Several U.K. cities balked at flying the Union Jack for the disgraced Prince Andrew’s birthday after receiving an email reminder from the prime minister’s office...Boris Johnson’s government is now reconsidering the honor.
Traditionally, town halls fly the British flag to celebrate royal birthdays, but many responded to the reminder email with indignation.
“We’re not flying the flag,” a Liverpool Council spokesperson told CNN. The city’s mayor, Joe Anderson, added that it “wouldn’t be appropriate” to mark Andrew’s 60th birthday on Feb. 19.
The original email was standard operating procedure, but now the prime minister’s office is “considering how the policy applies in changing circumstances,” a spokesperson told the AP.
Prince Andrew stepped back from his royal duties in November. He has been criticized for his relationship with notorious sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, and in 2015, Virginia Roberts testified that she’d been forced to have sex with the prince in 2001 and 2002, when she was 17. Prince Andrew has denied the allegations.

I wonder what else is being kept under wraps though.
That’s a rough 60.....
For whom the bell tolls....
That should have been predicted. Everyone knows about what happened with Andrew and Epstein. If Harry & Meg attend some ceremonial mass in March as the Queen has requested, my guess is you will hear audible BOO-ING by much of the public. Meg has already openly rejected the British and their traditions. All she wants is the money.
Paybacks are hell. The monarchy never should have picked Chas over Diana. Harry is po’ed.
This is to punish him for rejecting royalty. There is one other ideology that punishes its members for leaving. It can’t be very good if they have to force you to stay.
