Prince Andrew demands US 'olive branch' before he will speak over request to question him about Jeffrey Epstein
Daily Mail/UK, Jun 13, 2020

Prince Andrew will refuse to deal further with the US Department of Justice over its request to question him about paedophile Jeffrey Epstein until he is offered an â€˜olive branchâ€™.

A war of words broke out last week after the US authorities wrote to the Home Office to ask formally to interview the Duke of York about his relationship with the disgraced American financier.

The Duke said he had already offered his help as a witness and accused US prosecutors of breaking confidentially rules and issuing â€˜complete liesâ€™.

Last night, in a new furious salvo, a source close to the Duke of York told The Mail on Sunday: â€˜Until thereâ€™s an olive branch from the Department of Justice [DoJ] and an attempt to establish trust, we canâ€™t deal with them.

â€˜The DoJ has been painting an entirely inaccurate picture and this third time was enough. Three strikes and youâ€™re out. There have been three provable breaches in the DoJâ€™s own rules [in talking about cases] while the Duke has played a straight bat out of respect for the rules and the process.

â€˜There is no way the Dukeâ€™s lawyers can recommend an engagement with the DoJ when theyâ€™re breaking the rules. They need to do something to start rebuilding trust.â€™

@Right_in_Virginia

Sounds to me like he,as a foreign national not under our judicial or legal system,never mind a family member of a Royal Government,has that right as well as that obligation.

Since our alleged Justice Department doesn't have the authority to require him to do a single damn thing,AND they couldn't even arrest him if they caught him sitting on their steps,they should be grateful he has agreed to speak with them at all.

If FACT,they are freaking idiots for not kissing his ass to get his testimony about the things he has seen or heard of Americans doing while with Epstein. It almost makes me think they might be trying to piss him off to the point where he refuses to say anything.

Apologize for his ancestors? All the way back to Alfred the Great (a.d. 880 )?

This might take awhile.

Excellent. HE can start by returning the property of the Catholic Church, and give the Lancasters back the Throne.
I have nothing to apologize for.

Wow, I guess between COVID-19 and her dad's "Epstein problem" this was a wise choice. I do feel a little badly for her ... and wish them the best.

No pictures yet ...

Thanks for the ping @Gefn

Iâ€™m sad no pictures either. Iâ€™d like to see the dress. But Iâ€™m very happy her grandma got to see her. Grandmothers are wonderful. I miss mine.

Maybe theyâ€™ll go up later today on the royal Instagram account

The Queen shared her delight at Princess Beatrice's surprise secret wedding to Italian property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, saying it was a 'very nice' occasion.

Proud grandparents the Queen, 94, and the Duke of Edinburgh, 99, were among the roughly 20 guests who watched the couple exchange vows at 11am this morning at the Royal Chapel of All Saints, in the grounds of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's home of Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park.

Beatrice, 31, and Edo, were due to tie the knot at the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace, in London, on 29 May. But their ceremony was postponed due to Covid-19 and no new date was given by the palace at the time.

Instead the couple chose to have an intimate ceremony attended by just 'close family', according to a statement released this afternoon by Buckingham Palace. The bride's parents, Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York as well as her sister Princess Eugenie, 30, are thought to have been included. On marriage Beatrice becomes a stepmother to Edo's son Christopher, known as Wolfie, who is also thought to have attended.

Did you har that Anderson Cooper's grandparents owned Michelle Obama's grandfather, or something along those lines.

Oh, I love the bridal photos. The color of the Queenâ€™s latest dress, is the color of the new bedspread I bought last year. Donâ€™t know exactly what shade it is, blue or green but I think itâ€™s really lovely.

Thank you for posting the photos @Right_in_Virginia

The dress and crown story had a tear in my eye when I saw they were her grandmotherâ€™s. G-d save The Queen.

I loved that Beatrice wore the Queen's dress and tiara, too @Gefn It seems like the Queen wanted to go out of her way to make the day and memories as special as possible for Beatrice under difficult circumstances.

Beatrice's father Andrew wasn't there.

... In a refreshingly modern (and wonderfully sustainable) move, Princess Beatrice chose to wear a vintage Norman Hartnell dress borrowed from the Queen for her wedding. Her Majesty famously wore the dress to attend the Lawrence of Arabia premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square in 1962. The Queenâ€™s dresser, Angela Kelly, helped to fit the dress to the brideâ€™s exact measurements and added organza puff sleeves. Made from ivory Peau De Soie taffeta, the diamantÃ©-encrusted gown is trimmed with Duchess satin. ...
