Andrew has dragged the royal family's reputation through the mud on several occasions. He and Fergie signed up for the chalet in November/December. I don't believe that news of this court action broke on poor naive Andrew, all unawares, as it happened, in January. I think he would have had some forewarning.
As for 'none of our business' I am a taxpayer in the UK as well as in Australia, plus the Queen is my Queen of Australia too. The behaviour of her crass and stupid son and his ex wife impacts on me as a monarchist and I'm entitled to comment on it.
If you think Andrew selling the former family home at a grossly inflated price to an Eastern oligarch's son and then buying a luxury ski lodge in between meeting with sex offenders and having massages from teenage girls is acceptable behaviour for the Queen's son, fine! It isn't for me!
I'm sorry, but when you assert that Andrew had forewarning of the suit filed against Mr Epstein, I believe you need to back it up with a credible source because it is a serious allegation and speculation as such falls outside the rules of the Forum.
Regardless of what you think about Andrew and his finances, it is still
none of our business and, with all the previous goings on, I bet that deal is squeaky clean because I wouldn't mind betting it was approved by HM.
As to the amount they sold Sunninghill for, well as any Real Estate Agent will tell you, when one sells a home one usually puts one's baseline figure. That some Eastern oligarch wanted it badly enough to pay far more, probably for the cache of it's having been previously owned by a member of the BRF, is just the way the market goes. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay. What is done with it is neither Andrew's business nor problem.
As to allegations of impropriety regarding underaged girls, I, along with the rest of the world, would like to see the proof before I make my mind up. That you feel in necessary to vent, denigrating and abusing Andrew, I do believe you are, once again cutting it close to the line.
Do you remember the Charles and Diana days. They dragged the royal family through mud MUCH MORE SO than Prince Andrew. Fact.
Much as I may see your point, may even agree, please don't shout.
