Prince Andrew continues to be treated as a pathological figure. Forced to renounce all his titles except Prince, Andrew’s flag, bearing his coat of arms, was recently removed from Windsor Castle due to ongoing controversy surrounding his links to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Newspapers are using disgraceful language about this man, who was revealed to have lived in the 40-room palace rent-free for 20 years. When King Charles stripped him of his titles, right-wing newspapers became more open about their writing. In a sense, King Charles has thrown Prince Andrew to the lions.
Meanwhile, even if Andrew doesn’t appear in court and his guilt isn’t proven, he is still a criminal. The press and the public have collectively condemned him. Let’s remember this: There’s a wonderful Turkish proverb: “Tell me your friend, and I’ll tell you who you are.” When Prince Andrew’s friend became a pedophile, he naturally began to be treated as one himself.
