He had to make a statement, a 10-page statement
0:03
which he tried to keep secret, but various newspapers got an order
0:08
and had it lifted and had it published. Now, in this statement, he suggests, bizarrely
0:15
that he and Andrew secretly and covertly entered Windsor Castle to discuss these matters
0:24
about the alleged Chinese spy and a finance company. I mean, I don't understand why they'd have to covertly
0:34
get into the Winter Castle, because if you can get in there without ever being seen
0:38
it's quite easy. You don't have to crawl along in camouflage along the lawn
0:43
It's just ridiculous. So we now have the situation where they've named the king
0:49
as having discussions on this matter. Now, the palace have completely hit back and said
0:54
absolutely rubbish there was a meeting there no doubt about that but that was to discuss Prince Andrew funding whereas we all know that his money has been halted And I think Charles is still giving him some money but that is going to end
1:12
So it is quite a tenuous link. It's quite complicated. And I'm not actually sure why this Dominic Hampshire has made these allegations
1:21
to try and sully the king into thinking that he was dealing
1:25
with some sort of alleged Chinese spy. I mean, the only thing he does seem to really achieve
1:32
is maintaining that sort of toxic brand around Andrew. Yes, yes, exactly
1:39
I mean, Andrew is literally a walking time bomb. Every time he moves and does something, you know
1:47
there's an explosion of some sort. Now, I think it's a bit naughty to try and bring your brother, the king, into these discussions
1:58
when clearly according to the palace and I assuming the palace is telling the truth there was no discussion involving this Chinese alleged spy or the company that he was supposed to have been involved in
2:10
the finance company. Listen, I just want to ask your thoughts. I never really got to talk to you about this one
2:16
This Virginia Gafray business with Andrew, because now she's come up, she's supposed to..
2:23
How many days has it been now? Five. Is it day five? Five. Is she still alive
2:26
Yeah, she's still alive. She said, look, it did seem that she was living in a world of fantasy saying that
2:33
We don't know whether she's not well or not, so we have to obviously be careful because she may be sick
2:38
but does this slightly sort of discredit in some respects if she's actually fine
2:45
Well, I was talking to my wife about this yesterday because I was reading the latest episodes of what this woman is supposed to have done
2:53
that the car crash was no more than a bump in a broken glass
2:59
She according to the person who was driving the car she wasn even driving the car She got a slight black eye My concern is that this does not show her in a great light
3:14
Now, I'm not making any apologies for Prince Andrew in any shape or form
3:18
because the bottom line with him is he's paid £12 million to a woman he claims he's never met
3:25
But there have got to be questions asked into her background. and what she does and what she doesn't know
3:34
because she's not coming out of this, you know, at all. Well, I feel sorry for her. She really is ill and injured
3:42
but it really is... It smells like horrible tomorrow. Well, of course, Prince Andrew's denied all allegations
3:50
and he may have paid that money because it was the jubilee, wasn't it
3:54
And Willie obviously didn't want to, you know, he probably... He may have done that, but obviously he's denied everything
3:59
But it does question her. And it does sort of put light on whether she's really telling the truth on things
4:05
If this thing, she's sort of elaborated in some way
