Prince Andrew gives up royal titles after string of scandals

[bèlla]

What a horrific punishment! Will the suffering never end?

The system is toxic and this isn’t the first instance of something along those lines. Charles was very close with Jimmy Savile but his crimes weren’t revealed until he was dead and he‘s Harry’s godfather too. No one with the level of intel they possess is in the dark about anyone. Prince Philip is on record advising Andrew to stay away from Epstein because he wasn’t interested in him as a person but what he could get. But he didn’t and there’s a photo of Maxwell sitting on the throne with someone with similar allegations.

If he wasn’t the queen’s favorite this would have been handled long ago. In that respect he doesn’t function as a spare usually does in their system. They’re designed to be a shield on the heir’s behalf because the press must be fed. To keep the heir from getting bad publicity you give them dirt on someone else instead. One party looks good and the other seems troubled. We saw that with the queen and her sister.

There was a lawsuit and settlement of 12 million pounds and she paid it on his behalf. He was forced to step down because of the interview with BBC that became the inspiration for a Netflix special. The victim is deceased and her book was just released with more incriminating evidence. That’s why he’s in hot water.

Thank you!

As an American, I’m not sure how monarchies or royal titles work

As a non-American, I'm not sure either.

What a lovely family tradition they have…

 

[Isaac the Recluse]

And we never bow to them as Americans! We have no royals here

20, even 10 years ago I would have given this the response it deserves.
I still responded, but I behaved myself.

 

[Bradskii]

Can the term prince ever be stripped away or is that his birth right so to speak?

Birthright. He's a prince by definition.

Birthright. He's a prince by definition.

Thanks for the response.

Wrist slapping intensifies .

Significantly, Mr.
Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

I hope the nephew in California is paying attention.

 

[Hans Blaster]

Going forward, he will be known simply as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

or more properly Andrew Battenberg-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Those "windsors" keep renaming themselves to non-German things.

 

[RamiC]

Some entitled non entity loses some titles. Oh no!

Thank you for this - his name just became "Entnonentno" in this house.

I watched a clip of him last night. One time in full regalia another in civvies being greeted by some lickspittles with a suitable amount of bowing and scraping. Now his titles are gone he's just some nonentity called Andy. Maybe now people will realise that it's all smoke and mirrors.

Here we go again… Make no mistake, it’s a hit piece. They weren’t allowed to talk before. Be careful who you admire.

Disgraced Royal Andrew ‘Ordered 40 Prostitutes’ to Thailand Hotel, Historian Claims

Disgraced Prince Andrew allegedly once had 40 prostitutes brought to his five-star hotel during a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, his biographer has claimed. Andrew, engaged with the bevy of women over a four-day stretch, royal historian and author Andrew Lownie alleged.

“There was a famous trip to Thailand — for the birthday celebrations of the King. Andrew is representing his country and insists on staying in a five-star hotel rather than the embassy, which he always did,” Lownie told the Daily Mail’s “Deep Dive: The Fall of the House of York” podcast.

“Andrew had 40 prostitutes brought in the space of four days. This was all enabled by diplomats and others.” Lownie said multiple sources, including a member of the Thai royal family, had backed up the allegation.

The jaunt was allegedly one of many trips Andrew exploited on the taxpayer’s dime when he was serving as a Trade Envoy for the UK in the early 2000s.

“In 2001, Andrew is 41, he’s having his midlife crisis, and he basically starts chasing lots and lots of women,” Lownie said.
“He uses the excuse of his role as Trade Envoy, paid for by the taxpayer, to go off on these trips,” he continued.

“He always puts in two weeks of ‘private time.’ So, we pay for his holiday and then he goes off and does things.”

Lownie went on to argue there was a “conspiracy of silence” engulfing the since-shunned royal – as he called on the British government’s National Archives to release its files on Andrew’s time as the Trade Envoy.

“Andrew was sending a list of people he wanted to meet for his own personal business interests,” he alleged.

“All the files from his time as Trade Envoy between 2001 and 2011 remain closed. They should be in the National Archive,” the historian continued. “They remain closed, and that is part of the conspiracy of silence around Andrew that we need to break.”

London —
Prince Andrew will relinquish the use of his royal titles including Duke of York after discussing the matter with King Charles.

“In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family,” Prince Andrew said in a statement released by Buckingham Palace.

The change will take effect immediately, a royal source told CNN.

Prince Andrew has faced mounting pressure over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and his links to an alleged Chinese spy.


However:
Andrew will continue to reside at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he has a private tenancy agreement, a royal source said. He will also retain his title as “prince” because he is the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II.



...sooooo not any sort of real punishment

The guy (and many other powerful people should be in jail).

 

[lismore]

...sooooo not any sort of real punishment

He didn't give up the titles willingly, he was stripped of them.

As much as I don't like the aka royal family, I would point out that a punishment cannot be levied as Andrew Windsor hasn't yet been found guilty of anything. He hasn't even been put on trial for a crime and 'innocent until proven guilty' still applies. There are allegations, not convictions. I am of the opinion that there should be a legal investigation, but such a process hasn't started, never mind concluded.

Kind Regards

Given the age of his former victim the statute of limitations may apply and the civil suit was settled and the queen paid it. He denied knowing her and the pictures came out afterward. He denied corresponding with Epstein after things went public and emails penned by him proved otherwise. A similar exchange occurred between Epstein and Fergie as well. That’s why she was punished too.

The bible says, “For there is nothing hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come out into the open.”

They had to cut him off. He said “we’ll play again soon“ to someone who dealt with minors. There’s no wiggle room with that. Out of the mouth the heart speaks does it not? Who hangs around someone like that?

[Nithavela]

He's just the pawn they sacrifice to the public opinion. The truly powerful still escape even public naming.

 

[lismore]

Who hangs around someone like that?

~bella

Allegedly Andrew Windsor, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Peter Mandelson, Michael Jackson to name a few.

The hanging around should be seen as dubious in the court of public opinion, but it's not yet found to be criminal in an actual court. And these are allegations, not proven facts.

God Bless

His status protects him. As is often the way with this kind of thing.
