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.

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.

[–] CreativeCider@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

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".

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why does this fucker get royal staff?

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 36 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago

Here is your beer “Sir” …

[–] brynden_rivers_esq@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 week ago (30 children)

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.

[–] OCATMBBL@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

The Andrew formerly known as a prince.

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"

It stands for "Sweat Isn't Real"

[–] hector@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The helicopter pilot was his nephew, Harry. I believe Andrew served in the Navy during the Falklands war.

My first impulse was to comment this :

But then...

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

You're just a Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to me.

[–] csolisr@hub.azkware.net 13 points 1 week ago

Wait until they downgrade him from Mountbatten to just Hill

People are very negative but they don't understand the house of windsor and how tradional it is. What else is traditional. The stockades.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

Where is he interacting with royal staff these days?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

The pedophile traitor deserves a single finger salute and tell him to fetch his own beer.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago

Should be calling him by a number

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.
