Slowing down & dissecting King Charles' statement on Andy, like the Zapruder film, frame-by-frame, is not fascinating

The EXCRUCIATINGLY LONG "ANALYSIS" is here: https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/19/europe/king-charles-andrew-arrest-royal-crisis-intl-latam

HIGHLIGHTS:

1). He was his mom's favorite son. SO WHAT? Does that mean he's NOT an *****ALLEGED***** PEDOPHILE?
2). Charles didn't mention in his statement that Andy is his brother. Should he have done that? Anyone not already understand that?
3). "Charles and Andrew are not thought to have been particularly close growing up, given their 11-year age gap." I'll get back to you as soon as I GAF.

There's just too much going on in the world right now for me to obsessively enjoy all of the royals' dirty laundry.

we can surmise this disgrace to the family is very painful for Charles and the other royals and easily understand why the statement was quite limited

...the media is compelled to turn it into an "inquiring minds want to know" moment.

I think Charles said all that needed to be said.
