Prince Andrew is no longer HRH

[AnnieK]

The Queen has stripped him of all his patronages and Military titles

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59987935

He will face trial as a private citizen and won't be able to hide behind Royal privilege

[Cherie]

Liz not messing about

it should have been done a long time ago

[joeysteele]

I think this is a right course of action.
It is all a mess in what should have been one of the Monarch's happier of years with more celebration.

Hopefully, this action can mean the Queen can enjoy her Platinum celebration in peace

[rusticgal]

The right thing to do….

[thesheriff443]

It’s definitely the right decision

Andrew has been swimming in dirty waters long before this up coming trial.

But I’m sure in private he is still the queen’s favourite, Charles is no saint and the queens sister had plenty of scandals in her life.

[rusticgal]

It must have been a hard decision from the Queen…it’s her son at the end of the day…but his guilt is pretty much there for all to see and she had to do the right thing…
Poor Queenie….did she really need or deserve this at the end of her reign…:fist:

From what I understand, she was 17 at the time.
In some States the age of consent is older than that so she was considered a minor at the time.

It isn't just about her age ,she said she was forced into sex. Then there's the Epstein link and the lies he told about not being able to sweat. That interview he did back in 2019 was embarrassing :facepalm:.

Oh absolutely GoldHeart I agree fully.
That is really something she needs to address.

That she alleges Prince Andrew took part in that too, is of real concern.

Generally, if someone is accused falsely of something they want to clear their name and fight it.
Not go to any lengths to close it down and avoid fighting it as Andrew has tried to do all through.

The monies she got before and that signed agreement, I'd guess, I don't know obviously, however I'd guess she was pushed very hard to sign and accept that maybe even threatened if she didn't.

I was just answering Kazanne, because to so e it seems odd that with her being 17 how is that underage.
However in the USA the age of consent is 18 in some States.

You are right though, this is also about her being passed around men for other unsavoury reasons.
That's the major crime.

If Andrew loses this case too, then he is then well identified as being involved in those crimes too.
Which may open up a whole new can of worms for him to come further.

Yeah I still don't understand why some states say it's underage and others don't, but it's as if each state in America is it's own country with different rules.

Exactly from the beginning he's been all over the place, he hasn't co operated with the police or anything. He has guilt written all over him.

Yes he does have guilt written all over him, I agree.

[user104658]

He's the tip of the iceberg and the gaze is falling on him because all he's really done is "come from wealth" - he doesn't have the same individual power as most of Epstein's other "guests". Unfortunately most of them will never face any sort of public scrutiny let alone a court case.

An embarrassing report has emerged in the Sunabout an inappropriate joke Prince Andrew once shared to a pregnant woman

Spoiler: NSFW
Prince Andrew informed a pregnant lady he was a ‘tits and bum’ sort of man, in reference to the victim’s large chest reportedly ,
He then ‘roared into laughter’ like ‘a little schoolboy’

The claim comes from an ex-acquaintance who reported it to New Zealand paper ‘Waikato Times’

Sexually abusive men getting off scot free is far from irrelevant. They are free to carry on doing what they do.

[user104658]

Sexually abusive men getting off scot free is far from irrelevant. They are free to carry on doing what they do.Obviously I agree with that but one is far, far better than none and the idea occasionally seems to be... "if these others won't face justice why should Andrew have to".

I've mentioned my own suspicions about the reasons either on this thread or another similar one; most of Epstein's "guests" were powerful in the worlds of business or politics on their own, and thus have the contacts and knowhow to avoid anything falling on them. Andrew was drawn into it from a world of generational wealth that doesn't require any of those contacts or tactics and so he's found himself out in the open, on his own, with no idea what he's doing. He chose to try to fight it all his own way instead of letting Royal "Management" handle it (who for example did not want him to do the disastrous telly interview) and he's effectively dug his own grave.

So yeah that's the reason these others are not facing the same. They've done a better job at covering their tracks, and they have more powerful friends. Andrew's only powerful friends are the main bloodline royals; mummy did her best and I doubt Charles or William want to know. Unlike "normal" powerful strings-pullers, ultimately the Royals have to consider their public support base.

