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

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.

I have it on good authority when he was captain of a minesweeper he was no better than he should have been, and pissed off the stewards and chefs. Never a good thing. Full bodied rations with extra chocolate sprinkles.

@BillieWiper
Where would you kick him out to? He should be kept in the UK. Why should any other country have to deal with him? He is a problem of the UK's making.

I know what you mean. But it's not like it's the general public's fault he exists. We didn't vote for him? So he's not really 'of the UK's making'. Why should the taxpayer fund him? He's of the Queen's making but she's not around to take the blame!

I’d quite enjoy seeing him rowed through traitors gate and made to live at the Tower of London. Peter Mandelson could be in the same boat. In fact they could be forced to share rooms in one of the turrets. Imagine the tourists that would turn up to see that.

That's the best suggestion on here! 😂

I don't disagree, but I find it so interesting that those in the Epstein files who are from outside the US are universally condemned, stripped of jobs, titles, face police investigations etc, while those in the US face seemingly no negative effects at all. I don't see Musk or Trump losing anything!

Personally I think because he is so high profile he’s been the sacrificial lamb for all the others
apart from Trump / Bill Gates who we all know and were mentioned recently

the rest of the people named or being named most of wouldn’t know who they are and it wouldn’t be so interesting for the media

I hope the black cloud of misery stays around the entitled sweaty rat like a cloak of shame.
He should become a recluse. I highly doubt he’ll be prosecuted.

Yes this he should never find peace ! Although i saw a picture of him laughing and waving out of his car yesterday, i don't think he has the capacity for remorse.

I feel sorry for his daughters. How embarrassing for them; and they have no obligations to their so called ‘mother’. Definitely a reason to go non contact.

I dont think the apples have fallen far from the tree with those two, so my sympathy is limited. Though yes, must be embarassing to know your mother was discussing your sex life with a sex trafficker and paedophile.

ScarlettOYara · 04/02/2026 10:53

That's what I was referring to. I don't know how wise that would be. However, his wife and one of his daughters are also clearly very friendly with the Sheikh, so who knows.

What's the worse he could do?

Write a book? Personally, just my opinion, I don't see it. He could just cruise round the middle east with people who seem to like him for some odd reason.

Having said that his ex wife wrote a book saying how awful it was living within the royal family, I believe she coined the phrase 'the men in grey suits'. But it was just a poor me pity book.

That would be difficult as the Thames doesn't go up to Traitors Gate any more.

The worse he could do is to be used as leverage by hostile factions overseas.

He's also going to know quite a bit about a lot of people - not necessarily anything incriminating by the way, but information that could be used to get to quite a lot of high up individuals. It doesn't need to be criminal or sleazy information to put someone at risk.

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 04/02/2026 11:16

And even if he were to move to a 2 up and 2 down:

He most likely wouldn’t even appreciate that 4 rooms for one single person would be considered luxurious by the average person.

ChequerToRed · 04/02/2026 11:27

By sticking him on the Sandringham Estate he’s being put on a short leash (though a tiny damp lodge at the arse end of Balmoral near the compost heaps would have been a better choice), otherwise he’ll be a loose cannon grifting his way around the world cadging cash and favours off anyone who’d give them to him, which is what he’d done for years and what got him into this mess. It’s the only thing he knows how to do. Like Mandelson, he has tastes well beyond his means, and people like Epstein took advantage of that to open doors (it should be noted here, because it gets a lot less coverage, that Epstein was a known swindler as well as a sex offender). Andrew is an idiot who would roll out the red carpet for anyone who showed him favour no matter how dodgy they were, after all it wasn’t that long ago that the Epstein business was briefly overshadowed by his chummy fraternising with Yang Tenbo, a suspected Chinese government agent. That’s why the royal family need him to be contained where he can be kept a close eye on.
Ideally he’ll be shipped off to the US to testify at some point, but that’s not going to happen under the current president, and as Epstein also fraternised with prominent Dems such as the Clintons, it’s unlikely to happen in any meaningful way if the other side get back into the Whitehouse either. The most we can hope for is individual court cases in dribs and drabs.

AntiqueBabyLoanSmurf · 04/02/2026 11:32

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

I presume that was a typo and the 'O' should have been a 'P'?!

Yes, tbh I think this might be the least worst way to manage him at the moment.

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.

Elizabeth condoned his behaviour - not only did she pay the money - she let him publicly escort her so everyone would know he was still in her favour.

Andrew should not ‘fade into obscurity’ - he should be legally tried for his part in the the sordid empire that Epstein created which caused such terrible impact to all the females involved

i find it astonishing when people talk about what William will do when he is king. Do they really believe it’s going to be different or are they completely sticking their head in the sand at what power the ‘royals’ already weave to make life cushy for themselves? It’s one big gravy train and they don’t want anything to upset it

critical thinking please and keep questioning the whole rotten institution. Read the Norman Baker books - they are available on the Republic website

Andrew is hardly moving into a 2 up 2 down is he?

You need to see the new release, Musk begging Epstein for an invite to the gross parties.

And he sent those emails post Epstein's release from the pathetic sentence he got for sex offences. Yet Musk did that video link at Steven Yaxley Lennon's Unite the Kingdom rally who have "protect our women and girls" as one of their rallying cries. I despair.

Lifeomars · 04/02/2026 11:43

He should be dropped by helicopter onto a remote uninhabited island in the Outer Hebrides and have to live in a croft. Supplies air dropped in once a month and a Nokia brick phone for basic communication. Fergie could be sent there too I am sure they only had that " happiest divorced couple" nonsense because they were bound together by each other's nasty secrets, so let them live out the rest of their days together

As one of the people who's talked about William, I don't reckon he's going to do what his mother did and give Andrew millions to pay off victims. So it will be different in that way. Which is not a pro monarchy stance, as I don't approve of the institution either. But it's bleeding obvious the other family members aren't going to continue indulging him to the extent that his mother did.

ShawnaMacallister · 04/02/2026 08:50

Googling suggests he has a fortune of around £3m and an income of £20k. Of course by normal standards having that kind of fortune makes you rich but it certainly doesn't provide enough security to house and support himself securely for the rest of his life, especially given the hat a target he will be.

That must be a massive underestimate? He surely has many tens of millions of pounds of assets? I thought the late Queen had bequeathed him a fortune. Where did it all go?

Whammyammy · 04/02/2026 12:01

Big house, with staff. More than likely funded by us plebs.
Had it with the royals tbh, it's outdated and abused

PC an honourable man? He took the action he did against Andrew as he knew what was coming and hopes no one will dig too deep into his own past. In 1995,, the 'honourable man' wrote a letter supporting Peter Bell who had received a police caution for child sexual offences in 1993. PC was then 44 years old. PC bought a house which Bell then rented. Bell subsequently served time in prison for CSA against young boys.
Spare a thought for Neil Todd who committed suicide as a result of being abused by Bell.
PC was very close to Uncle Dickie, Mountbatten. His sordid history of abuse is slowly but surely being exposed.
Honourable, my backside.

And PC was very friendly with Jimmy Saville.
