Thanks!
I am no true king.
You do the math. ;)
Right. You're a potato.
A huge piece of shit in almost every respect, but the character had his moments of poignancy.
a POS, but a good politician and he had his principles. not many lanisters could claim that much...

His staff are on record as saying they call him "the cunt" when he's not around. I forget which interview that was but it was a former staff member on a TV interview.
Seen it, I think it was an interview with one of the security staff
"Yes, sir. Flagon of ale for the child rapist, sir. And absolutely nobody has done anything untoward in it, sir".
Why does this fucker get royal staff?
He's still uber rich. Between being mummy's favourite and being the literal shaddy deal's man for the British government for a while, he probably has more money than he would be able to spend.
Here is your beer “Sir” …
I think we really should stick to calling him “Prince Andrew.” If we don’t we’re letting the monarchy separate itself from him…but that’s bullshit; he has the privilege of being a prince and his status as prince is not just what gave him the liberty to be a monster, but I think we can assume it’s what actually made him a monster.
The Andrew formerly known as a prince.
I heard a very interesting argument that if the Royal family can remove Andrew from the line of succession, then the line itself can be manipulated, and anyone else could be added. In that case, what is the point of having a royal family?
I’m not sure what the point is in any case. Whatever about how the monarch is chosen…having a monarch is bad! And this monarchy is particularly bad!

Eh… I have mixed feelings on that.
Firstly, I don’t think his position made him a monster. I absolutely think it made it easier to become one, but there are plenty of opportunistic pedophiles who aren’t princes. In fact I don’t think it’s a far stretch to say the vast majority aren’t princes
Secondly, correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t the majority of his privilege been stripped from him? Yeah, he can still visit royal places and such, but doesn’t he have about the same “power” as an in law or something?
There’s also the question of if the monarchy enabled his actions. Though, again I admit they may not have done enough after learning of his actions.
As a Canadian who never really paid attention to British royalty, this feels a lot like blaming a family for one member committing a mass murder. But that could just be a lack of understanding on my part.

I'd literally tell him to "fuck off I'll call you Nonce Andrew, and if you threaten me I'll go to the press and tell them even more shit that will get you in prison, you fucking nonce. Now get on your knees and apologise. And then I'd film it, and send it to the press"
Good luck having rights while working for any of the royals

It stands for "Sweat Isn't Real"
What a bizarre claim to make, that he can't sweat was it? Obviously not true, he was in the military I think, even as a helicopter pilot he wouldn't be able to serve if he couldn't sweat. You wouldn't be able to live without sweating first time you get some exercize you would get brain damage, or first trip to the subtropics, from the heat. Your balls would get fried too.
Guy obviously can sweat if he couldn't he would be like a bubble boy.
The helicopter pilot was his nephew, Harry. I believe Andrew served in the Navy during the Falklands war.
Ah thanks I always avoided learning anything about the royal family but someone recently said he was also a helicopter pilot in the falklands, I remember Harry in afghanistan because of those comments he made that got leaked using a slur and whatever else.
Any which way, you can't serve in the armed forces in about any capacity if you can't sweat. They won't event take flat feet.
It's just such an outlandish lie, like that is the best he could come up with? And it doesn't absolve him either if I recall.
The interview where he made those claims backfired so spectacularly for him, it's worth a watch. I think I'm going to watch it again tonight.

The really incredible thing is that he thought everyone was dumb enough to fall for all the bullshit in that interview. "I have a tendency to be too honourable." FFS.

My first impulse was to comment this :
But then...
No matter what they are forced to call you, you'll always see the contempt in their eyes; not one person smiling to see you walk into the room, ever.
You're just a Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to me.
Wait until they downgrade him from Mountbatten to just Hill

Sir Pedophile
People are very negative but they don't understand the house of windsor and how tradional it is. What else is traditional. The stockades.
I think it's particularly hilarious that for all the talk of tradition, the house of "Windsor" was a name chosen during WWI, barely more than a century ago. The original name was "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha", but somewhat awkwardly German bombers built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik and popularly known as "Gothas" happened to be dropping explosives on London.

lol ok sure, Andrew formerly known as Prince
The thing about "prince" is that it's halfway to "nonce"
Where is he interacting with royal staff these days?
The pedophile traitor deserves a single finger salute and tell him to fetch his own beer.
Should be calling him by a number
This Saxon Royalist shit heap deserves to be buried in an unmarked grave. Ideally without building a parking lot over his insipid pedophilic corpse so as to deny him even identification after centuries of disgraced death.

They can't call him sir, that's an honorific in England that has meaning and he lost all formal titles, legally he isn't a sir anymore he's a Mr.

No son of royalty or riches is a real boy!
Mainstream or street.
Fuck you Andy
The only good royal is dead royal.
Being a monarch or nobility of any kind is a crime against humanity. And yes, this applies to all, no exceptions. I don't care how "constitutional" a monarch is. No one should have inheritable legal status or power. Inherited wealth is bad enough. Every king or noble should have to give up their title or give up their head.
