Prince Andrew

Depends who the FBI believe I suppose. If he slept with that young girl when she was 17, then he's guilty in America.

The Queenmust think riding a horse is the answer to everything, the way she took him out riding.

She took him out riding ? Was she leading his horse ?

gone girl age of consent in the US depends on the state.

It's mostly 16, though.

Annie Why'dyou say that?

Gonegirl you said ‘the queen took him out riding’, no, he accompanied the queen , they were not on the same horse and the queen was not leading his horse with a bridle

You are just being weird pedantic Annie. Stop it. You know perfectly well what I mean.

Anniebach, If you're going to nit-pick at least get it right.

'Taking someone out riding' means you accompany somebody, often a guest or a child. You don't lead another person's horse with a bridle. The horse is wearing the bridle and if you are going to lead it you would use a leading rein.

I don't think anyone would expect the Queen to lead Prince Andrew at this time of his life so unnecessary to sarcastically suggest it.

merlot I was not being sarcastic, so Andrew may have been taking the queen for a ride.

I took my children for a ride, when adults they accompanied me on a ride, big difference .

As my Dad used to say, 'Some people will just argue the hind legs off a donkey!'

True , and some will even take on others arguments too

Why do you bother with stuff like that Annie? It makes you look a bit silly tbh.

Merlotgran - your Dad would probably enjoyed the banter on Gransnet!

ditto Gonegirl

I wonder if Ghislaine Maxwell will resurface when she's offered plea bargaining by the FBI in exchange for telling all?
That'll make PA and Sarah Ferguson sweat!
As for Beatrice and Eugenie, I hope they get told to earn their own keep and get real - how on earth can they claim they have jobs/careers when they appear to be on extravagant holidays umpteen times a year?
With a bit of luck Charles will give PA a good bollocking and drop kick him into the far distance, can always hopeful!

Well perhaps if HM had led him a bit better down the paths of morality he wouldn't be facing the consequences of his actions now.

I find it hard to believe that merlot's dad , or indeed anybody would enjoy this silly squabbling.

Oh for goodness sake, we haven't had any silly squabbling for ages. Put your virtue away gfp. No one wants to see it.

If we cannot not express virtuous opinions on a thread about the Lack of Virtues in others when can we ?

Is every parent to blame when a son or daughter lacks morals
Callistemon ?

Eh???

Did you put any thought into that remark?

That was to Bridgeit

Very witty Bridget.

No , no thought just a touch of irony !??

Thanks Grapefruitpips ?
