Struck by how supine so much coverage of the Royal Family continues to be, even now. “Business as usual” is the line I keep hearing. No, it really isn’t. And it shouldn’t be.
It remains stunning, that throughout all of this, the Royal Family have never confirmed who exactly paid for the payoff nor why, exactly, they stripped Andrew of his titles. Parliament hasn’t thought to ask either.
The arrest is for the courts. Accountability is not.
If it is to survive this crisis, the Royal Family must finally answer questions about how it conducts itself.

Buckingham Palace has a long and ruthless tradition of distancing itself from scandal. Nothing matters to the Firm more than the perpetuation of the Firm itself.
Be wary of stories that seek to put Charles and Co in a good light because a lot of it is nothing more than crisis and PR management.

A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

Brunel's lawyer told them his client recruited girls for Epstein and had incriminating photographs.
