And that’s basically it!

I am no true king.
You do the math. ;)
Right. You're a potato.
A huge piece of shit in almost every respect, but the character had his moments of poignancy.
a POS, but a good politician and he had his principles. not many lanisters could claim that much...
His staff are on record as saying they call him "the cunt" when he's not around. I forget which interview that was but it was a former staff member on a TV interview.
Seen it, I think it was an interview with one of the security staff
"Yes, sir. Flagon of ale for the child rapist, sir. And absolutely nobody has done anything untoward in it, sir".
Here is your beer “Sir” …

Why does this fucker get royal staff?
He's still uber rich. Between being mummy's favourite and being the literal shaddy deal's man for the British government for a while, he probably has more money than he would be able to spend.
I think we really should stick to calling him “Prince Andrew.” If we don’t we’re letting the monarchy separate itself from him…but that’s bullshit; he has the privilege of being a prince and his status as prince is not just what gave him the liberty to be a monster, but I think we can assume it’s what actually made him a monster.
The Andrew formerly known as a prince.
Eh… I have mixed feelings on that.
Firstly, I don’t think his position made him a monster. I absolutely think it made it easier to become one, but there are plenty of opportunistic pedophiles who aren’t princes. In fact I don’t think it’s a far stretch to say the vast majority aren’t princes
Secondly, correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t the majority of his privilege been stripped from him? Yeah, he can still visit royal places and such, but doesn’t he have about the same “power” as an in law or something?
There’s also the question of if the monarchy enabled his actions. Though, again I admit they may not have done enough after learning of his actions.
As a Canadian who never really paid attention to British royalty, this feels a lot like blaming a family for one member committing a mass murder. But that could just be a lack of understanding on my part.
He is getting used to it I guess. "Sir" is a pretty big demotion from "your royal highness".
man I'd love to try "Ah yes your pedoness" just once
I'd literally tell him to "fuck off I'll call you Nonce Andrew, and if you threaten me I'll go to the press and tell them even more shit that will get you in prison, you fucking nonce. Now get on your knees and apologise. And then I'd film it, and send it to the press"
Good luck having rights while working for any of the royals

My first impulse was to comment this :
But then...
You're just a Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to me.
Wait until they downgrade him from Mountbatten to just Hill
It stands for "Sweat Isn't Real"
What a bizarre claim to make, that he can't sweat was it? Obviously not true, he was in the military I think, even as a helicopter pilot he wouldn't be able to serve if he couldn't sweat. You wouldn't be able to live without sweating first time you get some exercize you would get brain damage, or first trip to the subtropics, from the heat. Your balls would get fried too.
Guy obviously can sweat if he couldn't he would be like a bubble boy.
The helicopter pilot was his nephew, Harry. I believe Andrew served in the Navy during the Falklands war.
The really incredible thing is that he thought everyone was dumb enough to fall for all the bullshit in that interview. "I have a tendency to be too honourable." FFS.
No matter what they are forced to call you, you'll always see the contempt in their eyes; not one person smiling to see you walk into the room, ever.
People are very negative but they don't understand the house of windsor and how tradional it is. What else is traditional. The stockades.
I think it's particularly hilarious that for all the talk of tradition, the house of "Windsor" was a name chosen during WWI, barely more than a century ago. The original name was "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha", but somewhat awkwardly German bombers built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik and popularly known as "Gothas" happened to be dropping explosives on London.
lol ok sure, Andrew formerly known as Prince
The thing about "prince" is that it's halfway to "nonce"
Sir Pedophile
This Saxon Royalist shit heap deserves to be buried in an unmarked grave. Ideally without building a parking lot over his insipid pedophilic corpse so as to deny him even identification after centuries of disgraced death.
They can't call him sir, that's an honorific in England that has meaning and he lost all formal titles, legally he isn't a sir anymore he's a Mr.
Should be calling him by a number
Where is he interacting with royal staff these days?
Fuck you Andy
The pedophile traitor deserves a single finger salute and tell him to fetch his own beer.
No son of royalty or riches is a real boy!
Mainstream or street.
