    I’m suspicious. The Royal Family wouldn’t do something like this as a first choice so I think some evidence surfaced or something is on the way that prompted this as a response.

    Can it be related to Epstein? I hope so. Trump needs to eat this crow.

      Seems to be prompted by a recently released book from one of the women he (allegedly) raped with Epstein for years. Virginia Giuffre

      Yeah that was my first thought.

      The royal family’s PR team would have been strategising this since forever.

      I expect they’ve been monitoring the Epstein situation, as the likelihood of a release increases they’re looking to distance themselves from this turd.

        Virginia Giuffre’s book – Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice – is being released posthumously on October 21.

        My guess is prince charming knows the spotlight will be on him again shortly.

          Oh, wow ok. Boom.

          God that’s kinda heavy-handed. You’d think they would have done this the moment they were aware that a book was in the offing.

          I imagine they got an advance copy and this is a reaction to the content.

            Honestly I’m kinda surprised that some right wing billionaire didn’t buy the company and cancel the book.

      Almost for sure used their own investigators to find out the truth. Then once they discovered the truth would hurt them and there’s enough public evidence they’re preemptively distancing themselves. As damage control. The question remains if they will self-report or wait for the truth to inevitably come out on it’s own. Likely the latter.
