Good. The man's an arrogant ass who refuses to see any wrong in anything he's done.


'It comes amid ongoing familial tensions between both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry'

I wasn't aware of any specific tensions between those two. Wonder what they mean by that.

I think that's just a badly written sentence, I don't think there's any conflict between Harry and Andrew. I've even heard that Andrew's daughters are the only members of the royal family who are even slightly friendly with Harry.

I think the writer meant to say that both Harry and Andrew are at odds with Charles and William, which is true. I mean we all know Harry was unhappy with royal life and left of his own free will, etc. But rumor has it that Charles hates Andrew like poison, I mean really loathes him! Charles has let everyone know that Andrew is on his shit list for life, and Andrew will never be allowed to represent royal interests as long as he is alive, and William won't change that when his turn comes. Plus, Will and Kate allegedly want to take over Andrew's posh semi-palace on the grounds of Windsor Castle, but Andrew has a lifetime lease...

Yes, perhaps it is just badly written. Years ago I did some work for the Metropolitan Police. I met several officers who worked on Andrew's protection team. To a man (they were all male) they detested him. Protection officers usually manage to establish a good working relationship with whichever Royal they're assigned to, but they universally loathed him.

Andrew seems to be universally despised, a dreadful human being by all accounts, and now that their mother is gone Charles is DONE with him.

The only thing I'm curious about, is whether Charles will ever let Andrew be prosecuted for anything. There have been years of rumors about shady deals and international money laundering, as well as Epstein-related stuff that was hushed up.

He was known to be his mother's favourite and by all accounts he played on that to the full. It certainly will be interesting to see just how much shielding he gets now that Charles is in the chair. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already put him on notice.

Charles had to wait about 70 years to put his rotten brother in his place, so I hope he's enjoying it now! But the Palace may continue to shield that rat bastard from prosecution, if it's deserved, because Charles or the Palace may believe it's in the best in interests of the Monarchy to keep Andrew out of court and/or jail.

And that's one thing Harry ever got, and that was made clear in his stupid book, that Harry didn't understand the first thing about the Palace. And the first thing is that the press office and the gray men weren't there to make the monarch happy, or to make any royal family member happy, they're there to protect the interests of the *Monarchy*, to preserve the institution. And the interests of the monarchy were not served by hushing up Harry's drug use.
