And all his military titles have been returned to HM The Queen.

You mean he went off and did again to all the Officers?

Visgir1 Thu 13-Jan-22 19:29:05

He did it all the time.

BlueBelle Thu 13-Jan-22 19:27:03

He hasn’t been stripped he’s given it up apparently Not defending him he’s a txt but they did make it clear it wasn t bring stripped

Peasblossom Thu 13-Jan-22 19:19:51

No apparently it was really visgirls husband who was not the Captan but another rank. We have it from the horses mouth.

Funny how these stories get about, isn’t it? ?

I have seen that quote repeated in newspapers several times over the years especially recently.
Andrew apparently introduced himself as Prince Andrew “but you can call me Andrew to which the Captain said “and you can call me sir”

Echoing Kandinsky’s comments, agree entirely. What eventuates for him time will tell, but it’s our dear Queen and his daughters who also have to suffer thru the glare of publicity.

Andrew was a decoy pilot during the Falklands conflict.

I wonder who came up with that idea? ?

I know nobody who worked for him, but somebody who worked with me went on a couple of trade missions with him, and what he had to say about him bears this out.

My husband came across him several times during his time in the Royal Navy. Not a good word to say for him. Nor did any of the other ratings he worked with.

Wonder what Fergie's stance will be now? She's used to defending him

She’s not the only one..

EllanVannin Thu 13-Jan-22 18:35:19

What were all the ribbons and medals about ? My late H worked harder in the Merchant Navy and a tanker he was on was blown up. Things like this grate me I'm afraid.

Kandinsky Thu 13-Jan-22 18:35:01

I feel very sorry for the queen & his daughters.

Anniebach Thu 13-Jan-22 18:33:05

Andrew would know how to address fellow officers

Peasblossom Thu 13-Jan-22 18:19:45

In fact it was in another post a few days ago, but I can’t remember which one.

Peasblossom Thu 13-Jan-22 18:18:13

Yes, he has been named as far as this story is concerned. It’s not a new story. It’s been around for years.

Anniebach Thu 13-Jan-22 18:15:29

Visgirl do ask for your post to be removed, the name of the person you spoke of is known

Visgir1 Thu 13-Jan-22 18:13:43

No.. Just a higher Rank

Ohmother

About time! Pompous prat! I’ve never heard anyone that’s worked for him say anything flattering. Roll on the court case now.

My husband was at Sea with him.. When they first met he asked my DH what do I call you...? My DH said you call me Sir...
And yes tried to pull the Pompous card but in the RN he didn't get away with it.
What a idiot, completely F*** up.

Your husband was actually Captain of that ship, was he?

Gosh that’s made you easy to identify.

Do you think you ought to ask for your post to be taken down?

merlotgran Thu 13-Jan-22 18:09:10

He hasn’t been stripped of his HRH but he will no longer use it - just like the Sussexes.

Can’t see the difference myself.

Good news - the pompous halfwit.

annie61 Thu 13-Jan-22 18:02:51

Feel sorry for his daughters, but he brought all this on himself.

Wonder what Fergie's stance will be now? She's used to defending him.

Blossoming Thu 13-Jan-22 18:00:51

The only other option was to settle, and how would that have played out?

Esspee Thu 13-Jan-22 17:57:02

One bit of good news for the day. Now let’s hope the next one is the PM’s resignation.

EllanVannin Thu 13-Jan-22 17:54:37

The shame !
