The Spin

Narrative A

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's deep entanglement with Epstein — lobbying foreign states on his behalf, sharing confidential trade secrets and maintaining warm contact after Epstein's conviction — proves he believed himself untouchable. Parliament must end royal impunity by demanding he testify to investigators and reintroducing accountability over palace finances and activities.

Narrative B

The rush to condemn Andrew based on photographs and adult encounters reveals society's puritanical mob mentality, not criminality. Prostitution isn't pedophilia, and judging past behavior by today's ever-shifting moral standards threatens everyone. Without proven crimes, this pile-on amounts to virtue-signaling schadenfreude against a man who served his country.
