Fed up hearing the breaking news....Andrew has left royal lodge.
So what, hes moving from one mansion to another. With lakeys waiting to clean the place and people to shop and cook for him. Etc etc.

As if hes going to ever live like us plebs.

And his victims will never get justice

Thank God the Queen is dead - this would have finished her. Andrew is a twat - hopefully he fades into obscurity along with that ghastly ex wife of his. This has been a long time coming, once William comes into power - its really going to get worse for the pervert Andy.

Oh stop it. She ignored what she knew to be true. Because her advisors told her. She used her taxpayer funded wealth to try and buy off the first accuser.

She colluded with her son - as she’d colluded before, with other things, to shut things up.

She’s no better - it’s all about protecting the lot of them.

It seems to me there are different levels of punishment. If you are poor it is gaol but the rich it is just being sent to a huge farmhouse that most of us dream about and apparently that is punishment enough???

simpsonthecat · 04/02/2026 16:43

Here are some of the MPs who have spoken out. Not enough.

  • Sir Ed Davey (Leader of the Liberal Democrats): Stated it was "right" that Andrew appear before Congress and argued he should also give evidence to the UK Parliament, noting "the public deserve answers".
  • Stephen Flynn (SNP Westminster Leader): Lodged a parliamentary motion in October 2025 to force the removal of Andrew's titles, calling for immediate action.
  • Rachael Maskell (Independent MP, formerly Labour): Has long campaigned for the removal of Andrew's titles, stating constituents did not want him to hold a title bearing the name of her city (York).
  • Clive Lewis (Labour MP): Called for a "proper thorough investigation" into the matter.
  • Chris Bryant (UK Trade Minister): Suggested in November 2025 that Andrew should answer questions in the US, "just as with any ordinary member of the public".
  • Robert Jenrick (Conservative MP): Criticized Andrew for embarrassing the Royal Family and suggested he should no longer live in Royal Lodge.
  • George Foulkes (Labour Peer): Requested that parliamentary rules be reviewed to allow questions about the royal family regarding the matter.

Chris Bryant spoke out about 15 years ago but it never went anywhere. And let's not forget Norman Baker, Privy Council, who has written a book on the Royals and their entitlement and who has been dogged in wanting questions in the House.

But nothing happens.
The Monarchy have us over a barrel

The Queens only duty during her reign was to the monarchy.

DotAndCarryOne2 · 04/02/2026 13:19

Of course he hasn’t been punished - if he had, he’d be in jail.

Sure ok but doesn't that require evidence? Not a civil suit where you can just give them cash to go away but evidence a trial a conviction? The incident happened in this country wasn't even illegal at that time so how can he be tried for a crime that didnt exist? There are other bigger players that are still out and operating and hurting people Andrew is effectively hobbled focus on who isn't

It's like a magic trick everyone look over here while I do something over there

user1471538283 · 04/02/2026 17:00

This continues to make me so cross. All this focus on the men and nothing happening to them whilst the victims suffer and one committed suicide.

I'm sure the plan is to remove him so he doesn't flog his wares to the press but he's hardly going to be broke and broken.

He deserves jail for his involvement or at the least a tiny flat and a minimum wage job so he can find out how hard real life is.

He was always revolting. My DM used to fawn about the "playboy prince" which always gave me the creeps. My DF however, saw him for what he was. A predator.

Arsehole as Andrew is, that's pretty clearly not true. Men of all social backgrounds get away with abusing women all the time. We don't do an adequate job of jailing rapists on NMW or benefits either. His privilege simply meant he had easier access and the stories were newsworthy, that's all.

Appoint a figurehead head of state once a year by random ballet.

Fab typo - I'd love this! Perform Odette with a beauty that brings tears to the eyes, and you earn the big job for 12 months!

Ted27 · 04/02/2026 17:12

Everyone advocating that AMW should get a flat or a terrace and a job at a checkout - would you want him as a neighbour? Do you think the paps would leave him alone?

Surely its better that he is out of the way on a farm than cluttering up your local Tesco express

CommonlyKnownAs · 04/02/2026 17:34

Yes, I'd be fucking furious if my employer took him on and made him my problem. We've probably all worked with a rapist at some point, such is the prevalence, but most of them wouldn't come with half the world's press tagging along too.

