Could the princely prat find the lone bird hidden in the cat puzzle? I doubt it.
Andrew is an awkward, lazy, likely tone-deaf liar who appears to believe that he’s above the tumultuous entanglements that have now ensnared him.
For decades, the 61-year-old Duke of York traipsed around the world dining out on oligarchs, corrupt Eastern European businessmen and the world’s dictators. Greedy, venal, stupid. Yes, that’s Andrew.
The stench of corruption and decadence is indeed strong with this one. Oh, people turned a blind eye and made jokes.
No one, however, is joking about the alleged sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl long ago. Least of all the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and the U.S. Department of justice.

The randy Royal has been accused of having sex with Virginia Roberts when she was an underage teen. How does a prince end up with a teenager?

Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell, an old chum of the prince, introduced him to the pedophile billionaire in the 1990s. Now, Roberts is singing like a canary.
Epstein topped himself in a New York jail cell in 2019 while Maxwell is caged awaiting her sex trafficking trial slated for November.
As for Andrew, he has been playing a two-year game of cat and mouse with American officials who are desperate to question him. The Royal claims he’s told the Americans “sure, any time.”
The Yanks say he’s lying and I believe them.
Now, according to the U.K. Sun, the United States is putting the squeeze on the Brits to get Andrew to cooperate with detectives. They are growing steadily pissed.
They want to know ALL ABOUT the Royal rogue’s friendly relationships with Epstein and Maxwell. And what about those 13, 14, and 15-year-old girls that always seemed to be hovering around the pool?

Andrew did not appear to give a whit about them during his many visits with Epstein at properties in London, New York, Palm Beach, and in the Caribbean.
In 2020, the U.S. even made a formal request to query the uncooperative prince. Investigators call him a “person of interest” in the ever-widening probe that is targeting Epstein’s coterie of highfliers and jet-setters who ravaged vulnerable, underage girls.
Federal prosecutors in New York have scoffed at Andrew’s repeated proclamations that he is willing to cooperate with the probe.
“[He has] sought to falsely portray himself to the public as eager and willing to cooperate” but in reality has offered zippo and has gone to ground.
Roberts is now suing the royal, claiming Epstein and Maxwell forced her to have unwanted sexual intercourse with Andrew at the British socialite’s London home.

The young Florida woman who was allegedly lured into Epstein’s sickening web by Maxwell says she thought she’d be murdered by the hedge fund manager if she didn’t have sex with Andrew.
For his part, the prince has denied any wrongdoing.
He mumbled and stuttered that he did not even know Roberts on his train crash BBC interview last year. A photo of Maxwell, Roberts, and the prince says otherwise.
Maxwell has also denied any wrongdoing. She will have her day in court.
In the meantime, patience with Andrew is waning.
The U.K.’s top cop, Dame Cressida Dick, was blunt in a missive to her detectives on the matter.
She said: “No one is above the law.”
We shall see. We shall see.