I agree with some of what you say, but nevertheless there seems to be little appetite or interest in flushing these other men out by the authorities, in the media, or by Virginia herself. What happened to ‘no - one is above the law’?

For instance, Bill Clinton was said to be like a brother to Epstein. Epstein even had a portrait of Bill painted wearing high heels and the dress Monica Lewinsky wore. He was seen around Epstein’s properties with young girls, VG herself claimed, and she talks about being forced to have sex with 'countless' men.
It’s not a case of Andrew’s actions shouldn’t be highlighted because theirs are not. One being better than none simply isn’t good enough!!!

[bots]

lack of proof would be the obvious reason. She has a photo with andrew, that sets the scene for her allegations, if she didnt have that or similar for the others she just doesnt have any evidence

She's not going to name people without there being a good chance of getting something to stick, and these people have ways of making sure nothing does. That's an issue that needs to be tackled from the top down (but likely never will be) - certainly there's absolutely nothing the victims can do about it. They hold none of the power or influence.

Prince Andrew has settled a civil sexual assault case brought against him in the US by Virginia Giuffre, court documents show.

Ms Giuffre had been suing the Duke of York, claiming he sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17, allegations he has repeatedly denied.

A document submitted to a US court on Tuesday said the duke and Ms Giuffre had reached an out-of-court settlement.

It said he would make a "substantial donation to Ms Giuffre's charity".

The document stated that Prince Andrew had "never intended to malign Ms Giuffre's character" and that he recognised she had "suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks".

It added that the duke pledged to "demonstrate his regret for his association" with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by supporting the "fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims".

Oh wow she's getting a second payoff from someone she made an unsubstantiated claim about?

[bots]

it was a civil case so it was always about money. After Andrew failed to get the case thrown out pretrial, all the dirt was going to come out whether he was found libel or not, and thats not something the royal institution would allow to happen, so it was 100% predictable that he would settle

There was enough evidence to warrant it going to court Andrew had a lot of questions to answer under oath. People can make up their own minds, but i am 100% certain he was aware of what was going on. The thing is, his reputation is shot. When the queen dies he will then have zero protection, so i dont think we have heard the end of it yet

[jet]

Apparently 97% of civil cases are settled out of court and Andrew was under intense pressure from the royal family to settle as the media circus lasting months on end from the deposition and civil trial would destroy the Queen’s jubilee year celebrations.

Note he has only expressed regret at his association with Epstein, he hasn’t admitted to the allegations from Virgina Giuffre. I’m very very surprised she didn’t insist that he had to do this before accepting the settlement when she previously said that was her aim and monetary compensation was very much of secondary importance.
Perhaps she didn’t relish being questioned on the stand either.

Yes…I thought she was only going to accept a payment if he admitted his guilt :shrug:

[jet]

Yes…I thought she was only going to accept a payment if he admitted his guilt :shrug:

Indeed. In an Times interview last month her lawyer David Boies was adamant that for Giuffre this wasn’t about the money. “What’s important for Virginia is to vindicate herself and the other victims.

The thing is though, many other men of wealth and power are escaping responsibility, men who she has also accused of abusing her, like former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, former senator George Mitchell, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, French modelling scout Jean Luc Brunel and the billionaire Glenn Dubin, among others.
She hasn’t taken a civil action against any of these American men.…it seems odd that the only man she is willing to hold to account is a British one.

Indeed. In an Times interview last month her lawyer David Boies was adamant that for Giuffre this wasn’t about the money. “What’s important for Virginia is to vindicate herself and the other victims. Not to let someone escape responsibility, just because of their wealth and power. To hold Prince Andrew to account”.

