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

HMRC and the DWP covers multiple income source possibilities.

I’m not familiar with the extent of what they do as I don’t live in the UK. But what would you expect them to do and by saying you’d report them out of spite are you suggesting that their integrity is in question because they pulled this lad out of a crowd. Are you saying the must be benefit cheats or something?<

It's so obvious what they're doing - amazed (well, not really!) people are falling for it.

He was on the walkabout, then at the procession today - he escorted the queen a few months ago at the memorial - fuck, we even had a 'aww Prince Andrew is going to look after the corgis' story 🙄

Do you think he would've been doing any of these public events if they were still wanting to serve him legal papers? Fuck, didn't see him at all then - too busy hiding behind mummy.

I think the RF are more than aware of how disgusted the public are with him. However this occasion was all about paying respects to the Queen. Not some attention seeker bellowing abuse at a funeral party.

What Andrew did - disgusting. What the heckler did - also disgusting.

Yet he was still there.

Quite apart from anything else, it's a very silly decision to include Andrew in these events, because it can't help but serve as a reminder that the queen is widely believed to have given him money to pay off his accuser.

I won't say Andrew being there is an insult to his mother's memory, because it's actually quite appropriate that her sex pest son is there given the decisions she made. The association fits. It also serves as a reminder that things would only need to have turned out slightly differently for him to be the king now. But it's an insult to the public.

That guy was an idiot shame whoever pulled him feet in the air didn't get hold of him sooner

I saw a heckler get pulled back pretty quick in Edinburgh. It’s not appropriate ata funeral procession.

However that appalling display when he was looking at the flowers - do big waves ( last to one stop every time) and that Namaste bow. Pretty sure I saw Sophie Wessex did a bit of an angry eye roll at that. She wasn’t impressed. He’s an absolute disgrace whichever way you look.

The Namaste bow is what sticks in my mind. He looked pathetic. And yes, I saw the look Sophie gave and I’m pretty sure Zara Tindall smothered a laugh at him.

I can't see him at any Royal events in future, tbh.
I think HE thinks he'll just carry on as normal, but am pretty sure the King & Prince of Wales will just write him off now. He's a liability.

WillPowerLite · 12/09/2022 18:32

The RF paid off his victim. Where is he living now? In a flat he pays for himself with the job he applied for? Did King Charles make it clear that he would have no part in public events? I think you are deluded.

Well his mother paid his victims off ,i think he.is a disgusting, vile man but I really don't think royal family, want to put him on show again ,they have effectively pensioned him off ,whilst Charles ( feels weird to call him King Charles ) might be his brother I don't think he's a stupid ,man ,I think he knows it's not in the Monarchy,s interest to have him as a senior member of the Royal family
They probably hope he will live the rest of his life quietly .

No, I wouldn't know whether they are or not. I'm saying you don't want to get on the receiving end of an investigation from either body, and that I wish it on the people who assaulted the heckler.

Oh the bowing and praying hands was cringy at best.

Maybe they could give him a new job in the tower of London. Permanent resident of the lower floor, in charge of counting the internal bricks, cleaning the grout and tourist attraction.

Hours of work 24/7, food provided 3 meals a day, uniform also provided in the style of medieval pauper.

Only condition will be shackled to wall to give that "authentic" experience to the visitors.

Well said Andrew Marr - just fuck this shit.

Time and place… he is a disgrace

Georgyporky · 12/09/2022 18:46

I wonder if Madge altered her will to allow for the millions she paid to buy off his accuser?

KenzosFlower · 12/09/2022 18:46

Good. It's always the time and place for heckling the parasitic monarchy.

The corgi thing is definitely a way to soften up his image for those happy to make excuses for him .
There plenty of them about

You can recognise them because their posts start

I’m not sure they’d investigate people based on you phoning them up and saying, they deserve it because they pulled that heckler out of the crowd in Edinburgh.

It's exactly what it looks like. And she didn't even flinch.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 12/09/2022 18:48

It will be interesting to see if he’s allowed do another walk. Personally I’m hoping his siblings say ‘it’s not happening’

Had there been mass heckling this may well have happened, but since it was just one man I expect we'll have to put up with seeing him again

I agree that this wasn't the time and place for heckling, though the man wasn't wrong, and in many ways it's a shame Andrew went. Of course he's a family member, but he could quite easily have mourned HM privately, perhaps just attending the funeral

Honestly, I find some of these posts really disturbing. No wonder the conviction rates for VAWG are so ridiculously low in this country.

17 may be over the age of consent but a trafficked person, whatever age, cannot consent. You are not considered an adult in this country until 18. Why would anyone minimise what he has been accused of? He's never been convicted because he was protected by the very establishment you have all doffed your caps to this week.

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

No one is minimising what he did, or saying it was acceptable, but he is not a paedophile.

In this country a 16 year old can legally consent to sex. His accuser was by her own admission 17.

Incorrectly calling a man a paedo whilst he is publicly grieving his Mum is not respectful.

Perhaps she didnt flinch because it was entirely innocent.

Please. This insinuation about him and his daughter is way too much.

Mmm, I'm not quite sure that's how the malicious shopping process actually works, although perhaps it's different where you are.
