William “will juggle caring for children and supporting Princess”. This is offensive to those of us who have cared for both their partner and their children, whilst working full time. These lazy parasites don’t work and have a army of nannies.

Anyone who has watched ‘Scoop’ will now be familiar with the photojournalist Jae Donnelly, who captured Prince Andrew and the very young girls at Epstein’s New York mansion. As some royal reporters are now expressing sympathy for Andrew, here are the real photos:
