How do you a.feel habing to pay secuirty for Andrew eh...your money protecting him...

Not criminal but they will say he didnt try and get info on Virginia etc and then will infer it was all made up as he has always claimed.

This is what I was gettig at on the other thread when I said it was utterly appalling of A to put the protection officer under such intolerable pressure.

Refuse to act: get berated and sworn at then get transferred to directing traffic.

Act: Risk of being found to have accessed data without good reason constantly over your head then when or if it's discovered lose your job.

What a git A is even to have even thought of 'asking' (and I wouldn't be surprised to find it was more of an order) 😡

He's run out of shit to throw at his family and needs the money 😉

I get where you're coming from, noonames, but guess it may come down to who's got what on who, and who might blink first

There's also the point that Andrew's not got much of a reputation left to lose, whereas others might quite like to hang onto theirs, even if they're based mostly on PR and pretence

God, what a family ...

Hasn't he been stripped of his royal security?

Yes, Dollymylobve, or at least that's what's been claimed

It was done by the late Queen when he "stepped back" from public roles, and the palace said they'd pay for private security for him instead - though whether they found some way to charge that to us too is unknowable

Andrew/Ferguson’s memoir would be explosive, fair play 😆

Probably even more woe-is-me than Spare, but I reckon a lot of things would come out.

Yes.

This is very intriguing given the way he's flapped his gums so openly over his grievances with so many others.

Also notable that he's never waaaghed about the Tindalls and Peter Phillips milking their connections so hard their hands fall off enjoying the kind of HIHO he was denied and all after Michael called him a bellend.

Yes, a while ago. And his allowance. And it wasn’t public money anyway, we stopped paying for his security a few years ago.

We don’t pay for his security .

Charles refused to pay 32k pounds a year for Andrew's live-in yoga instructor.

He isn't.

He's been allowed to put out a statement on his own behalf positing him as selflessly placing his titles into the void for the wider good. He keeps the mini palace. The 'blood princesses' retain their standing.

The only thing he's lost is the chance to place himself centre stage at 'private' family events, banter with the plebs on Christmas day and raid the dressing up box for velvet curtains.

Otherwise business as usual.

Theres no need for you to police this thread thank you

I agree with most of that, Cathy, but do wonder about the "private family events"

Let's face it, if he chooses to turn up, gurning, at some future church event like the recent funeral, what are they going to do ... tackle him to the floor?

Nah Fergie is so up RF arse she would never betray them

God forbid a man would want to reconcile with his father.

There's a good reason why Harry has not said a word about Andrew and posts referencing the Sussexes on this thread are perhaps not entirely out of place. www.businessinsider.com/meghan-markle-could-testify-in-prince-andrew-lawsuit-lawyer-says-2021-12 Who knows what's been going on, but HLMTQ financed the 12 million settlement to Giuffre very quickly when she realised who else may be involved. Prior to this Andrew had always insisted that he would not capitulate and wanted to fight the allegations.
It's all so murky and horrible, but I'm another who can't understand why none of the high profile Americans involved have not yet been held to account.

But we did whilst all this went on.

A lawyer representing Roberts Giuffre told The Daily Beast Markle may have "important knowledge"
David Boies said the US has jurisdiction over her and she was close to Andrew for a period of time

At least the source is named this time, but what the hell is this supposed to mean?

Even leaving aside his ridiculous assertion that "she is somebody who we can count on to tell the truth", when is she supposed to have had time to get close to Andrew during the whirlwind romance?

Hopefully, 'abroad' will bounce him right back...

“Lauren the Insider” latest video on YouTube where she has interviewed Andrew Lownie may shed some light, (she was in PR for celebs for 20 years) AL is looking into Soho House….

Looking forward to hearing from the apologists now!

That’s not what you said ! Your post implied the taxpayer is still paying .
