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

I'm sure if he ever gets a settlement of any kind against him, he'll be heading off to Saudi or some other regime that isn't that worried about accepting (rich) sex offenders.

His problem is always been that despite his expensive tastes, he isn't rich. He just gets pocket money from his mum. As to safe regimes, there is nowhere safer for him than here.

It's safe, legally, just about zero chance of extradition even if the yanks ever wanted to get him in a criminal court. More problematic with having a prying press and others who will follow his every move. As you say, he's short of brass, but I suspect charlie or the bald one won't be as keen to fund him living his lifestyle if he keeps swanning around and showing them up over here. Perhaps they'd like to give him a 'settlement' and kick him out? All dressed up and rerouted so it isn't called 'prince nonce settlement from the public purse' of course.

I was about to say the nonce will have run out of money raising options after a trial, assuming his mam is dead by then. Same time, there's always some business cunt/newspaper publisher/UKIP 'grandee' who will step forward to amaze you as to the depravity of the human soul.
 
Is the book Fall: The Mystery of Robert Maxwell any good? Much of the intelligence agency type side of things in it?
 
I understand the mortgage and debt on chalet has now been settled and he is now trying to sell it.
Maybe. I don't know the details of that dispute. But I seem to recall he had almost no equity in it; sold for what he paid for it, and mostly mortgaged.
 
IIRC they bought it for £12m, six was mortgage and six was deferred payment. It was this deferred payment that the legal issues stemmed from as he defaulted on it. AFAIK that has now been settled and the mortgage is either paid or still being paid. He makes his Navy pension stretch does that lad.
 
Good headline:

Hiding behind the loophole of a dead sex trafficker? Stay classy, Andrew​

I thought this was the key paragraph in Hyde's article, and a cause for good cheer for republicans

But in the event that Giuffre’s case against Andrew proceeds and he loses it, and a multimillion-dollar payment has to be made, you get the feeling public attitudes would change overnight if the maternal bailout ran to forking out Andy’s damages for him. You can imagine people who are quite happy for the Queen to spend money restoring obscure Scottish castles and whatnot suddenly feeling less relaxed about it being spaffed on paying blood money for a sex offender. Whatever the accounting, I’m not sure any distinction between public funds and private income would be made by the average person.

Is there a vacancy for a "Governor of the Bahamas"?
 
...the same of course is also true if he settles out of court - will the great british public stand for an undisclosed - but very large - sum to be paid out of essentially public funds to protect a nonce? I'm looking forward to finding out. :)

Personally I reckon yes. He'll be shunted to the side-lines and the queen will turn up somewhere and wave a bit and Kate will play some piano and all will be right with the world.

ETA: Of course queenie bowing out may help the cause as the establishment could just bury the whole disgusting fiasco in a barrage of nauseating patriotism and royal arse licking.

Certainly does; my FiL gets a Navy pension and he doesn't have a Swiss Chalet. A semi in Liverpool not really in the same league.

There was more of a republican movement in this country 125 years ago than there is now. Many people thought the dissolute prince of wales utterly unsuited to the throne, and hoped Victoria's death would see the end of the monarchy. Rather more work has to go into ending this than has thus far been the case
 
Brenda popping her clogs before the trial is a bit of a nightmare scenario for TAFKA (going to start using that cos I like it), Mum forking out for his legal bills is one thing, she may very well even believe he is innocent. His brother or his nephew might not be so understanding or sympathetic especially if there is a big payout to be made. I do get the impression that Chucky knows he is nowhere near as popular as his Mum. Starting your reign by bailing out your noncy brother to tune of a few million not likely to improve that.

This year is the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years on the throne. Seven decades of service, duty, and loyalty. It should be a time of joy and celebration, probably much needed and anticipated by the relatively new widow. But as the old saying goes, a mother is only as happy as her unhappiest child…
