Prince Andrew 'berated a female gardener over wrongly-cut trees' days after being served Virginia Roberts sex assault writ
UK Daily Mail ^ | Jan 30 | By CHRIS MATTHEWS FOR MAILONLINE

Prince Andrew 'shouted at female gardener over wrongly-cut trees' just days after he was served with a sex case writ from Virginia Roberts.

Ms Roberts claims in a civil suit that she was trafficked by paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with Andrew, 61, on three occasions when she was 17.

The gardener in question was allegedly flustered and upset by the outburst from the Duke.

A royal insider said it was 'unfair', especially as it was 'only a few saplings'.

'Andrew is under a great deal of stress but it's no reason to take it out on staff doing their job,' the insider told The Sun.

The Prince allegedly flew into a rage, 'screaming and shouting' in front of a team of gardeners at Royal Lodge, on the Queen's estate at Windsor.

It comes as a leading expert has estimated Andrew faces a £14million ($19m) payout if he agrees to settle the US lawsuit.

It’s hard to believe that the late Prince Philip was Prince Andrew’s father. Is that correct?
I find it hard to imagine the famously blunt and taciturn Philip putting up with all the rude, snotty, self centered behavior that I’m hearing Andrew displayed throughout his life.

He fits the most extreme stereotype of a prince.
Having a maid run up four flights of steps so that she could close a curtain that Andrew could easily have closed himself without even leaving his chair is but one example.
That maid lost respect for Andrew after that, and now, years later, she doesn’t give a hoot who knows it.

**I have heard that American Rapper Kayne is somewhat like that too, expecting his Bodyguard to press the UP button on an elevator, something Kayne could have simply done himself.

Queen Elizabeth knew about all of this for years. She protected her son from being proven a sex criminal in public court. She used whatever levers of power she still has as monarch to cover for him and deny recognition to victims of sex trafficking. Whatever she did in life to preserve the western world, she did that too. That’s my takeaway.

That’s probably the best argument for dismantling the monarchy in Great Britain. Allow the Windsors keep one castle. They can turn that into a business sort of like what the Vanderbilts have done with the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC.

Are you a Brit?

If you’re an American, I don’t think it’s any of your business.

I never believe stories like this, especially when they’re in the Daily Mail and full of hyperbolic statements. There’s always 2 sides to every story.

TTIWWOP.
I've seen some tree pruning jobs that qualified as war crimes. How is anyone supposed to make a judgment without seeing the saplings/trees?
This is a lynch mob, nothing more, nothing less.

Seriously who cares if some guy yelled at his gardener!? We’re all equal, right? Do your job!

Who wrote that? Isn’t that some kind of trope or something?

Well, doesn't everyone being served with sex-crimes writs routinely berate their female gardeners for chopping down the wrong saplings?

I've heard that it's a great way to relieve tension and deal with frustration.

First off the Royal pervert use to be called Randy Andy.

Now, in respect for the Queen, we should go easy on Prince Andrew. He has had a very bad century. I mean his buddy Epstein was “off’s” or I mean committed suicide. His affair partner Maxwell is now facing serious prison time.

I fully expect that Randy Andy's brother wold like to place a revolver with one bullet in front of him and in the best classic English detective novel tell him to “do the right thing.”

He has become such a pathetic slob that even his ex-wife is taking pity on him. I mean she put up with a lot for her children, even after she had to divorce him, but now she is really getting serious about protecting the father of her children.

I wonder if he pleads guilty he can get house arrest at a royal palace with no visitors?

I’m old enough to remember when he was dating a porn star named Koo Stark.

Speaking of Andrew...

Anyone remember a pic of Andrew from the 1970s in People magazine. Think he was visiting the US or Canada, and that what the story was about.

There was a pic of him, IIRC, wearing a Confederate kepi. But I’ve never seen that pic again.

Just curious.

I wonder if Andrew ever muses about the amount of other people’s spit, phlegm and other interesting substances he has consumed throughout his adult life. With his boorish reputation, I would imagine he has consumed quite a bit.
