Fed up hearing the breaking news....Andrew has left royal lodge.
So what, hes moving from one mansion to another. With lakeys waiting to clean the place and people to shop and cook for him. Etc etc.

As if hes going to ever live like us plebs.

And his victims will never get justice

Well it’s perhaps something to do with him being 65 and that he wouldn’t know where to start. How would it benefit the community?

The community would get a lot of enjoyment from watching him pick up litter, muck out pigs etc.

65 is not to old to do this. He can be taught.

yes, he has likely got another 30 yrs in him, with his easy life and mum's genes.

As his parentage has often been questioned though, he could be like P Philip and have good genetics that side too or like Lord Porchester and not have quite so long...

Sorry, but I think you are absolutely deluded if you think Andrew is going to run a home and cook meals! (Your post could well be tongue in cheek, not sure!)

Of course he isn't! He will have housekeepers and a cook to do all that. He won't be timing his boiled eggs to perfection!

I am sure the Palace would love us to be thinking that... oooh, aren't they great, they have dealt with Andrew and now he has to fend for himself! But no, not in a million years.
A housekeeper will arrive to prepare his breakfast, and whilst he is out on his horse, someone will clean the house, iron his clothes, lay them out, and so on

Don't ask for sources please, but I think we are seriously deluded to imagine he is not going to have servants

Edited

I was being a bit tongue in cheek Though I do like the idea of QC crossing posh loose tea off the list and replacing it with own brand tea bags.

The big difference for AMW is that, if the gossip is right, he wont be having his own live in staff. Staff will come and 'do' for him but not be there at his beck and call.

For a man who has spent his life being looked after and trading on mummy being queen it is all going to sting a bit.

I can see him buggering off to the Middle East somewhere. He will then spend his days in some dusty palace dreaming of 'the good old days'.

Unless of course someone can get him into court.

Is there any good reason why he can't work on a farm? Mucking out pigs, stables etc. Why the fuck not. Call it community service - he's certainly not going to get any other kind of comeuppance.

I think Prince Philip moved to Wood farm and-whilst Andrew is there temporarily-he'll be moving to Marsh farm.

sashh · 06/02/2026 09:46

Treylime · 06/02/2026 09:26

Marsh Farm has apparently got stables and I bet he will have access to the stables at Sandringham so I think he will be out riding a lot and may well still be gurning at the public

What do you think it would take to bribe a horse to throw him? I hear carrots are popular with horses.

Treylime · 06/02/2026 09:26

Craftysue · 06/02/2026 07:54

At least he won't be waving and gurning at the public. I couldn't believe the pictures of him waving. He has absolutely no shame. I'm surprised nobody gave him a bloody mouth full .

Well, the poor love will have to make do with two reception rooms after living in a house with 30 rooms and 6 lodge cottages. How will he possibly cope?

I read earlier that staff at Sandringham are striking and refusing to work for AMW!

Love this!

AMW is an arrogant idiot with a huge sense of entitlement. I think he would see living in a palace as his birthright - certainly not some !shabby cottage'

And the reply to that surely should be “Well it was good enough for your father”.

Prince Philip lived in a cottage on the estate for several years from choice. Why wouldn’t Andrew do the same?

I will bet my back garden that the 'cottage' is for show. AMW will be ensconced in The Big House at Sandringham.

Her youngest son is Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh.
Andrew was the third child of four.

You over estimate the number of shits give

MO0N · 05/02/2026 22:50

If they punish Andrew too much he'll spill the beans on everything & take them all down with him.

TunnocksOrDeath · 05/02/2026 22:31

EmeraldShamrock000 · 04/02/2026 08:41

It has sullied the Queen, all the work she done, only for her youngest son to destroy her legacy.
Thankfully she isn't here to witness the fall-out .

He'd be better off living in Marsh Farm in Luton. Good community spirit, plenty of amenities, regular police presence.

Andrew is hardly moving into a 2 up 2 down is he?
simpsonthecat · 05/02/2026 13:06

BIossomtoes · 05/02/2026 12:59

He won’t. Life will continue as usual with everything done for him. You lot are really letting your wishful imaginations run away with you.

Thank you, yes, I should've read your post before I typed mine!

I think AMW's shopping will be added to the Sandrigham online shopping order. I like to imagine QC casting a beady eye over his requirements.

AMW has never run a home in his life. He will be shocked to discover that not only will he have to make his own drinks but that toilet paper etc doesnt miraculously appear unless he orders it.

All the stuff that us plebs do without thinking, having learnt as children, he is going to have to learn very quickly.

I feel sure he will be eventually.
