Even if it is true, he does not need to be extradited to answer questions. That would be absurd, in my opinion, as he has not been found guilty of anything.

However, wouldn't it indicate good intentions if they came to the UK to interview him, bringing Ann Sacoulas (not sure of spelling) with them as a sign of good faith.

It ain't going to happen.

This makes interesting reading if true

I seem to recall reading that Andrew had agreed to be questioned in the UK by US prosecutors/police. It seems that they have not made the journey.

Isn't it usual in the UK for police to make the first visit to a suspect/witness, only taking in for further questioning anyone they have doubts about?

Gossip often obscures the truth. :-S

And all the time they are writing about that they are not delving into Prince Andrew's misdeeds.

It is keeping people occupied until something else turns up.

A lot of the 'news' surrounding Harry and Meghan has come from ex employees, to newspapers that pay for any old tripe!
Hence Meghan's half sister (who hardly lived with Meghan) voicing her venom.

I wonder if they had come to their decision and things were being slowly put in place to let it happen, knowing it would shock the public, and that it was all speeded up and made to look huge and shocking to overshadow the Prince Andrew debacle. A distraction.

It has worked anyway.

I suspect that Meghan and Harry's decision was made long before Andrew's disastrous interview.

Speaking of which, have any witnesses come forth to vouch for Andrew's visit to the Pizza Shop?

Harry is doing his last Royal duties, Andrew is keeping out of sight trying to avoid being questioned by US prosecutors/lawyers etc, or so it would seem.

I have been watching a programme about the royal family and was thinking, incurable cynic that I am, that the timing of Harry dropping out was very opportune indeed.

Not much more than a month earlier, his uncle had been the centre of a scandal that could have been totally devastating. However, Harry, who may well have been negotiating a way to step back from royal duties over time, took it upon himself to break away virtually without notice.

Well,what a shock! What an excellent to distract the public and,more importantly.the media.

Don't hear much about Prince Andrew do we?
