Royal Family Biographer Defends Prince Andrew: “Soliciting Sex From Minors Is Not Pedophilia”

Authored by John Vibes via TheMindUnleashed.com,

Biographer for the Royal Family, Lady Colin Campbell, recently appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain where she defended Prince Andrew against claims of pedophilia.

In her defense of the disgraced prince, Campbell pointed to the “prostitution” charge that Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of in 2008, and attempted to downplay the fact that the girls were underage by suggesting that he was simply hiring sex workers.

“You all seem to have forgotten that Jeffrey Epstein, the offense for which he was charged and for which he was imprisoned, was for soliciting prostitution from minors. That is not the same thing as pedophilia,” Campbell told a shocked panel Monday morning.

Host Piers Morgan immediately challenged her claims, saying:

If you solicited a 14-year-old for prostitution, you’re a pedophile.

You’re procuring an underage girl for sex. That’s what he was convicted of. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, with respect, that is nonsense.”

Campbell then immediately attempted to backpedal, claiming that a distinction must be made between a minor and a child.

“Was he? 14? Well, I’m not justifying Jeffrey Epstein. Pedophilia, I suspect there’s a difference between a minor and a child,” she said.

“A 14-year-old is a child. Legally, she’s a child,” Morgan replied.

Campbell then admitted that the prince may have “made many mistakes,” but insisted that his only mistake was being too clueless to realize that one of his closest friends was a predator.

“You can’t criticize someone because they aren’t as bright as you would like them to be,” she said.

The controversy surrounding Prince Andrew has grown since his Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis. In the interview, the prince gave a variety of bizarre excuses and defenses for the accusations against him, including a claim that he could not sweat due to a rare physical condition.

He also denied knowing about the trafficking victim, Virginia Giuffre—formerly known as Virginia Roberts—despite appearing in photos with her when she was under the age of 18. However, he has previously suggested that these photos are “doctored.” Photographic evidence has been uncovered showing that the prince does, in fact, sweat. He also claimed that even though he did not remember meeting the victim on the night that she said, he does vividly remember his alibi, saying he went to a Pizza Express in Woking before returning home that night.

“Going to Pizza Express in Woking is an unusual thing for me to do, a very unusual thing for me to do. I’ve never been… I’ve only been to Woking a couple of times and I remember it weirdly distinctly,” he said.

The interview was so disastrous for the Royal Family that one of Prince Andrew’s PR advisors quit in response to the broadcast. And to make matters even worse, a video clip from 1984 recently resurfaced showing Johnny Carson, then-host of The Tonight Show, making a joke about Prince Andrew being a pedophile.

None of this looks good for the Royal Family.

I use to think this ‘royal family’ horseshit was just so much idiotic tomfoolery. It’s not. It glorifies predetermined authority-leaders you are commanded to obey due to their preeminence. But the walls are starting to crumble. In this case we have two losers who make a mockery of the concept. Andrew was born a laughable asshole and will die one. Charles will forever be known as the douche that left the best piece of ass in britain for a frumpy hag stating he wanted to ‘live in your trousers’. The king of england who aspires to be a yeast infection. They’re both as phony as the clown outfit uniforms they wear. That’s why the old lady will be kept alive no matter how many babies they have to bleed.

Dictator was historically (in Rome, obviously) a magistrate granted powers in times of emergency, and for a limited period of time. Plenty of Caesars (I believe Marcus Tullius Cicero and even Marcus Aurelius were Caesar at one time) were benevolent (or more accurately, working for the good of the Republic), if based on the denotation.

Dictator took on a negative connotation during Hitler’s reign among those with limited knowledge of ancient history, or with Sulla among ancient historians.

The most famous dictator was Gaius Julius who became dictator during the real estate and debt crises churned up by the Optimates. If memory serves me, he ultimately became Dictator Perpetuo before he died. Considering I am not a banker, lawyer, or Senator, and based on his actions, I’d have been honored to live under his rule.

Only a dictator will be able to fix America. My $.02. The concern during such a fragile moment in a nation’s lifespan is not with the actions of a good dictator, but with whether or not he can stay alive long enough to transition power back to the people.

