Last thread closed so I thought I'd amalagamate the latest antics for further discussion.

Also wanted to reply to this post near the end:

Perhaps the opportunity to contribute via cleaning jobs will soon arise for them, perhaps even faster than Andrew imagines, if he is up to knowing how to turn on a vacuum that is

He allegedly sent for a maid to climb four sets of stairs to close his curtains. I think he'd struggle with a vacuum Grin

Off to read up on the entirely unsurprising reports on links to the fraudster.

Fortunately a few people on Twitter screen grabbed the posts. That one was accompanied by a photo of a young Andrew all togged up in his flying gear.

That is ummmm what can I say... ridiculous.

He's trying hard to wheedle his way back in, I'll give him that

Well whoever wrote that load of bollocks for him doesn’t understand the plural of family. Bravado my arse.

Roussette · 02/04/2022 18:09

I thought his mother told him he couldn't use HRH anymore?

Not officially. I guess Twatter doesn’t count.

Andrew's Private Secretary, Amanda Thirsk told the D Mail, she could not remember the call from Stephen Buckland. She added: ‘As a person of integrity, I would not be involved in anything improper.’

Gosh it's like hearing Boris talk. The damage these characters do to British public life is immense.

A question Buckingham Palace cannot duck – given their own 2003 rules state that the £750k should’ve been classified as an official gift why wasn’t it declared in 2019?

An investigation into all of Andrew’s funding maybe the inevitable outcome.

This thread makes an interesting read.
Sounds like all the york family are in on it.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/04/2022 18:32

Ferguson’s spokesperson said: “The duchess was completely unaware of the allegations that have since emerged against Mr Turk ...

That makes no sense; after all she could hardly know about allegations which hadn't been made at the time, though both of them could certainly have done a bit of digging if they didn't already know what Turk was like (which frankly I doubt, given other company Andrew likes to keep)

Ironic, really, that someone insisted they're "not allowed to accept gifts which create an obligation", if getting a passport was the price ...

Most of my hamsters were very intelligent and also far better at evading capture.

Just watching a prog about the RF on TV at the moment. The QM got a million pounds a year in the early seventies. At a time of economic hardship, she asked for another £3000,000!

This is mind blowing. You can see where Andrew gets it from.

Re the now deleted Instagram posts, I wonder if Beatrice or Eugenie spotted those and rang them to say "Mum, Dad, that might not be the best idea..."?

JayAlfredPrufrock · 02/04/2022 19:31

What sort of sense of entitlement must someone have to think that someone giving you £25k for a surprise party for your mum is perfectly normal.

Or accepting £225k to act as a brand ambassador is the norm?

Quincunx · 02/04/2022 19:35

It's been bred into them over centuries. Wonder if they'll be donating their tiny brains for scientific research.

OverByYer · 02/04/2022 19:54

They are unbelievable.
Plus he/ she can’t spell families properly. Thick as mince.

I'm joining up!

Thoosa · 02/04/2022 20:12

Maybe I’m wrong, but I have a feeling Eugenie and Beatrice have been used somewhat by their parents and I feel sorry for them that they’ve apparently both been dragged into this.

Growing up in the RF must be a bit like being raised in a cult anyway, but being a younger York, triply so. I wonder how much they’ve felt able to say “no” to their parents, how much obligation and responsibility they feel towards them.

Eugenie seemed to be pulling away a bit recently and publicly signalling something with her work concerning trafficked victims.

I hope marriage has empowered both women and given them some support and independence.

AnastasiaRomanov · 02/04/2022 20:15

I'm not so sure the girls are ignorant of what is going on. I used to think so, now I'm not so sure.

Thoosa · 02/04/2022 20:25

No @AnastasiaRomanov , I don’t think they can be entirely ignorant, but I do think they’re probably being spun to (gaslit?) and coerced.

I don’t get the impression that they’re wholehearted grifters like their parents. It does seem they’ve been drawn into their parents’ “business”.

I don’t envy their position or the conflict they probably feel about it all. First world problems, I know, but having to slowly realise unsavoury facts about your parents and maybe begin to distance or untangle yourself a bit I’d a horrible thing for anyone to have to go though.

Yes I apologise to hamsters. I was struggling to think of something with so little sense.

Both Duke and Duchess really are awful

AnastasiaRomanov · 02/04/2022 21:52

I see another woman has come forward to talk about her experiences with Epstein. It makes the blood run cold. What a truly evil man.

Blackbird2020 · 02/04/2022 22:07

If this whole saga is as crooked as it seems, I wonder if there’s any chance PA could eventually find himself doing jail time?!?

AnastasiaRomanov · 02/04/2022 22:09

I wondered that. It certainly sounds like he’s been up to his neck in very dodgy and probably illegal stuff.

Except for the creepy collection of teddy bears.
