It was a gift with no clauses as far as I can remember, HM doesn't put ties on gifts to her children.

To both of them? Or just Andrew?

I posted in the Sarah thread, but it was a wedding gift to both of them.

Prince Andrew came under intense criticism in Washington yesterday for his attack on George Bush's Iraq policies.
The prince, whose ten-day trade mission to the U.S. starts today, said America had failed to heed British advice about the war.

The prince has many well-to-do friends that would glady offer him the use of their plane so to me, that would have been the most logical and best PR for the Duke. And then they can stop to play a few rounds here and there..even in February, there are a few warmish days for golf....

His views on the war come from a man who has himself been in harm's way, but I feel he doesn't quite get the whole enchilada...He might do well to ask Fergie's friends, the Wyatt's..Steve and Lynn...but wait, he can't ask Oscar because he has been imprisoned for his dealings with Saddam Hussein..

I heard Oscar was "one mean sum b*tch" if you crossed him. I'm sure Miss Lynn would gladly glom (sic) onto HRH Andrew, she was trying to jockey a position in the Grimaldi harem when Ranier was alive.
