In the 'good old days' they would've thrown the ACCUSER in the Tower and forgotten them. At least we've moved on from that, even if it's only a little way.
In the "good old days" King Tampax would not be king due to his past lifestyle. Who covered CharlieBoy when he was frolicking around the palace with Jimmy Seville? Or where did the Canadian Orphans go when Prince Phillip and Queen E2 took them from their school by help of a Catholic Priest for a picnic to never never land? Lets be honest about Markles total resume, or is Yacht Girl not a job title? Lets see Harry's DNA test, you know with King Tampax and Princess D's relationship at the time it was done. I would be willing to bet there are some very interesting money saving DNA going on there. Plus rid of us Harry and rental family once and for all.
The vast majority of UK citizens are working hard, yet struggling.... however, Andrew enjoys a life of comparative luxury and privilege... in years to come (generations), people will look back and question how this was acceptable and tolerated. The Kings actions and decisions are highly questionable... he is, in effect enabling Andrew.
We’re enabling it all by allowing one family great power and fortune for doing sweet FA. We pay for their police protection, which either knew or didn’t, either way they’re apart of it or their so incompetent that the royal protection units should get their funding taken away from the tax payer.
@@andiharper4498 Charles and Camilla, William and Kate also enjoy lives of luxury and privilege but do very little that can be considered as work. Camilla does six engagements, then has to retreat to the Mediterranean to rest.
@@spookyt8692 The royals decisions and behavior is not down to the police. The Home Office (tax payer) fund and run the police. However, I agree with your sentiments.
Agreed. I believe that is what King Charles is gradually putting into motion. I can understand giving Andrew and his family some time to adjust to their new reality. Royal Lodge has been their home for a long time and they will feel the loss deeply. But, they should go even if they have to be forced by loss of brotherly support. Unless they can come up with their own money somehow, ethically and legally.
Bloodlines, class/caste, and money - there are serious ethical questions over the massive funding of Royal families many of whom are the richest in the world.
The late Queen gave Andrew the money to pay his lawyers to fight the case in Court as he denied all allegations. Once he got the money he "settled" out of Court...this is when the Queen stripped him of all titles etc!
It's all about his vanity. He doesn't want his friends and even his staff/servants to see him in a smaller place. He loves swanning around his large estate, which he feels is his due as a royal prince. He's embarrassed for everyone to see him downgrade his accommodations. Plus he's looking at the family as well. Princess Anne and Prince Edward both live on large estates so Andrew is stubbornly insisting that he receive the same. He's very embarrassed by the notion of family seeing him in a smaller home as well. It's all about his vanity and pride.
Neither does one woman. One of the theories going around is that Charles wants Royal Lodge for Camilla, so that she is ‘set’ after his death, which given his recent medical struggles, is probably on his mind.
Gold digger Cammi. Not much difference between Markle and her. She played the long game. I saw here William has had Cammi's sister Annabel ( not a pretty sight) evicted from some gorgeous old place after living there rent free for years. I never knew about that one. Camilla furious. William was said to evict Andy too and as he's let the building become dilapidated, against rental rules, have that building for himself and family. Makes sense to me. Frogmore for lazy Andy and Sarah. I'd be thrilled to live there and have my horse. Heads will roll and they are already. Definite coolness between the CONSORT and husband. Oh for Diana, whom I'm hoping will have her loving son reinstate the HRH. Get rid of the saddle faced sisters and don't allow her family any royal titles. I think William is going to be the toughest king for years and right for these times. Dethrone the Markles too, vile couple. Hopefully Coutts still has birthday boys birthday inheritance before Camillas American twin can spend it. She could go through millions in a week, no problem. The millions Charles has spent on his Consort. Should be against the law, millions from Cornwall, my childhood and many more year's home. Beautiful but poor, but too much goes to the P of Wales up to now, I hope. Our fisherman's cottages sold to rich townies and making it impossible for locals to own a cottage that could be bought for 200 pounds in the 50s. Some changes are needed for many.
