Andrew Mountbatten Windsor

[StrongandNorthern]

Finally.

How utterly ridiculous. No matter what your opinion of harry is, comparing them is really crass.

Earlier in the week (or was it last week?) it was being reported that A was negotiating for a separate house for her, as well as ond gor him.

Agree - presumably this wasn't always inevitable, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with the statement about titles from Andrew - so what has changed?

They underestimated the reaction from us commoners when Andrew announced he'd stop using titles, and continued to show no care for the young women who'd been trafficked.

That statement was supposed to knock the whole thing on the head.

Instead it acted as petrol on the fire.

I am just puzzled as to why, a week-or-so after A's statement about not using his titles, the RF go scorched earth on him.
It sounded then like they had negotiated a deal.whereby he would go quietly.
So what riled them up to the point that they went proper nuclear?

You're not alone in wondering, @Rhaidimiddim, but they're certainly not going to tell us so we can only wait for what else they fail to cover up comes out

Whatever it is there's a pretty high chance it'll be mishandled, and while I've no great faith in William it surely can't be any worse than this when his turn comes

The Andrew formerly known as Prince singing Purple Reign.

Spare

I suspect they were working out with parliament & lawyers what needed to happen to remove the titles and sort out the lease, and KC3 wanted to give Andrew one last chance to make a decent statement which included some contrition.

He clearly failed to do that, which pulled the trigger on everything else. As someone said on another thread, KC3 has probably been taught a few things by Camilla and Sophie over the past few years.

I dont think he was contrite in the slightest so they went scorched earth

Its only a matter of time before H&M lose their titles too. They are so desperate for fame, money, and attention. I have no doubt they will also associate with the wrong people, if they haven't already done so. Andrew's demise sets a precedent. I personallly don't think Andrew is a sex offender, just very stupid.

Rubbish! If the king decided that selling stories about the family was worthy of punishment in the form of removing titles then he would have to abdicate. Harry isn’t the first and probably won’t be the last royal to sell stories about the family!

How on earth do you equate the paedophile Andrew Mountbatten Windsor with the Duke of Sussex? I

He had sex with a coercived child. What is your definition of a sex offender if not that?

You think that stripping the titles of a man who sexually assaulted/raped a young woman is a 'warning shot' to Harry?

What is wrong with you?

He’s an immoral sleazebag but he’s not a paedophile.

His behaviour was disgusting, but Virginia Giuffre was not a pre pubescent child so he’s not a paedophile.

Don't be silly.
Its damage limitation. Charles's hand was forced.

Will you ever grow up.

You're embarrassing yourself.

• "Paedophile" is the general term for individuals like Jeffrey Epstein who are convicted of or accused of sexual offenses against children.
• "Minor" (under 18 years old in the US) is the legal classification for the victim at the time of the alleged abuse, as specified in court documents.
• The lawsuits focused on specific allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking.
• The term "paedophile" itself is a descriptive term for an individual's sexual interest, not the specific legal charge of the civil suit brought by Giuffre against Prince Andrew.

@Senso
So are you saying that KC stripped A of his titles etc just so that he can line up Harry for the same treatment? Really ?

He was 41, she was 17. Please stop apologising for abusive men.

There is no doubt that Andrew is a sleazy horrible man but he hasn’t been accused of being a paedophile. A Paedophile is attracted to prepubescent children.

It’s not apologising for him at all. It’s correcting and using the appropriate language which is important.

Will he be known as the 'Andrew formerly known as Prince'?
