Prince Andrew heckled as they escort HM coffin.

[JustTheOneSwan]

It was inevitable but in this I feel very sorry for his siblings and daughters.

Agree with many of the posts already; he is vile but is also permitted to mourn. It just so happens given who his mother was many aspects of that are very public.

Perhaps they should have found a way for him not to be there, which is harsh but consequences are what you get for being an abuser. Still a lot of COVID about and he may have needed to isolate for a few days instead….

I understood Charles and Wills were zero tolerance on him. behaviour but also wanting to trim down working Royals. I don’t think there is any coming back after this for him.

Since when has twattery been a criminal offence? Chilling.

This isn’t freedom of speech, it’s twattery of the highest order.

It doesn't stop being freedom of speech because you don't like it. Speaking of misinformation. It's not only people who agree with you who are allowed to say things.

Exactly
My sister told me about the video and I honestly thought that she was exaggerating.
When I saw the video I was horrified. Definitely worse than I expected
Andrew is just vile.

The man who heckled was rightfully arrested. This isn’t freedom of speech, it’s twattery of the highest order.

Wow. Facist Britain here we come.

You may be willing to sign over your right to free speech, but I hope most of us aren't. You do realise that defending free speech is about defending it even when you think it's the wrong time and place, even when you think it's disrespectful?

If no one disagreed with the timing and content of a protest, there would be no need for one.

Where is the hysterical information? We don't know who he else he slept with, what we do know is that he spent a lot of time with a known sex trafficker

It doesn't stop being freedom of speech because you don't like it. Speaking of misinformation. It's not only people who agree with you who are allowed to say things. actually, calling someone a paedophile is defamation. You might want to look up the meaning of the word.

Did Andrew and the other royals here what was shouted out to him ??

*fascist

Every time we see Andrew in public, it is the Royal Family’s PR team doing a ‘temperature check’ to see if and when he can be visible again. They think the public will be sympathetic because he is mourning the loss of his mother and they are right. The public have been. If there was no protest I have no doubt we would be seeing more of Andrew in the coming years. A drip, drip, drip approach so it creeps up on us without us realising.

PR advisers run the Royal Family. And Andrew will have his very own team around him working to raise his reputation.

Gosh if Twattery is an arrestible offence, where do I send my reports?

Do you not see that what you've said there proves everyone else point?. The man may have been wrong to disrupt the procession (personally, I accept people's right to hold that view, but I'd prefer that powerful men exploiting the victims of sex trafficking were called out) but what was illegal about it?

Hear not here

People have called him a paedophile.

A paedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to prepubescent children.

So yes, it is misinformation and likely defamation to refer to Andrew as a paedophile.

No one is questioning his right to grieve , they are questioning his need to be paraded so publicly

Free speech is also a right

Urghhh yuck!
The 17 teen year old had been trafficked. It would've been wrong whatever her bloody age! That she was so young makes it doubly wrong (in my eyes at least), but he isn't off the hook just because she was over the age of consent! And which brings me back to.....trafficked. No consent!

Does he know that and thought taking the opportunity to publically grope his DD would be a winner? 😆

The protester didn't call A. a paedophile.

You might want to look up what the man who heckled, the person you were referring to there, actually said.

I'm sure Andrew will defend his name on court...oh wait, that won't happen as he refused to engage with the American authorities and he paid his his victim who was brave enough to challenge him

Exactly. That was the time and place. He'll be straight back to his ivory tower after this - and if he was in any doubt about rehabilitation of his image that takes care of that.

Lots of people on MN have including on this thread.

I think so . He was very clear .
Someone put up a video taken from
a high window above the street and he could be clearly heard.

Although I don't think it matters whether Andrew heard or not .
That young man's message was for society as a whole I feel .

Yep, but that's clearly not what the poster was referring to because it followed on from the sentence about the protester. Had she been referring to the posters on here, it wouldn't have been written there.

Free speech doesn't extend to verbally abusing individuals (regardless of what you think of them) in public though. If someone was shouting and harassing you in the street, you'd rightfully expect the police to do something about it.

Let's not forget Jimmy Savile was a favourite of the Royals too - but keep on boot-licking 🙄

Plenty of people were oblivious to Jimmy saville hence why he was on telly the whole time.

Re Andrew, he's a total sleaze and perv. I still think that heckler was a right idiot to disrupt the procession because it didn't just upset Andrew in isolation. Other people were there, it's disrespectful to the queen, and to other family members, not appropriate.