YesI know two people who worked Royal Protection, one in Windsor castle, one in BP. The said everyone hated Andrew because he was so rude and arrogant.
Indeed it's what his mother allotted him. Charles and the rest of the family need to leave him alone. Ask Andrew and Fergie to pay or pitch in for the expenses and that's it. Charles and William have had their slip ups too.
They're still family, if Charles is a god fearing man he probably forgives Andrew. Also we don't really know what happened for sure. I think he's guilty as Sin but that's my poorly informed opinion. Also the King has to do something to help Andrew, can't just put him on the street that would create huge scene and publicity and no doubt all kinds of security issues with police etc. It's better for everyone that he's kept somewhere quiet.
"Prince" Andrew should not use his position to escape the allegations against him... He should be interviewed by the FBI, and if there are substance to the allegations he should be charged, put into prison, and tried just like any other subject to UK law... That he will not... Is why I loathe the raw family and am a Republican, and want Australia to become a republic.
I have heard anecdotes from servicemen who interacted with him in the Falklands. An rude and egotistical person with little regard for anyone “beneath” his attention.
Charles should stick him in a two bedroom flat above the garages at the Royal Mews where they keep all the Royal cars. Why should he pay for housing his ex sister in law and a brother with an enormous self entitled ego
I knew someone who used to work at Buckingham Palace many years ago, and he told me a story about Andrew when he was a teenager. He was in the palace kitchen, and Andrew berated everyone because they did not all stop working to bow and curtsy to him when he came in.

Andrew only has himself to blame. King Charles doesn't need a problematic relative who can't control himself. Andrew shouldn't be in the news because it is always bad news.

@@amyboleszny543 The Sri Lankan police found there was no truth to the scurrilous article that was published about Arthur C Clarke. The Mirror published an apology afterwards. You should take some care to separate fact and fiction, if you value your integrity. On a more trivial point, the Royal family don't choose who gets knighted in the modern age - that's down to the government.
Incorrect. The power to confer Royal Honours is a delegated royal prerogative vested in the Prime Minister, who is advised by an independent honours committee. The Sovereign - in Savile’s case, it was the late Queen Elizabeth - merely approves any list on the advice of her prime minister and the cabinet.
True. Tourists don't go to Paris to kiss the rear end of the great-great-great-grandnephew of Emperor Napoleon, Jean-Christophe, Prince Napoléon. They can if they want. Technically an emperor is better than a king, right?
Furthermore, the French aren't running around aspiring to get knighted. Not even the Spanish do that, and they still have a king. That's what Don Quixote was mocking, hundreds of years ago.
I understand that King Charles has given Andrew a deadline to start paying his own way or move. I think that's the kind way of dealing with the situation.
Shame Andrew settled since a trial would mean he would be in prison and there wouldn't be a problem. Allowing Harry back in and believe he wouldn't cause more problems would be another mistake!
One has to be convicted of a crime to get into prison. If the evidence isn't put forward, heard and judged by a court of law, prison is out of the question.
Too bad Monty Python isn't around to give this ridiculous story proper treatment. Why can't MI5 or MI6 take care of this problem once and for all. Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge!
eugh, if he had any sense, he'd go to Frogmore Cottage which has been done up. I'd prefer it 🙂 It would do him good to be seen to do what king charles wants
That's the best suggestion I've ever heard on this topic. I can understand why Andrew wouldn't want to leave his long term home. So fix it and stop freeloading off King Charles.
When he was working as a trade envoy, think he took a few ‘envelopes from a couple. Nothing was ever proved but he was protected by the Queen. He was foolish doing the the interview. He thought he could put the gossip’ aside. He is seen as a fool. And a spoilt brat’.
@Whiteraven-mm1p I wouldn't want to be relative of yours. One of the many strengths of King Charles is that he's kind. Andrew's life has fallen apart and he needs a bit of time to adjust to being broke and losing his home. Any relative would give temporary support to a suffering loved one. You apparently think kindness and generosity are weak and pathetic. Wow.
