this will go on for months.. and the chances of it endiing in a prosecution are very slim..... they have more chance of nailing him for the underage s ex charges probably.... and even then it would be an uphill battle... unfortunately
For example in today's media...
New disturbing photographs of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor playing with a mystery toddler and a ball resembling a woman's breast inside Royal Lodge emerged today.
The bizarre pictures, apparently taken in 2011 at his grand Berkshire royal home, capture Andrew kneeling and talking to the little boy who is clutching a so-called 'boob ball'.
The never-seen-before pictures emerged in the Epstein Files, which also contain emails from Sarah Ferguson claiming the paedophile financier had a secret son, that she had heard about from Andrew.

That is so much more disturbing than I can put into words. 
Perhaps this is the first crack in what used to be a solid foundation in the Royal Family. I wouldnāt be at all surprised if the entire wall came down exposing many more secrets kept from the public but then, it might be too shocking for some to digest. I find the whole āarrestā fake ā to me it looks like a setup to pacify the sheep and seem like action is being taken. People now are much more demanding for the truth and will not be dismissed with a pat on the head.
I know that there are prizes given for the best photograph each year, but this one seen by hundreds of millions of people will win any competion by miles.

Exactly and this will be a tiny sliver of what has been going on not just with Andrew, but with so many of the people iinvolved in the Epstein poisonous ring..That is so much more disturbing than I can put into words.

its a long piece...but I'll break it up...
Now that the former Prince Andrew has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office, it leaves one big, important question hanging in the air: will his teddy bears be taken in for questioning, too?
One can only speculate upon Andrewās demeanour for 11 hours in custody as he was interviewed by the kind of policemen he has routinely abused and sneered at throughout his rotten life, calling them plod, lardy, the c-word and worse.
Perhaps he managed to be a little more circumspect under duress, but the former princeās sense of entitlement is so vast that the buffoon probably still thinks he is the wronged party.
Andrew might only be thinking of himself at the moment, but now that the fall of the House of York is almost complete, where does this leave his immediate family?
His ex-wife Sarah Ferguson has gone to ground, as well she might. The Epstein Files, in unsparing detail, have revealed Sarahās relentless begging for cash, her mad greed and long-standing culpability in this ongoing shame.
She is now mired in a financial and housing crisis while facing the very real possibility that the father of her two children might be going to jail; all the opportunities that life gave her and Fergie has ended up in the same boat as many a wretched single mum drug addict living in a council estate.
Only with better connections. She is said to have been visiting friends in the French Alps recently before moving on to the United Arab Emirates, a global epicentre for shady money and one of the few places left in the world where the locals might still be impressed by her tattered links to the monarchy.
She has also been spending time with her youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, who has been in the region for work, attending an art fair in Qatar in her role as a director at dealer Hauser & Wirth.

....Ah yes. The daughters. The received wisdom is that no matter what happens everyone should be super nice and supportive to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie in this time of Yorkian strife, but why? Their parentsā sins are not their sins goes the argument ā and that is true, up to a point.
Yet just like mater and pater, the girls have never stinted from maximising their royal position to their own advantage, of being unafraid to live big lives of pampered luxury without asking too many questions about where all the funds were coming from.
Along the way, neither daughter has achieved much in the way of personal accomplishment, with perhaps their most noteworthy moment coming when they both sported ridiculous headgear at the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales in 2011.
āOnce Wore A Silly Hatā isnāt much of a royal obituary but to be fair, they did give us all a good laugh.
Elsewhere, the most frequent praise you hear about the York sisters is that they have lovely manners, but lovely manners are the very least I would expect from two women raised in a royal family, privately educated, marinated in privilege and afforded the very best of everything, from homes and holidays to opportunities and trust funds.
So they know how to curtsey, say please and thank you and look interested in bores at cocktail parties? Big deal.
Meanwhile, the tide of sleaze rolling over the Yorks just gets higher and higher and, in the end, it is going to capsize them all.
Beatrice and Eugenie, despite their best efforts to splish-splash nicely in the shallows of purity, have been caught up in the dirty swell.

