I don’t get how this royalty stuff works. Sir Andrew or Prince Andrew or his royal horniness or whatever is told to step down.
From what? From being her grandson??
He has official duties that he gets paid for..so does Hapless Harry
Prince Charles friend who posts here indicated this is why Hapless Harry can’t leave the UK. He can have a second home but can’t move to California.
He’s the queen’s favorite son and he won’t be carrying out any more royal duties on behalf of the crown.
His title as Duke of York is untouchable barring an act of Parliament. But he is considered a working member of the Royal Family with the “HRH” prefix to his title. That means he is expected to perform official duties and that he is on the payroll so to speak and probably entitled to official protection. He probably should hand in his HRH and go quietly into exile somewhere.
Charles is not very popular on this forum but he has grown up a bit over the years even if he doesn’t have his mother’s good sense to avoid even a hint of political opinions on even the most mundane subjects. But I have to give him credit for a few things. One is that he has been arguing for years that the Family needs to cut back on its official size. Everyone with an HRH is entitled to a public income. The Queen is wealthy enough that if she wants to support the lesser members of the Family with a gift from “the royal purse,” she could swing it with ease. Charles wants to reduce the number of relatives with an HRH by half or more.
