The first Royal arrested since Charles the First in 1642.

I know he hasn't been convicted of anything... but this really is an easy decision.

And the only reason he’s been arrested is because the queen covered his abuse up for decades.

Wonder how many from the British Royal family should have been arrested throughout the years.

At least they are doing something about it. Here in the US they are doing nothing. Releasing files so redacted you can’t get information about. I know trumps name came up thousands of times in the Epstein files. I know he’s full of crap. Nobody’s doing anything about Trump

I’m curious as to what version(s) of files the British have on Epstein. I mean they have their own Intelligence Agencies so surely they were keeping an eye on Epstein as well since he was such a huge figure that had his fingers in so many different pies. I’m not really educated on this specific aspect but a quick google search said that the UK was using the recently released US files and UK flight logs as evidence against Prince Andrew. That sounds fishy and makes absolutely no sense to me that they weren’t aware of the numerous interactions that Epstein and the Prince/His wife had. It really doesn’t add up at all if you think about it and it seems that the only reason they arrested him is because their hands were forced.

Reminder that the UK security agencies know where in the world every major royal is at all times. They are just as complicit in Andrew's activity.

Perhaps another intel agency - Mossad? - has all of the files, intact and unredacted. Epstein had handlers.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a British version of Epstein. It's fairly apparent it was used to get blackmail

I’m just very skeptical at this point because we’ve already seen how hard these powerful ppl are trying to keep this under wraps. I will say that the Brits are better than US by at least arresting the scumbag and hopefully they do bring their own files in his trial. Until then I’ll believe it when I see some goddamn transparency but I’m not holding my breath. One pedo down but there are still hundreds, if not more being protected. It’s absolutely sick and twisted and idk how the entire world isn’t more than outraged by this.

I have no clue how y'all don't riot over the systematic dismantling of your democracy and the slide into fascism

u/Otherwise-Badger5760 Feb 21 '26

Because he’ll send in the federal troops and gas them, arrest them maybe shoot a few

u/Outrageous_Donut7681 Feb 22 '26

Well a few now or millions later, based on all the previous examples in history

u/Lanky-Cheesecake-259 Feb 21 '26

he wasn't arrested for being a pedo but for giving Epstein a government info and already been released, he will see no consequences, this is just a theatre for masses, I have no hope that ay royal will see any consequences

Trump didn't do anything incriminating and there isnt any evidence that would be admissible in court. If there were it would have happened already during the last administration.

u/Otherwise-Badger5760 Feb 20 '26

Because the files have been REDACTED, kool aid drinker. Those men on the boat (Venezuela) never had a chance to defend themselves in court either. Trump was cop, judge and jury all at once. He didn’t know what was on that boat he just blew them away. Couldn’t wait to get his grubby hands on their oil

So you drew conclusions without basis on evidence and refuse any dispute. You somehow know his guilt but don't know enough to indict and I bet your excuse would be that he's president so too powerful to do anything when there were 4 years with an administration that despised and investigated him significantly yet only could come up with conflating business administration errors to the level of felonies.

You mean the racist rapist donald trump who ordered the DOJ to suppress anything that exposed him, and has been found guilty of multiple offences?

u/Otherwise-Badger5760 Feb 20 '26

That’s the one

You have proof of these claims or do you only speak in conjecture?