The thing is though, many other men of wealth and power are escaping responsibility, men who she has also accused of abusing her, like former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, former senator George Mitchell, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, French modelling scout Jean Luc Brunel and the billionaire Glenn Dubin, among others.

the majority will come from the queens stash which arguably came from the people in days gone by, but it won't have come from the current public pursePretty much this, it won't come from current public funds and I think people tend to underestimate the PERSONAL wealth of the Monarchy (especially the current monarch)... It's double figures billions. HIGH double figures. The Queen herself is "officially" worth over 500 million, £5 billion if you include "Royal Treasures" (she technically owns them as assets - but they could never be sold, leveraged or liquidated so that really means nothing... They just exist... I suppose that's what makes something "priceless").

Anyway her true personal wealth is realistically over £1 billion at this point anyway, she owns land all over the place that would likely sell for much more than its listed value currently.

And that's just the Queen.

For the family as a whole, £12m is nowt, from their own back pocket and nothing to do with public funds.

Although as you say... If you take the actual entire history of the Monarchy into account then yes of course it's all plunder at the end of the day. The British Empire was the largest and most successful the world has ever seen when it existed, and unlike now, up until a couple of hundred years ago the monarch was very much at the top of that pyramid. Spanning the whole globe, pilfering wealth from every corner :joker:

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.

the tourists are interested in the history. The castles near me still gets mega numbers of visitors because it was where Henry 8th and anne boleyn hung out. That was a much more historically interesting time than now and the tourists lap it up. Nothing to do with the current bunch. The queen gets some attention from the parades that they wheel her out for, but in terms of visitor numbers thats nothing compared to what historical britain pulls in

the royal family as a whole and in particular the queen, wont miss 12 million. Andrew has to survive on 250k that the queen gives him annually. He is selling a chalet co-owned with his ex wife, but that wont raise 12 million for Andrew so the queen will make up the difference She wont lay it on Charles and neither Anne or Edward could afford it either. There are extended family royals that are worth shedloads but they wont get involved. It only leaves the queen that would cough up the cash

Prince Andrew has found himself firmly back in the headlines this week, but presumably not in the way he'd hoped.

The Instagram posts, via the account of his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, have just made a bad week worse.

It is unclear why Prince Andrew decided to record his reflections on his Falklands experience.

As a veteran he clearly has memories to share, but he isn't a working royal. He no longer has an official status within public life.

Nobody within the royal household speaks on his behalf and he has deleted all of his own social media accounts.

Crucially, he should no longer be using the HRH style alongside his name, as the Duchess of York initially did in the posts before swiftly removing it.

Whatever the intention, it all looked clumsy and ill-conceived.

Add to that Prince Andrew's role supporting his mother at Westminster Abbey last Tuesday during the Thanksgiving service for his father. He was at the event because it was deemed a "family occasion".

Andrew has always been regarded as her 'favorite'....I really saw this as the Queen wanting to let us all know that despite everything she still thinks the world of him. I dont think this decision was made by anyone else other than the Queen...because the shameful business is still too raw. I cannot believe any Advisor or even Charles and William would have even agreed to it.
Andrew, as we have seen is arrogant beyond comprehension. He probably believes he has been punished enough...the thought of lying low for another 10 years in light of what he did is just beyond him...
Why would anyone be interested in his personal experience in The Falklands after all these years :shrug:.....he is trying to use it as a way of winning back some sort of popularity...I cannot shake off the image of him coming back and leaving the Ship with a Rose between his teeth like he was Richard Gere in Officer and a Gentleman....God he loves himself.

No Harry, Meghan or Andrew on balcony at start of jubilee events


The Queen has decided that only working members of the Royal Family will join her on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Colour - meaning Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Meghan will not be alongside her for the Platinum Jubilee moment.

The confirmation from Buckingham Palace ends speculation about whether the public will see the Sussexes, who stepped away from royal duties in 2020, or the Duke of York, who was stripped of his royal patronages and military titles due to the sex abuse allegations against him, during the celebrations.

The balcony moment is normally a big family occasion and forms the centrepiece of Trooping the Colour, the military parade to mark the Queen's official birthday.

This year it will take place on 2 June and mark the official start to a weekend of Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Queen Elizabeth is the first British monarch to reign for 70 years.

