Andrew is hardly moving into a 2 up 2 down is he?

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.

irrespective of how much the RF pay their staff...

Andrew formerly known as Prince can read the instruction manuals to the kettle, toaster and washing machine.

He may even have to fathom out how to draw his own bath.

I take it we can't ask for an FOI request on who pays for his food and loo roll?

@blossomtoes
Actually what you stated is misleading

The housekeeper job was offering the equivalent of @ £10 an hour . The London minimum wage was @£11 an hour

If the job is live in the Windsors pay around £7 an hour .

So why then were you questioning a poster who said they paid v low wages ?

You know why? Because those people live in, their living expenses including food are all covered. Their salary is essentially pocket money.

Seriously @blossomtoes ?

Only a year ago Charles was in the news for advertising a housekeeper job at SUB minimum wage - never mind minimum wage .

All while hoarding billions .

This is my take as well. I was struck by the thought that this is probably the first time in his life that he has properly lived alone.

I dont feel sorry for him but in his demanding to have live in staff I wonder if the fear of being alone was behind it.

Yup - and also for ducking out of equalities legislation. Here is our late 'beloved' queen in action:
Buckingham Palace banned ethnic minorities from office roles, papers reveal | Monarchy | The Guardian
This is not just historical - the monarch is exempt from the Equality Act and Freedom of Information Act - it really is one rule for them....

Are they? They could pay the Windsor/London going rate and people who know the Norfolk going rate would be queuing up.

Why do they need to negotiate? It doesn't matter that he has no humility - if he wants protection, he needs to get what he is given. What he has been given is unnecessarily generous, when you set it against the victims. The RF will always close ranks against us - at heart they despise us, and no wonder when they receive so much pathetic toadying.

Such a good article, I'm repeating it on this thread

More like they don’t want to live in the middle of nowhere in Norfolk. I doubt there will be much trouble finding staff locally - especially if they’re paid more than the going rate.

They are being made redundant now. No one obviously wants to carry on working for him.

I doubt people are tripping over themselves to serve him.

I despise him but he will be a target and does need security and can't be on a row of terraces in Luton. He's got no humility, this was probably hard enough to negotiate, it's a vast improvement, poor Norfolk but it's a significantly less bad solution than him staying at Royal Lodge.

And that’s exactly what it is - imagination. People have been working for him at Royal Lodge, haven’t they?

It's hardly a stretch to imagine no one wants to work for him is it?

I had never been able to get worked up by Andrew shagging Giuffre. I didn’t trust her one inch with her money grabbing and expensive American lawyers.

I think it’s fairly obvious that rich and powerful men will indulge in sexual exploits with paid women/models most of whom are there for financial benefit. I even couldn’t get worked up by the fact that Giuffre was 17.

So in the past I always put AMW into this category and classed him as a seedy, exploitative sleazebag but not a pervert or a paedophile. It always made me laugh when mumsnetters were frothing at the mouth and calling AMW a “nonce” for having sex with a 17 year old when they themselves were probably shagging much younger.

BUT having read stuff on social media about alleged extreme, violent, illegal and disgusting practices that went on then I think we need to change the order of the world. But if that happens then we need to prepare for economic and social collapse because they will take us all down with them.

As someone said, the only person doing time is a woman 🤷‍♂️

So not reliable, serious news sources like the BBC, Times, Telegraph or even the notoriously anti monarchist Guardian? Thought not.

Who would actually want to work for him I wonder ? Not me for sure.!

Metro, LBC, Express, Yahoo are others.

All over. Just google?

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor staff at Sandringham brought up the first 7 media articles.

Is that what you mean by what's the source? Or are you thinking something different.

Thanks. Since when has The Sun had the inside track on - well, anything?

I'm glad you have said this. Let's not forget either one of Charles' close friends Laurens van Der Post who raped a 14 year old.

Front page of the Sun - mentions his "staff" won't do as they're told, seems to be the implication...

But then, it's the Sun, so I'm surprised they haven't accused him of being pissed and killing some fellow football supporters.
