@Hobbit , with regards to Andrew, surely US authorities could question him here? They ask permission, I think he would have to agree. All done in a UK police station.

If I was him there is no way I'd fly over there to be questioned, it would be an absolute circus.

Do we know if US authorities have actually made a request to speak to him?

He was formally asked by the DOJ in June last year. I agree, it could be behind closed doors, either in a Police station here or in the US Embassy if that's required to give the US questioners legitimacy in the UK.

Yes, if it was done as part of an indictment hearing in the US it would be a circus but surely there's enough sense to hold behind the scenes discussions to ensure a fair hearing. But I wonder if he hasn't gone for fear of being arrested and questioned under oath...?

She gave a statement to the Police at the time. There is zero point in questioning her more. She drove, briefly, on the wrong side of the road. She was sober, and not high. It was a mistake. What more is there to question?

Should she face court? That is for the CPS to decide, not me.

Andrew? There is more to come out. Good, or bad. The full story is not known.

I'm not sure anyone would voluntarily fly to another country to be questioned and possibly implicated in a crime. Once you have left your own country you are in a much weaker position. Interview him over here, if a case develops then talks will get much more interesting about the next steps.

I feel really sorry for her. For sure running away wasn't the wisest choice but she made a genuine mistake, with the briefest loss of concentration and the consequences were horrendous for all concerned. I can't imagine her life has ever been the same since. I feel a bit uncomfortable at the baying for blood - in the name of justice. Not sure what purpose it would serve except some sense of revenge for his parents...or at least his Mum who is the driving force. I truly feel for her but think it's time to let go and grieve.

iirc at the time the Maxwell woman was arrested, the cop in charge said he was ready to fly to the UK to interview Andrew. If he had nothing to hide, he should have taken up that offer.

She carelessly killed someone and refuses to face the consequences for that. And you feel sorry for her?

This comes back to a point I made to Hobbit. We don't know if a us police officer has requested to interview him over here. You would think that would have been broadcast from the roof tops had the request been made and declined. Interviewing over here seems a logical first step.

I am pretty sure that is not how it is in reality. Accidents do happen, but I am sure you are aware of this. Yes, a brief moment of not remembering which side of the road to drive on, and an accident happens.

Carelessly killing someone, no, I think that is a bad and wrong assumption.

Carelessly killed someone...Haven't you ever lost concentration behind the wheel but got away with it? I'm sure we all have and those moments where your heart stops for just a moment and legs turn to jelly. Mistakes happen - genuine mistakes happen. We're only human.

It's not baying for blood. It's potentially death by dangerous driving and a prison sentence after going through the justice system, which she shouldn't be allowed to skip because she flew back to America after telling the police she wouldnt

I don't disagree with you Amanda I just wonder if this has been evidentially established. If I was the parent I'd want a full a proper and full investigation to have taken place which would I presume involve a proper under oath questioning.

Let’s have a bit of common sense here

What Harry and Meghan have done is ultimately want to protect themselves away from the media first of all and there have been plenty articles showing proof of how they treated Meghan vastly different to Kate. Every single day for the past 2/3 years the tabloid media have battered Meghan with Morgan at the front with his pitchfork.

The interview allowed them answer questions that were posed to them - both have them have done nothing wrong - what if everything they have said is true - the chances of it are very high when looking at the history of the royal family. It maybe dramatic a touch but there are plenty that are so far behind the times

Any talk about countries leaving the commonwealth is just nonsense

There will always be the people that overreact and again the media smack in the media

Maybe all this is exactly what the Royal Family need - to make them more relevant to modern society and how people interact with each other

Andrew on the other hand is hiding away - he is being protected , the media are silent

Hiding him away will cause more damage than anything Meghan and Harry have done

you have a very different take on the damage Megan and Harry have done to the Royal Family and also about how they were wronged in the UK and their justification for doing this staged attack to me Phil - and anyone who thinks they did not completely set the agenda and all the questions, emotions and answers being meticulously planned is very niaive. I will leave it there rather than repeating myself

Very unlikely to be causing death by dangerous driving.

Based upon the case this week of the lottery winner in Lincolnshire I would think it more likely that the charge would be around careless rather than dangerous driving.

My undestanding is she called the police and the base. She waited at the scene until told by the police she could leave and went to the station for questioning. I'm not sure what else could come out of a trial either but don't think it will answer any of the "why" his parents understandably have. She shouldn't have run but not sure it would have been as bad as she clearly feared had she stayed.