Actually, it's a money-making enterprise for your country. So many people are enthralled with the royal family, so many travel to the UK to sniff it out. I'm from the US, and I happened to be in the UK 10 days after Diana died and saw the mountain of flowers. It's quite extraordinary how much it fascinates those of us outside your country. Without that, your country would be less appealing to tourism.
@@WendyKeller yes I understand that I am also live in a Commonwealth country and understand the money and tourism side of it but I will never understand how poorly they treated Diana before and after her death and the Queen only came forward after pressure from her people to show her sympathy of her grandchildren’s mother.
@@ollie6004We must remember the Queen was so worried about the two boys. When does love and worry about your grandchildren take second place during such a shocking event. I sympathised with the Queen. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Andrew isn't treated better than Harry. Harry's house was empty and unused. Cancelling his lease didn't affect him in any important way. Harry's life has improved. He's living independently as he wanted and he's prospering. Harry doesn't need help. Andrew's life has fallen apart totally. King Charles is giving Andrew temporary support to adjust to being broke and to losing his long term home where he actually lives, as any relative would do for a floundering loved one. The King has given Andrew a deadline for when his subsidy will end. That is the kind and fair way to address the tragic downfall of a brother, in my opinion.
I guess as a royal correspondent you don't want to be too blunt but there was a lot of frankly irksome "some might see as" and "comes across as" prevarication. Andrew is living in the lap of luxury there is no two ways about it. He is getting an awful lot for a man who has done very little of merit with his life. He did go to the Falklands, sat at the back behind a lot of protection but he did go. Maybe the front line soldiers who really risked their lives should be given castles.
His security chief, Paul, said he does indeed sweat!! Pathetically brainless Andy. He sure sweated when assaulting his accuser! A woman knows these things!
King Charles has been supporting Andrew to the tune of 5 million pounds a year. If Andrew can find the income to support himself, he can stay at Royal Lodge. The King doesn't want him to leave. He wants him to pay his own bills.
I was told that he was off putting and a bit rude behind the scenes, by person who was working as a server. The person was working in a place Prince Andrew was visiting. According to my freind, he was upset that the workers didn't recognise who he was, and they should have done something when he randomly came into a room in which my friend was busy working. I cannot remember what he was supposed to have said as it has been a long time since I moved out of London, and I didn't remember. Naturally, as people who both come from countries without royalty neither of us know what his royal princely prince wanted. On that occasion noblesse oblige seems to have been in short supply.
So much for slimming down the disfunctional royal family. The Duchess of Edinburgh's outrider on a charge for killing on old woman, other than Prince of Wales, they should go out and earn their livings in their own accommodation.
Britain has a 1000 year old Monarchy., Face it, Royals are born into the job and have a duty to stay loyal to the country. Until the UK, Commonwealth and the Realms end the Monarchy, it is imperative that they remain in their positions as Head of State and the Royal support system. That is destiny, not some employment program. The Royal Family, by the way, is pretty admirably functional compared to a great many families in the country.
People don't seem to grasp that the King cannot kick Andrew out of Royal Lodge. Andrew has a 75 year lease with the Crown Estates, which is the business that runs the property portfolio for the Crown, for the property. Legally he cannot be evicted unless he is in breach of the lease. Until he defaults, he cannot be removed, sadly.
In the middle of the scandal, the Queen allowed herself to be photographed with Andrew, her favourite, in her car. That was deliberate. Then the then living Monarch bailed him out. Your sympathy was very misplaced.
This family reaped their status & wealth from murders, wars, theft, slavery and the historical abject subjugation of its people. It’s time they be relegated to a position to history themselves. Possibly a professorship teaching the public about the monarchy and all the backs they stood on and where they stand today. And a salary commensurate with all the other professors. And a prison sentence for Andrew as others have received for said crimes. You know, like regular citizens.
