    I am reliably informed that Prince William is self-isolating with Covid - 19

    Meanwhile Prince Andrew is self-isolating with Gemma - 15

    ;)

    Err, maybe not sleep with 17 year old girls when you're a bloke in your 40s?

    They have updated nursery rhymes to factor in modern day events.

    Ohhhhhh

    He borrowed 12 million Quid
    He gave it all to someone he'd never even met
    for something he never even did

    Doubt it mate, she would have given names already if she was going to do that.

    Also, as Andrew Neil pointed out, she's 60. If she 'sings' to reduce her sentence from a minimum of 40 years to 20 years, what difference is it going to make for her?

    There's not enough to gain for her.

    I don't think the language in the agreement is as cut and dried as you're making out, from what I've seen the language used seems okay and was obviously intended to cover everybody who could possibly involved.

    The judge is clearly trying to find technicalities to get around it as bringing people to some element of justice is obviously in the interest of everybody involved (excluding Prince Andrew of course!)

    There's a bit of me that thinks it's sharp practice from Virginia Giuffre to sign that agreement, accept the settlement and then go against what it's clearly intending to do but in the grand scheme of the potential wrongdoing of the people involved it's very minor.

    I think he would do well to steer clear of any Parisian tunnels for now!

    So he's paying a wedge of cash over someone he claims he never met before.

    Seems legit. Must be innocent.

    The figure being banded about is £12m.

    Nothing cries I've never met this woman and I am innocent like a £12m pay off.

    As bad as these alleged crimes are, as far as I am aware no-one actually died, so why should we allow a member of our Royal Family to travel to the "good ol USA to answer these allegations, whatever our view of him is.
    The reason I make this point is because the United States is protecting one of their citizens from answering charges over here regarding causing death by dangerous driving (driving on the wrong side of the road).

    RIP Harry Dunn

    If it was as cut and dried as some commentators are saying the judge would have ruled on it there and then.

    I have read and seen a number of reports about it and have read some saying it is obviously going one way and others saying the opposite all using different things that the judge said and what people think he implied by other things he said/did or didn’t do.

    she could have negotiated a plea deal before hand and ended up with lower convictions carrying less time.

    the time for that has gone now as sentencing is for the judge to decide rather than the prosecution

    No. Otherwise her defence team wouldn’t be considering filing for a misstrial.

    They did. The implication is the juror lied when answering the question that asked have you ever suffered sexual abuse.
