Ugh Andrew

[TarasChoc]

Why is he been allowed to be putting on such a show to the general public right now? All the waving and bowing, is he really so clueless that he believes that people want any acknowledgement from him.
I understand he's lost his mother and is entitled to grieve and share these moments with his family. But he's been removed as a working royal and is in disgrace. Could he for once not just behave with dignity and take a back seat in public and be grateful his mother was lenient enough while alive to allow him still to be part of the Royal family.

Youre right, he has lost his mother.

'Putting on a show'?!

FFS. Whatever he's done/whatever we think of him, have a bit of compassion for someone who's just lost their mother.

Ffs Hes lost his mother & was comforting his upset daughters. It seems the people at Balmoral understand that better than you do.

The only person making this about him is you. As far as I can tell the media attention has actually been on his daughters.

He’s a reprehensible slimeball, but he was there with his siblings and supporting his daughters. I doubt he’ll wheedle his way back in to the public eye after this period of mourning, so let him do the waving and thanking the public on this occasion.

@Cosycover can you point me in the direction of his conviction?

He's incorrigible - he believes his own nonsense that he's been unfairly treated and he's seeking a way back to everything he had before. I doubt Charles will tolerate it.

Please don't be so deliberately naive.

‘he's lost his mother and is entitled to grieve and share these moments with his family’
innocent until proven guilty may I add

Is he actually a paedophile? Genuine question.

Daughters., eh?

Lots of people have them in a wide range of ages…

But yeah, he kind of has to be there because she was his mum. Hopefully he’ll slither back off under his stone again soon.

There isn't a single person in this country doesn't think the man is a total and utter thundercunt, so what difference does it make anyway?

I wondered that.

People seem to use 'paedophile' to mean someone who had sex with a girl much younger than them. There is as far as I know (though I am no expert) no evidence at all that PA has ever had a sexual encounter with a pre-pubescent girl and the woman who was the subject of the infamous settlement was of age in the UK and sexually mature, though much younger than PA. That doesn't stop him being a predatory man with criminal friends who maybe chose not to know that the girl was trafficked. It doesn't make him a paedophile however.
But as far as the original point goes, his mother has just died. What's he supposed to do, not go to the service with his family or go and ignore the crowd who are waving etc?

He's just excited that Pizza Express Woking will have a bank holiday special offer on.

He's incorrigible - he believes his own nonsense that he's been unfairly treated and he's seeking a way back to everything he had before. I doubt Charles will tolerate it.

This is also my opinion. I had a reaction to this morning's news about his appearance too. When he went to talk to the public gathered, I wondered how each individual reacted. Whilst I appreciate he's grieving for his mother, I think he is an odious, spoilt man I would neither want to talk to him nor shake his hand.

I also wondered what it's like for people like the Countess of Wessex, having to appear alongside him.

He was never accused of having sex with a minor. I think the woman who accused him was trafficked and coerced into having sex with him and others.
That would make him a sex offender if found guilty in court wouldn't it?

Yes I believe he's putting on a show, waving, chatting and bowing, none of that has anything to do with grief.
Funny how the rest of the family with him appeared more restrained and dignified.

He should not be out and about at public events with the rest of the family - he is a disgusting man, and this looks like rehabilitation. The public walkabout has nothing to do with losing his mother. Most of us manage to grieve without television cameras. He can, too.

The woman that accused him had been quick to be quiet after being paid off… including her silence regarding her own recruitment of the other, younger, girls. Paedophile is a VERY strong word.

The woman that accused him had been quick to be quiet after being paid off

You do understand the meaning of the phrase "paid off" right?

Could you give context please..
Where did he do his show?

You probably think you're been oh so witty with the glib questioning but newsflash that's all been done to death on mumsnet long ago.
I'm sure if you put your mind to it you'll come up with a new fresh way to put down someone you disagree with.
In the meantime I'll carry on like most normal people and engage in meaningful conversation regardless if our opinion agrees or disagrees.
