A tweet about Prince Andrew and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has gone viral, racking up thousands of shares.
Queen Elizabeth, 95, was recently diagnosed with Covid. Contrary to what one dubiously sourced gossip site would have you believe, she is currently fighting the illness.

Andrew, of course, has been living through his own pr nightmare since he was sued by Virginia Giuffre, who says she was forced to have sex with him when she was still a minor and under the control of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew eventually settled with Guiffre for an undisclosed sum.
How about we take this to the next level?

“she was forced to have sex with him when she was still a minor”
I still don’t understand this. The age of consent in the UK is 16 and she was 17 at the time.

As far as I know, the practice happened in the USA……….
And btw, was the age of consent THEN also 16???????

@masteradrian031, always a new troll account defending child rape whenever Andrew is mentioned.
rockland2u
age of consent in NY is 17, so she was old enough, while there is no age limit for human trafficking, I would imagine she was more accurately “manipulated”, hardly “raped” even she admitted she loved the lifestyle it afforded her. its not like she was locked in the basement. epstein totally guilty of trafficking, and epic “ick” factor, but only went after the “john” for the deep pockets. either way glad its over,

ANdrew is a pig. But if it wasnt a crime because of her age then it isnt a crime. Trump was accused on court papers with Epstein for the rape of a then 13 year old girl. Not Clinton and not Andrew TRUMP but his deplorables seem to forget that

@mudeguy Stop trying to justify pedophilia. You are sick. You sound as deranged as your hero Majorie Taylor Moron

@Mudgeguy, a teenager, a child under 18 was trafficked. Period. End of discussion, stop trying to justify this. He was a grown man at the time he chose to violate a child. There is literally no excuse for his behaviour.

“Andrew, of course, has been living through his own personal nightmare”
Wait Queerty you failed to say his own SELF INFLICTED personal nightmare.
Of course, his mum was okay with it until it started making her look bad.
