Having just watched the interview with Emily Maitlis, I just cannot make my mind up about him , I find it strange that he could not recollect having that photo taken with the girl with his arm around him , I thought he was very cautious with his answers, What do you all think ?

Buckingham Palace

Callistemon Sun 17-Nov-19 21:07:50

And PB Princess Beatrice

confused yet?

Ginny42 Sun 17-Nov-19 21:07:22

BP must be Buckingham Palace.

Urmstongran Sun 17-Nov-19 21:04:37

BP will be Buckingham Palace BlueBelle

Gonegirl Sun 17-Nov-19 21:01:59

Yes she was. They said on the radio this morning.

Callistemon Sun 17-Nov-19 21:00:26

Anniebach was Virginia Roberts not tracked down to appear as a witness in the trial of Epstein?

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 20:58:34

Me too Bluebell , I have no idea who BP is

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 20:58:02

How am J supposed to know? I don’t know how the mind of allegedly abused young woman works.you don’t have sympathy for abused women do you?

BlueBelle Sun 17-Nov-19 20:56:56

Cricky all these initials are driving me crackers now whose BP?

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 20:53:41

suzie if the photograph was taken with the girl’s camera it is quite possible she kept the photograph for 10 years, if she did why would she want to keep it when it would remind her of being raped many times ,

Urmstongran Sun 17-Nov-19 20:51:57

I’m playing catchup here ....

Just burst out laughing at Gonegirl’s haven't said very much. It's you lot ?

Hilarious! My best laugh of the day.

Thanks suziew of course VR was who she is. I was thinking of her with the surname I suppose that begins with G and I can’t spell it!

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 20:40:48

I honestly think that you need to see the C4 programme to understand the context and given that C4 lawyers will have been all over it, it makes you realise what is uncontested and can be said without having to say allegedly. It has been known for years exactly what JE and GM are snd PA had been in their ‘circle for years . It was an open dirty secret and BP knew or should have kniwn

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 20:31:07

Well .annie why the questioning of the time lag in exposing abuse? You’ve only got to look at the cover up over years in the RC church and the Cof E to see that the powerful and well connected have successfully hidden their abuse for decades - this is just another example of the truth finally coming out

Calendargirl Sun 17-Nov-19 20:29:16

I watched the Dispatches programme earlier this evening, it cleared up a few things. The photo was taken on Virginia’s own camera, there seemed to be some queries about that on the thread.
I also wondered why JE lent Sarah Ferguson £15000. Surely Andrew could have rustled that up himself, instead of asking anyone else to lend it?

lemongrove Sun 17-Nov-19 20:23:58

It’s all a mess, isn’t it?
I doubt PA will go to America or answer any official questions though, I think the recent interview was all anyone will get.

BlueBelle Sun 17-Nov-19 20:23:40

Ahh thanks Annie I didn’t realise by the title

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 20:21:49

Bluebell the thread ‘Our Gracious Queen ‘, we started to discuss Andrew a day or so ago.

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 20:18:19

Callistemon why was she tracked down ? If she was living a quiet family life in Australia. Reports say many young girls were abused, how was it known who they were and were all tracked down ?

The photograph was taken in 2001 and became public in 2011

BlueBelle Sun 17-Nov-19 20:17:09

I didn’t realise there was another thread about Andrew anniebach

Callistemon Sun 17-Nov-19 20:06:53

Anniebach if the girl, Virginia, did indeed own the photograph, why would she release it if she is living a quiet life with her husband and children in Australia and had to be tracked down to give evidence?

Callistemon Sun 17-Nov-19 20:02:46

Gabriella if he was indeed at that Pizza Express with his daughter, doubtless there would have been security people with them too.
I wonder if they would have 'selective amnesia' if questioned under oath?

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 19:10:06

Bluebell no, I am not defending him, I gave my opinions of him on the other thread yesterday and think the very same today.

merlotgran Sun 17-Nov-19 18:51:06

Poor Beatrice. If I was her I'd nip off with my intended and get married somewhere a long way from Windsor.

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 18:50:36

Tbf I think it’s really hard if you love the Q to accept that her favourite son does not allegedly choose his friends wisely

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 18:47:51

granniesunite thank you .?
