Andrew Mountbatten Windsor

[StrongandNorthern]

Finally.

I agree. To be perfectly honest I dramatically toned down what I initially was going to post describing him in fear of being kicked off here or being locked in the tower for treason!

Definitely wouldn't want to go into that home with all that bad juju. 🤨

A pedophile is somebody who has sex with pre pubescent children. Andrew is a fool but he isn’t guilty of that.

Is it nicer/better/bigger/ more private than the house he's moving into?

They could change their minds yet if it is.

I’m not apologising for him. His behaviour was immoral and he’s got what he deserves. He is a disgrace, but he is not a paedophile. I think the truth matters.

I think that came up on the R4 6:30 comedy this evening so yes

I don't buy that. He was never contrite. His behaviour throughout has been consistent, and has never included 'contrite'. So I can't see the RF deciding now they require contrition when they haven't in the past.

On TV this evening some have found it easier to call him 'the former Prince Andrew' than to wrap their tongues around 'Mr. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor'.

I can't help but chuckle at how he now shares the same surname as Harry and Megs. She'll be madly unpicking the embroidered monogrammed initials off her linen table napkins.
I now also refer to Andy as "the P formerly known as Prince".

But her surname's Sussex, don't you know!

He had the same underpants on when he was still a prince, and then took the same ones off when he wasn't a prince.

Because they think moaning about your own family and being a bit of a twat is so much worse than associating with known sex offenders, lying on TV about it, using a police protection officer to dig up dirt on someone, using taxpayer funded trips to shag 40 prostitutes, associating with spies and doing shady property deals that look suspiciously like money laundering? Yeah they probably do.

Are you trying to claim that VG was in any position to say no?

No, you're just splitting hairs.

It's almost as if they have no staff members or professional PR working for them.

Or maybe they let him have just enough rope to hang himself with - they calculated his own statement (perhaps scribbled with crayons) would be a steaming pile of self serving horse shite that would incense the public, meaning they could easily push him out.

Reading between the lines in the Times, there seems to have been some concern about Andrew’s mental welfare at play in the phasing of the announcements. It was hoped that he’d disappear quietly, take a house and scarper. Instead the news articles and counter briefings about two houses continued. The concern on welfare matters though is real; his whole life has been about being a prince and he and Sarah are status driven in the extreme.

I also find it extraordinary that Sarah F decides enough is enough now. Not Andrew inviting a paedophile into your daughter’s 18th party, or using the same person to bankroll your extravagant life,
No, she’s moving on now that there isn’t a fully paid mansion with security in a prime location. A small house in the depths of Norfolk doesn’t have the same cachet at all.

What the fuck did he actually do to warrant this. More to come I expect.

I mean, she then took both girls to said paedophiles 'celebration' party so it is likely she couldnt care less. The important thing is that he was giving her money to spend like water. Anything else was irrelevant.

I already made that joke complete with picture.

I suspect it was a case of bluff and who blinks first. They have been talking for a while about Andy moving out of the lodge. Without doing royal duties he could not live in the royal lodge, he is not working for the priviledge. They brought in one of his daughters to try and negotiate. Andy refused to go quietly stating he had a watertight legal right to be there (probably why they offered to look after the 2 corgis).

So with I guess Camilla (who runs charities supporting women who have been sexually abused) and William who seems unimpressed with his uncles mid life crisis behaviour have drawn a line in the sand and he is no longer a prince.

Du you think someone who's trafficked is in any position to give consent?

Why not just call him the "ex prince"? There aren't any others to get confused by and a reminder may be helpful in future ...

I suspect you're right, lemonraspberry, but wouldn't assume too much from Camilla's "support for sexually abused women"

They all enjoy the PR opportunities which charities offer, but it doesn't necessarily follow that they give a stuff about those concerned

How about "the sleazebag formerly known as Prince"?
