Prince Andrew

In this instance I'm not including Maj as this thread is about the lesser royals.....all the hangers on who are quite capable of paying for their extremely privileged lifestyles out of their own exceedingly well lined pockets.

I've posted on here before in support of the senior members of the Royal Family so I'm not going to go into all that again but I have no time for the lesser Royals.

Do hope you are not including her MAJ in that ?

Hmmm

Exactly Greatnan. We see these leeches and wonder why we have to pay to support them whether in cash or kind.

They are the kind of leeches that make people like the idea of a republic - and Andy is another one.

They paid rent Greatnan. The princely sum of £69 per week (or thereabouts) which is about half what my daughter pays for a three up, two down, cottage.

PM then sold their manor house so they could go on the Royal housing list which means they are still in KP.

Didn't the Kents (Prince Michael and that stuck up uber-Royal wife) squat in a grace and favour apartment for years?

Maybe he'd had a panic phone call because she couldn't remember if she'd turned the gas off.

Can you still get those little 'I Spy' books?

Maybe, 'I Spy The Royal Family' should be standard issue for the protection squad.

merlot He'd obviously gone round to pick up the mail and check all the doors and windows were secure for his mum!

If he got off the golf course ,had fewer holidays, stopped flying around the world and did some public duties people may recognise him .

I'm still wondering why he's there at all? He has a massive pile of his own not a million miles away, the Royal household has decamped to Scotland and he's no longer a 'front line' Royal or a working one having lost his 'Ambassador's' cushy number job.

Have we had a Royal squatter before?

I can just imagine him saying, "Don't you know who I am?" and them replying, "Who are you?"

Will have pricked his overinflated ego

He should be grateful that he and his, are being protected with such vigour. Perhaps he should have given notice to 'someone' that he intended to take a walk in Mummy's back yard, especially after recent events. They could have an IN and OUT box at the back door!

It was a happy little fantasy – royal protection officers shooting Fat Andy – but I wouldn't want to see it in reality, any more than I would like one of the guests to shoot the Duke of Edinburgh at the Boxing Day shoot.

Had't they had a couple of other incidents prior to this one..all a bit jumpy I would say! I did laugh though!

The Express said they did draw their arms and surely it is always right...

If they didn't know who he was then they should have drawn their firearms automatically shouldn't they. For all they knew he was an armed terrorist who hadn't done his homework and didn't know that Liz et al spend summer in Scotland.

Naughty Absent - you'll be sent to the Tower if you set foot in the UK again

Why is it a shame, I mean.

Why?

According to the Met, no firearms were drawn. Shame!

You'd think her Maj could afford to get somebody in to house sit while they're on hols.

I am curious as to what he was doing in the garden. Walking the corgi's?

Sounds like a good story for the media!