What a great TV event that would be, the Masked Singer would be toast compared with the Head of State Ballet Ballot

I live in a two up two down terrace, we don't want him here, especially as there are several schools in the area.

@Boomer55 perhaps worst of all her and Philip with all her power holding the line between her entitled arrogant and unpleasant son( apparently disliked by many staff as well ) and poor defenceless girls her Wealth and power helped him trample on

@LunaDeBallona
It was bought with funds from the public purse . Victoria and Albert pleaded poverty claiming their take from the Victorian public was not enough . They had plenty from the Duchy of course . They just wanted more .
They got more .
And bought Sandringham . And then said private funds .
Nothing they have is private. It’s all stolen

Can you provide your source for that please?
Every book I have says different to your claim.
If you are right fair enough but l would like a verified source -
“Sandringham Days” by John Matson says “The Prince (meaning the Prince of Wales) had accumulated some £600,000from the Duchy of Cornwall. This covered the purchase price (of £200,000) and a further £60,000 was released from the Duchy to be spent on improvements to the (run down) property”.

It doesn’t say anything about funds from QV or Prince Albert who was dead when the purchase was made.

I wonder who on earth would want to work for him? Imagine being a butler for a toad like Andrew.

I hope someone spits in Andrew’s Earl Grey Tea.

Imagine they were doing that before.

‘Randy Andy’ 🤢 the tabloids called him in the late 70s/early 80s, around the time he dated US actress (and photographer) Koo Stark.

The tabloids had a field day, and she wasn’t considered suitable by the Royals, (reports Queen pressured them to split) because Koo had appeared naked in a 1976 X-rated erotic film called Emily (or The Awakening of Emily).

It’s about a 17 year old girl who’s pursued by various middle aged men and women at a stately home (Wilton House) 😐

Look into Victorian parliamentary disputes.
The Victorian taxpayer was outraged at Victorias greed
She had the money from the tax payer and she said it wasn’t enough and asked for more . She was given more . She also had the Duchy money but saved that for herself ( sounds familiar today) .

The anger was caused by her asking for more and more money from the tax payer while also not doing very much ( omg another similar tale today re William and Kate )

The purchase of Sandringham was described as a ‘paperwork’ con ( they have been at this a long time ) as she had been keeping the money from the tax payer and the extra she frequently asked from them said then bought the house from ‘private’ money
MPs had asked her to return the money she didn’t use ( for duties she didn’t do) but that didn’t happen

Ukisgaslit · 04/02/2026 19:26

The scandal of Victoria amassing her fortune from the taxpayer resulted in her finally agreeing to pay some tax to offset the public anger .

I think he is lucky he hasn’t been offered a room in a HMO!

He is a very rich man who could easily afford to buy himself a modest and secure property, and pay for cleaners and people to cut his toenails or whatever other little self care things he can’t manage. He really is an entitled pathetic parasite of an excuse for a human being.

With 22 years in the navy, plus boarding school, he would be very accustomed to an HMO.

Zippedydodah · 04/02/2026 19:43

Meadowfinch · 04/02/2026 08:30

The point is he is moving out of a state owned property. He is now living on the charity of his brother, on the Sandringham estate which is prvately owned, costs us nothing and can hopefully be used as leverage to persuade him to stay out of the public eye.

And where he can carry on his prevuis/usual behaviour unseen, no photographers or press and no one will be any the wiser.
Who will know who he smuggles in there and with Sandringham to replace Buckingham Palace, Balmoral etc things will continue as before sans scrutiny. Perfect.
No wonder he skipped over there on Monday.

One committed suicide that we know of. I daresay there may be more, of whom we will never know about because they did not come forward.

He is spoilt,entitled and has always had everything handed to him on a silver plate. When you think how hard some people work ,for often less than a 2 up 2 down its a mockery! PC is an honourable man ,who works hard and has done a good job.he must be mortified. With him and Camilla they are a good team .As in Princess Margaret though the "spare"can lose their way a bit.

There’s losing your way and then there’s sex trafficking, underage victims, being part of a grooming gang… I don’t think Margaret and Andrew are comparable.
