I Blame King Charles

Charles is King.
He has the power/ability to remove the titles from Harry & Andrew.

If Charles is a modern King that "listens" to what people think as often mentioned in the media, why has he not removed their titles?

Another point, why was Andrew allowed during the Xmas walk about with other family members?

TBH, I could not stand Camilla but she has grown on me as has Charles. However, King Charles is going downhill fast if he does not act by removing Harry& Andrews's titles.

William/Kate and family, love them loads
Princess Ann and hubby (until recently I did not know what the bloke looked like) have grown on me.

Edward and their family have grown on me.

The majority of others, I have no time for.

AIBU in blaming Charles for not acting right now to remove titles?

If Charles did remove their titles, I'm sure the vast majority of the people in England would be happier.

He's considering it. It was in the news a little while ago, I imagine it'll be next year. Andrew really needs to go.

Fa pit you in charge?

BiggerBoat1 · 30/12/2022 11:44

I think the line that has been drawn is that Andrew participates in family events (such as funeral, Christmas) but you won't see him representing the Royal Family elsewhere. Seems like a fair compromise to me.

I don’t care. I want them to stop accepting public funds and reallocate for free school meals, books and music lessons 😁

gogohmm · 30/12/2022 11:48

His only been king a short time, he'll still be learning the essential elements of the role (constitutional) so internal family politics is not going to be a priority.

Andrew went to church, he hasn't actually got any form of conviction. I'm pretty sure the "what to do about Andrew is on his to do list but not near the top. Harry however is different as for everyone who would support such action, others do not - my impression is that he is being given enough rope at the moment and it's a wait and see situation... he's his dad, cut him some slack

GolfEchoRomeoTangoIndia · 30/12/2022 11:48

YABU because you're bundling Harry, whose "crime" is that he's married a slightly annoying woman and moved to America, in with Andrew, who hung around with a known sex trafficker and paid off a woman who made very plausible and serious criminal allegations against him.

gogohmm · 30/12/2022 11:48

Oh and most people don't care either way!

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 30/12/2022 11:49

Prince Andrew no longer represents the Royal Family. What happens within the family is a private matter.

custardbear · 30/12/2022 11:49

I think he should sort out the titles thing when he's crowned king.
Get rid of Andrew from the palace and his titles. He needs to slip into a meagre existence somewhere else.
Harry and Meghan should also lose their titles, and throne succession and any entitlement of public purse monies for now and the future considering their behaviour

What about the lies and selling out his family for hard cash.

Harry is His son and he loves him. The titles of Duke and Duchess are not given or removed according to peoples behaviour. It is not a public popularity title Andrew is seen at family occasions not state occasions because he is still part of the family

TeapotTitties · 30/12/2022 11:51

Anyone would think we had a royal family topic for all these relentless threads 🙄

DrWhoNowww · 30/12/2022 11:51

If I understand correctly, to remove either of their titles requires an act of parliament.

Quite frankly that shit show has better things to be doing than legislating on what a set of over privileged, near criminal whingebags call themselves.

TipsyAndTommy · 30/12/2022 11:52

Who made you hand of the king?

So basically if you think people are alright/have grown on you then they are good to go about their business but if you aren't keen then Charles should take note!

Harry and Andrew are not the same and it frankly says more about people who think they are. Sex trafficking/sex abuse if not on par with marrying an actress who is mixed race.

SnowAndFrostOutside · 30/12/2022 11:52

I don't see anything Harry done is so wrong he needs to be removed. He's followed his heart and married a woman a lot of Britain don't approve. Is that really an offense?

Lies, cheating, narcissism and generally trying to take down the RF

hay5689 · 30/12/2022 11:54

YABU because it's not up to the people of England. Are you American because they seem to think the UK is England?

Show quote history

Self centered, lies, narcissim and even no contact with family is not the same as grooming and being a known associate of a sex offender who was known to groom vulnerable young women.

SnowAndFrostOutside · 30/12/2022 11:55

If Harry hangs around with Andrew Tate, then I can understand the hate. But all he is is a bit spoiled.

In what way exactly would it make your happier? Think the vast majority of people (in the UK) have their own problems to worry about and really don't give a shiny shite if Harry keeps or loses his title. You just think they do because the people that weirdly care so much are VERY LOUD AND ONLINE and really are not representative (of the UK).

Andrew is a different matter however.
