Prince Edward's Super Weird Non-Apology is Terrible

I can't join in the praise for this pathetic comment i'm afraid.

The British media have rushed to salute Prince Edward (WHO? as football fans bellow en masse when an unknown player is subbed on by the other side) for what I found to be a notably mealy-mouthed and pathetic first royal public reaction to the new Epstein files, which have exposed Prince Andrew’s involvement in what looks very like a sex trafficking ring.

In the world of terrible royal non-apologies, this, for me, rather than representing some gleaming new era of accountability, is actually a new low. While talking about the need to “remember the victims” he seemed to question who they were.

Asked “how are you coping” with the fallout, Edward, peaking at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, tried to play down the issue for the room, telling a CNN journalist: “Well, with the best will in the world, I’m not sure this is the audience that is probably the least bit interested in that. They all came here to listen to education, solving the future, but no, I think it’s all really important always to remember the victims and who are the victims in all this? A lot of victims in this.”

WTF? Like, who else, other than the women and girls who were abused, are you thinking of Edward? Come on, tell us!
