  As long as they leave him with his Scottish title of the Earl of Inverness I'll be happy. I enjoy referring to him as the Loch Ness Noncer.
context: But who will take care of the corgis?  I thought he was given that job, with all his grooming experience and all that ~~jazz~~ jizz. >
  
  He doesn’t like to work up a sweat. >
  
  To be fair I could totally believe he can't sweat with those "royal" genes. That's a reasonable mutation. >
  
  Inbreeding takes its toll >
  
  I think Charles has been watching Godfather 2, time for Andrew to go fishing with Neri >
  
  "I don't want anything to happen to him while my mother's alive." >
  
  Like when you’re watching that movie and you see the old lady has died, you know that Fredo is not long for this world. One has to wonder if Andrew‘s stomach didn’t sink when he found out that his mom died >
  
  Started to sweat for the first time in his life >
  
  Oh lawd he's sweating now >
  
  Well Mom gave him a £10m fluffy towel before she died.  She saved his ass financially and kept the awful truth out of the courts. >
  
  Andrew. The “Fredo” of the Windsors >
  
  “I know it was you, Andrew.  You broke my heart.  YOU BROKE MY HEART!” >
  
  Wait until he turns up for a fishing trip with William, only for William not to show up. 
  “Camilla, once I’ll let you ask me about my affairs” 
  “Chaaarrlllees, is it true?” 
  “…..No” 
  door closes, Camilla turns back just to notice Edward kissing Charles’ royal ring >
  
  From the small article:
  ‘It is a further blow to the 62-year-old prince after the Home Office this month made the decision to strip him of his 24-hour armed security, though the Royal Household will now foot the £3 million annual bill for his protection.
  Former Home Office minister Norman Baker said of the decision: “Armed protection has always been a status symbol for the likes of Prince Andrew.
  “Of course he should pay it himself and not burden the taxpayer because he is a private individual and carries out no public duties.”
  However, Andrew – who will join his brother Charles, his own ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and other members of the family for Christmas at Sandringham – is believed to be retaining his Royal Lodge home on the Windsor’ >
  
  I’d betcha Charles didn’t even want to foot the bill for his bro’s security. >
  
  If somebody assassinated him, that'd be a pretty bad look for the royals. Especially Charles after all the Diana stuff. He probably wants some sort of legacy as King and doesn't have a lot of time to do it in. Andrew tarnishes it. Simple enough. >
  
  Wouldn't just be Diana. Charles' great uncle Lord Mountbatten got blown the fuck up by the IRA. And Mountbatten was trying to set Charles up with his granddaugther. He would even still propose and she turned him down because of the bombing killing her grandparents and brother.
  And yeah they really hang Andrew out to dry and somebody kills the soft target... well even if Charles really hates his brother, unless like Andrew's daughters hate him so much they won't even show for his funeral someone can make hay out him being a heartless bastard to the man's family. >
  
  Mountbatten was also raping kids, only in his case little boys at Irish orphanages. 
  Fuck all the royals. >
  
  Excuse me what?!
  I literally went to the school named after him >
  
  Wow, you also went to Mountbatten Sexy Boys School? >
  
  OP was a really cute child. >
  
  I was an altar boy at church, and I spent 8 years in boy scouts. Didn't even get touched once. Obviously I wasn't a sexy child. >
  
  "Go fetch your gift brother, it is just outside the palace"
  *closes the gates* >
  
  Look Andrew, a minor. >
  
  "That's a miner, not minor!" >
  
  By Grab'thar's hammer... What a savings. >
  
  LMAO “Is there air!? You dont know!” >
  
  I’m just crewman number six! Do I have a last name?! >
  
  You do! >
  
  DO I??? DO I????? >
  
  Poor guy doesn’t even have a shady island to hide out on anymore! >
  
  How convenient that he was able to transfer all his assets before he was arrested. >
  
  His assets were fully transferred and then he was suicide'd.
  Funny how that worked out... >
  
  funny how a man transferred his assets to his brother and then killed himself, resulting in his victims getting nothing?
  If anything, that’s an argument that he actually did kill himself >
  
  Or an argument that he didn't, if he stood trial he'd likely have to forfeit everything in damages but since he died all the infrastructure for his criminal organization remains intact. >
  
  Reminds me CEO of Enron I think died of a heart attack and as a result his wife got to keep all the assets he would have have lost because he was still appealing his conviction. >
  
