AMW arrested …

At last …. 😊

I should have added, not only leeching, but being a total and utter embarrassment to the country, the government who he was representing and to the monarchy.

The MoS ran a story yesterday about how, in 2001, Andrew was visiting the Emirates and was invited to attend a reception for a British defence company. An important member of their RF was attending and it was very important that Andrew welcomed him etc. The consulate and the FO agreed with Andrew’s team that he would go directly to him and spend ten minutes with him and receive the gift he was bringing. Instead Andrew arrived through a completely different entrance and greeted whoever he felt like. The VIP was left waiting an hour. Andrew completely ignored what he was told to do. What was the point of him if he couldn’t do what he was told?

I can only imagine that Andrew had the ear of Her Majesty, and let it be known to everyone around him that he wouldn’t hesitate to run to her and complain about people.

And QEII in turn let it be known through her private secretary that she would never entertain any kind of criticism of her second son; and that officials, if they knew what was good for them, would comply with her wishes for a quiet life without unpleasantness.

Absolutely. I hope Cameron and Osborne also have the smug smiles wiped off their faces by being hauled in front of a Judicial committee to explain not only the Trade Envoy stuff but their dreadful negotiations of the Sovereign Grant and negotiating one sided contracts that mean the NHS and MoD handing millions over to the Duchy for decades to come. At the same time as they were closing Surestart Centres and gleefully implementing austerity for the rest of us.

Actually at the moment I think it's politicians who have been behaving as if the monarch were absolute and appointed by Gid. Why else did they let Andrew keep his role for so long?

Mandelson also arrested now

Good! About time, when are they hauling Tony Blair in for questioning?

I was wondering the same. He surely has a lot of questions to answer?

And David Cameron.

And George Osborne

Realistically I think we all know the answer to our questions! 😡

We should never forget the chief cheerleader for never reducing royal funding.

From what I have gleaned, KC3 has completely cut AMW adrift. There will be no protection from that quarter.

Back in the olden days KC3 would have had AMW dropped into an oubliette. Somewhere out of the way in the Sandringham estate was intended as the modern equivalent.

Except that each new revelation from the Epstein files has made 'a retreat from public life' impossible. No doubt each time something new has come out AMW has said 'no, there's nothing more'. Except there has been.

KC3 may well not know but does suspect that there is more and it's worse.

Looks like the trade Envoy files will finally be released, no doubt with plenty of redactions, but it’s a start.
