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

Wow. Do you know people who’ve worked for him?

Do tell?

And why he sold his 7 bed ski chalet in Verbiers to pay for it. Took a big hit on the selling price but needs must.

This is supposed to be so that he can defend the court case in the US as a private citizen. Presumably so RF and the military are not dragged in to the mire.

I don't think she could have done differently. She will want to minimise the damage to the Crown I feel sorry for her as a mother, regardless of her position and culpability in his upbringing. Her supposedly favourite child has let her down. I have no sympathy for Andrew. He reaps what he has sown.

Not unexpected and it could get messy, very very messy.

You have to admire our Queen, This must have been a tough decision to take against Andrew who is thought to be her favourite child but she has acted straight away and stripped him of his military and HRH title. He will continue with the court case as a private citizen. Shame our PM hasn't the same courage.

No, LilacChaser that was the Chinese spy revelation earlier.

Not before time

I just knew a big news story would come along to take the heat off Boris grin.

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