Nope I have never seen the same amount of scrutiny given to Prince Andrew. As a matter of fact I've seen many posters stick up for him and even dare I say it blame the victim.

I have literally NEVER seen that.

And I spend waste most of my time on royal threads.

PA invites nothing but contempt universally on here, IME

He’s as good as told us the King is dying, doesn’t have long left and yes, his cancer was always going to be life limiting but I never thought it would be this limiting in terms of time. It’s very upsetting.

And Harry? There is seriously something wrong with him. He’s beyond hope or help.

Edited

That’s exactly what I think he was saying. Disgraceful if he is revealing it before the King chooses to.

Harry and Meghan are divisive people so lots of discussions .
Andrew is almost universally disliked so threads tend to be shorter as there is no disagreement .
I have never seen anyone defend Andrew .

I had to argue with a woman who was defending Prince Andrew. The royal threads make me sick. Even now you are trying to make them the same they are not.

I think he wants to come home to get more material for another book/Netflix series to try and keep themselves relevant.

I was reading it totally differently I was reading it as he wants to get back in with his family because hes ready to leave Meghan and being isolated, no family, few friends. And his kids are isolated from cousins ie their future support network.

One of the papers printed that he wants the kids to go to school in the UK. Which I assumed was because he knows the UK press will leave them alone but has no guarantee of that in the states.

I hadn't really thought he could just be looking for more book material.

The book? It was a series of corrections to stories already out there. One point of view had been put out and it needed to be corrected.'

He keeps lying. Half of those stories were never even known—like how he treated his teacher, how he put cream on his frostbitten part, or how he lost his virginity, just to name a few.

Right. I didn't read the book but the highlights were all over the internet. Had no idea his first shag called him a Stallion 😅😂 That poor woman certainly didn't want that published in a book.

What about the whiny "Willy bwoke my neckwace!" nonsense. None of this stuff was even remotely in the public domain before ginge and minge put their heads together for him to go spare in public.

Maybe he's just so stupid he doesn't really remember the truth. It's that or he's lying again.

Andrew is despised.
Poster A ‘I loath Andrew’
Poster B ‘I agree’
Poster C ‘he’s scum’

not much to discuss really.

H& M are divisive so threads are different.

Do they look harmed you can't answer for them. They probably know a lot more than what you think. You don't see the royals thanking anyone because they know.

Eh? That makes no sense.
Of course someone invading your privacy hurts you. Of course someone telling lies about you being a racist hurts you!

I agree.

And I think there are fewer threads about him because threads come from a) new information, and there are threads about him when new stuff comes out, and b) disagreement. A thread about Andrew is generally just posters agreeing he’s awful.

I also took the year comment to mean Charles is in very poor health.

But Harry also knows if he doesn't rebuild the bridges with Charles his chances with William would be between zero and f-all.

All the Andrew threads are boring, everyone agrees he is an awful human being, so they fizzle out.

I have seen some posters argue from a legal point of view, and some disagree with labels placed on Andrew which they feel are not accurate. - But they do not in any way defend his actions or behaviors.

But pretty much everyone agrees he is awful and anyone saying hang on I think he's a nice chap is shot down.

Yes, I agree with pp, there's obviously an inheritance to sort out.

Yet you don't show the same venom for Prince Andrew that you do for Harry and Meghan. The world can see us and how we feel. They know our passion it's all over the news. Yet you say it has nothing to do with racism?

I don't know about the Royal thread category specifically, but the PP is correct. There have been threads where people defend Andrew, say the picture with him and Giuffre are faked, or it doesn't mean he slept with her, or she wasn't underage by British standards, PA was naive etc etc etc.

I have to agree that compared with M&H Andrew does not receive the same amount of comment. I appreciate however, that on a whole most people think him despicable so probably don't consider him worth commenting about in the first place.

NewAgeNewMe · 15/09/2025 11:53

I don’t understand your comment? Andrew is a piece of scum. What more can I say.

They fizzle out because there is no passion because of his privilege. You are all happy for him to remain where he is and not say a word. Until Harry comes into the picture.

lorrepa · 15/09/2025 11:55

Harry is so disingenuous. We all saw you sell your soul to Oprah and Netflix. Own it. Don’t pretend like you didn’t betray your family’s trust for the money you needed Maybe they deserved it. But don’t take us for fools. Harry and Meghan seem to always want to gaslight the public it’s very odd. (I’m not a Meghan hater either - I actually like her style and make up etc but so find her very cringe these days).

It's not only me it's what everyone is thinking who watches and reads the news. You don't want anyone to say anything to you. You want to look the fool.

NewAgeNewMe · 15/09/2025 11:57

You are talking bullshit. Andrew is effectively retired from public life. He’s despised and derided. He needs to face up to what he’s done but that won’t happen. Trump and Clinton were also there. The rot at the top is rotten to the core.

this thread is about Harry. If you want to discuss Andrew maybe start another.

Otherwise DARVO

Andrew is largely irrelevant. The king has as I understand it pretty much put him in a cupboard where he will remain for the rest of his life. I doubt he will be wheeled out in any official capacity. He isn’t courting the press, and right now is pretty much hiding from them. He hasn’t written a book about how hard done by he is, and he won’t unless he wants to find himself homeless. He is entirely dependant on his brother to live.
Harry on the other hand needs to be in the spotlight to make a living. He wants people to talk about him. I’m sure he’d rather they said nice things about him but unless he is even dimmer than generally thought he surely knows that whining to the press every five seconds will not bring him popularity, just column inches. If for example the RF were trying to rehabilitate Andrew I think comments about him would increase in venom.

SuperTrooper1111 · 15/09/2025 11:58

After King Charles was diagnosed, one of the American showbiz magazines printed a story claiming to know the specific cancer he had and his prognosis, which was picked up around the world but obviously not published in the UK. At the time it was suspected the leak to the mag had come from Montecito after Harry's mad dash to the UK. When I read Harry's comment about his dad being the priority in the coming year, I did think it that it tallied with what the mag had printed.

MyDeftHedgehog · 15/09/2025 11:59

Oh bless his little heart. He's realised with a thunderclap of clarity that the only currency he has is the Royal Family.
Charles may be open to forgiving him and bringing him back into the fold but I believe William would chop his own leg off with a rusty axe before he would forgive Harry for his spiteful nasty behaviour towards his own family 😬

That's how Meghan felt. That's why they left. Harry and Meghan were the victims not you.

You're wasting your time.
The level of hate directed towards H&M is off the scale.
Harry didn’t ask to be born with a title, the public thinking they can dictate his life.
I'd rather scrub toilets in their position than return to the hateful mob.
Harry was a scapegoat for Randy Andy, funnily enough the Einstein drama is getting bigger, are they redirecting the news again, invite Harry back for talks.
The UK media treated Meghan appallingly, whilst the others stood by, finger wagging.