A palace source did say that the Sussexes are "much-loved members of the family" and had been invited to other Jubilee events, as have the Yorks, including Prince Andrew.

[Cherie]

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will attend celebrations to mark his grandmother Queen Elizabeth’s 70 years on the throne in June, his spokesperson said on Friday.

“Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are excited and honoured to attend the queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

It will be the first time Harry and Meghan have brought their family to the UK since leaving for the US two years ago. The announcement came on the day their first child Archie celebrated his third birthday.

Daughter Lillibet was born on June 4, 2021 - and so will turn one when the family are in the UK for the celebrations being held over a four-day bank holiday weekend from Thursday, June 2 to Sunday, June 5.

Harry had said in a recent interview he did not know if he will return for the Platinum Jubilee, saying there are “security issues and everything else”.

Buckingham Palace said today that only royals carrying out official public duties will be on the balcony
Snub of Sussexes and the Duke of York came 'after careful consideration', press statement said this afternoon
There are exceptions, including Princess Anne's husband and some grandchildren and great-grandchildren

But despite the balcony snub, Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet will jet to the UK for some jubilee events
A spokesman said: 'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honoured to attend.. with their children'
Harry and Meghan's return to the UK risks becoming the 'focus' of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, royal experts warned tonight after the couple announced their comeback just minutes after it was revealed they were banned from the Buckingham Palace balcony.
A sensational statement at 3pm said the couple - as well as the Duke of York - would not be invited onto the balcony for Trooping the Colour, the spectacular start of her long weekend of celebrations.

Then just 18 minutes later, the defiant Sussexes finally revealed in a tweet via their friend and journalist Omid Scobie that they will still fly in from California - with Archie, three today, and Lilibet, 11 months - for the events to mark the monarch's 70 years on the throne that begin on June 2.
But there were warnings this evening that the couple's mere presence back in the UK threatens to overshadow the festivities.
Tom Bower told MailOnline: 'They have been forced to accept a downgraded role - grouped with all the other VIPs - but are clearly desperate not to be excluded. If the Palace is not remarkably careful, the Sussexes will milk the celebrations for their own benefit……
_________________________

The rebellious teenagers strike back - “we ARE coming, so THERE!”
Harry and Meghan will see it as essential that they attend in any capacity to keep up the hope of any success in the States even marginally alive - they must be seen to still have a civil connection to the most famous Royal family in the world.
Everything they have attempted on their own has had very limited success - or none at all - without the clout of the Royal machine. They are failing. They are coming back to that awful family they trashed and are ‘honoured’ to do so, practically cap in hand, to keep their 'Brand' (what IS their 'Brand' anyway)? trundling along. Pathetic grifters.
Here’s hoping the fear of being booed will change their minds. :hee:

Ah cool, booing at the queens jubilee to spite the black lady, got to love Britain

It's okay, the people will just be booing Harry, he's white; they will know you can never ever boo a black person. :omgno:

Yeah because the US is so moralistic, so together and a wonderful non toxic place to live.

I couldn't give a toss about any of it, but your argument is weak.

Im sure the migrants risking life and limb to get here wouldn't agree with you either.

if they brought Andrew back it would be the official end of the royal family, so i think it quite unlikely, but you never know

He wont be bought back into any role within the Royal Family...William and Charles know it would be too damaging. To be honest I dont think either of them have any time for Andrew anyway.

there is no getting away from it, he just looks unpleasant

[Gusto Brunt]

I've just be thinking about Andrew.

He's basically been stripped (something he's probably familiar with :hehe: ) of all the things he held dear to him, like the titles, properties, 'honour'. :p

So now he's basically a 'glorified' (and still rich) Universal Credit claimant :D :p

He would only do something like for ego because money is something he doesn't, and never will need.

But lets face it, no way will he appear on reality TV.

[rusticgal]

Yes he loved the power his title and role once bought...he always looked like an entitled arrogant prick and I believe thats exactly what he was.
He has lost his dignity and most of all respect...and I dare say he has lost all those who may have worshipped the ground he walked on.