A professorship? They need to attend university before they can teach there. That rules out William and Harry. They're qualified to be groundskeepers, maybe. Their father was the 1st monarch to even BOTHER to get a university degree.
I disagree, the king or queen can have a good diplomatic, business and stabilizing role with foreign countries. Politicans come and go and cannot develop longstanding relationships with foreign countries.
As for how they got their wealth, that is nowhere near the amount accumulated by private landholders, financiers and industrialists. There are at least 5 other aristocratic families that hold more land and wealth from the more than thousand years of history. Nobody takes umbrage of those families, nor the founder of Birds Eyes, Cadbury and many others.
The Royal Family are making their own judge and jury for him,send him back to America so he can receive his proper punishment,indicted,arrested and judged by a jury which would if found guilty imprisoned.
Everyone who is human is the type of person to tell someone to f off. Everyone gets bad tempered... For royalty to have people always around them all the time for security or domestic purposes must be irritating.
Yes! It's totally normal and understandable to consider the people around you who spend their lives making sure you have no discomfort or problems of any kind as irritants.
Kick him out if he can't fund his lifestyle. Why should we pay for it ? He would call anyone on benefits a "scrounger" . He's far worse than them
Put him in a Council house in the poorest Estate possible.. Let him, and the rest of the royals feel real life..
I have zero respect for Prince Andrew, he’s insufferable.

@@lynnhubbard844 I could manage without one..
Andrew has always been arrogant.
The King is a human being and the head of a family.
As an Aussie, I do not want a King, especially a foreign one.
Why is the King paying for security for Andrew when he is not paying for security for Harry?? It would seem the King is more heavy handed with Harry
Neither Andrew nor Harry is worth it.
I had heard he’s cutting Andrew off…
andrew’s past needs buried.. harry is just rebellious
Different situation Harry wants Ipp status that affects all countries Harry visits plus he’s not to be trusted with information he would be entitled to see it would all be on netflix
Harry ain't family
I never thought Charles would grow into those ears, but I think he finally did.
Very good and balanced interview
What about Andrew relationship with PETER NYGARD 🧐
How much is Andrew costing the tax payer?
According to this interview, Andrew doesn't cost the tax payer anything except for his Navy pension which he earned.
King* Charles failure to separate his love for Andrew and Harry and his constitutional duty to crown and state will be the demise of the monarchy.
Let's hope so 🙏
...and his "love" for the side chick 🤢
King Charles..
@@tw25rw Not my King
He's nothing like are late Queen Elizabeth she cared about her people, not like king Charles He's a weak King 👑

DEFINITELY!
More of a waste of space than you, or anyone else?

Perhaps, Harry. The real royals were not attending “Freak-off parties” I am sure Meghan attended a few parties.

Are you seriously suggesting Shaun Combes is friends with the royals?

No. She doesn't look if she knows anything, let alone too much ...
@@kurtgodel5236 fergie knew Andrew was on the yachts with his mate and all the women. Fergie and Andrew knew Megan from the yachts. Everything is going to hit the fan. The royal family knew all along what Megan was about. It has made me wonder if the royal family are liars . It’s sad
Pure speculation.
Why doesn’t Andrew write a book? With his ex-wife Sarah fergie?
This rabble of a family knighted Savile. It is, therefore, not surprising Andrew's deeds came to light.

@@amyboleszny543 The Sri Lankan police found there was no truth to the scurrilous article that was published about Arthur C Clarke. The Mirror published an apology afterwards. You should take some care to separate fact and fiction, if you value your integrity.
On a more trivial point, the Royal family don't choose who gets knighted in the modern age - that's down to the government.
@@DeclanMBrennan Thank you.The retraction was not published over here. I have deleted my comment.
@@DeclanMBrennan I have now decided not to make any comments about what I read in the news because I don't trust any of it to be true.
