London (CNN)Prince Andrew said in a statement Wednesday that he would step back from public duties "for the foreseeable future" following a firestorm of criticism over an interview with the BBC about his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Well, at least Andrew’s youngest daughter, Eugenie, got a nice wedding. His older daughter, Beatrice, who is recently engaged, will most likely get a more modest wedding. I have always admired the Queen and hate to see her suffer these indignities at this point in her rock solid reign and which jeopardize the very monarchy’s continuance.
If HRH was truly serious about this, she’d cut off Andrew’s royal allowance. And that brings us to this rather timely read, from the UK Express. Andy receives an annual “allowance” of $249,000 pounds, or roughly $320,000 a year. But he maintains a lavish lifestyle, and the British press is raising questions about how he affords it:

I’m guessing the late Jeffrey Epstein had some rather pertinent information along those lines.
Aw, that’s too bad. I was looking forward to a clarification interview, and then an interview clarifying the clarification interview. “Those responsible for sacking those responsible have been sacked,” that sort of thing. I’ve been wondering how it is that a guy who doesn’t perspire can sweat so much...
Ironic that the interview was with the BBC, who covered up for Jimmy Saville for all those years.
Interesting.
Notwithstanding recent news and such: I’ve met him many times, most times in the members pub in my club. Always respectful, great sense of humor. Nice guy. I like him. Never would have imagined. . .(still not convinced the photo is not photo-shopped. . .his left arm around her looks out of place and unnaturally long)
Charles is another thing completely. . .a physical anomaly. . .two ears held apart by a vacuum.
Busy, just not a media interest, usually.
Post 25, please.
Not a media interest (til now).
Post 25.
I just finished Season 3 of Crown. The Queen says “she knows there is something wrong with her that she can’t cry”. She didn’t even cry at Aberfan. She was a cold, indifferent, no humor Mum to her 4 kids. I think Charles took the brunt of it mostly. He never measured up in Philip’s eyes as a “man’s man”.
He should be tried and executed.
Piece of excrement.
Yep. The Clintons will be targeting Andy. They can’t count on him keeping quiet.
The law of succession is fixe3d by law and Anne will NEVER be Queen; it's IMPOSSIBLE!
By codified law, many 100s off years old, the law of PRIMOGENITURE, until only a few years ago ( and the new change only starts with the children of Wills & Kate and does NOT cover anyone in previous generations! ), clearly states that the FIRST MAKE CHILD AND HIS MALE HEIRS MAY INHERIT THE THRONE. SHOULD THEIR ONLY BE FEMALE PROGENY ( Queen Mary I was the first legit female heir to take the throne, followed by Queen Elizabeth I and then there wasn't another female heir until Mary II, followed by her sister Anne and then not another until Queen Victoria, and now, Queen Elizabeth II ! ); however, now, the second child of prince William, Princess Charlotte, is the 4th in line to the throne, should something happen to her elder brother, Prince George and he should die without progeny.
No Brit King or Queen has the "right" to leapfrog one child over another and NEVER has had that ability; not even when they had complete power!
I bet that you don't even know the simplest facts ab out ANY of them. ;^)
Obviously you know almost nothing at all about any of them.
And you need to get your mind out of the gutter.
Bea was getting a much MORE “modest wedding”, at HER request, long before this all really hit the fan. Her fiance has a tad of a dodgy past.
Well something is/has messed up the European royals something fierce.
Perverts abound there.
According to Lady Colin Campbell if you give the 14yr olds money after you boink them that makes the 14yr olds common prostitutes and therefore you weren’t breaking the law.
or something.
Something bad in the water in the country piles over there. Maybe too many lead pipes, like old Rome.
>Don’t post about things you neither understand, nor know anything at all about!
Rolleyes...here we go.
>The law of succession is fixe3d by law and Anne will NEVER be Queen; it’s IMPOSSIBLE!
Dude....I know this. That is why people use phrases like “She may as well”.
Andrew NEVER "boinked" nor paid for a 14 year old, that anyone knows of.
The girl accusing Andrew ( and I have doubts about her truthfulness ), was, by her own words...paid $15,000 for a one off with Randy Andy and was of LEGAL age ( 17 ) at the time of the supposed event.
Just like ALL families...royals and non-royals alike, there have been crazies, good, bad, middling, and everything else in ALL European and Brit Royal families!
At one time ( and until very recently ) all Royals intermarried; however, though some cousins were closer than others, whom intermarried, many were quite separated from each other and well beyond even 3rd cousins.
It was Victoria, who had a ton of children, who married most of her kids off far and wide, which is WHY she was known as "THE GRANDMOTHER OF EUROPE"!
Is sexual perversion inheritable? I doubt it. It's NOT like hemophilia or IQ.
King George V and Czar Nicholas looked so much alike, they could have been twins! The family resemblance comes from their maternal sides; IIRC. But whilst King George V was intelligent, Nicholas was not.
