    1. I feel like I’m having extreme déjà vu, anyone else? Mandela effect I guess, but I could’ve sworn he had his titles taken away like 3/4 years ago??

    2. In my opinion, his transgressions are no longer just allegations and time continues to prove guilt. The fellow formerly known as Prince cannot run from his deeds.

    3. Lets see, a possible short book about King Charlie and Cammie doing a three way "Lady Di" and a few other un-royal party stories probably keeps those royal checks showing up in andys bank account.

    4. If he wasn't guilty they would've fought this and filed lawsuits out the behind. They are all in on it. These devils Kingdom is falling right before our eyes and it's a glorious sight to see. He's not the first and wont be the last!! Trump is next too.

    5. She passed away by suicide later on in life after winning the settlement?!? He had no recollection of ever meeting her?!? I'm sure it's because he met her as a underage child.

    6. Harry and Meghan cannot be more hated than this man 😅 There is no way him and his wife should be allowed to show their faces again.

    7. If I were advising President Trump this is what I would say to him:

      Mr. President; I suggest that you say this to the American people:

      "I am guilty of abusing young girls with Jeffery Epstein. Let me bring the wars in Gaza and Ukraine to an end as atonement for my crimes and then I will resign the presidency. Please forgive me."

    8. The UK monarchy should be dissolved, the properties be made public and the monarchy wealth be placed in trusts to support the newly public properties.
