Poor baby - run home to mummy!

MawBe

OP I think your post is childish and OTT.
I have no affection or indeed respect for Prince Andrew, but to spend time at Balmoral with the Queen is hardly “running home to mummy”
The rest of your post is simply offensive and equally unworthy of comment

And yet you DID comment!!

I'm sorry, everyone, but I think you've all been rather harsh on 'Newatthis'.
It was their attempt at starting a chat ad, rightly or wrongly, they chose wimpy Andrew!!
Maybe he should take a few leaves out of Edwards book and step back into private life, only showing his face when needed, if ever needed!!
He's a disgrace to our Royal Family!!!

I thought he had stepped back into a private life, joining his family in Balmoral isn’t a public event

My thoughts too Annie.

And mine.

And mine.

My thoughts are that , if this were Joe Bloggs from Sink Estate, you would all be saying that - even if you believed the allegations to be false - he should stand up in court and defend himself.

What possible relevance does that post have to the comments that PA has stepped back from royal duties and leads a private life, or that the trip to Balmoral isn’t a public event?

Well that's alright then. Be associated with a known paedophile and child trafficker, be accused of sex with an underage girl who has been trafficked then step back into private life. As long as you don't make any public appearances everything is tickety-boo

A naive one.

It has as much relevance as posting a comment on the quality of Guiffre's language.

But please feel free to come back on the actual content of my post.

I have said nothing about whether PA should ‘stand up in court and defend himself’ so kindly don’t address that to me. I am not ‘you all’. Find someone who has said that - I don’t think you will.

trisher no-one has said anything is ‘tickety-boo’. Ali said PA should step back into private life and she was told he already had. What’s contentious about that?

So to be clear - do you think he should stand up in court?

Has he been summoned to attend court ?

Exactly Annie. PA hasn't been charged. The American authorities aren't seeking extradition and being thwarted by the Queen, who is hiding her son away and insisting 'my baby stays with his mummy'.

If he's asked too he'll 'have to stand up in court', but he hasn't been asked too yet and let's face it, if he were "Jo Bloggs from Sink Estate" Petera we probably wouldn't know about it until he'd been charged, and I doubt there'd be any discussion about it here on GN, on a thread entitled "Poor baby - run home to mummy".

Has he been summoned to attend court ?

Sigh. No, but if he is then should he?

In order to stand up in court, Prince Andrew would first need to be charged. I don’t think he’s been charged with anything yet. I think he’s been sued for damages, please correct me if I’m wrong, and this action will take place in New York.
I’m not defending Prince Andrew, but simply saying he can’t stand up in court unless he’s been charged.

He wouldn't have to be charged he could be called as a witness.

A witness to whose trial ?

My homes aren’t grand, says Prince Charles. The heir to the throne discusses his love of the simple life, planting trees with his grandchildren, birds, poetry, childhood memories of gardening, and how the poet Ted Hughes taught him to remember plant names.

Birkhall, 53,000 acres of “not grand”. The man is completely unhinged.

Man detached from reality claims mansions aren’t grand. The environmental hypocrite runs these houses 24/7, each one requiring constant security, heating, lighting and staffing.

Not to mention the helicopter flights between them. That’s a huge carbon footprint for one man.

Four-home Prince Charles insists mansions 'are not grand' as he talks from 192-acre estate Charles has four main homes and the use of other royal residences including Sandringham but he has insisted he enjoys the simple life.

In a discussion to be aired on BBC Radio 4 tonight, the heir to the throne, who has a £20 million a year income from the Duchy of Cornwall, enthuses about his love of the countryside and maintains that none of his homes is palatial or grand.

Charles, 72, was interviewed by the Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, for the last in the current series of his show The Poet Laureate Has Gone to His Shed, in which he invites guests to join him in the shed where he writes to talk about poetry, creativity, music, art, and the countryside.

Flattered by the invitation, Charles invited Armitage, 58, to come and talk to him instead in his own version of a shed - a barn at Llwynywermod, a former three-bedroom farmhouse on a 192-acre estate in Carmarthenshire which the Duchy of Cornwall bought in 2006 and converted into a Welsh residence for the Prince of Wales and Camilla.

It is undoubtely smaller than Charles’s other homes: Clarence House, a four-storey Grade I-listed 19th century royal residence in London, his Gloucestershire country retreat Highgrove House, and Birkhall, his 14-bedroom Jacobean hunting lodge on the Balmoral estate in the Highlands. He also owns a guest house in Romania.

Asked if he relished going to Llwynywermod to enjoy the simple life, the Prince said: “Yes but the houses that I am in are not grand or palatial really at the moment.

#abolishthemonarchy

For heaven’s sake, do you expect him to live in a semi on a rough estate?

Do you really think that he makes use of every single room in his mansions Grany and how do you know they're palatial?
I was underwhelmed when I went to Buck House, it wasn't
anything like as palatial as I was expecting, looked rather tired and a bit grubby to me.

Just because by virtue of his birth and as the future king these properties are at his disposal, doesn't mean when he says he prefers a simpler life, that he's lying.

Anniebach

*Germansheperdsmum*. You misunderstood my post .

I was referring to the posts which keep bringing the wealth of
the RF into discussions.

That shot straight over a few heads Anniebach! Shows how easily misunderstandings can occur when emotions run high.

Perhaps if the Socolla woman who killed Harry Dunn hadn’t been smuggled out of the U.K. by the USA authorities we might have more confidence in their justice system.

Buckingham Palace isn't palatial?

Well I would have thought the clue was in the title.

Anyway, if he's not using all the many rooms in his 4 mansions, is he giving them over to Afghan refugees to use? Homeless ex-servicemen maybe? Families in need of accommodation?

Charles doesn’t own Clarence House, really he like me lives in
council property.

He was left Birkhall by his grandmother .

So he stays at Sandringham, his mother’s country house which was left to her by her father, many people visit their parents home.

He bought Highgrove

He bought Llwynywernod, a small farmhouse, the first
Prince of Wales to have a home in Wales since Llewelyn ap
Gruffudd in 1282

Grany - why so obsessed? Your posts come across as very sour. If you don’t like the royal family why not just ignore them?

As for Andrew - innocent until proved guilty, like anybody else.
