Good for him.

[bednobs]

i don't think i realised they lived together (or in fact that she was still referred to as duchess)

[jno]

just as well they didn't give her a white elephant,

[barry1010]

I really thought Sarah and Andrew would re-marry after Philip died. They might yet do so.

[naomi24]

I think they've lived together pretty much continually since they divorced. I wonder if they will remarry now and that Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are gone. Word has it that he absolutely detested Fergie.

[naomi24]

Snap, barry.

[MissTerious]

Lovely news. I'm glad Andrew and Sarah still have close relationship. I always liked Sarah. I was worried about the corgies.

[davebro]

I think Andrew will be eased out of his purdah - possibly give some role that is hard to criticise despite his past.

[meaghan72]

I find it hard to believe, as stated in the article, that the public worried who was going to adopt the corgis.

[MissTerious]

It would be good if they remarried. I have lot of sympathy for Andrew. He acted stupidly, but he is not a villain!

[MissTerious]

Meaghan. I find it easy to believe. It had crossed my mind. But I was sure they would be rehomed. The dogs were part of her family, as mine have always been. Our lovely queen was an animal lover.

[meaghan72]

What I meant was it's not like she was an old woman with no family. I just presumed the corgis would be shared out between the family.

[MissTerious]

Agreed.

In that famous televised interview Andrew referred to her quite a few times as the duchess

[naomi24]

elliemay,

From wiki: //In accordance with letters patent issued in August 1996 regulating post-divorce royal titles, Sarah formally ceased being a Royal Highness and was re-styled Sarah, Duchess of York.//

[roadman]

he is a bit touchy and dogs love a pat they will probally be quite happy

[DTCwordfan]

How much does a dog-walker get paid?

[elliemay1]

I know that Naomi, my quote was from bednobs

[naomi24]

Oh, okay,. Sorry.

[Peter Pedant]

christ a rare apology....

purdah ( hindi) or Borda ( arabic, you can hang onto the 'r' for about five minutes) is the seclusion and wearing of black that gels do, because it is felt they may fall to the blandishments of men ( any man)

Andy in purdah - - bit like saying he is obviously post-partum or having problems getting his breasts to produce milk....
