I have pre-ordered Andrew Lownie's Book (out I think 14th August) A thread for those interested in "Entitled"

[BasiliskStare]

So for those interested in this book about the Yorks. I will read it and interested to hear from others who have or to give an opinion.

No spitting , no gouging 😂

So am I right in thinking Andrew can transport or use a gun, ONLY if accompanied by someone else? That seems to be what the news report is saying.

Yes that how it seems to me.

Charles doesn't need a passport, he can fly anywhere in the world without one. As could QE2

The Epstein files reveal Andrew had links to a second convicted sex offender and also holidayed on his private island.

No wonder they took his guns off him, it just keeps getting worse.

Oh yes I knew about Nygard.

Andrew Sarah and the kids used to holiday with him. Another paedophile to add to their collection.

"...and the kids".ewwww why would someone do that

Thanks for the link.

It's like Groundhog Day, isn't it? 😡

What with this and the 'inappropriate friends' email from Balmoral I'm becoming more and more convinced that this is the kind of detail BP knew was coming and was attempting to get in front of when they 'stripped' MW of the titles and honorifics.

These new revelations don’t surprise me tbh! Lownie said he was a sex addict. Who had been abused himself. This set a dangerous pattern.

But when posters talk about BP getting in front of the allegations? Hardly! BP have been dragging their feet for years over these issues.

I said 'attempting'

The Palace response has been patently woeful for decades.

I’ve no idea but there is something seriously wrong about the proclivities of some of the aristocracy. Give me boring middle class Puritanism any time.

When you read Entitled; neither SF or Andrew appear to have learnt any basic morals. About paying your bills, not borrowing money, being respectful, checking your own behaviour.

You can understand it with SF because her parents were busy having affairs, her father was off to massage parlours and her father’s nickname for her (sorry for this rather alarming detail) was Ginger Bush. That is worse than odd if you ask me,

With Andrew, you would have thought he would have been schooled better with his mother head of the C of E. Of course we now know his father had a multitude of affairs.

It makes you look at them all through a different perspective doesn’t it? The insistence on correct speech, comportment, attire; calling people by the right title, an emphasis on social etiquette. It looks like for some of these aristocrats at least; it’s all a big smoke screen for doing exactly what they want, no matter who gets hurt in the process.

Aristocrats have no idea how to behave. Duke of Marlborough James Spencer-Churchill due in court for repeatedly strangling his wife (non fatal). He just didn't turn up. He's connected to Diana's family and Winston Churchill,

The Royals are just aristocrats with added kudos. They don't know how to behave either.

Agree with all this.

There's a claim in the book that Andrew lost his virginity aged 11 to a hooker hired by a friend's father, which as Tanya Gold points out would likely hold a key to his psychology and attitude towards sex

The Queen Mother never paid bills,so if she was a scrounger why would anyone else in the upper echelons think it wrong not to bother.

Philip seems to have shagged his way around the world.

The late queen interfered in legislation, kept money safe in dodgy offshore locations, tried to get a grant for her heating that was meant for poor people. She protected Andrew.

Charles married his mistress and she's now the queen.

As a family, they kept two members hidden because they had SEN.

They are allowed to keep their wills closed after death.

William keeps his taxes hidden, unlike his father.

And on and on it goes.

Their overall sense of entitlement is mind boggling.

So the York sisters turned up at Sandringham.
They know which side their bread is buttered.
That Edoardo gives me the ick.

I think Eugenie wasn’t there @deeahgwitch ?

She was there with her husband.

Here.

So she was…
So much for reports that they were staying away .

Course they wouldn't stay away! They wouldn't have missed it for anything.

No Fergie. Is she still living with Andrew

Grifters, the pair of them.

Gotta keep that gravy train rollin'...

You're not alone, deeahgwitch; I don't know what kind of a woman would want someone else's fiance as their OH, and personally I'd feel dirty

Then again being raised with their parents' example before them probably skews the outlook somewhat ...
