Alleged Chinese spy with links to Prince Andrew banned from the UK

Wonder how much his mother left him?

The media has always said he was the Queens favourite, this rumour started in the sixties when it was accepted the press could and did criticise her

Having had a relative that did things that made us feel embarrassed I can imagine a bit about how the RF feels, but without the publicity.

At least he serves a useful purpose as a talking point here on GN.

I feel sorry for his daughters.

Oh dear, Prince Andrew is such a liability to the Royal firm

Time for him to become a recluse, no money from the public purse, let him live off of what’s in his bank, I am sure he is not short of a bob or two…

Andrew is not a working royal so doesn’t receive any money from the public purse. I believe King Charles pays for his security as the late Queen used to, I would imagine he promised his mother he would do this.

I very much doubt that Charles would put his brother in danger

I think they are all tarred with the same brush…Charlie took a bagful of cash from a Middle Eastern leader….for a charity!! Then there’s their scam of taking money OFF charities they are supposed to be working for….Andrew is thick ..he got caught the others are wily and sly ..and too good at their game of fleece anyone who believes Royalty is superior to them.

Matt nails it again!

Prince Andrew is terrible at choosing friends

"Monarch to monarch". The monarch's entire estate is left to the next monarch. It's a system put in place to be most efficient with regard to inheritance tax.

Ask his Navy crew what they think of him!!!.He is a pompous, arrogant and greedy man and dangerous because of , no wonder his ex wife is still on board, she knows too much as do his family. What liabilities. Turf him out and cut off every penny, he's more than enough stashed.

Andrew doesn’t choose them, they target him 😉

The trouble is, they don't pay inheritance tax and the wills are sealed for 100 years, despite the fact that wills for literally everyone else are public documents.

He has no power, no say in anything of any importance and I very much doubt any knowledge of anything that could jeopardise national security.

A lot of fuss about nothing IMO.

He’s a weak and foolish man. I agree with Smileless that it’s unlikely he has imparted anything of major importance - but he is nonetheless an embarrassment to his family and the UK’s reputation. His poor daughters have a lot to put up with.

He's a gift that keeps on giving for the anti royal brigade.

He’s certainly taking from the Royal Family’s reputation. I wish he’d accept Adelaide Cottage to relieve his money issues, and accept that he will never have a public role again, then he should fade into a graceful obscurity.

He and his wife seem to need 30 bedrooms

Yes, totally agree. He has no need to be knocking around in a place with 30 bedrooms. Do us all a favour and disappear into obscurity.

His mother’s favourite. A charmer in his youth.
Now?
A bit of an entitled prat aka “Do you know who I am?”

Remember when Andrew rammed closed park gates with his very expensive Range Rover to avoid a mile’s detour home?
Entitled prat.

or sprayed white paint over press personnel and cameras,
or his shameful remarks at Lockerbie ? years ago, but he
doesn’t improve
I wonder if he had married the more serene Katharine Stark she would have calmed him down rather, but hey ho that RN ship has well and truly sailed.
Sadly, the galumphing Fergie fed/feeds his entitlement,
skin like a rhino.
I agree that he should be exiled somewhere isolated where
he cannot do any harm, politically, internationally, commercially, is not a thorn in the King’s side, is out of
sight of the public, and take his wife with him.

Currently occupied by William and family

I heard on the radio this morning that he has to pay for his own security.

If that’s true, Charles doesn’t then.

I know he (Andrew) had to start paying for his daughters security years ago.

For those surprised that Andrew needs 30 bedrooms
in a house which is unnecessarily large, take a look at
Bagshot Park, also part of Windsor Great Park, home
of Edward and Sophie, their two children, 120 rooms !!

Do not Edward and Sophie own their home ?

No, it is merely leased to them by the Crown Estate.
