Questions of Prince Andrew’s billionaire lifestyle arise amid his public retreat
NY Post ^ | November 202019 | Ebony Bowden

Embattled royal Prince Andrew announced Wednesday he was stepping back from public duties “for the foreseeable future” in the wake of a “car crash” of an interview about his longtime friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family’s work and the valuable work going on in many organizations and charities that I am proud to support,” Andrew said in a statement released by Buckingham Palace.

Facing a wave of criticism, the Duke of York announced he had sought permission from the Queen to “step back from public duties for the foreseeable future,” and went on to apologize to Epstein’s victims.

He didn’t seek permission to step away......he got called in by the Queen and told to step down. European news are not color coating the story.....

Andrew needs to move to Siberia and chill for a couple of years. Off everyone’s radar.

Actually, I don’t think anyone gives a hoot what he does just so he doesn’t do it in the news.

Ta ta, Andy.

It could, potentially, interfere with centuries of tax free lifestyle they have enjoyed.

"questions also rose about how the royal mantained a billionaire Lothario lifestyle on his $321,000 annual allowance...Andrew splurged on a $16 million chalet"

What a despicable creature and he’s been getting away with this stuff for decades right under the noses of the Brits.

I find his brother to be just as toxic for different reasons. His insane preoccupation with the global warming fraud has probably done more damage than this guy.

Then you have the ginger prince and his bizarre obsession with Obama.

I can’t imagine having been around as long as the Queen and putting up with the crap this family has put her through.

Yep, he got the royal boot 🥾 in the rear. He no more asked permission, than the man in the moon.

They Royals aren’t tax-exempt. Even the Queen has been subjected to income and capital gains tax since 1992.

I wonder if Andy had these perversions when he was married to Fergie and, if so, whether she was aware of it. Creepy guy. His poor daughters.

Andrew’s moniker has been “Randy Andy” for as long as I can remember. His problems didn’t start with Epstein.

I’m a huge fan of the Queen but maybe she should have stayed home with the kids more. She’s paying the price of being a good Queen!

Well he didn’t get the nickname “Randy Andy” for no reason.

I read that Fergie advised him to do the interview. If that is true and he listened to her, he is as dumb as a post!

IIRC, he was having flings while he was married to Fergie. Of course, age was never mentioned. The daughters were only about 6 and 8 when they divorced. In recent days, he said he couldn’t have had sex with Epstein’s girl because he was out getting pizza with Beatrice. Strange how pizza always comes up in these sex with minors stories.

Talk about creepy, he invited Epstein to Beatrice’s 18th birthday.

Creepy Prince may have a lot more in common with Uncle Creepy and son than we thought. Handsy pervs, extra marital affairs and boat loads of money from interesting sources.

I don’t care about Andrew; I want to know how long is Billy Boy going to be given a free pass?
