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

He’s moving from a 30 room ( 10 bedrooms and loads of bathrooms) prestigious house on Windsor estate with 5 members of full time staff running round after him, tidying his teddy bears to a small 7/8 room farm house ( 4 beds and 2 baths if lucky) on Sandringham estate where no one will care about him and he is sharing staff with the king, so a cook and cleaner will pop in. He is now having to have his brother sub him, and Charles won’t put up with the spending he did before

so it’s a big big fall from grace

Sadly he’s moving close to my favourite local seaside town . His house is huge but quite secluded . Hopefully we don’t bump into him in the chippy or amusement arcades !

Victoria DIDNT get money from the taxpayers - her Royal income ( to fund the royal machine, staff, upkeep of Royal residences, travel etc) like every monarch after her comes from the profits of the crown estates.
William and Catherine do NOT get taxpayers money. The only taxpayers funds that are spent on them are for security- do you begrudge them that?
Victoria didn’t pay for Sandringham - so how you think this is a ‘paperwork con’ is beyond me.
And as far as William and Catherine ‘not doing very much’ you obviously don’t understand what goes on behind the scenes and don’t think about the fact that they can never retire. They will be doing the job until the day they die - we have seen with QEII the damage that was done to her children by her being a distant parent. William is determined to ensure that does not happen to his children.

I’m sure the locals will welcome the sight of him shopping in Aldi

There’s losing your way and then there’s sex trafficking, underage victims, being part of a grooming gang… I don’t think Margaret and Andrew are comparable.

One committed suicide that we know of. I daresay there may be more, of whom we will never know about because they did not come forward.

And where he can carry on his prevuis/usual behaviour unseen, no photographers or press and no one will be any the wiser.
Who will know who he smuggles in there and with Sandringham to replace Buckingham Palace, Balmoral etc things will continue as before sans scrutiny. Perfect.
No wonder he skipped over there on Monday.

With 22 years in the navy, plus boarding school, he would be very accustomed to an HMO.

The scandal of Victoria amassing her fortune from the taxpayer resulted in her finally agreeing to pay some tax to offset the public anger .

Look into Victorian parliamentary disputes.
The Victorian taxpayer was outraged at Victorias greed
She had the money from the tax payer and she said it wasn’t enough and asked for more . She was given more . She also had the Duchy money but saved that for herself ( sounds familiar today) .

The anger was caused by her asking for more and more money from the tax payer while also not doing very much ( omg another similar tale today re William and Kate )

The purchase of Sandringham was described as a ‘paperwork’ con ( they have been at this a long time ) as she had been keeping the money from the tax payer and the extra she frequently asked from them said then bought the house from ‘private’ money
MPs had asked her to return the money she didn’t use ( for duties she didn’t do) but that didn’t happen

‘Randy Andy’ 🤢 the tabloids called him in the late 70s/early 80s, around the time he dated US actress (and photographer) Koo Stark.

The tabloids had a field day, and she wasn’t considered suitable by the Royals, (reports Queen pressured them to split) because Koo had appeared naked in a 1976 X-rated erotic film called Emily (or The Awakening of Emily).

It’s about a 17 year old girl who’s pursued by various middle aged men and women at a stately home (Wilton House) 😐

Outrageous 😡

Imagine they were doing that before.

Can you provide your source for that please?
Every book I have says different to your claim.
If you are right fair enough but l would like a verified source -
“Sandringham Days” by John Matson says “The Prince (meaning the Prince of Wales) had accumulated some £600,000from the Duchy of Cornwall. This covered the purchase price (of £200,000) and a further £60,000 was released from the Duchy to be spent on improvements to the (run down) property”.

It doesn’t say anything about funds from QV or Prince Albert who was dead when the purchase was made.

@Boomer55 perhaps worst of all her and Philip with all her power holding the line between her entitled arrogant and unpleasant son( apparently disliked by many staff as well ) and poor defenceless girls her Wealth and power helped him trample on

I live in a two up two down terrace, we don't want him here, especially as there are several schools in the area.

@LookingThroughGlass how do you know that's Adelaide cot

What a great TV event that would be, the Masked Singer would be toast compared with the Head of State Ballet Ballot

Yes, I'd be fucking furious if my employer took him on and made him my problem. We've probably all worked with a rapist at some point, such is the prevalence, but most of them wouldn't come with half the world's press tagging along too.

Everyone advocating that AMW should get a flat or a terrace and a job at a checkout - would you want him as a neighbour? Do you think the paps would leave him alone?

Surely its better that he is out of the way on a farm than cluttering up your local Tesco express

Appoint a figurehead head of state once a year by random ballet.

Fab typo - I'd love this! Perform Odette with a beauty that brings tears to the eyes, and you earn the big job for 12 months!

Arsehole as Andrew is, that's pretty clearly not true. Men of all social backgrounds get away with abusing women all the time. We don't do an adequate job of jailing rapists on NMW or benefits either. His privilege simply meant he had easier access and the stories were newsworthy, that's all.

This continues to make me so cross. All this focus on the men and nothing happening to them whilst the victims suffer and one committed suicide.

I'm sure the plan is to remove him so he doesn't flog his wares to the press but he's hardly going to be broke and broken.

He deserves jail for his involvement or at the least a tiny flat and a minimum wage job so he can find out how hard real life is.

He was always revolting. My DM used to fawn about the "playboy prince" which always gave me the creeps. My DF however, saw him for what he was. A predator.

Sure ok but doesn't that require evidence? Not a civil suit where you can just give them cash to go away but evidence a trial a conviction? The incident happened in this country wasn't even illegal at that time so how can he be tried for a crime that didnt exist? There are other bigger players that are still out and operating and hurting people Andrew is effectively hobbled focus on who isn't

It's like a magic trick everyone look over here while I do something over there

He was named apparently
