The government is "working to remove" Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's last honorary military title at the King’s request, the defence secretary has said. John Healey said King Charles had "indicated that's what he wishes".

Andrew, who was stripped of his title as a prince on Thursday, retained his rank as a Vice Admiral in the Royal Navy after giving up his other military positions in 2022.

I don’t know what the age limits are for the British military. But perhaps Andrew could reenlist, and start all over again.

Anyway, this seems like a lot of fuss for something Andrew (and some others) claim never happened.

[Red Badger]

They didn’t call him “Randy Prince Andy” in his younger days for nothing...................

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yes Andrew must be stripped of his titles, what a threat to the country he is as England continues to allow Islamo Nazis to flood in.

And by God, don’t question Sharia law or wear the star of David lest you too be arrested

“Vice Admiral in the Royal Navy” when I see a title like that, I think of those big Napoleon style hats with a big yellow feather.

[BradyLS]

Everyone involved is in tight-lipped denial about it, that’s for sure.

[Leaning Right]

You make a good point. It’s generally agreed that Andrew is trash. King Charles made the right move here.

But there is a far greater threat to the UK. And that’s Muslim immigration. They come to conquer. And in this the king is silent.

When the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia, they executed every royal they could get their hands on. Does Charles think it will be different with the Muslims in the UK?

retained his rank as a Vice Admiral
= = =

They could just strip him of the ‘Admiral’ part.

[Waverunner]

“Vice” Admiral, well it appears he was very serious about the vice part. Let’s face it, if your a pilot and a prince your going to end up in some sketchy situations. Just say No.

[Flaming Conservative]

From what I’ve read over the years, King Charles is a big fan of Saudi Arabia, among other muslim countries.

The government is "working to remove" Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's last honorary military title

Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert was Prince of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. His family house was Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. That was Anglicized to Windsor, the name of the British castle for its monarchs in 1917 during WWI to avoid emphasis on the royal family's German origins. Mountbatten was Anglicized from Battenburg, Prince Phillip's adopted family name, although he was in fact of the House of Glücksburg, or more formally, The House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. Queen Elizabeth II decreed that those of her descendants who were prince and unmarried princesses should have the surname Windsor, and those without the title prince and married princesses should have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor. So once Andrew lost the title prince, he became a Mountbatten-Windsor.

So Randy Andy is actually a Glücksburg, not a Mountbatten-Windsor. He should reclaim the Glücksburg name for himself, move to Germany where the age of consent is just 16, and no one would much care about his sexual habits. The Germans will love him.

The Brits and their “Medieval Make Believe’’ of kings and queens.

Someone needs to tell these inbred gits this is the 21st. century not the 10th.

He made a big mistake with a chick that was 17+ in that photo. But it’s a little rich that King Charles is stripping him of a military title when Charles was super close to the lifelong pedophile homosexual and reputed child murderer Jimmy Saville.

And whatever else Andrew did, when Argentina was shooting missiles at his ship, he hovered his helicopter above it as an Exocet decoy. That kind of thing screws with you.

Not to mention the rest of that filthy family. Their aunt was riding the penis-carousel all across Europe and never lost her title. Charles was cheating with Camila on Diana also.

Not saying Andy wasn’t outta line, but the moralizing by Charles is insufferable.

[DesertRhino]

“You make a good point. It’s generally agreed that Andrew is trash. King Charles made the right move here.”

He was also a war hero, and interacted with an almost legal Guiffre. Anything you can say about Andrew, you can say in spades about Charles. Charles doesn’t deserve credit, he deserves any contempt Andrew does, plus an additional measure of scorn as a hypocrite.

[Chickensoup]

With every title that he loses he loses income.

I imagine that income reverts back to Charles

[Leaning Right]

I’m no fan of royalty. But I did admire Queen Elizabeth. She was a classy lady, lost in the past.

William seems okay. I have no use for the rest of them. King Charles in particular is doing absolutely nothing as his country is overrun by Islamists.

Would a King William do any better? I doubt it. Only a military coup can save Britain now. And that ain’t gonna happen.

She was 17 and was trafficked, which is a violation of the UN Treaty on Human Trafficking. The US and UK signed the treaty so it overrules the national laws of either country.

Trafficking is defined as moving a person of any age across international boundaries for illicit purposes., ie sex.
Age of majority is 18.
A minor cannot legally agree to transportation or sexual activity and there does not need to be coercion. Age alone makes moving and sexual activity with a minor illegal. Over 18 must show coercion.

Didn’t Andrew serve in combat flying operations in the Falklands War? Why erase that?

I always had my suspicions about this one. She seemed fairly eager for quite a long time, until she wasn't. DesertRhino has a point about her and Andrew.

There is a woman on X who said she made "millions" selling her body from AGE 14 around the world, and makes fun of women who work "demeaning" jobs in Starbucks or Chipotle. This even though she described humiliating treatment from Arabs in Dubai. She said it was all worth it because she is rich (she is now 22). Do not assume every girl who does this has no agency.

[Leaning Right]

> Didn’t Andrew serve in combat flying operations in the Falklands War? <

That he did. I suppose it’s something like how Benedict Arnold is treated by United States. There is actually a memorial to Arnold at the Saratoga battlefield, where he performed bravely.

But his name is not on it.
