This is serious debates, Niamh. Please don't take the piss out of me becasuse you can.

Am I not allowed to think about anything on here from a legal perspective? Why not?

Sussex Royal is not a title. It's a brand.

Yes this is serious debates not court, if I want to give my opinion based on his interview, I am perfectly entitled to do that Livia.

I wonder why, what ever could it be?

He is still the Queen's Son, the Newspapers that are Royalists aren't gonna want to piss her off.

Andrew at harrys age was a major royal... he was in all the papers all the time, randy Andy they called him.

Its only since he got older and the company he kept changed the media lost focus on him ...for some reason.

Because Andrew isn’t a mixed race female from another country.

Yes you are. But you're not entitled to take the piss out of me.

I am not "your honour". Hilarious though it was.

Everyone uses their backgrounds and knowledge to come to an opinion, and that's fine. Unless it's me?

You can continue to make unfounded allegations about people with absolutely no knowledge of the truthfulness of it, if that's what you want to do in a serious debate. You're a mod. You can pretty much say what you like. But that doesn't give you permission to ridicule me. So I'd appreciate it if you knocked it off.

Yes, formed off the back of their titles/the fact they are royals.

They are no longer paid by the taxpayers to carry out "official" duties on behalf of the country. So they can really do as they please with their names, brands and status. That's theirs, he's still a Prince and they're still part of the Royal family. Not really a big deal. Charles sells overpriced horrible biscuits.

all 3 reasons in one sentence :hehe:

Are they though, imo her father is the one receiving most abuse and Andrew is still being pressed to and slated for not answering to the calls for him to spill.

They are not royal highnesses anymore, and I think it's highly dubious of them to claim they want to step away from the royal family, but keep their "royal brand". Just my opinion, Marshy. Like everything else I've said here.

You quoted me with a sarcastic comment, may I remind you. maybe don't dish out your patronizing comments if you don't like them back.

What a pointless comment to make during a debate.

Pointless in what sense?

I don't know why as an actress she can't design clothes, as singers Kanye and Beyonce do it, I suppose anyone can if they have an interest.
And they are royal, stands to reason they would use that label.

It’s my opinion. Practice what you preach, Livia.

Well, you had just made a ridiculous and unfounded claim.

But hey, take the piss, call me "your honour"... but you'll think I'm out of order when I start taking the piss out of your background and career. You're a mod, Niamh. Knock yourself out.

Your opinion is that the UK is racist and Meghan only had a rough time because she's black. I think that's and massive generalisation and completely unfounded.

I never said they were highnesses.

He is still a part of the Royal family, that will never change. So any Royal brand he creates is par for the course. He's still a Prince. :shrug: All he's done is stop taking the wage for the public duties.

Never suggested it wasn't your opinion. :suspect:

Where did I say that the UK is racist? Not every person in the UK dislikes Meghan.

No, I hadn't made any claim at all. I'd said "Are you surprised"

He's a Duke. And Marshy, if you want to dress top to toe in Sussex Royal branded stuff, I think you'd look amazing. Me, I won't be buying it.

Btw, they still are royal highnesses. The queen has not removed the title. They are not to use it but they still have it.

Andrew like many of the other royals has been an unpleasant arsehole for decades. People don't like him, they aren't interested in him. People did like Meghan until she started behaving like a spoilt brat, so they feel more disappointed in her.
