There a bit of an Al Capone job going on is there? Cant get you for your paedophilia, so misconduct in public office might do...
Good to see that we have completely left all past enmities firmly behind us & we can now have a thread on GAAboard entirely devoted to an ex Royal / no sweat English toff lol.
Who's kicking off the "Free The Sandringham One" campaign?
All a charade.
It's all for the authorities to be seen to be doing something. He'll be released without charge , and that will "conclude our investigation ".
Nothing to see here. Move along please.

Presumably most of the evidence here is in England rather than the US and is more black and white case, if he give Epstein access to things covered by Official Secrets then that is it, as far as I am aware the women involved were not under 16 but there were issues of coercion that are harder to prove.

Perhaps. But there are others like Mandelson with similar allegations.
GB News worried and randy Andy's mental health
Quote from: Orior on February 19, 2026, 01:22:18 PMGB News worried and randy Andy's mental health
Royal historian on BBC news over lunchtime was questioned on Andy being bankrolled by the king and if it's appropriate.
"but the king must bankroll him, otherwise he may associate with more unsavoury characters"
If it does turn out to be a breach of the Official Secrets act, what sort of jail term would we be talking?

A couple of hours' community service, at worst.

My god, I watched a bit of that. She was some arsehóle.
He may be living on the streets I think she also said, no, he should be in jail.
It also turns out the peelers are getting a lot of information from Gordon Brown who knew he was leaking information 20 odd years ago.

So, can we take it that the £15,000,000 he got in 2007 for his house off a shifty Kazakh guy is long gone?

I am having flashbacks here. Way too gross!!!
The English aristocracy are a very strange people; I put it down to the nonsense that goes on after lights out, in their public schools. They're abandoned as boarders for years on end, while Mummy & Daddy take off, to run India or Africa.

Touch of 1917 all over again, when they stopped calling themselves the Royal Teutonic & Germanic House of Hun, or whatever it was & adopted the "Windsor" name, just in case they were all put up against a wall, like the Romanovs.
Reports circulating that Prince of Darkness Mandelson manifested his presence beside Prince Andrew as the police sirens became audible.
As he placed a friendly hand on Prince Andrews shoulder , he whispered into his ear "they expect one of us in the wreckage, brother".
The he dematerialised into a dark cloud and vanished.
You'd presume this was pre-arranged with the peelers in England and will be used to take the heat out of the American authorities chasing him. He can't possibly do time. They'll agree that security risk is too high.
I'm quite bemused by his demotion.
He is a prince because god gave his family magic blood. Ability, personality and moral fibre have nothing to do with it. If his blood became less magic and he lost his princeness, are we not on a slippy slope? If merit enters the equation surely the whole concept unravels?

Far easier to prove.
He banged women he met through a friend. He never paid for sex. He had no way of knowing their ages. How could he have known they were trafficked?

Charlie stripped him of his titles and banished him to the small palace in the corner. Seems like he knew this was coming. The big question now becomes, did Charles stump up £2 million for Andrew's hush money to Virginia Giuffre? If yes, the PM might have to pay a visit to the palace and demand the King's abdication.
British Republicans are salivating now.

She's another one. She should be interviewed by the cops too.
A totally vacuous bimbo, who thought that she was marrying well & boarding the Kazakh gravy train, for life. Her self-pitying whining to Epstein was truly nauseating.
The words of Windsor Davies spring to mind, in relation to her downfall - "Oh dear. How sad. Never mind".

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor forwarded a confidential Treasury briefing to a banker friend while he was trade envoy, The Telegraph can reveal.
The former prince tasked Amanda Thirsk, his deputy private secretary, with obtaining an internal government memo in February 2010 about the Icelandic financial crisis.

/ˈɡrɪftə/
nouninformal•North American English
a person who engages in petty or small-scale swindling.
This is getting to be more like industrial scale swindling, in which all the various arms of the British establishment conspire together, to ensure that they can all quickly fill their boots to the max, with as little effort as possible. There's little or nothing by way of morality, standards, scruples or probity remaining within the upper tiers of British society, not that there ever was that much, to begin with.
Sadly it's a bit more than Britain that is impacted by this. Nothing but grifters as public figures throughout the world.
Britain probably about to be impacted big time by it though if Farage gets in.

Or, maybe 14 grand is feck all squared over 2. Even Mandelson looked for 25 grand, every time.
67 grand without and entry level qualification required is good dough all the same, and just because you don't require it doesn't mean they should get on like it.

Mind you, he was obviously regarded as being a top class chap, a fine fellow & a jolly good egg back in 2001, when he was appointed.
Is there any chance that Blair might be trotted out, to explain why exactly it was that his, sorry Mandelson's, government oversaw & went along with all of this, in the first place?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been ordered to stop going riding, it has been reported.
Royal aides warned the former Duke of York not to be seen on horseback, fearing it would be a "bad look" for him to be enjoying himself while under police investigation, according to The Sun newspaper.
Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and questioned for almost 12 hours amid accusations he shared confidential information with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He is the first member of the Royal family in modern history to be detained.
