Everyone should continue to call him Prince Andrew

I’ve seen a few people, and TV programmes and things, saying he’s just Andrew now.

He’s not, though, is he? He’s still a prince, that can’t be taken from him, like his other titles. He should continue to be called Prince Andrew.

“But he doesn’t deserve to be a prince”, people say. Well, no-one does, that’s the whole deal with a monarchy. You don’t get to pick and choose, there’s no merit, it’s entirely about whose cock and balls were involved.

Royals have done appalling things for centuries, it’s their divine right. If you don’t like it, stop supporting it.

I think people should call him whatever they want to.

LemonCake79 · 23/01/2022 22:06

That isn't one of the names anyone I know uses for him anymore.

LegArmpits · 23/01/2022 22:07

Is that you Andrew?

SerialNo · 23/01/2022 22:08

How about The Andrew formerly known as Prince?

OneSolitaryCornflake · 23/01/2022 22:08

I'll call him whatever I want thanks

Divine right to do what they want? No, they are humans who have a duty to abide by the law as the rest of us 'commoners' do. I have plenty of names for him, Prince is not one.

I'm going to call him this now I think it will catch on

Nonces don’t deserve respect or titles.

I don't support it thanks very much!

Divine right as a concept ceased to exist hundreds of years ago. I'm no fan of the Royal Family and would prefer we didn't support them at all. But to be fair to them you can't yoke all of them into the same bucket as that entitled paedophile.

The Andrew formerly known as Prince wins the thread Grin

TheLeadbetterLife · 23/01/2022 22:12

Are people actually reading my OP?

It’s irrelevant whether anyone thinks he deserves it, he gets it anyway. Yes, that’s absolutely crazy. But the solution is not to pretend we get a choice in the matter.

I mean it's technically correct, but i call his brother and nephew Charles and William so I'm not adding Prince for him especially.

DistrictCommissioner · 23/01/2022 22:13

I agree - that’s the whole point of monarchy, it’s birth not merit. He’s a shit but that can’t stop him being a prince. It’s not an elected position.

🤣 brilliant
stinkycheeseman · 23/01/2022 22:13

Can I just call him 'that cunt, Prince Andrew?'

I don't want to support the royal family. Unfortunately I don't appear to have much of a choice!

Sparklesocks · 23/01/2022 22:14

I can call him whatever I like I’m afraid. Tough shit.

Hb12 · 23/01/2022 22:14

I get you. Essentially he will never get his privilege taken away, whatever token gesture we make to try to have some choice in the matter.

Doesn’t matter though does it? They could all be rapist maniacs, or spend their days tirelessly tending to sick kittens, we’d be stuck with them either way.

Genius!
DarkDarkNight · 23/01/2022 22:18

I’ll just call him Nonce Andrew which has some of the same letters.

If this whole debacle is the thing to topple the monarch then so be it.
