Lets be honest here too, someone with as much power behind him as Andrew has was never going to face any real consequences, was he? I hope at least Victoria's charity can use some of that money to help other women and girls to get out of similar situations

If they abolished the monarchy and opened everything up to the public fully, there'd be a tourism SURGE for several decades. Maybe not the longer-term appeal of the "unique" active Monarchy but honestly I don't think that extends all that far beyond The Queen anyway ... I think what she herself represents is what holds a lot of the interest. No one is interested in King Charles ... that's just how it is ... and I swear William gets more dull by the day as well.