  And there was that guy that made an online currency exchange website and he died in some random country and his password was lost and heaps of ppl lost money and think his wife did it and sry I don't remember what it was bc I'm drunk but I watched a documentary on it lol >
  
  Yep that’s the one. Super sketchy circumstances too. >
  
  The King has disliked Andrew for yrs. Lol. The Queen was the one providing for him. He wont be completely ousted, just pushed out of any kind of royal business and hiding in the shadows >
  
  My grandma was the same way, loved her sons to a fault, especially the shiftiest one. 
  Because he was her baby once. 
  Ignoring all the signs and his manipulative bullshit allowed him to molest most of her grandchildren. 
  Something about mothers and their sons, I guess. >
  
  Same with my grandma and her sons. They would molest the girls and when the girls told her what they did when she was gone she said they were liars and told them. They would beat the girls in retaliation thereafter so they stopped talking about it or trying to get help. It’s a PART of why my mom is so insane I’d assume. >
  
  Yep, whenever someone would try to address it with her, she would just shut down, and say we were lying.
  We were the problem. We were out to get him—her adult child, just like everyone else since he was a kid. 
  He’s been in and out of prison his whole life and it’s never been his fault. >
  
  My mother-in-law is like this a bit with her other son.
  I don’t know if it’s the same with your grandma, but I have a theory. I get the impression that she genuinely thinks if she actually condemns any action of her sons, she’s “abandoning” them as a mother, in a manner of speaking.  
  She however has been genuinely aghast at some of the things her other son has done…unlike your grandma who apparently prefers to bury her head in the sand and actually abandon her grandchildren. 
  I’m so sorry. I hope you and your mom are far, far away from her now. >
  
  Some mothers (I should say parent in general, because I've seen this and heard about this with dads as well) also have this notion that if they DON'T accept the horrible things they're children have done, that it somehow absolves said child(ren) of doing whatever horrible thing it is they're being accused of. 
  "My precious baby boy/girl couldn't possibly molest that person, they'd neeeeeever do anything like this" - Then will continue to announce and parade whatever minor or major achievements the offspring has accomplished, to whoever will listen. Literally believing, feeling, and making themselves understand (quote / unquote) that their little ferocious criminals are perfect little angels. 
  It's absolutely terrifying, maddening, and incredibly sad 😔. >
  
  
  "My precious baby boy/girl couldn't possibly molest that person, they'd neeeeeever do anything like this"
  
  Because they equate bad kids with bad parenting. >
  
  Isn't it though? Arguably if they'd held their children responsible for their bad behavior from infancy they may not have turned into bad kids, abusers or criminals. 
  Can you raise a good kid if nothing is ever their fault and they can do no wrong in your eyes? >
  
  Parents can do their best but it ultimately is a mixture of their environment growing up. You can have amazing parents but if you grew up like in chicagos section 8 then you might end up in the wrong crowd. You hear so many stories like this (obviously it can be the parents fault at most but I don’t many want their kids dead or doing bad shit out there) >
  
  "Andrew, my regime is going to be big on not diddling children. And I don't think that's really your thing. So... Yeah... Maybe look for an apartment." >
  
  King Charles : "Bro you're over 60 .. I think it is time to pop the Royal Titty out Yo mouth"
  (or words to that effect) >
  
  I just hope this is a modified quote from Major Payne >
  
  That's exactly how I heard it >
  
  Good riddance. Predator like this shouldn't be ignored. >
  
  Dutch and Naru both know you never ignore a predator. Ever. >
  
  Dylan? >
  
  You sonnova bitch! >

  Announced in the middle of the night on Christmas morning. I find that part interesting. >
  
  Yes I agree. There's more to the story here that we may never know. >
  
  I expect that Charles insisted that his Christmas day speech mark some kind of new beginning.
  Both Elizabeth II's funeral and the coronation coming up next year will be seen as the general flow of royal proceedings, on which Charles is sort of floating along.
  He may instead view The King's Speech later today as the real beginning of his interface with the public. And wanted certain things "in order" so that his words land with a little more sincerity.
  I'm not expecting any great revelations in the speech -- it will be the usual non-feather-ruffling good cheer -- but just that he wants to feel that he's looking at his subjects with a straight face. >
  
