Last night, HM The King announced that his brother, until recently HRH The Duke of York KG KCVO, will now be formally stripped of all his titles, styles and dignities and will be reduced to trying to book fashionable London restaurants - or even Pizza Express in Woking - as plain old Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. As longtime readers may recall, I dined at Buckingham Palace, midst princes, dukes, earls, viscounts and knights, as the only mister at the table and rather enjoyed it - although, even at that lowly rank, the sense of remorseless imperial decline down the decades is palpable: from Mr Gladstone... to Mr Steyn... to Mr Mountbatten Windsor... Why not go all the way and order His former Royal Highness to wander the streets as Mr Sarah Ferguson?
Be that as it may, it was the final sentence in the Palace's 109-word statement that caught my eye:
Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.
Had the King said that to me in person, I would have had great difficulty in restraining myself from punching him on the nose. Their Majesties have never expressed any "utmost sympathies" for the thousands upon thousands of their own young subjects in virtually every town up and down what passes for the spine of England gang-raped, sodomised, urinated on, dangled off balconies, doused in petrol, burned alive, fed into kebab mincers, etc. A decade ago, when I first met "grooming gang" victims in Rotherham, one of Sammy Woodhouse's chums told me that "Charles and Camilla" were said to have expressed interest in meeting with survivors - although Sammy herself, ground down by official dissembling even then, expressed some cynicism...

CERTAINLY IS
BTTT
pretty severe penalty for something they say didn’t happen

Why did Mr. Windsor bothered to go to America and hook up with Mr. Epstein?
If he stayed home and went to Rotherham instead, he would be still HM Prince Andrew.
I believe Andrew paid 12M pounds to a woman he says he never met. Odd.
very odd- she musta had some kind of mind control over him or sumthin
> pretty severe penalty for something they say didn’t happen <
Excellent point.
That's what Ash, the crypto-android in Alien said, just before he was finished off by Parker.
😜
We now have our next contestant for The Golden Bachelor!............
Steyn nails it again.
Looks like a Half-Windsor knot in his tie!
Just damn.
Mark Steyn was my favorite sub when the Great Rush was away. As for this...Andrew has my symphony.
So is he going to come up with a symbol?
One thing never to be overlooked: The "utmost sympathies" of the Windsors is maintaining bum-throne contact.
At this, they are extremely adept.
