Prince Andrew: Britain's Moral Equivalent of Donald Trump

There has been a royal stink in Great Britain of late regarding Queen Elizabeth's second oldest son, Prince Andrew, and his friendly relationship to recently deceased American sex-trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein.  The Prince has been accused of having sex with an unwilling seventeen-year-old girl who claims she was forced into the situation by orders from Epstein and British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, a woman who pimped for Epstein.

Prince Andy, for his part, says not only did he not have sex with the young woman, but that he does not remember ever meeting her.  As a memory jogger, the British tabloid press has apparently produced a photograph of the Prince with his arm around the victim - but Andrew cautions that there is no way of knowing whether the photograph is faked or not.

And he still can't remember.

Last week Prince Andrew gave a long and somewhat painful interview to the British press, an interview that was approved by the Queen beforehand.  In it Andrew discussed his long friendship with the scumbag Epstein, noting among other things that Epstein and Maxwell, the pimp, had been guests at the 18th birthday party of Andrew's daughter, Princess Beatrice.   Epstein and Maxwell had also visited the Queen's residence at Sandringham for a hunting party with Andrew, and the Prince had visited Epstein in New York after he had been released from prison on sex-trafficking charges.

The two men, Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, from Andrew's own account, appeared to have been quite close for an extended period of time - much the same as photographs and first-person accounts would indicate that Donald Trump and Epstein were also quite close at one time.  There is one major difference however.  His Royal Highness, Prince Andrew of Great Britain, will remain a public fixture by virtue of his birthright, while the presence of Donald Trump on our national stage is but a temporary aberration.

America's stain will ultimately be removed, but Britain is stuck with theirs.  Perhaps the day approaches when the good people of Great Britain will step boldly into the modern world and claim the power to fire at least some of the royal family.

And relieving randy Andy of his title and salary would be a good place to start.