For now that we know the former Duke and Duchess of York were effectively bankrolled by Jeffrey Epstein for years, and when that wasnāt happening there may have been extra cash coming in from Andrewās allegedly dodgy dealings as trade envoy, embarrassing questions are being asked about who and what funded the princessesā luxury lifestyles.
And what luxury! Back in 2015, when she was a gal-about-town in her 20s, Beatrice went on 17 holidays. Seventeen! That is more than one a month. She skied in Verbier, partied in St Tropez, spent time in Ibiza and lounged on yachts with her rich and famous pals.
At the time she worked at Sony Pictures, earning a salary of Ā£19,500 as an intermediate coordinating producer, intermediate being the key word.
She could barely have been in the office, what with dashing off to sunbathe on teak decks provided by obliging squillionaires and nipping off to Paris on shopping sprees.
Think of all the young people who would have killed for a job in a film company in London, who would have worked damn hard when they got there and made the most of this golden opportunity.
Yet to Beatrice York it was nothing; a fig leaf of professional respectability to mask her jet-set life.
In between travelling the globe with various boyfriends, she had a lot of these niche, rich girl ājobsā. She worked as a āresearch associateā at her motherās charity Children in Crisis, she interned for an investment firm in London for 16 months before moving to New York to join Sandbridge Capital.
She left there to fulfil her āentrepreneurial ambitionsā by launching her own company as a business consultant.

Yes, Iām sure lots of firms and enterprises will be frothing at the mouth to sign up and listen to the golden advice from this 30-something self-made hedonist whose chief qualification in life is āprincessā.
Come on. I suspect what Beatrice knows about business could be written on the back of a stamp, affixed to a postcard addressed to Jeffrey Epstein and adorned with the message: āMummy says thank you for the latest cheque.ā
At least she didnāt work in an art gallery ā the ultimate trustafarian non-job ā like her little sister Eugenie, now a director at posh Hauser & Wirth.
In between doing whatever it is that art gallery directors do, Princess Eugenie launched The Anti-Slavery Collective, a UK-based charity dedicated to raising awareness of and working to end modern slavery and human trafficking.
You couldnāt make it up. Poor Eugenie was campaigning to free tormented young women from being used and abused by powerful, rich men while her father was allegedly entertaining an ever-changing carousel of them at Buckingham Palace and other royal residences.
How could he do this, to himself, his family, us?

Of course, Beatrice and Eugenie are not the ones who have sinned but all of this, every last bit of their gilded lives, has been leveraged by the fact of their priceless asset of being princesses.
And as they were apparently co-opted more than once to show Epsteinās guests around royal residences it seems unlikely they didnāt know of him or his reputation.
So spare your tears for the York women. My ducts are dry husks when it comes to this lot of opportunists.
Meanwhile, yesterdayās events must have left Fergie distraught, but as a desperate woman in need of pronto cash she now poses an even bigger threat to the Royal Family.
For she has the ultimate cash-generating weapon at her disposal ā a tell-all memoir, one that would make Prince Harryās Spare look like a parish pamphlet from the Church of Happy Clappy.
It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that if she accuses Andrew of sex crimes and claims that King Charles ā or even God forbid, Queen Elizabeth ā were aware of his behaviour, that could bring down the monarchy.
Harry wanted to win back the publicās affection and restore his reputation, but Sarah Ferguson has no reputation left to lose.
Damaged people are dangerous, they know they can survive.
Finally, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor might have fondly imagined that his move to the Sandringham Estate might have heralded a fresh start.
In a way it has, for his problems are only just beginning.
End!

yes and it's not the first time this has been mentioned as a posssibility.. and I do believe unless she knows she will face prosecution for anything she reveals .. then she will very likely create a tell-all.......bear in mind she will have the best lawyers to guide her
There has to be a reason that the RF have kept her close to their breats despite being divorced from Andrew for decades, and as I've said in the past, altho' I know she's likely up to her neck in the mire herself... that she also must know where the RF bodies are buried...

Thank you for posting that, Holly. That article is very well written. "Buffoon" is a good word for the fallen dude. And who could forget those hats "the offspring" wore to William and Catherine's wedding... my, my, the memories! 
The grapevine says that Beatrice cried when "the internet" made fun of her hat... or whatever that thing was.

The problem is, and always will be that Sarah is a compulsive liar... so whatever she may say or write.. we won't know what's true and what's only there to save her own backside....

Might one suppose that when William ascends to the throne, there will be some changes made to behavior in the Royal Family?