  Mom loved you. I do not. Merry Christmas! 🎄 >
  
  *mum >
  
  Is that the word?… >
  
  Everybody knows that the bird is the word. >
  
  But I was told that grease is the word! >
  
  Grease is the time, place and motion. >
  
  Grease is the way we are feeeeling. >
  
  I bet he’s been waiting for years to do that. And glad to have a reason to do so >
  
  Poor Prince Andrew just a few months ago he was eating Foie Gras with Queen Elizabeth II in Buckingham Palace. Now he has none of those. >
  
  Now he’ll have to get a job at the local grocery store. Work his way up to middle management. Find a little flat and move in with two cats. >
  
  
  Hey, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now... now I'm washing lettuce. Soon I'll be on fries; then the grill. In a year or two, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in.  - Andrew >
  
  They've got the Golden Arches, we've got the Golden Arcs >

  They've got the Big Mac, we've got the Big Mick >
  
  Ok but did anyone put guards on him to keep him away from teenage girls? >
  
  you mean like bowling bumpers?  I think the crown can afford those.  BOWLING BUMPERS FOR ANDREW! >
  
  LOOK OUT EVERYONE!!!  HES LOOSE ON THE STREETS!!! >

  I'm gonna give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts full of lead! -The King >

  Ah hahahaha! Keep the change ya filthy animal. >
  
  Canada's Nationalpost quoting the UK's Sun. Lmao couldn't get a more unholy combination of sources if you tried >
  
  Rebel media is offended by this statement >
  
  Mostly by the part about using sources. >
  
  King Charles to Andrew: “Get the fuck outta here bro!” >
  
  On one hand, that's a terribly mean thing to do at Christmas.
  On the other...it's Prince Andrew. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  Edit: This is my first comment ever that's broken 1,000 upvotes, much less quadruple that. I'm...not sure how I ought to feel about my most-upvoted comment being about Prince Andrew. ಠ_ಠ >
  
  Having the Christmas he deserves, I'd say. >
  
  Do you think Charles made him weigh before and after he stripped him of everything? It’s a Windsor Christmas tradition! >
  
  Weigh? Do tell. >
  
  In the movie Spencer, they revealed the Windsor tradition of weighing everyone before and after Christmas meal to see if they gained enough weight to prove they enjoyed the food. >
  
  That sounds like something they’d do!
  Bless, Happy Christmas. >
  
  The grand old Duke of York,
  He had 12 million quid,
  He gave it to someone he never met,
  For something he never did >
  
  Apparently he is “believed to be retaining his Royal Lodge home on the Windsor estate.” So he’s not exactly on his own. >
  
  He was given a very very generous deal on that but it was a private legal contract between Andrew and the crown estate . I don’t think Charles would legally be able to kick Andrew out unless he took him to court and that’s never going to happen. >
  
  Yeah, since he's entitled to a portion of the queen's estate. Very hard to strip that without the queen being alive, or a clear act of Parliament. >
  
  I think Parliament could be persuaded if they saw Charles was game. >
  
  How hard is it to be born into the most prestigious privilege and not fuck it up? >
  
  Rephrase this all… 62 year old finally made to live on his own. By own, we mean in an estate mansion, with private security force, and no job. So really, he is going to live a peaceful retired life! The same one we all work 50 years to try to get. >
  
  I could work 500 years and not have the cushy retirement that Andrew gets for being born. >
  
  It's basically Michael Corleone and Fredo, "As long as my mother is alive....." >
  
  In order to remove them from the line of succession, you need to get The House of Commons to pass a law stating they are a weenie and should be removed from the line of succession. 
  But kicking him out the house is the first step. >
  
  Fuck that guy. >
  
  Not literally though >
  
  He pays for sex for a reason. >
  
  I assumed Charly would be a shit show of a king. And here he is doing what should have been done decades ago. >
  
  Honestly I think he's not a bad guy, even if he's of course very out of touch due to the way he was raised. People give him shit for not being faithful to Diana, but she was never his choice in the first place. He seems to genuinely care about the environment, and was one of the very early people to do so. >
  
  Yeah Charles made it very clear that he didn’t want to marry her and already loved someone else. Yet he was forced into it anyways. >
  
  Not only that,but it's not like he was chasing the young beauty between Diana and Camilla, just the opposite. Dude was in love but forced to marry someone else. >
  
  I think it’s quite a tragic story. 
  I know he’s got his faults but overall I really like King Charles. He seems to appreciate the value of diverse and younger voices and I have nothing but respect for that, particularly in an institution like the crown where it’s so unusual.
