"The former duke of York has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He remains in custody – although his whereabouts are unclear – as police search addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk.

The arrest appears related to his conduct as a UK trade envoy and follows the disclosure of emails related to Epstein."

"the probe follows the release of millions of U.S. Justice Department documents detailing their continued correspondence even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, intensifying longstanding scrutiny that had already led to Andrew being stripped of royal duties and titles."

"Does he really think we’ll believe it?

It was the question that sat in our heads as we watched the then Prince Andrew give his fateful interview to Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in 2019, months after the sex offender and trafficker was found dead in a New York prison."

"The answer is that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor expected us to swallow it all, even if he didn’t think we would believe it.

This is laid bare by the release of the latest Epstein Files, which include photographs of the late Queen’s favourite son on all fours crawling above a woman lying on the floor.

It is confirmation of how the powerful protect their impunity through contempt for those they seek to exploit and manipulate."

"Virginia Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, has said the email [sent by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015] shows his sister – who took her life last year – 'was not lying this entire time'.

'It is a vindicating moment but we also want to use this as a moment to remind people to believe survivors… to take a look in the mirror and ask ourselves: what have we missed this entire time?' he added. 'Why didn’t we believe this truth-teller?'”

"Any of us who have read Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, Nobody’s Girl; saw her recall her meetings with Andrew with specificity in interviews; read of the reportedly £12 million settlement he made to her over a civil sexual abuse lawsuit; or watched him – oblivious and haughty sat in Buckingham Palace –" (continued in /10)

"saying he had 'never' met her and had no regrets about his friendship with Epstein on Newsnight knew that Virginia Giuffre was not lying.

In her words, 'he knows exactly what he has done'."

"But because the powerful believe there will be no consequences, and rely on the public believing that their impunity cannot be checked, we all (have to) go along with this systemic denial – the perpetrators, the public, and the survivors who must live with the truth."

"Andrew was famously one of the key figures in the Epstein paedophile ring, but no charges are being brought for the rapey stuff because that would implicate others. In a careful damage limitation exercise, we are instead investigating Andrew for sharing state secrets."

"This will hopefully avoid the worst stuff coming out while giving the impression of accountability.

Andrew was made the UK’s trade envoy despite having no suitable qualifications because being a royal, he needed to look like he was serving a purpose. Well, it looks like his purpose involved passing state secrets to Jeffrey Epstein who then passed them to Israel, I mean Russia."

"I’m no legal expert but that sounds an awful lot like treason!

As you can imagine, my colleagues at the BBC are distraught, having spent years playing down the crimes of Andrew in order to let him off the hook."

"These are women who spent decades in some cases, trying to keep private their horrible experiences. Their names are now searchable on the web. Meanwhile, the men who paid to meet those children are shielded by black redaction blocks….

Justice demands prosecutions."

"And it calls for the release of all of the names of the perpetrators. We are nowhere close to that. And the way we talk about this case, what we demand, which names about which we obsess will determine whether we ever get there. There is little reason to be optimistic at the moment, save for a leak. We ought to hope for one every day-for justice for the now women who were victimized as young girls by these monsters."
