How convenient

I don't care whether he really has it or not as long as I don't have to see his horrible slimy self!

AnneShirleysNewDress · 02/06/2022 16:29

Someone's put their foot down!

rnsaslkih · 02/06/2022 16:30

Whether it’s true or not, it was the best thing to do. Very few people would have been happy to see him on display and this has avoided it.

Dobbysgotthesocks · 02/06/2022 16:31

When they said a few days ago that the queen had been on a short trip up to Balmoral, my thoughts then was that she'd taken Andrew there and locked him in to keep him out of the way 😂

Squiff70 · 02/06/2022 16:31

As soon as I saw this on Sky News a short time ago, I said it was a load of bullshit.

Guilty or not he should stay well away from the Queen's celebrations this BH weekend. She probably wouldn't want him there anyway. He's brought the Royal family into disrepute and absolutely should not be a visible presence at what should be a special and happy time for the Queen.

No one wanted him there anyway except the Queen

How awful of her to have an opinion, I mean what has it got to do with her?

YanTanTetheraPetheraPimp · 02/06/2022 16:34

Bullshit. Far too convenient.
It’s more like he’s sulking I reckon 🙄
Odious man.

I wondered about getting "tactical covid" to get out of an awkward obligation a couple of months ago. Didn't do it though, thought it would tempt fate.

Is covid particularly dangerous for someone who can't sweat?

mathanxiety · 02/06/2022 16:36

The queen as a human being and the queen as a figurehead of state are two separate entities, @ancientgran.

Her feelings about her son the nonce are irrelevant on accasions of state. If the monarchy disapproves of human trafficking and men using exploited minors for sex, and accepting money from dubious sources, then a state occasion is the perfect time to make that clear.

So she is the one person who can't have an opinion on how to celebrate her anniversary? You have to be joking, I'm pretty sure she'd put you in your place if you tried that with her.

Charles, William and Harry?

There are young female family members there and probably staff who need to be kept safe. Plus they don't like him.

the80sweregreat · 02/06/2022 16:40

I bet his sitting about in his Union Jack dressing gown of doom expecting paracetamol and water to be brought to him on a sliver platter. I Hope he chokes on them.

Alexandra2001 · 02/06/2022 16:41

About as believable as "Boris almost died from Covid...." only thing more unbelievable is that they expect us to believe this crap.

I never give any headspace to "Randy Andy"
I just feel sorry for Beatrice and Eugenie who have done nothing to deserve a father like him

They still support him as far as I know. I don’t feel sorry for anyone that stands by men like that.

@ancientgran She doesn't seem to have any opinions on anything at all, she agrees with everything any Govt or PM does and banks 'billions whilst millions in her "Kingdom" go without.

Odious woman.

Justmuddlingalong · 02/06/2022 16:44

I was a sweaty mess when I can COVID. At least he doesn't need to worry about that symptom. 🙄

We don't know what she agrees or disagrees with as a person. As queen, she isn't allowed to disagree with what the government does.

Yep, but they do. Look how many posters on here were wishing Boris well at the time. Believing everything they were being told. Apparently he was still working, even when he was being moved near to ventilator's.

You think people would be ‘put in their place’ by the Queen? Do you think people that have zero respect for that family would have any fucks to give. 🤪🙃

Andrew isn’t their, it’s a win for the public

The song

Would have preferred it if it wasn't sung by grown men in school girl uniform.

She'd put you in the tower, mathanxiety. Know your place.

New strain passed on by inappropriate touching?

Certainly not by sweat.