Incorrect. The power to confer Royal Honours is a delegated royal prerogative vested in the Prime Minister, who is advised by an independent honours committee. The Sovereign - in Savile’s case, it was the late Queen Elizabeth - merely approves any list on the advice of her prime minister and the cabinet.
too jail with him shouldn't be allowed to get away with that sort of thing...average person would be in jail right now i bet
He may be yet he would be better to keep his head down
And, yet, he hasn't been convicted of anything. It's illegal to jail someone who isn't convicted of a crime.
Tourists still visit France to see the historic buildings - they don't need Royals to boost tourism and nor do we.
True. Tourists don't go to Paris to kiss the rear end of the great-great-great-grandnephew of Emperor Napoleon, Jean-Christophe, Prince Napoléon. They can if they want. Technically an emperor is better than a king, right?
They raise money for Charity and work for the people
Furthermore, the French aren't running around aspiring to get knighted. Not even the Spanish do that, and they still have a king. That's what Don Quixote was mocking, hundreds of years ago.
@@OAlem Yes, but wouldn't you say Macron styles himself as a little Napoleon?

Abolish the Monarchy!

If he paid to make it go away then he is guilty. What a leche.

This was great, thankyou.
Can't wait to see it michael sheen is a bloody brilliant actor
Sorry, no. Andrew should move out. Ex wife should not kept up. And I do not trust their two girls.
I understand that King Charles has given Andrew a deadline to start paying his own way or move. I think that's the kind way of dealing with the situation.
Andrew is an oxygen thief!
The Royals are a waste of space.
@michaelocallaghan3951 Are you a waste of space too or just an omniscient judge qualified to pronounce upon the worth of others?
Andrew and Epstein or Charles and Saville. Hard to know which one carried out the most perverted behaviour.
Unfair false equivalency.
Charles spent taxpayer and royal resouces over decades to deliberately interfere in preventing saville from scrutiny and legal action for his crimes.
It should be all over for the Royal family . They are a sponge on the UK and always have been .
Totally agree, get rid of the spongers, had enough, he's never had any patience in any case.
Absolutely. They have done so many terrible things over the centuries and this is just one more example.
Agree! Her Majesty was the bloody glue.Its time has come to end.
@@kxjxpathetic you should be ashamed of yourself
Pathetic you should be ashamed of yourself
Shame Andrew settled since a trial would mean he would be in prison and there wouldn't be a problem.
Allowing Harry back in and believe he wouldn't cause more problems would be another mistake!
It was a civil case, not criminal so, a prison term was never on the cards...
100% true 👏👏👏
@marymcnabb7149 exactly right 👏
So disturbing
I wonder what his daughters truly think?
I wonder what the daughters SAW.
He should be in prison He a very BAD man. Children 🙏🙏🙏🙏
One has to be convicted of a crime to get into prison. If the evidence isn't put forward, heard and judged by a court of law, prison is out of the question.
THE GIRL WAS 17 ABOVE AGE WAS NOT A CHILD
Too bad Monty Python isn't around to give this ridiculous story proper treatment. Why can't MI5 or MI6 take care of this problem once and for all. Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge!
eugh, if he had any sense, he'd go to Frogmore Cottage which has been done up. I'd prefer it 🙂 It would do him good to be seen to do what king charles wants
It is unfortunate that the King in his health condition has to deal with Andrew.😢😢😢😢
Agreed. From what I hear, Andrew has always been a burden on the family. I suppose every family has one or two who can't stay out of trouble.
Absolutely shameful
Prince Andrew should take some home rehab/construction courses,then spend his time fixing his home!
That's the best suggestion I've ever heard on this topic. I can understand why Andrew wouldn't want to leave his long term home. So fix it and stop freeloading off King Charles.
Prince Andrew is living in a enormous home filled with servants and it does sound like King Charles is picking up the bill.
When he was working as a trade envoy, think he took a few ‘envelopes from a couple. Nothing was ever proved but he was protected by the Queen.
