No Longer a Prince

This morning I read that the Palace was taking steps to strip Prince Andrew of all his royal titles and that he would henceforth be called just Andrew. He will also be asked to leave his current property, which is part of the Crown Properties.

I guess after the book Entitled by Andrew Lownie came out, it was inevitable. When I read the book, I was shocked that such behavior had gone on for so long and tolerated by so many people. And that book was so well publicised and the author spoke on so many talk shows that it was just getting impossible to ignore the book’s contents and to what had happened.

I suspect that his mother, the late Queen, has to take a large part of the responsibility for how he turned out and for protecting him all these years.

Plus the recent book by his accuser, the late Virginia Guiffee, which has just been released, hasn’t helped. Am contemplating whether to read that book.

A massive fall for one who was once second in line to the British throne.

If his mother was still alive, I wonder if would still this have happened.