It’s natural for men to be physically attracted to females under 18. A girl who’s 17 years, 11 months and 29 days old often isn’t repulsive. Just because you want to do something doesn’t mean it’s ok. Even if it’s legal it may not be moral. I no longer think I could marry someone 30 years my junior, even though it would be legal. A young woman deserves a young husband with whom she can raise up children. Using people like tissues to be thrown away is wrong. Not that I’m perfect, by any means.

Again, a hit.

People have lost sight of right and wrong. Legal and illegal mean next to nothing to me because I have a conscience that already lets me know if I am doing the right thing or the wrong thing and it doesn’t require pay and benefits plus retirement to do the job, it does it for free. It’s also there 24/7, it’s not intrusive at all (if I’m living my life correctly I never hear it speak to me) and it always knows exactly how to get me to pay attention to what it disapproves of by going right to my core.

“Is that who you are and is that something your wife and children would be proud of you doing?”

Boom, problem solved. I suspect that most people have a very similar experience.

A man his age having sex with girls his daughter’s age is wrong even if it happens to be legal. Add to that the fact that they are being trafficked by a pimp- and that’s what Epstein and Maxwell were, blackmailing pimps- and you’ve got someone who is either completely amoral or simply bereft of conscience.

Not sure if that’s the same thing as the results are identical.

They are shifting the debate. The big issue is whether Eppy’s, Weinstein’s or Andrew’s status influenced the girls to submit to their sexual advances. By turning it into a question of age, they create controversy and deflect the blame.

Pedophile?
Rubbish!
Jeffrey “Vermin” Epstein was a child sex-slaver and God knows what else. Pineal gland eater? Blood drinker?
His wealthy and powerful “friends” were also participant partakers in his very prosperous enterprise.

Another “royal house” looks about ready to loose its lock on a very cushy gig.

And, oh, by the way, Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Many people are not going to want to hear this, but this woman was correct. While I in NO WAY agree with Andrew having sex with under age girls, this is NOT pedophilia. It is Ephebobhilia, the sexual attraction to children aged 15 to 19. Pedophilia is the attraction to pre-pubescent children with zero signs of puberty, and generally the attraction is not based on the child’s gender.
And is it any wonder that this happens? There are two factors at play: An adult male’s biological imperative to breed with the most fertile female available to have the best success of passing on genes, and the constant media bombardment of very young models being further and further sexualized.
Brooke Shields was FIFTEEN years old when she appeared in the ad for Calvin Klein Jeans. A highly sexualized ad.
Prince Andrew never struck me as the sharpest tool in the shed, and he saw an opportunity that many men, rich or poor, might have very well taken if they though the girl was freely complicit. Even if they absolutely knew she was under the age of consent. Again, only if they though she “wanted it” and was not forced.
However, most adult males will under stand (females too) that girls of this age are still just that, Girls. They lack the emotional maturity to understand the consequences of their actions, and the act of sex with a man (or woman) that much older than they are is not healthy. Their bodies might be ready for sex but their brains very much are not. They cannot distinguish between physical sex and emotional love. Hell, even some adult women I know can’t do that either.
I would also like to point out that historically men typically married women/girls much younger than they were. The whole purpose of marriage at that time was 1. To have children 2. have a woman take care of the running of the house, cleaning, cooking, and 3. take care of children you already had from your previous wife that died having said children and 4. carrying on a title with an heir, but this was of course limited to the nobility/landed gentry.
There was absolutely no point in marrying a woman in her late 20’s when you could marry a girl of 13, 14, or 15 who had a far better chance of surviving childbirth and disease and at that point was more malleable. Women who were not already married in their 20’s were probably disfigured or had birth defects, nuns, or just light speed ugly and no one would marry them.
Even girls from wealthy families and the nobility did not wait to marry.
In my experience, almost all men will joke in some fashion about “jail bait” I doubt any of them would have sex with an underage girl, but if a girl is 17 today and 18 next week, has anything changed?
In the end, this is about a wealthy, powerful individual giving in to a morally reprehensible fantasy while he lived in denial about what Epstein was really doing. There’s the crime. Carrying on with legally underage girls while pretending they were there of their own free will is both a crime and a seriously fucked up mental state.
And finally, for the cheap seats:
I AM IN NO WAY CONDONING WHAT EPSTEIN OR ANY OF HIS BUDDIES DID. I think it’s disgusting and they should pay the price.
BUT…it does a disservice to victims of actual pedophilia, because pedophiles generally operate under a different premise, with a different victim group.
If you look at highly sexualized pictures of models, and I am talking main-stream stuff here, you have no way of knowing their ages yet if you did some research you would find out that a vast majority enter the business at extremely young ages, 12, 13, 14 years old. Is anyone putting up a fuss? Not really.
That whole disgusting nonsense of very young girls in those pageants is a pedo free for all, yet on and on it goes.
I mean, shit, Quinceaneras are a ritualized party to show a 15 year old girl is now a woman. She is not.
“Although a Quinceañera may appear at first glance to be simply a festive, lavishly adorned birthday party, it also has a deeper significance that extends to the girl’s personal self. The Quinceañera, which literally translates to “the girl who is 15,” signifies a young girl’s transition in becoming a mature woman who is capable of independence in that she can make her own decisions and symbolizes her transition and growth into womanhood. It also plays a symbolic gesture in that it reaffirms her beliefs to her church and her personal faith. This celebration has a religious ceremony followed by a party and combines a blend of traditional customs with contemporary trends.”

