You’re probably right, but it still is the right thing to say. If you have to pay somebody else to write it and can afford the best, it’s the way to go. But you know, it just might have been Andy hissef. You never know.

I used to be acquainted with a rather famous entertainer. He stayed several times at a hotel resort where I was the Night Auditor/Front Desk person. One of his great pleasures in life was when he wasn’t recognized or was recognized and treated as though he wasn’t famous anyway.

This Prince may have enjoyed the experience

I know the Duke of York very well. He probably did write this himself, but he has been very well taught what the right things to say and write are.

I would guess that at the time it happened, the police officers were treated to the full vernacular of a career sailor in full flow, followed by the the type of dressing down only a senior officer knows how to give.

They won’t have lost their jobs - lest a security officer hesitates in the future. You want them to err on the side of caution.

They will be spending some time with a training officer looking at flashcards of famous faces.

Maybe not their heads but I’m betting they lost their jobs.

Naw, "Welcome to the Malvinas!"

It’s NOT good to be a Prince!

, "There is a high turnover of the police on duty at the Palace, but you’d think anyone would know what Prince Andrew looks like." At least anyone who works at the palace.

It's what happens when you outsource security to India.

I think after a certain age, you probably shouldn’t be called “Prince”. “Backup King” would be better. It’s just embarrassing if you are over 60.

Can we use some other title than Vice-President for Joe Biden?
