Shocking.

It isn’t a joke, if he hasn’t had victims in that property I would be very very surprised.

Me too but is it right to be laughing about it

I'd say they're tame compared to the reality.

I don’t know I just find joking about the bedrooms housing those (many) young abused girls is 😐

LeavesOnTrees · 21/10/2025 19:23

But he scrimped and saved for years for the deposit, took on extra shifts and made his own coffee... didn't he ?

NormasArse · 21/10/2025 19:25

To hide from himself.

Can’t blame him really 🤮.

Claricecannotsleep · 21/10/2025 19:26

He did pay £8 million for the lease… it wasn’t free.
just saying.

He must be quite envious of his younger brother Eddie over there in Bagshot. How many rooms has he got in his house,120 or something? And the rest of them with houses here there and everywhere with cottages, staff lodges, stables, garages, acres of grounds, swimming pools, polo grounds the lot.

But I suppose they are entitled to it all since they worked so hard to achieve that wealth. 😉

Peasants they are not!

They could house a few boat people between them.

I've been so confused as to why Sarah Ferguson stands by him. Yes they divorced but she still lives with him and attends events with him. Maybe it's to do with the free mansion!

She still LIVES with him?! I missed that.
bloody hell.

He's a prick but why goes King Charles need several castles and palaces ,why doesPrince William need several homes ?
Why are we funding this ridiculous family?

I think she's been bankrupt a million times, so it's her financial security I guess.

I'm guessing it wasn't from money he earned. He's only ever been an RAF pilot for a short time and I doubt they earn millions.

Why do any of them need houses with 30 rooms and multiple houses at that. Workshy scroungers the lot of them.

IsawwhatIsaw · 21/10/2025 21:54

Never mind just him, Why do ANY members of this family need multiple huge properties?
All the mansions, stately homes, vast estates.
what have any of them done to deserve these types of lifestyles?

WaryCrow · 21/10/2025 22:14

Why do any of those aristos need all their stuff and entitlements? While the rest of us squabble over crumbs? How many superyachts do they need? How many times can you swap clothes and gaze at jewels? I could understand it if they were all building new Hubbles or Curiosities. A few have more resources and power than nations, and for what??

puffballsleeves · 22/10/2025 07:54

Why do any of them? Kate and WIlliam have a massive house and there is only 5 of them. They have them because they can, none of the deserve them.

puffballsleeves · 22/10/2025 07:56

Also I thought William was meant to out there ending homelessness? Maybe he could donate Andrew's house as a homeless shelter.

...which he obviously worked overtime and saved like mad for.

nopiesleftinthisvehicle · 22/10/2025 08:12

So he has plenty of floor space to discard his screwed up tissues from his alone playtime, for his Servants to collect 🤢

Directly from the Andrew Lownie book.

AnnaMagnani · 22/10/2025 08:23

For the same reason Edward needs a house with 120 rooms, Anne needs a country estate and William needs a London home, a Norfolk home and a forever home as the others weren't enough.

TheNightingalesStarling · 22/10/2025 08:27

Darling you cannot expect them to eat breakfast in the same room as lunch, or to play Billiards in the same room as Fives.

IsawwhatIsaw · 22/10/2025 08:43

It’s 2025. Given the lifestyles they have, I’ve never got why we are the ones clapping and applauding them?
or why so called engagements seem to be the type of outings that others would call very privileged days out- best seats at world class sporting events?
shouldn’t they be clapping for us?

For when Jeremy comes to stay and brings the girls. He hasn’t accepted Jeremy’s never coming again.

Jeremy who?

EmeraldShamrock000 · 22/10/2025 08:47

If only those walls or teddy bears could talk.
He is vile.
A public bathroom would be to good for him.
