Prince Andrew

[anotheoldgit]

Breaking news Prince Andrew to step back from public duties.

[Rosie29]

A wise move - he couldn't really do anything else.

[davebro]

that'll give him even more time for philandering.

[NellieMay]

Rightly so!

Maybe he should try to find his "Camilla"?

[anotheoldgit]

Thank you Canary.

[Barsel]

He doesn't need a Camilla, he already has his partner in crime. Sarah Ferguson.

[Jackdaw33]

Iy has long been rumoured that Andrew and Fergie will remarry, but not while Philip is still alive as he can't stand the woman.

[Barsel]

The duke said he had asked the Queen if he could step back from public duties, and she had given her permission.
Yeah, more likely she told him without being asked.

I hope I never have to look at his smug, arrogant face again !

[gulliver1]

So then, if a member of the Public had been accused of the same offence, might they be allowed to step back instead of serving a prison sentence ?????.

[anotheoldgit]

Which of these titles should now be taken from him?
Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh, Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, Personal Aide-de-Camp to The Queen.

[Barsel]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Andrew and Sarah remarry at some point and go to live abroad. Probably after the demise of both his parents.

[Barmaid]

I saw one wag on Twitter sympathise for the heart attack he will be suffering soon....

What an absolute tool tho. I feel sorry for his mother for whom I have immense respect.

[Barsel]

gulliver1 He hasn't been accused of an offence, he is being pursued because of his friendship with Epstein and the obvious lies he told on TV.

[237SJ]

I doubt it's much of a loss really.

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, has he been formally accused of, let alone been found guilty of, anything?

[andres]

Exactly-^^^-What crime has he committed?

[MallyJ]

I love the 'he has asked the Queen if he may step back from public duties' I got the impression that no one wanted him to be associated with them...and I really can't blame them. Why can't he just be honest and say that no one wants him any more?

I agree, I thought the same!
