Yes..it should have been dealt with at the time. However if it was 'swept under the carpet' to protect Meghan then it kind of goes against her accusations of not being protected. Sometimes when you try and help...it backfires.

Yup they ignored it and brushed it under the carpet while Harry and Meghan were Royals, and are wheeling it out now that they're "out" and in the bad books.

Says it all really. They protect their own no matter what, but get on their bad side and the gloves come off. Pathetic, really.

If Harry and Meghan mistreated their staff it should have been investigated and addressed at the time. If those staff members didn't feel like they could complain about a family member and have it taken seriously (or perhaps even feared repercussions if they complained) - that says a lot about the general culture of working for the Royals doesn't it.

We are a nation of weak willed bootlickers, all too happy to lap up the **** that gets given to us with nary a complaint while we're told to hate a woman for existing and to ignore the predator in our midst.

Much as I'm skeptical of the GBP on a wide range of topics, and I don't think this is entirely wrong, I would say in this case it's one playing into the other - the public aren't disinterested in stories about Andrew, they would lap up those front pages, but the media NOTICEABLE shy away from it. It's "there" because they couldn't get away with not reporting on it at all, but there is a clear effort on their part to keep the reporting on him to a minimum. Someone has their grubby fingers all over it (and not just Andrew). Whereas Meghan is clearly considered "press fair game". Partly because she's female, I'm sure, but in this case I think the clear major difference is that she's "not actually Royal Blood". Same two reasons she has to soak up most criticism of Harry, as well as her own.

But it's the public's fault for not demanding more, we should be outraged but we aren't, because Rupert Murdoch's telling us to hate Meghan more and the people are complying because they love being told what to think.

If the public demanded it, the media would listen, but the public would rather hate a black princess than be mad about a peadophile in plain view.

I honestly don't know. The mainstream papers and television channels are largely controlled by an alarmingly tiny group of people, and I would imagine that the people at the top of Royal PR have their direct phone numbers. The press knows that an extensive piece slamming Andrew would be an absolute gold mine... IMO there simply must be other reasons that they keep coverage to a minimum.

[Tom4784]

People shouldn't wait for the news stories to tell them what to think, people should be outraged at what we know about Andrew, we should be demanding a full independent investigation, we should be demanding action for the Royal family protecting a peadophile, but no, there's some idle gossip about Meghan to be angry about and that's so much worse....

[Tom4784]

It's so typical of the UK. 'Rupert Murdoch isn't telling us to be mad about it, so we're not mad about it.'

It also amazes me how people can whine about Meghan doing an interview during a pandemic but don't really say anything about Piers Morgan Life Stories where other celebrities talk about their troubles during a pandemic

Because they aren't being told to hate those other people.

true

All this drama over one person when there's more important and more interesting stuff going on in the world is just silly. Take me back to 2007 when Katie Price was everywhere in the media at least that wasn't as bad.

Maybe because its a Meghan thread...

Just pointing out double standards but you obviously dont have an issue with it otherwise you wouldn't watch it.

[Tom4784]

Honestly, I used to be mostly apathetic about the royals but now I'm pretty much for abolishing the whole ****ing thing. Our tax money is going to them slinging mud and defending peadophillia, bring the whole ****ing family down.

They're not even earning their worth any more and I doubt they will for many years to come

Lol....lets not forget who started the mud slinging.

They are not defending Paedophilia.... What are they supposed to do? Force him on a plane to the US? Its up to the US to get him extradited and hopefully they will. However...if he was your son or brother wouldnt you want to protect them however disappointed and ashamed you feel....

The Royal Family will never be abolished...

[Kazanne]

I'm not sure any of this will achieve the privacy they desire, it seems to be making things worse as for the press and media, that's some hornets nest to prod, they can be merciless.

This interview is premeditated and all the disrespect shown towards the royal family in the build up to this interview has been said to pave the way for this interview.

The press have given Meghan a hard time for basically sticking two fingers up and creating a stop picking on us story line.

The queen has been more than fair giving them a chance to come back with no hard feelings option and has publicly supported Harry and Meghan in their choices and yet despite all that these to hate filled people want to attack the very person and family that gave them what they wanted
