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

[Flixon]

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

I don’t think you can really say Andrew’s been thrown under the bus here given his own past conduct, including lying about his contact with Epstein, is the reason why he’s facing consequences. Jes Staley, ex-CEO of Barclays lost his job and has been banned from working the City for the same reason. They are reaping the consequences of their own choices.

Does anyone know the last time this happened?

I wonder if something else is about to come out about him!

Very possibly, @Thedom, but right now I'm interested to see if Andrew will retaliate

Also, what happened to the lengthy lease which so many insisted Charles could do nothing about?

Yes he is doing it his way. Publicly trashing and embarrassing his brother and family and the sister in law who had been so good to him.

Excellent 👍.
Fantastic last point about the victims. Absolutely spot on.

Well done, Charles.

I think it's fairly obvious when they talk about victims of abuse that they believe him to be a perpetrator of abuse.

Nah, in the old days they just chopped off their heads! 😆

Yes. Good.
It couldn't be clearer.

I’m on an interminably long train journey and this news has fair cheered me up. 🍻

Noooooo I really hope not. We don’t want him here. I would actually protest at this

The late Queen didn't have the heart to do it to her own son.

Charles probably won't have the heart to do it to harry his son. Once charles is dead and William's on the throne.All bets are off.

I just read this. At first I thought it was fake news. But it appears its not. Well its a surprise to me. But right thing to do. Enough is enough.

I wonder if certain other non working royals are getting a wee bit worried about how far William might swing the axe when he himself is King.

The ‘notwithstanding’ bit says a lot about what they think of him I think. That’s quite strongly worded for a BP statement.

The statement says “formal notice has been served to surrender the lease”. It’s the tenant who surrenders a lease, not the landlord, so Andrew has obviously been prevailed upon to quit the lease himself.

They should house him amongst commoners in a council house just so he really feels his fall. I’ve nothing against council houses and I don’t mean commoners as a slur but that is how he must view the general public thinking we are all stupid. Happy Christmas Andrew!!!

OFFS shut up about Harry. This thread is about a PEDOPHILE and you are still moaning on about Harry and Meghan. I'm not a fan of either of them but their poor behaviour absolutely is insignificant compared to Andrew's crimes.

I think it's been in the hands of a legal firm? They must have found a way to break it.

He is guilty of being a liar, we know that. I think 99% of people believe he’s guilty of sexual relations with a trafficked young woman. He is without remorse , humility or any shred of compassion for Epstein’s victims. He deserves to be tried in a Court of Law. This is a good start.

Good decision. Now KC needs to go through parliament and remove Andrew and Harry as Counsellors of State.

Not the worst idea.
Joke, obvs or is it?!.

During the First World War iirc. Some royal Dukes who were pro German lost their titles.

I'd feel sorry for the decent council house tenants having him for a neighbour!

Yes, I said he has made mistakes with book etc. Was that not clear in my post? Didn't think needed reiterating.
