      I mean by normal people standards, you are correct. He’s had to replace a golden spoon up his royal posterior with a silver one. But he still lives in a big house and will never want for money in his life. His involvement did cost him his representative job. He’s been royally demoted. So there were consequences for him although I’d be the first to agree they weren’t sufficiently punitive.

    Andrew screwed himself with that TV interview, he could likely have weathered it by keeping his mouth shut and just issuing a statement similar to what Donald says, I knew him, found out he was a creep and tossed him out of Mar-a-Lago. I seem to remember at one point an attorney for Guilffre claimed that had he not said he didn’t know or meet her in that TV interview there wouldn’t have been a lawsuit.

    So if he’s seething, it’s his own damn fault.

      Who?

      Prince Andrew

      What?

      Being outed as a pedo

      Why?

      Because Trump gets to continue being the POTUS, while Andrew has basically been punted from the royal family.

      Honey, if you use some context clues you should be able to figure out that they’re talking about someone from the royal family.
