    I can’t stand this guy and have never felt any differently, not even when I was a child and he was still basking in Falklands glory. It’s ironic that he can’t sweat because it grossed me out that he always looked moist.

    Anyway, while I certainly don’t think he should be living in luxury, the sibling power differential seems wrong. Andrew is a creep and should be living in a dingy, mouldy flat, but at the same time, good on him for standing up to Charles. It’s not like Charles is broke (especially when he has been collecting estates from people who die without leaving a will in the Duchy of Lancaster).

    It’s such a messed up system that two siblings can be raised in a palace with strong expectations/rules about what they can do, and then one of them gradually ends up without a job or status as the other one has kids.

    This is quite an interesting conundrum for the royals. If they remove levels of funding for the less senior ones, especially those previously used to it, those royals will expectedly seek income elsewhere.

    Which might not look great and worsen the brand for the royal family if they end up in crap endorsements or even worse if they get into dodgy deals.

    It’s all just hot air from the Royals drip feeding these to the press. If they were going to do anything they would have removed the nonce back when they paid off the women he wronged.

    By drip feeding this nonsense to the press the Royals are doing what they always do and control the narrative. Old Doris and her mates will read this and think “Poor Charles, such a conundrum”

    My concern is letting him loose in the wild. Locked away in the most expensive council house in the uk, he’s sort of out of sight and out of mind.

    Throw him out, and we will be seeing him back with his central Asian friends or at the personal invite of putin. He is an entitled moron who has no morals and has a lifetime of bad decisions.

  5. Another person wrongfully condemned without a trial by the public. Disgusting what the media can do. Long live the King.

  6. Bottom line Charles has done f all about the situation . Great press release that he wants him out tho.
