I agree. They “regret” their relationship with Epstein because it’s become public knowledge and is making them look bad. Mandelson, Andrew etc all carried on being friends with him AFTER his conviction, and most of the correspondence released has been AFTER he was released.This is nonsense really. Sorry for being caught out is all that it's about. Monarchies put themselves in positions and think that they are better or more elevated than other people - it makes them think that they can get away with vile things (and it you want to elevate yourself as being above other people it is vile to be friends with someone like Epstein)
If you wish to support or befriend a paedophile, great - that’s your personal choice. But don’t pretend you regret the friendship just because you want to save face in everybody else’s eyes if/when this becomes public knowledge. At least own the friendship and denounce his actions that you already knew about!