http://www.myquincemagazine.com/what-is-a-quinceanera-and-why-is-it-so-important/

So a 15 year old girl proclaiming she is now a woman while wearing a white dress is not a display of her fertility to any man around? Sure, let’s go with that.

We live in a world of hypocrisy and contradiction, with our young people constantly bombarded with the most egregious sexual messages out there, yet really nothing changes and nothing will.
Protect your own. That’s all you can do.

Well made points.

What struck me about Lady Colin was how upset she was at the impertinence of being challenged by her inferiors. The Royal family offers nothing in the modern era to anyone except status. They create nothing, lead no one, offer no higher standards or ideals, they just were born to the right people. Knowing that their only hold on power and authority is rooted in their firm belief that they actually have a mandate from a god they no longer believe in.

They are in a precarious position and they know it and having one of their own demonstrate what soulless shitheels they really are does damage to their brand. That’s what she’s defending, not his behavior. She could probably care less what Andrew does with the young daughters of the rabble.

Absolutely right. The clue is in her name. Lady Colin Campbell. Doesn’t even use her given name, just her husband’s. What we call old school.

Biggest problem for Andrew is that everything he said in that interview has already been proven to be a lie. Photos of him partying, sweating and dressed casually, all things he claimed he didn’t do.

All the charities and organisations he’s linked too are under pressure to disassociate with him. Several major sponsors of his current charity have pulled out.

If it is true that Epstein had cameras in every bedroom and bathroom in his NY house and there are more photos and even videos then he’s completely finished. Question then is what They will do with him? Exile him like they did Edward and Mrs Simpson? Where to and which country would have him?

This whole situation will undermine our establishment far more than is currently realised. It’s about time.

Virginia Roberts was 17 when she says she had sex with Andrew in London. Age of consent in U.K. is 16. She is legally a minor, but legally of an age to consent. It’s the consent that is an issue when she claims to have been trafficked to have sex with him.

A minor is anyone under the age of 18, so having sex with a 16 or 17 year old is not with an adult but then not with a child as most people think of a child. Though the two terms are used to mean the same thing, it is very confusing. Legally all minors are children until 18.

Apart from the consent issue, the only illegal act was buying her alcohol in the Tramp nightclub. Legal age to drink in licensed premises is 18.

Don’t know about the UK, but in many states 16 is only the age of consent to have sex with someone within a few years or your age. Even in states with 16 as age of consent, it can be illegal for a 35 year old to have sex with a 17 year old.

