[Prince Andrew 'was paid £750,000
by Turkish millionairess for assistance with
her passport but then repaid the cash
after she said she had been hoodwinked
by crooked middleman', High Court hears

Nebahat Isbilen, 77, claims to have been scammed out
of fortune by Turkish businessman Selman Turk
Alleged she was tricked into giving Duke of York money
'by way of payment for assistance' with her passport
High Court was told the prince has since
repaid the cash after the millionairess
alleged it was a scam
Both he and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson were named
as having received 'substantial sums' but there
is no suggestion of wrongdoing on their part
It comes just one month after Andrew settled
a civil sex assault case with Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre

Senior royals are concerned Andrew is looking
to strong-arm his way into appearance
at Jubilee celebrations
Princes Charles and William were said
to be 'dismayed' the disgraced duke walked
the Queen into Westminster Abbey for
Prince Philip's memorial service]

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".

He signed off his post HRH The Duke of York before it was deleted

It seems like the statement was Andrew trying to excuse his behaviour based on the fact he was traumatised when he fought in the Falklands. The arrogant twit still using his title 'because he can' in unofficial communication.
As for his attendance at Phillips memorial service...well of course he is entitled to be there but his role walking the Queen to her seat was poor judgement and imo a huge mistake.

I wonder about that, the Palace said the Queen okayed it, but did she really, she is 95 and I wonder if he manipulated her to get himself back in the limelight

He really just needs to piss off now. Needs to realise how unbelievably lucky he's been and just keep his mouth shut.

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 .....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.

So who do you think Arista made that decision to allow him to walk her to her seat with the world watching....because it was a bold statement. I dont think it would have been anyone other than the Queen...and whats more I think the Queen is very poorly and if she doesn't do it now there will not be another opportunity.

Yeah, they want Parliament to pass legislation to strip him of the Duke title as even the Queen can't do that without a new law to do so
