I notice that Alex Acosta was named this year to Newsmax's Board of Directors, and also as Chairman of the Board for The Harvard Salient, a conservative student newspaper, currently in trouble for being a bit too Hitlerish.

.....friend of mine who lives outside London - referring to Andrew as "Andrew Mountbatten Windsor" and "AMW" says the gossip is even though going to Sandringham - might spend most of his time in United Arab Emirates. [it would be irresponsible not to speculate]
The powerful keep building towers of denial, pretending their sins will stay buried under marble and money. Every new revelation feels less like news and more like an old confession resurfacing.
The names change, but the appetite never does. Corruption always wears perfume to mask the stench.
Isn't it true that they searched the Epstein Island (after he died) and Bill Barr oversaw all that and then we never heard about it again? I guess maybe they just didn't find anything.
Here in Australia royal gossip must be huge because the algorithm started pushing it as soon as I moved. (I'm obviously very into our Royal Role Models /s)
Anyway, the goss down here is that Andrew was Elizabeth's favourite child (Anne was RIGHT THERE) and that's why she turned a blind eye.
However, Andrew offended William somehow (maybe by saying something about Kate? or PERHAPS by embarrassing himself and literally everyone of his name by being a sex pest paedophile? first guess is Daily Fail, second is mine!)
And thus William forced Charles to de-prince (ex-prince?) Randy Andy. The evidence is a) anonymous palace gossip and b) like one set of pictures with Willy looking grim and enduring while Andy talks to him. To be fair I think they're at a funeral!
In conclusion, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Regarding: "Why were these two so broke, when they were getting royal income and living in a palace with room and board and not paying rent? Who knows."
I'm not familiar with the cost of prostitutes in Thailand, but I'd think that 40 in one night might be a bit pricey.
Sir has a sword somewhere, maybe it's a Scimitar. (checks) Yup, a Scimitar. Anyway, he can use it to redeclare Andrew a Prince: "I dub ye Andrew, Finger Prince of All My Teen Pageants"
I'm old enough to remember when Randy Andy was a charming young rogue of a prince who was always titillating/amusing us by dallying with actress and other hot young things.
Well, he's finding out that what was charming and roguish in your 20s becomes simply swinish and selfish by the time you reach your 60s.
"Johnson could swear in new members during pro forma sessions when the House isn’t in session, just like he did earlier this year with two Republicans."
You can bet the farm that MAGA Mike will do absolutely nothing that could be construed in the slightest as a plus for the Dems, even if it's a plus for the country. Mikey has torn a page from the Turtle's playbook: stall... stall... stall... when it comes to swearing in a Dem and go faster than greased lightning to push an approval for a RINO. (Granted, there is a small difference between a person elected to the House and a SCOTUS justice but the rule is still fuck the Dems and the blue horse they rode in on.

"Andrew went to Thailand in 2001 for the celebration of then-King Rama IX’s birthday, paid by taxpayers as a government trade envoy."
Such a valid sounding reason to go to Thailand but the underlying reason was probably that Thailand is known as a predominant destination for sex tourism:
> Since the coronavirus is no longer an obstacle to travel, hundreds of thousands of men from all over the world are again flocking to the country in search of women and sex.
It’s gross and sad how so many men are addicted to sex and like any addict will do extremely risky things to get their fix.

Ta, Marcie. This is all so fucking sordid. And I'm all out of brain bleach.
Epstein. Epstein! EPstein!! EPSTEIN!!! E-P-S-T-E-I-N!!!! ad infinitum.
Any day now, Trump and/or his press secretary will be saying it was all Barack Obama's doing.
You mean Balack Obama, don't you?
At one time I had a bit of respect for Andy, based on him flying helos for the Royal Navy during the Falklands War
From 2019: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/nov/18/the-party-prince-how-andrew-got-his-bad-reputation
People are complicated. But even back then he had a reputation as a poon hound.

With his appetites, I'd expect him to prefer Thailand.

Or it was just like the evidence the Italian government gave Barr of alleged crimes committed by Pedo the Clown which Barr then buried.
"But honeytrap? Sounds like the guy was a whole apiary!"
Nice!

Maybe Andy said something not racist about Meghan and that offended Billy.

Remember when Ewic and the Snowman claimed all their funding was coming from Russia? It sounds like the Trump empire was based on human trafficking.
Les Wexner? Wasn't he working at WKRP in Cincinnati at the time?