Puppy, why throw in the ominous stuff about Quinceañeras when you have teenage girls marrying in the South? All you achieve is to make Hispanics look like pedos or clit snippers. There’s no need for the article link when this explanation will suffice – A sweet sixteen is a coming of age party celebrating a teenager’s 16th birthday, mainly celebrated in the United States and Canada.[1] Similar celebrations are found in different cultures around the world, such as the quinceañera in Hispanic countries and the festa de debutantes in Brazil, both at 15 years of age. This event can be formal, casual, or semi-formal. – wikipedia. It is a celebration of turning the page from dolls to dating.

Tampico, there was that Judge Judy case where a couple had saved close to $40K for their daughter’s quinceanera party. The husband wanted to scale it back but mom wasn’t having any of that.

In other news: some folks spend $10K to $30K on lavish weddings in Mexico complete with food, drinks and musicians for a small town.

My mamacita says Mexican nationals have more than we do over here. I did manage a small quiceanera for my daughter’s 16th BD. I had no money since I was recently out of the hospital but the disability check came in just in time – $1600. We had the ceremony at the storefront church and one of the ladies offered her trailer park party room. Most of the money went for a white dress with lavender trim and a nice cake.

The workmen’s comp dude scraped all of the money back because I went to work before the legal 2 month period was up. I had asked the doc to give me a note so I could go back to work and the boss put me on light duty because of my arm cast. My sister covered all my medicines and food for that period. God bless her. She pissed me off recently but I couldn’t say anything mean to her. She wouldn’t deserve it. You guys wish you had a sis like her.

If you dig a little deeper, there are pagan roots behind the Quincinera. When the church was evangelizing Mexico and South America, the powers that be saw this “ritual” and realized it was a coming-of-age/fertility thing and realized it was best to keep it, sanitize it, and bring them into the fold. This has been done throughout history with Christmas and Easter, both “Christian” holidays that were sanitized and gussied up to make them look like a celebration of Jesus. Which they were not.
My whole point is this is sexualizing a GIRL. We don’t need tribal menstrual rites of passage for young girls anymore, because they are not going to die at 30 so they have to breed at 15.
I was in no way saying anyone was a pedo or practicing genital mutilation.
People in earlier history were not so hung up on age between marital partners, necessity often dictated the woman was young (to have babies), and men can father children pretty much until they drop dead. Historically men also controlled the land, the house, and the money, so if you didn’t come from a wealthy family and you didn’t want to end up a prostitute, you got married.
Modern sexual mores regarding age-appropriate brides are a more modern thing.
But our crazy hypocrisy of overt sexualization of virtually every single thing on the planet versus the moral outrage when they find out people are actually engaging in said sex, is ridiculous.

Real estate pup, Good points! That’s why I usually call the Catholic “pedophile” scandal the “gay priest problem”. That gets people really pissed because we’re supposed to pretend it had nothing to do with their homosexuality when it’s ALL about their being gay. Funny how 99% of the abused were boys – but not just boys, teenage or older boys. It was gay ephebophilia. They generally went not for pre-pubescent boys but for adolescents and older. Some of the “victims” were in their twenties. A lot of heterosexual men, those without scruples and who thought they could get away with it, would have sex with 15 year old girls if the opportunity arose. The molester priests were just the homosexual analog. So why is there so much less heterosexual ephebophila among catholic priests? Probably because gays are more intrinsically deviant. In fact, to be gay means to be deviant, and to be deviant means to be more willing and likely to transgress social norms. Thankfully most gays are able to limit their deviancy to buggering only adults.

Correct.
Pedophilia = attraction to pre-pubescent children
Ephebophilia = attraction to teenagers/adolescents exhibiting secondary sex characteristics

Thank you, I think? I can logically look at the behavior of others and realize that what they did was wrong while also pointing out the error of the accusation against them. For some reason, people sometimes think you are supporting a persons bad behavior when you discuss it and maybe state that the crime they are being accused of is not the actual crime they committed.
Do I think Andrew knew something was rotten with the situation? Most likely. So he was either in deep denial or didn’t give a rat’s ass but either way he should have known better. I find it exceedingly hard to believe Epstein’s “guests” didn’t know what this fucker was up to. I am sure they all had a good laugh about the “little people” who didn’t know what they were up to, and how fabulously brilliant they were to get away with it. Seems the psycho chickens have very much come home to roost and they are crapping all over the place.
I feel the same way about female teachers having sex with minor male students by the way. Still wrong. Won’t condone it, don’t think it’s funny, and I think it does end up causing problems for the boys down the road. I am also very much not a dem or repub, I find them both bad sides of the same rotten coin. And I live in Massachusetts.

