Crunch Time For Andrew.

[gulliver1]

The Queen has refused to pay Prince Andrew's legal fees in the sexual abuse case he is facing.
Andrew who is now unemployed and no longer earning needs cash fast.
The only asset he has is a Chalet at a Ski resort in Switzerland he and Fergie purchased worth £16m
He is desperate to sell ..Does anyone feel sorry for him.
Should Boris step in and bail him out with Tax payers money from the..... Crony Club Fund......

The queen has enormous personal wealth and lucrative income from sources other than the public purse.

[Stargazer]

He has just paid £80,000 for a new. vehicle.

naomi - // The queen has enormous personal wealth and lucrative income from sources other than the public purse. //

She does, and she is also acutely aware of public perception.

Were she to pay the costs from her personal private income, the perception would be that it had come from tax-payers' money.

In order to deflect that perception, and the seriously negative impact, she would have to confirm that the money did not come from the CL, but from her own purse, and she would never do that.

@17.13.Im not happy,andy-hughes,especially after last night when he managed to get about 10 postings critical about him removed.As i said earlier all us ABers are equal,but some ABers are more equal than others.But i will bite my tongue this time round.

^Another who’s privy to the queen’s personal thoughts and affairs.

[gulliver1]

I would have thought Sarah Ferguson would have stepped in here with a few million.... I think she has earned a tidy sum...since she left Andrew

[THECORBYLOON]

Mods and the EDs remove posts not other folk. If they had been deleted by Mods inappropriately, they would have been re-instated by the EDs.

Is it that difficult to understand?

[Teapots1]

The simple fact is, no one will know if she pays out of her nest egg.

[Barsel]

When did Fergie leave Andrew?

I do not know the thread to which you refer, but to reassure you -

Gulliver has not ' ... managed to get about 10 postings critical about him removed. '

Gulliver has no powers to have posts removed, I believe he is not a Moderator, and if he were, Moderators are not permitted to remove posts about themselves under those circumstances.

What has happened is, a Moderator has seen the posts, judged them to be Abuse which contavenes Site Rules, and removed them accordingly.

If you are unhappy with my explanation, I suggest you contact the Ed directly by e-mail, rather than continuing this line of exchange on here.

Such continued exchanges would also contravene Site Rules, and could be subject to removal for the same reason.

Barsel When he refused to suck her toe's.

[Barsel]

I thought they still lived together even though they're divorced.

//////Does anyone feel sorry for him./////

Yes I do.....perhaps sorry is not the right word but a certain amount of sympathy.

How many men would like their sex life, ordinary or extraordinary splashed across the media and expose to public morality?
How many could or would honestly admitting to having a circle of friends who after being flown to a mansion in the desert, wined and dined with congenial and flirtatious female guests would turn down a post prandial sexual session?
Would you ask their age, enquire about grooming procedures or just indulge in what might be described as pleasurable intercourse.....

I can honestly say that I may well have indulged.

We Brits are suspicious of wealth and position and take the chance of giving one a good kicking when the opportunity arises.

I don't know the Prince and dont particularly like him, but do I have some sympathy............yes I probably do.

[gulliver1]

Not sure how Sarah Ferguson earns her income these days .
..It was something to do with painting Toes.. when she and Andrew first split up.

[Teapots1]

Think you have it about right there Sqad. This is no more than a gold digging exercise.

[gulliver1]

Barsel 17.33 ....Exactly .............P/S like your avatar.

Stargazer @ 17.26 what sort of vehicle was that for £80.000?

Ah well, nice to read the reactions to the OP. Makes a difference from "what are you having for tea"?

[Stargazer]

I think it was a large Land Rover model. He was photographed driving it in Windsor after Christmas,
