I mean, there’s long-awaited, and then there’s so long-awaited that you almost think you dreamed it up as a concept.

Last Saturday morning, August 10, 2019, the number one news story around the world was the death of Jeffrey Epstein, supposedly by suicide. The next day, Prince Andrew joined his mother, Queen Elizabeth, at church in Scotland, both of them with big smiles on their faces.
