Fergie famously had her debts paid off by a generous donation from...Jeffrey Epstein.
It definitely sounds like the palace had been briefing the press about PA’s innocence, the Giuffre photo being faked, etc, but presumably think that’s unsustainable and it’s better to cut him loose to some extent.

fwiw the royals are def popular here but like not that popular, like i am a compulsive news follower and i wasnt totally sure how prince andrew fit into the royal family, that he was charles younger brother was my guess but that was just based on deduction, i did just look it up on wikipedia tho

The royals may not be that popular now, but they would be if they'd be sold to America, for sure.
A monarchy might've saved youse from Trump. Except then you'd have a monarchy. Catch 22.

yeah the royals go LA is def something worth looking into

There's another one, Prince Edward - but he's even more anonymous than Andrew, I don't think he's been seen him in about 10 years, that's how it seems anyway.

fwiw the royals are def popular here but like not that popular,
uh, network morning programmes in the US spent hours a day jizzing themselves fervently over a royal wedding last year, without ever considering the moderate centrist position that anyone voluntarily choosing to join an organisation that uses homeless ppl as slaves (and then has them physically removed from view before members of the org pass by) ought to have their head placed on a pike alongside their husband's

Every time I've encountered The View it's been shocking how loud it is, like their audio engineer is the same guy who remixed Raw Power the first time and just pushes every slider into the red the entire time.

the fact they get treated as celebrities, instead of as suppurating parasites on the lives of millions of people around the world, suggests that the US would 100% embrace them as the leads of interlocking reality TV shows
(although a revival of their last one wld be my preference)

Two federal workers who were on duty the night Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail were taken into custody early Tuesday on federal charges related to their alleged failure to check on him, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
The two federal Bureau of Prisons employees were expected to be charged later in the morning and appear in United States District Court in Manhattan.
The charges would be the first to arise from a criminal inquiry into the death of Mr. Epstein, who hanged himself at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
The workers came under scrutiny shortly after Mr. Epstein’s death, because they were responsible for monitoring the high-security unit where Mr. Epstein, the disgraced financier who had previously been convicted of sex crimes, was being held.

eventually the four guards guarding the two guards who were guarding epstein will "fail" and the two guards will die and then the four guards who let the two guards die will get charged and go to jail and then eight guards etc etc until we all find out the truth

we will be told that all the guards involved were "despondent"

NEW: Surveillance video shows that besides the two officers charged today, no one entered the SHU -- where Epstein was housed -- at anytime during the night he died, the indictment says. https://t.co/nEFKcWBT5U— Tom Winter (@Tom_Winter) November 19, 2019
