This.
The House Of Windsor did nothing for years but help hide and enable former Prince Andrew to commit heinous crimes, some alleged to be on underage girls.
It was only when public pressure for them to act and him to be held accountable became loud that Charles, the King, suddenly grew balls and removed his titles.
The Queen protected Andrew for years.
Now, Meghan Markle's father is accused of a crime and so called mornachists like Peirs Morgan and shameless royal pundits are losing their minds trying to find some way to blame Meghan for this.

Meghan did a number on you! That snub really hurt you.
Anyway. While we are here, why didn't Queen Elizabeth go public with her views on Andrew's paedophilia and rapes instead of paying off his loans and lawsuits?
She reportedly QUIETLY helped Prince Andrew settle his 2022 civil sexual assault lawsuit.
YOU had nothing to bitch about on that. Leave Meghan alone.

To think much of the British media and their racist jealous readers chastised and demonized Meghan for cutting ties with this man. Podcats, radio and tv shows made him a hero who was being attacked by his daughter. It was more important for them to continue their bitchy, racist attacks on Meghan than interrogate their favourite source on her. They worked tirelessly to fabricate sympathy for this scoundrel.
Now the angle is again on Meghan's reaction-what does she say about her dad...that is the story - rather than the actions of this man. British media, he is your guy. Cover him as enthusiastically as you did when he was talking to you about Meghan.

Just in: WOMAN APPEARS IN COURT FOR ALLEGEDLY STAGING HER OWN KIDNAPPING
Ntombifuthi Mavis Rumo (37) appeared briefly in the Kwa-Thema Magistrates’ Court. Her co-accused, Bonginkosi Mndebele (27), appeared in absentia because he is in hospital. They are both facing a charge of defeating the administration of justice.
It is alleged that on 07 October 2026, Rumo, Mndebele and a suspect who has not yet been charged met and discussed staging Rumo’s kidnapping because they were experiencing financial difficulties. The three allegedly contacted Rumo’s family and demanded money for her release.
When the family was unable to pay, the three allegedly released Rumo on 12 October 2026 and left her at Vlakfontein Road. They then asked her family to collect her from there.
Following a police investigation into the reported kidnapping, Rumo was arrested on 20 October 2026 after her husband brought her to the police. After her arrest, She pointed out Mndebele to the police.
In court, the matter was postponed to 29 October 2026 for bail investigations and for Mndebele to appear in court. The State intends to oppose bail for both accused.
