Who will pay his legal fees?

SprayedWithDettol · 13/01/2022 17:43

I was expecting this. Last night in the news Nicolas Witchell was calling him Andrew, not Prince Andrew, which I found very telling.

Interested in this thread?

It says on the news he can no longer use HRH ,I don't think they can take the Prince title away ,as I read it's his birth right ,but what this actually means ,I don't know ,they essentially retired him months ago .

DobbyTheHouseElk · 13/01/2022 17:43

That’s a massive deal. No HRH. That will really hurt him.

Best news ever. He will be Andrew now, hahaha. Bet he’s sweating now.

IWillFartOnYourCake · 13/01/2022 17:44

So he's an ordinary citizen and it saves face for the royal family?

Nice try, her maj.

Colderthanever · 13/01/2022 17:45

It’s seriously huge, she’s totally kicked him out, he’s not even hrh any more.

toomuchlaundry · 13/01/2022 17:46

Will they stop paying him money too, or does that stop when he stopped being a working royal?

IWillFartOnYourCake · 13/01/2022 17:46

I bet he's having a full-on toddler tantrum right now.

I'm sure there are many people who've had dealings with Andrew over the years who are very much enjoying this moment. He's such an odious twerp.

KravMaga · 13/01/2022 17:47

I wonder if he will be allowed to play a role in her funeral when the time comes. That will be a head scratcher for Prince Charles.

Buddywoo · 13/01/2022 17:48

He has only lost HRH for official duties. Within the palaces he will still be HRH with all the bowing and scraping that comes with that.

Word salad from Fergie about how amazing he is in 3...2...1....

FlibbertyGiblets · 13/01/2022 17:48

The BBC website says handed back not stripped, indicating he chose to rather than had them taken? Idk the importance of the phrasing?

the80sweregreat · 13/01/2022 17:48

Will he refund the money for his security bills that are 300,000 pa ?
The taxpayer could do with it.

Prince Andrew stripped

Thought he was about to receive 100 lashes in the market square.

Phew!

That ordinary citizen Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

@Sprucewillis

About time too. At least HRH has taken swift action. Wish the cabinet would do the same.
I'm not sure why you think this was swift action. It's years too late to not damage the monarchy.

Yes! I can see him, red faced, strutting about and whining "it's not faaaaaiiiiiirrrrrr!!!!"
IWillFartOnYourCake · 13/01/2022 17:52

If she gives him financial assistance from her personal wealth she wouldn't have to declare it would she?

Marmelace · 13/01/2022 17:52

@Aldinho57

That's such a shame, can we not do the same to Harry,
Give it a fucking rest, this is about a man accusesd of a sex crime. You fanatics are bloody pathetic!

What's he got to do with his uncles sexual relations?

In ye olden tymes he’d have been given a pistol, or a sword, and told to find some woods and go off to do the decent thing.

Short of locking him away in the Tower, Stripping him of his Royal patronage is probably about as humiliating as it gets in the modern day.

He deserves no sympathy from anyone.

SlidingInto2022sDMs · 13/01/2022 17:53

More like the pressure to take a public stand was no longer something she could ignore. I'd think she had no choice and wouldn't have done so otherwise.

That's how he makes his money, the royal access
