Prince Andrew: Innocent until proven guilty?

Being a member of the Royal Family can sometimes be a privilege and can sometimes be a liability and this has been shown by the reaction of the Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and of other members of the Royal Family.

Prince Andrew has been condemned and turned into a pariah even before any case against him is dealt with in a court of Law. 

Denonciations by mass media are no evidence whatsoever. Denonciations by mass media are no verdict whatsoever.

Regardless of the lack of a verdict, Prince Andrew has been condemned by his own family and by his own mother that has thrown him to the wolves without there being any trial whatsoever. Why? To protect the Royal Family from scandal. Even military chiefs that are supposed to stand for 'innnocent until proven guilty' have turned to be cowards. The man stands accused of many things, but the man has not been convicted in any court of Law.

So, Madam, you throw your own son to the wolves to save an institution? Let's see what kind of institution your are trying to save. You eldest son before marrying his present wife was an adulterous man that had an affair with another man's wife while being married to Princess Diana. Marrying the adulterous woman does not erase the fact that the relationship started as an adulterous relationship. The mother of two of your grandchildren died or was murdered in a tunnel in France and now every goes on as if nothing had happened while your first born was having an illicit relationship. Interesting of presenting the moral values of the Church of England of which you are the Head.

Maybe some time in the future Prince Andrew will be found guilty of the crimes for which he stands accused but that time has not come yet. As any man he has the right to have his day in court, but the reaction of the Royal Family does not look like cowardice. There is no wonder then that Prince Harry chose to jump overboard and go to America. Like stated at the beginning, every man or woman is innocent until proven guilty, but the Royal Family seems to think otherwise.
