And again you are ignoring the lies as listed here in the timeline in March 2011, snd the email,. And of course you think it is perfectly acceptable to accept being put up by a convicted paedophile child traffickers.

Maxwell in her interview said it was around 2000-2001 that Andrew met Epstein, and that rather than her introducing him, Andrew only got on with Epstein because Maxwell was around. She was already friends with Andrew and Sarah.
So Alastair Watson would need to provide evidence.
At any rate, Andrew could have become friends with Epstein when he said he did, and met him earlier in a non-friendship context, and his claim would not be an all-out lie. It could have been a mistake. The point I'm trying to make is that he didn't lie about Giuffre. If he did lie about when he met Epstein, that's not an offense that you would strip him of his titles for.
To put it in perspective, Charles had an affair with Camilla while she was still married but was allowed to become king.
