their lawyers

I think he's gone full 'US-litigator-gloves-off.' He knows he's lost in the court of public opinion, but will do whatever it takes to avoid an enforceable judgement ageist him in these proceedings

he has now innit?

Must be another example of him being “just too honourable sometimes” or whatever it was he blurted out in that interview.

Prince Charles has summoned his courtiers and demanded 'will no one rid me of this turbulent prince?'

He's as honourable as the day is long. Which isn't saying much at this time of year

 

[Pickman's model]

We should start a book on the next member of the royal family to die. Prince Andrew has just thrust himself up the list, the odds on him seeing Xmas 2022 must be lengthening. In the past Prince Philip would have handled things as he did with prince John, princess Margaret and of course Diana but now they'll have to get someone else in to mastermind the assassination

Still 51 days until we reach 'rock bottom'

Perhaps Andrew could be buried alive at sea above the Mariana trench, because deep down he's a good person

Fair enough. That explains it.

I don't think I did

If Maxwell points the finger at him that will be compelling evidence. She may claim coercion from her dead ex and a difficult upbringing etc and throw shit about.

If Maxwell points her finger at him, the Prince will send round a chap with a bone-saw to chop it off.

Then your post makes no sense!

The wording of his royal nonceness’s lawyers’ statements is appalling, but they won’t have been his own personal words.

That said, he will presumably have had a look before they went ahead with them, so he is culpable in that sense.

Judging by the car crash Maitlis interview where he expressed not a jot of sympathy for Epstein’s (and his?) victims, I can fully understand why he would’ve felt there was nothing wrong with the victim blaming. Slutty, money-grubbing lower classes bothering him unnecessarily - what a crashing bore.

It’s almost as if being born into a life of unimaginable privilege and luxury would tend towards some kind of sociopathy …

“Money hungry sex kitten.”

“Head bitch.”

That is what Queen Elizabeth II’s money has paid US lawyers to say on behalf of her favourite son about a woman who was sexually abused as a child.

Lovely.
