    I wonder if they were underage? They say women if they’re over 9 years old in those crowds.

    Disgraced former prince Andrew once had 40 prostitutes brought to his five-star hotel over four days during a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, his biographer has claimed.

    Andrew engaged with the women over a four-day stretch, royal historian and author Andrew Lownie alleged, according to a report in the New York Post and other media outlets.

      He’s never been directly accused of that before, so it might be a stretch.

            She was 17 at the alleged orgy and the age of consent in the US Virgin Islands was 18, so how do you figure that out?

              She was 18 at the time of the alleged orgy. She was 17 during the alleged encounters in London and New York, above the age of consent in both places.

                That’s not what some evidence said, although Giuffre said both 17 and 18 at different times. Also, she alleges other 17-year-olds were involved, which is an allegation contradicting your posts saying no allegations.

    The visit to Bangkok was one of many trips Andrew took at British taxpayers’ expense when he was serving as an official trade envoy for the UK in the early 2000s.

    I feel like maybe the British public should rely on the British civil service to negotiate their trade arrangements, rather than the royal family.

    Very highly likely that at least one of these encounters involved children. Andrew is a sweaty, greasy nonce and needs to be locked up in a commoners prison where he belongs.

      Given that none of the allegations against him involved the underaged that would be a stretch. And given his new financial reality, libel cases may be an attractive source of income.

        The Epstein island orgy accusations involve the underaged, as some participants were 17 and the age of consent was 18 there.

          Giuffre herself was 18 at the time, and her statement was that the others “seemed” to be underaged (but she didn’t know if they were). The allegation hasn’t been tested in court.

            Indeed, untested in court, but the allegation is there, contradicting your posts earlier. That’s all.

            Also, Giuffre’s statements on her age at the orgy differ, but the pilot’s notes put it in early July, before her 18th birthday.

      Ha ha, andrew bad, I agree, but…

      Most adults have herpes of some form (Double digit percentages for 1 or 2). Most don’t know because they don’t exhibit symptoms. Its basically never tested for because tests are not good for when it doesnt show symptoms, and because doctors feel the stigma is worse than the virus.

      You can do research and find a bunch more sources than even the wikipedia article lists, but in essence, if you are at all sexually active as an adult, you almost certainly already have herpes.

      Just reality.

      The stigma shouldn’t be there for something this mundane.

        When most speak of herpes we dont mean cold sores … we mean the blistering crotch infestation.

          Just 1 part of the misunderstandings. Both can go to either area even if they are typically found in their respective ones.

          Further, most who have herpes, even in the crotch region, will still show no recognizable symptoms and be difficult to test for.

          Again, especially considering that condoms are not practically effective for preventing spread, and the results are typically not the horrendous cases you’ll have remembered, the stigma still isn’t worth it.

          I mean, I suppose you could osculate and perform cunnilingus with dental damns, fellatio with condoms and no contact, and copulate and or engage in anal coitus in full body latex, but let’s be real, because you won’t be doing that, and most people who have it wont know they do, its the stigma that’s the biggest problem; the same fear that drives knee-jerk reactions.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
    • Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don’t allow those links either.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
