Prince Andrew’s associates are dropping him faster than a guillotine falling on the chopping block.
Huddersfield University where he is chancellor wants him gone and sponsors of his charities are withdrawing their backing of his charitable organisations.
Students at the university say he is now not a good role model, which, oddly, implies he once was.
Sponsors such as city giant KPMG, which has paid millions in fines for doctoring audits, don’t want Andrew adding to their stink, so that’s how fetid he is.
The only place Andrew would be welcome right now is at FBI HQ and that’s exactly where he would be if he had even a modicum of sympathy for Epstein’s victims.
If there is any silver lining in this cloud of murk hanging over Andrew it should be the shattering of the illusion on which the very institution of royalty depends.
Prince Andrew denies underage sex claims as he is grilled over paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein
This scandal comes at such a cost – to the young trafficked women, abused by licentious reprobates who have damaged them beyond repair.
The latest victim to come forward accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexually abusing her as a 15-year-old, and she has asked Prince Andrew to share information on his former buddy
It feels almost glib to be talking about anything but the victims here but surely this is a moment to wake up from the stupor of sycophancy this country has been in.
It’s time to tell the emperor he is stark, bollock naked.
Prince Andrew didn’t bring disgrace to the Royal Family, he just added to it and putrid though he may be, the bigger rot is the institution itself.
