Here we go … Andrew to leave Royal Lodge and lose title

[Flixon]

Headlined in The Times just now …. About bloody time …

Or being a complete toxic dick to a loving and supporting family. That’s not criminal either.

His brother is going to pay for his place. That's nice isn't it.

Does that mean Charles pays for it out of his private income?

Yes, the King owns Sandringham privately

Why does he need 1m per year? That's a lot of website subscriptions.

Yes

Newsnight suggesting much more to come.

Better late than never. I bet he was hoping it would all blow over but was persuaded that it wouldn’t.

Something else is afoot, possibly. An arrest, maybe.

Such a shame Virginia didn’t live long enough to read this news.

I think this and the paedophilia accusations will pale compared to the alleged backhanders / dodgy 'charities' that have apparently been created by the pair.

I'd say it was the photo of Epstein, Weinstein and Maxwell which was confirmed to have been taken in the garden of the Royal Lodge.

I doubt William had much to do with it despite what people might like to think and hope.
Charles needs to pass on the line as intact as possible and it was falling apart before his eyes and with the parliament demanding something had to be done.

Usually they brazen these things out but the photograph of three monsters being hosted in a royal residence was too much.

I strongly suspect KC was told what he needed to do.

and he thought it went well! just shows how arrogant and deluded he is

Is his weekly chemo because best way to treat if £ no object or indication of potential severity?

The original interview is on iPlayer if you want to see it all.

I just wish they’d get rid of Beatrice and Eugenie too, I can’t bloody stand them.

She will tunnel in under cover of darkness and Andrew will let her live in the attic.

That ain't mud love!

Will people please pray for the poor souls of Kings Lynn Golf Club when they have to welcome their newest member and he realises that they no longer need to bow/curtsey to him.

According to Dan Wootton there's been a briefing document requesting the media to be mindful that there remains a duty of care to all family members and that they take this into consideration in any articles that are published.
Wootton says he knows for a fact that Andrew has been under psychiatric care due to the pressure of the accusations.

Great. So we agree that this isn’t a witch hunt since it is about his actions, not his views.

Has anyone rocked up to say Harry Next! trying to deflect,obfuscate and throw Harry under the bus
Tone deaf to the vile predilections of Andrew an his wealthy acquaintances

I am not sure about Eugenie and Beatrice. I feel bloody sorry for them if they had no idea about their Fathers behaviour…but they were adults when the allegations were made and would have hopefully wondered why 🤦‍♀️

That doesn't reflect well on her.

Where's she going?

Well both E&B London homes are grace and favour apartments at St James's Palace and Kensington Palace so she might not want to go to either of those. One of them owns a home in the Cotswolds as well though so maybe she will go there.

Of course they knew and know. They have as adults trousered money, expensive jewellery, royal estate housing, and all the rest. Beatrice, 37, markets herself as a ‘private equity analyst’ and does business ‘introductions’ involving daddy’s contacts in the Middle East.

God knows how deep in they are with mummy’s grifting.

We really need Trump in the Epstein spotlight now.

Apparently there's ways and means. It's much harder to do, you have to ask a British court or go via the Hague, but not impossible.

This from the guardian a few years ago:
If Prince Andrew were lawfully served with a subpoena – be it for a grand jury, or a trial or deposition – generally speaking, he will need to comply.
However, it is far more difficult to serve him outside the US.
“Due to the heightened measures of security that surround the royal family, it certainly is far more difficult to walk up to a member of the royal family and serve them a subpoena as you would a private citizen,” Weinstein said.

This from BritBrief.co.uk (I have no idea how credible a source they are)

In a significant development that reignites the transatlantic legal firestorm surrounding the British royal family, former US Attorney General William Barr has confirmed that Prince Andrew remains a person of interest in the sprawling Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
The Duke of York could yet be subpoenaed and compelled to provide testimony to American prosecutors, Barr revealed, shedding new light on the Department of Justice's persistent efforts to unravel the full extent of Epstein's network

I might be getting legal speaking confused. He was previously served papers by Giuffre's lawyers several times and evaded them on each occasion.
