I didn't really hear or see much about him being a working royal in the US but he was always in the forefront during ceremonies.

I love Anne. She's relatable as a firey Texan woman. I see little difference between her and a proper southern bell. They don't come off feeling like they come from a place of classism, but rather that that person simply has class. Big difference.

When I was about 13 the whole school practically had to go out and stand on the school field and watch Andrew’s helicopter land (he was heading to some factory nearby for a tour or whatever it is they do when “Royals” visit).

We were all told to be on our best behaviour but loads of kids started flagging the helicopter and heckling him. Headteacher nearly had a coronary. We all collectively got in huge trouble after but, knowing what we know now.. good..

Dear me....is there any end to what these people are prepared to do

It really is striking how the palace refers to him as “Mr Mountbatten‑Windsor” in official statements. You forget sometimes that the King and Prince William are his own brother and nephew, because the tone of those releases is so cold. But then again, he’s been denying and deflecting for years, so it’s not surprising that the language has become formal and distant.

And honestly, the whole situation just highlights what a pair of grifters he and Fergie turned out to be.

they have been grifters now for a very long time. I believe that is why the public turned on them originally. People who have every privilege in the world, out to scam all they can get

William was right to be angry. Andrew could have brought down the monarchy and Harry isn't much better

…I feel for Eugenie and Beatrice and how they’re so caught up in the middle of this ‘disgrace divide’ between their parents and more extended family…none of any of it has been through their choice, has it and the view of their parents that the public has …and the law has, isn’t what they feel, I would imagine…their mental health must be so shaken right now also…

I can’t see him facing a criminal prosecution because he wouldn’t get a fair trial because everyone and their dog knows of the case

Sir Keir Starmer has said "nobody is above the law" when asked about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, but declined to say whether the former prince should volunteer himself to UK police.

The prime minister told BBC Breakfast the principle was "very important" and "has to apply in this case in the same way it would in any other case".

We all know what Starmer is saying is completely untrue and always has been. Andrew wont end up in court. Illegal immigrants get preferential legal treatment compared to UK citizens. He is a disgrace

[Ammi]

…of course he’s above the law, hence the situation as it is today…silly Starmer, he’s worked in the law long enough to know that those are just empty words or as Trump would say…Fake News, dear…!!!!…

I bet he's sweating now.

To be held at his brothers pleasure.

So happy he has been arrested! They need to arrest everyone who stepped foot in that island.

Has Mandelson been arrested too? Or is he just going to slime away when he's got questions to answer on the very same charge.