He was foolish doing the the interview. He thought he could put the gossip’ aside. He is seen as a fool. And a spoilt brat’.
Weak and pathetic king still protecting his pathetic brother
@Whiteraven-mm1p I wouldn't want to be relative of yours. One of the many strengths of King Charles is that he's kind. Andrew's life has fallen apart and he needs a bit of time to adjust to being broke and losing his home. Any relative would give temporary support to a suffering loved one. You apparently think kindness and generosity are weak and pathetic. Wow.
The whole of Monarchy is a waste of space ,and our money.
Feed the starving and house the homeless.
Actually, it's a money-making enterprise for your country. So many people are enthralled with the royal family, so many travel to the UK to sniff it out. I'm from the US, and I happened to be in the UK 10 days after Diana died and saw the mountain of flowers. It's quite extraordinary how much it fascinates those of us outside your country. Without that, your country would be less appealing to tourism.
@@WendyKeller yes I understand that I am also live in a Commonwealth country and understand the money and tourism side of it but I will never understand how poorly they treated Diana before and after her death and the Queen only came forward after pressure from her people to show her sympathy of her grandchildren’s mother.
@@WendyKeller Says you.
@@ollie6004We must remember the Queen was so worried about the two boys. When does love and worry about your grandchildren take second place during such a shocking event. I sympathised with the Queen. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
It is probably that Andrew is slowly losing his mind,confusing days and years...slowly losing touch😮
Why is Andrew treated better than Harry?
Because Andrew is his blood brother, and Harry is the butler’s son.
Andrew isn't treated better than Harry. Harry's house was empty and unused. Cancelling his lease didn't affect him in any important way. Harry's life has improved. He's living independently as he wanted and he's prospering. Harry doesn't need help. Andrew's life has fallen apart totally. King Charles is giving Andrew temporary support to adjust to being broke and to losing his long term home where he actually lives, as any relative would do for a floundering loved one. The King has given Andrew a deadline for when his subsidy will end. That is the kind and fair way to address the tragic downfall of a brother, in my opinion.
Debauchery. Quite the tell when only one can tie a WINDSOR knot.
What says it all for the royal family is they continue to treat Andrew better than Harry. Thats messed up.
It’s not like the King has shown terrific morality. Adultery was something he has experience with so Andrew’s issue and somewhat related to. 😮
I guess as a royal correspondent you don't want to be too blunt but there was a lot of frankly irksome "some might see as" and "comes across as" prevarication. Andrew is living in the lap of luxury there is no two ways about it. He is getting an awful lot for a man who has done very little of merit with his life. He did go to the Falklands, sat at the back behind a lot of protection but he did go. Maybe the front line soldiers who really risked their lives should be given castles.
No one will ever forget the fact that Prince Andrew doesn't sweat.
His security chief, Paul, said he does indeed sweat!! Pathetically brainless Andy. He sure sweated when assaulting his accuser! A woman knows these things!
@lindageorge8209. Maybe he just doesn’t exert himself physically.
Not a fact...a joke!
@@libbyworkman3459 🤣
WHY is this old rotted mold ridden house so important to Charles??
It’s a modern mansion.
Charles doesn't want to pay to upkeep the property. Andrew is supposed to be paying for that but he doesn't have the funds.
King Charles has been supporting Andrew to the tune of 5 million pounds a year. If Andrew can find the income to support himself, he can stay at Royal Lodge. The King doesn't want him to leave. He wants him to pay his own bills.
1. Have you seen it? It’s a mansion.
@@stefashaler8340
I think you’ll find he actually wants him out. The money is nothing to Charles he has billions.
Looking after his naughty little brother wasn't part of the whole king packages for Charles!
Sarah Ferguson borrowed money from a lot of people. She was also caught trying to sell her accessory to Andrew years ago.
I was told that he was off putting and a bit rude behind the scenes, by person who was working as a server. The person was working in a place Prince Andrew was visiting.
