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

[JacknDiane]

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

classic abuser behaviour

Yup. At least his brother is dishing out some minor consequences unlike the chief pedo protector before him

I wish everyone including the press would just ignore him I frankly don't want to know anything about what he is up to and where he will have to suffer living. He is a tawdry bumptious twat living without true consequence

I think you're hugely overestimating.

He doesn't own property - it's all leased or grace and favour. The nice cars he drives aren't his. The expensive artwork decorating his walls will be from the Royal Collection.

He and SF were frequently in debt. They had to borrow to pay rent and staff.

I suspect the funds paid to VG were taken out of his inheritance, given the circumstances. It was widely reported he didn't inherit anything, apart from the corgis. If he did receive any financial inheritance, I would be very surprised if he hasn't already spent it.

We don't know for sure that he received nothing, but it is widely believed that everything went to KC to avoid IHT. Anne, Edward, and Andrew would inherit very little in this scenario.

He probably does have some personal items of value like expensive watches.

I really don't think he's sitting on as much money as people think. The only income we know he gets is his army pension of £20k per year.

Edit: drives, not owns!

Royal Lodge is, in my opinion, a seriously ugly looking building from the outside, no doubt the inside is better. Manor Farm is a lovely house and will have had a lot of work done, judging by the number of vans etc there. He's allegedly at Wood Farm, Philip's former pad, even nicer than Manor Farm.

We are all furious Fergie is moving to Australia! (supposedly)

Oh my god yes thugs "protecting women and girls" not from them though !

Hopefully now he’s buggered off, we won’t have to see the pompous cunt in the news anymore.

Be even better if we never had to see another picture of any of the “Royals” again. The lot of them are of no use.

Thatcher wasn't even 'just' on very friendly terms with JS; she and Denis actually invited him to spend Christmas Day at their home for 11 years!

This really. If posters really don’t think PA has been punished then you must be mad. He’s lost his name, his family, his title, his reputation; he’s literally the most hated man in the UK. He can’t go anywhere.

I want to see Trump, Gates and all the faceless perverted billionaires go down.

While I agree with your overall message I want Andrew to be properly investigated and subject to the law not just secreted away .

I’m not sure what people want to happen to him today.

Even if you abolish the monarchy (which would be my preference, so I’m not defending it), they all have private money and residences.
All the people bemoaning where he’s living now would never want him living in their street. So they slightly hypocritically want him kicked out of royal residences, but living near other people, for other people to deal with.

It goes without saying that I think he should be investigated and treated like any other person. But right now, I don’t see who would actually benefit from him having to live in a “normal” house, and bringing all that would come from him living there onto the neighbours who are just trying to live their lives.
(Depressingly, when I say he should be treated like anyone else, since this involves accusations of sexual abuse of women and girls, treating him like anyone else probably means doing absolutely nothing anyway)

He has certainly faced more consequences than many.

Whether he has actually broken the law in the UK I don't think we'll ever find out as it's highly unlikely prosecution will be brought - at least in this country and I doubt even Andrew is dumb enough to go to the US.

@THisbackwithavengeance

Is your post a cut and paste from the latest royalist PR ? Andrew has been protected and he’s still protected.

Once he’s properly investigated ( and preferably by a force with fewer links to the Windsors if one can be found) then I might agree

PC wrote a despicable letter supporting Peter Bell AFTER Bell had received his police caution for CSA. His supporting letter to Bell said ' I feel desperately strongly about the monstrous wrongs that have been done to you and the way you have been treated'

In his subsequent submission to the enquiry on Bell he claimed he knew nothing about Bell until 2009. Liar.

Another man he adored and supported was Mounbatten. Read Andrew Smyths story on Mountbatten and Kincora.
There's a pattern there which should be investigated.

Once again RIP Neil Todd😢. Your courage at being strong and brave will not be forgotten. You and others exposed the truth just as Virginia helped to do. You deserved better than to have your truth referred to by a 44 year old man with power, as 'monstrous wrongs'.

I agree, he should be.

His brother is trying to protect himself.

Beautifully said 👏

It's time to get rid of the whole lots of them. I think we all understand that they aren't the family chosen by a whatever god you believe in to rule over all.

I don't think we need to go totally French and cut their heads off just put them a council house and standard benefits and put all of the assets for the benefit of the county.

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

I agree with this.
I think they're handling him very carefully for fear that he might 'spill' and cause problems for other people.

But the point is that obviously h and w were living in huge houses with infinite bedrooms so the assignment of bedrooms was arbitrary, unnecessary, and reinforced a permanent hierarchy in which h felt assigned a role as unimportant/disfavored.

I served with him twice in the Royal Navy. Very entitled. Expected everything to revolve round him. Not a nice man and very unpopular. But he was indulged by both the late Queen and by Prince Philip and never seems to have had any sort of boundaries. Unfortunately, Andrew does not have the intelligence or the self-awareness to know how to behave.

As previous posters have said, it would not be feasible from the security point of view to have him living on a normal street and he doesn't have the income to live independently from the Crown. I feel sorry for the King. He's damned if he does and damned if he don't.

Exactly!

The link between the Royal family and government needs to be totally separated. Knighthoods etc need to be stopped immediately. So many politicians are effectively bribed by them.

God knows why anyone would want an ‘award’ from the Windsors .

To me it looks like a stain on your character .
Even before all this abuse became more widely known look up the list of those who refused such honours .
Who would accept one now ?

If he is so dangerous to others, possibly by spilling the beans on his own sibling amongst others, what are the chances of a mystery illness or something worse happening to him? Hmmm it happened to his brothel master in chief didn't it?

Anyway, I presume there is a massive Trust Fund for the RF probably going back to the first time our country's assets were sequestered for the RF's use, and together with a significant legacy from HMLQ, I doubt he will ever see a poor day. He might go through it like a dose of salts, but it will be replenished.

Of course we have no idea what is in the Trust or in the wills because, you know, the RF do NOT have to abide by the rules that the rest of us must. Red Flag, big time for hiding wealth and its sources.
