They are keeping Andrew out the way, arent they?

On the bbc news, 3 out 4 of the queen's children wished to say something in tribute to their father...

Andrew is obviously been kept on the back burner. They must know there's only so much the less fawning of us can take.

Sick.

Good job too. Regardless of whether he did or didn't do what he's accused of, he should go and do the right thing and help with enquiries. It's embarrassing.

blobblob · 10/04/2021 21:14

Tedious.

ICantBeDoingWithThis · 10/04/2021 21:14

I was wondering if they are still hiding him in a cupboard. I hope so, he’s not fit to be seen.

Umbivalent · 10/04/2021 21:14

Perhaps he's keeping himself out of the way?

They showed his pre-recorded thing yesterday, didn't they.

Fuckingcrustybread · 10/04/2021 21:15

Prince Andrew's tribute was broadcast yesterday.

SionnachRua · 10/04/2021 21:15

Smart decision by them there. Who would want to see that oik paraded on TV? I'm sure he's still in the lap of luxury.

He’s probably had most contact with his parents since he lives on the estate and is allegedly his mother’s favourite child. However it would make sense for him to be kept out of the public eye. To create any controversy would be extremely bad form as it would be in any grieving family.

I dislike Andrew but respect any decision to keep him away from the public eye right now.

RoseRedRoseBlue · 10/04/2021 21:19

I wonder how they would manage things in the event of him passing suddenly - not sure how that would pan out and how much the public would tolerate.

Prince Andrew has been banished from public life. People keep going on about him in contrast to Meghan ("oh why do the media go on about Meghan when Prince Andrew is so dodgy etc etc") - I mean, there can be no greater evidence than this. He has been utterly banished from public life. The Rf can't do more than they've done considering he hasn't even been charged with anything let alone convicted. And equally, because he's been banished from public life there's very little to report on!

But yes, it's pretty significant in terms of showing how far he's fallen from grace.

Foo2 · 10/04/2021 21:21

Definitely

They are keeping Andrew out the way, arent they?
JanFebAnyMonth · 10/04/2021 21:24

Surely that’s a (pretty enormous!) mistake from the Daily Express?!

BrilliantBetty · 10/04/2021 21:25

Thank goodness they've kept him out of the way. No one wants him around.

OldScrappyAndHungry · 10/04/2021 21:27

OMG! Can’t believe they’ve literally removed him! Grin

RoseRedRoseBlue · 10/04/2021 21:27

The Express aren’t messing about are they?

Why's it a mistake?

Susannahmoody · 10/04/2021 21:29

Gotcha, they left out Andy's birth

sittingonacornflake · 10/04/2021 21:31

Oh my goodness as if they actually left out his birth. Surely leave all births out or it just looks ridiculous.

Haudyourwheesht · 10/04/2021 21:34

He's an embarrassment. It'll be interesting to see to what extent he features at the funeral, given that it'll be somewhat public.

ssd · 10/04/2021 21:44

He'll still be living in complete and utter luxury though

Like a bird in a gilded cage unlike Ghislaine who is in a jail cell. Until if ever his name is cleared I doubt we will know of Andrews existence. Prob loves it. Ok, money may be tight but he and Fergie can go skiing or see their daughter in Italy or nip out to Woking. Prob be in/out of the back door at the Funeral
