Prince Andrew Part 2

[SunsetBoulevard3]

Here is another thread to discuss the PA interview and its repercussions.

Humph!

"It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family's work and the valuable work going on in the many organisations and charities that I am proud to support.

"Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission.

"I continue to unequivocally regret my ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein.

"His suicide has left many unanswered questions, particularly for his victims, and I deeply sympathise with everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure.

now he regrets and sympathises !

Now to ship off to the USA
To face questioning.
Nothing less

Yes, I watched the dispatches documentary. It honestly make me feel sick. I didn’t really know who GE was or what he had done apart from being a sex offender.

Disgusting that PA thinks having him as a mate is ok.

I hope William and Catherine choose to avoid holidaying with an associate of JE in the future (Balmoral etc).

I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission

"Mummy summoned me to her room, and was very cross. I am grounded until further notice".

Retiring from public duties means he gets even more time to fuck about doing fuck all on the public dollar

Does this mean he won't receive money from the civil list and will have to live on his pension?

The civil list was abolished in 2013.

Andrew's funding arrangements since then are summarised here:

The Civil List doesn't exist any more.

There isn’t a civil list per se. The Queen is given a sovereign grant and she distributes amongst her family as she sees fit.
Andrew will continue to be subsidised by mum.

I wonder if he will continue as Colonel in Chief of the Grenadier guards?
That is a pretty high profile role. He’s only been doing it for a couple of years.

He needs to go off to a 3 rd world country and do some proper charity work. Dig ditches and get his handS dirty.
He can’t play golf and hang out with dodgy billionaires for the next 40 years.... ( but he probably will)

Sorry, should have said the Civil List was abolished in 2012 (consequent on the implementation of the Sovereign Grant Act 2011).

I think he's funded by the queen (and his navy pension of £20K) rather than directly from the civil list, Sue

DM had an interesting article this morning about how he may fund his £12K Apple watches and £13M Swiss chalets. I think there' are likely to be plenty more unsavoury revelations in the pipeline.

He needs to go off to a 3 rd world country and do some proper charity work. Dig ditches and get his handS dirty

I don't think this man should be anywhere near vulnerable women and children in countries with little to no rights.

Damage limitation.
A little too late though

Now start talking and answer at least a few of the questions the victims still have.

don't think this man should be anywhere near vulnerable women and children in countries with little to no rights.

Good point.
He could still do some conservation work away from people.

*He needs to go off to a 3 rd world country and do some proper charity work. Dig ditches and get his handS dirty

I don't think this man should be anywhere near vulnerable women and children in countries with little to no rights.*

I second that this man should be nowhere near people who rely on charity - how patronising to people who spend their lives helping others either overseas or in the UK, and how insulting to those who depend on this charity.

It's just been announced on the BBC website that he's stepping back from Royal Duties!!!

No chance at all; we'll doubtless be told the arrangements for "questioning" are being discussed, right up to the point when attention moves on - when it'll be quietly forgotten about

Thanks for the link to the first thread.
Off I go down the rabbit hole....

So he's stepping back from Royal duties. Bit like retirement then. Will he receive a pension?

According to BBC radio 4 he came to the decision after a series of meetings with the Queen and other senior royals.

Philip obviously gave him the “WTF” talking to and PA has had to do as he’s told.

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that before Diana died she said she was planning to share some unsavoury details about the Royals. It keeps popping into my mind that all this Saville/PA stuff might have been exactly what she was on about before she died.

It is worryingthat there are deaths around these revelations through history. If diana was going to reveal, and je didn't kill himself, the person that accused the guy from the pp youtube bonkers video (royal mug and obvious ring)...and others.

I worry for VG. I hope she stays safe with her family.
