In the Times report, journalist Matthew Parris, a former British mp, praised Prince Andrew for being "compassionate and responsive" in this "heartwarming story."
The Times report came on the same day that Andrew received a subpoena in a sexual abuse lawsuit involving the American billionaire Jeffrey Epstein: Virginia Giuffre accused him of sexually abusing himself in London, New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the early 2000s.
The article on rescuing the dog reads: "The dog, enraged by the barking of the Royal Guard dog in the driveway under the window, ran to the open window, staggered on the windowsill, looked almost unsteady, and was about to fall downstairs." ”
The other guests noticed too, but Andrew took action. He rushed to the window and caught the puppy in time, holding it safely in his arms. ”
"Well, it's not a beautiful maiden, and there's no dragon, but it's a heartwarming story full of compassion and quickness—and, for Prince Andrew, every little thing helps."
The article states that "Prince Andrew has received little positive publicity in recent months" and claims the incident took place in an unknown castle in Scotland.
During the Queen's annual summer vacation, Prince Andrew had been visiting the Queen at Balmoral Castle, unsuccessfully despite attempts by Jover's legal team to hand him the summons. However, Prince Andrew has now been subpoenaed through his U.S. attorney, paving the way for the case to move forward.
The Times received a satirical response from many netizens, including some certified users, on Twitter for the report.
Best-selling author and political commentator James Felton sarcastically wrote to his 300,000 Twitter followers: "It takes a steely heart not to cancel all investigations into his alleged sexual offences." ”
British comedian Katy Brand, who has 95,000 followers, wrote: "Guys, I retracted all this; apparently Prince Andrew recently caught an escaped dog. So the next time a stupid woman says she was raped by him as a teenager, let's think back to that. ”
British journalist Luke Bailey tweeted: "Prince Andrew may have been indicted for alleged sexual assault, but he also picked up a puppy and, as a result, it is impossible to figure out if he is a bad guy or not." ”
Prince Andrew has always denied having sex with Jover, but he withdrew from public view after failing to apologize to Epstein's victims in a bad interview in November 2019.
Asked if he regretted this friendship with Epstein, he replied: "I don't regret it now, because the reason I met through him or because of him, and the learning opportunities I got were actually very useful." ”
"We weren't that close, so I mean, I'd go to his (Epstein)'s house, but that's because of his girlfriend, not because of him," Prince Andrew said at the time.
After that interview, he withdrew from public view and offered to help police with any investigation. Prince Andrew once said: "I continue to express my deep regret for my misjudgment with Jeffrey Epstein. His suicide left many outstanding questions, especially for his victims, and I deeply sympathize with all those affected and hoping for some form of closure. ”
Juffer's attorney wrote in the initial lawsuit documents: "According to Prince Andrew, he met epstein's girlfriend Maxwell in 1999. ”
"Thereafter, Prince Andrew became a regular visitor to Epstein's homes around the world, including New York City, where he sexually abused Joff at the invitation of Epstein and Maxwell, when she was a minor."
"After publicly pretending not to know about Epstein's sex trafficking activities and showing sympathy for Epstein's victims, Prince Andrew refused to cooperate with U.S. authorities in investigating and prosecuting Epstein and his accomplices."
"Prince Andrew sexually assaulted and beat Joover, who was 17 at the time. Thus, under New York common law, Prince Andrew was responsible for the beating and the emotional distress caused by the deliberate infliction, and the damage to Joff was severe and lasting. ”
