The basis for vilifying Prince Andrew - and I’m at the front of the queue to do so - is allegations that came to nothing. No criminal prosecution. Civil case settled out of court. Why he paid £12m is up to him; his friendship with Epstein is well publicised and regardless of the evidence he’d nothing to gain (and everything to lose) by participating.
Nobody is putting the alleged crimes on a parallel. However if we live in a world where there’s only proven illegality and acceptable behaviour we have two innocent men. Morality isn’t a factor.