The Divine Right of Kings allows them to treat us all as imbeciles.

If they speak it, it must be so.

I increasingly understand the appeal of a leader like Duterte. If Prince Andrew were slain, would anyone lament his demise?

She knew things.
She loved children and their welfare more than royal privileges, and as a commoner, did not succumb to the greed power temptation that enables blackmail.
She was eliminated because of those characteristics.
And, they spun the story, blaming eluding the offensive paparazzi and an unfortunate car crash.
But was it really the paparazzi her and Dodi we’re running from?
She knew things.

Let me ask a different question. Epstien had 3 or 4 playpens where him and Maxwell brought these wealthy or powerful men to romp in front of wall to wall cameras? Some had Scotland yard or Secret Service protection, all of them must have had Consiglieres. None of them knew or suspected that the joints were bugged or might be. None of them warned their clients or charges.
Servants gossip, guards gossip, walls talk and yet there men were making home porn movies willy nilly and agree to be blackmailed by a third rate chump and his ole lady?BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!!

“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture are afraid of something. They know there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

Woodrow Wilson

I imagine they have only become more adept at their machinations.

flea,
i suspect that these guys thought they could trust one another,and who knows how many have never been told to cooperate so they might not know that they’ve been compromised 4 something that occurred 20 years ago–
i’d bet that these guys aren’t blackmailed as much as we think–
you wouldn’t want someone w/such a conscience that they kill themselves or confess to their wife & then retire from public life–
at that point they’re useless to you when you urgently need them–

Red.
Trust and being stupid or careless enough to romp in a pad surely known to be bugged is not the same thing. I know it was only a big deal recently with 16 year olds and nobody batted an eye. That doesn’t mean they were careless enough to risk being exposed. I don’t think people were that stupid when in those circles it is and was well known that everyone was spying on everyone. It’s also known in those circles that most blackmail and kidnapping is quietly settled out of view. In addition to that, by the late 60’s early 70’s many kids were having sex by 14. Oral or otherwise. My little sisters were the exception because they had a crazy brother.
My point here is why suddenly now? How many movies does Epstien really have hidden or was he just a common pimp. Something else is in play here I’m sure. The accused are all rich white boyz. Maybe is more of the whitey bad and me too memes. I don’t know. I just know it smells.

Fleabo, from the small bits I could stand to read, Hollywood hopefuls not only have to pass the couch test, they have to perform some vile sex deeds and allow themselves to be recorded. This might be the same thing on an international scale for power hopefuls.

I know it sounds crazy but it falls in line with the idea that world leaders are in the pocket of international power brokers. Epstein might have been the go-between facilitating the recordings. Billy boy might have actually sat for that dress portrait. Sex with young girls might only be the tip of the iceberg.

C dog..
I agree that the hollywood newbies most likely have an “apprenticeship” but Pols by their nature are compromised from the time they make ward councilman and mid level bureaucrats at the fed level have most likely been forced to do a few dirties in order to be trusted with advancement. So I don’t think they would have to pose in order to provide security. Even if you are correct or if Red is correct, why now and why mid teen girls instead of so real good dirt from below the tip of that berg. Why all of a sudden and with something that in todays emotionally and morally deadened populace is trivial except when terrorizing white boyz. Something smells.

The “royal family” is long past its sell by date. These old world, sorry excuses for nepotistic leaders have been living off the British tax payer for far too long. And as they seem to be getting more loony, I suspect the average Briton is going to get tired of this quick. This is not the same nobility of the past. They have no real power, and the “king” cannot just raise their scepter and declare things anymore.
These royals may find a referendum, similar to the Brexit one soon on them, and royal palace may become a Wal Mart.