According to my freind, he was upset that the workers didn't recognise who he was, and they should have done something when he randomly came into a room in which my friend was busy working. I cannot remember what he was supposed to have said as it has been a long time since I moved out of London, and I didn't remember. Naturally, as people who both come from countries without royalty neither of us know what his royal princely prince wanted. On that occasion noblesse oblige seems to have been in short supply.
So much for slimming down the disfunctional royal family. The Duchess of Edinburgh's outrider on a charge for killing on old woman, other than Prince of Wales, they should go out and earn their livings in their own accommodation.
Britain has a 1000 year old Monarchy., Face it, Royals are born into the job and have a duty to stay loyal to the country. Until the UK, Commonwealth and the Realms end the Monarchy, it is imperative that they remain in their positions as Head of State and the Royal support system. That is destiny, not some employment program. The Royal Family, by the way, is pretty admirably functional compared to a great many families in the country.
People don't seem to grasp that the King cannot kick Andrew out of Royal Lodge. Andrew has a 75 year lease with the Crown Estates, which is the business that runs the property portfolio for the Crown, for the property. Legally he cannot be evicted unless he is in breach of the lease. Until he defaults, he cannot be removed, sadly.
Rare intelligent comment
Prince Andrew is in default of the lease. It has been stated that the lease includes clauses for proper maintenance.
@@susanhoneycutt5610 Yes, his income is not enough to maintain Royal Lodge.
But he’s in breach of his lease.
But the lease agreement says Andrew has to repair the property and he can’t afford it
Funded jimmy Saville too .
Deportation
The Monarchy is in Big Dire Strates 💯
I felt sorry. 4 the Queen 💯
It is SO extravagant. Live like European Royals in apartments, not palaces, castles and stately homes.
Somone should call the Police! (and other UK rock bands)
In the middle of the scandal, the Queen allowed herself to be photographed with Andrew, her favourite, in her car. That was deliberate. Then the then living Monarch bailed him out. Your sympathy was very misplaced.
@@stconstable was it £12 million to settle out of court? The Queen must have funded most of that.
Why? She thoroughly and relentlessly enabled his disgusting behavior as she guarded all of her family members from consequences her entire life.
This family reaped their status & wealth from murders, wars, theft, slavery and the historical abject subjugation of its people. It’s time they be relegated to a position to history themselves. Possibly a professorship teaching the public about the monarchy and all the backs they stood on and where they stand today. And a salary commensurate with all the other professors. And a prison sentence for Andrew as others have received for said crimes. You know, like regular citizens.
A professorship? They need to attend university before they can teach there. That rules out William and Harry. They're qualified to be groundskeepers, maybe. Their father was the 1st monarch to even BOTHER to get a university degree.
I disagree, the king or queen can have a good diplomatic, business and stabilizing role with foreign countries. Politicans come and go and cannot develop longstanding relationships with foreign countries.
@@OAlem Prince William has a University degree.
As for how they got their wealth, that is nowhere near the amount accumulated by private landholders, financiers and industrialists. There are at least 5 other aristocratic families that hold more land and wealth from the more than thousand years of history. Nobody takes umbrage of those families, nor the founder of Birds Eyes, Cadbury and many others.
@@OAlem thought William has a double university degree.
There all at it thats for sure
Thanks👍🏼
Andrew’s arrogance and sense of entitlement made him believe he was fireproof.
Why doesn’t Andrew start a horse farm and raise horses for racing riding for pets and for work horses on farms. ?!
The Royal Family are making their own judge and jury for him,send him back to America so he can receive his proper punishment,indicted,arrested and judged by a jury which would if found guilty imprisoned.
Everyone who is human is the type of person to tell someone to f off. Everyone gets bad tempered... For royalty to have people always around them all the time for security or domestic purposes must be irritating.
Yes! It's totally normal and understandable to consider the people around you who spend their lives making sure you have no discomfort or problems of any kind as irritants.
Your sympathy is so misplaced.
Fergie has moved OUT of Royal Lodge!!!!
