Andrew's future outside of the working BRF - Page 18

Denville · #**341** 06-23-2022, 10:54 AM

well he IS sitting quietly at home and going riding so I dont know what you are saying. He is not likely to change at his age and even if he did become more humble he would not get a job of any kind in hte outside world.. whether as a charity worker or something else.. because it is nowadays considered impossible to ever make up for previous misdeeds. Besides, i think that if he said he wanted to take up something manual, for example on the royal estate, the queen would discourage him. Not that she's a snob but she is very old and has older ideas about things.

My take on this thread was that we discuss about how Andrew would perceive his chances on changing his (working or current) life. My opinion is he should be happy to have what he has and be quiet from now on. For nothing he can do will change the public opinion and even if there were things he could do, he wouldn't because he is arrogant and eat humble pie is not what he wants. That's all I was saying and of course it's nothing new, but what is? And new ideas?

I dont think that he feels he has done anything wrong, but I think that even if he had, there's nothing he can do really. He is confined to the royal estates for life. I think he's probably accepted that, and will live iwht it and he seems to be living quietly, probalby visiting his mother and riding and playing golf and seeing his family. I think he knows that any kind of job is out of the question.

While the Duke of York has not said publicly that he is seeking to regain some of his former role, there is incontrovertible evidence, in the form of contradictory public statements from the palace and programs which were inconsistent with the final arrangements, of last-minute changes to the Duke of York's attendance or position at the Duke of Edinburgh's memorial service, the Jubilee, and Garter festivities. It is hard to imagine who else, other than the Duke of York himself, would have lobbied for him to attend the Garter Day procession, for instance.

I wouldn't call that Andrew trying to get work, as such... just hoping that occasionally he can attned events such as his father's service... I think he accepts that apart form seeing friends and an occasional appearance like PHIL's memoral, he has to mostly stay on the Windsor or Balmoral estates

Just pack him off to Wood Farm.

Although slightly simplistic, I do agree with this^^ I do worry that with the Cambridge's moving to Windsor soon the chances of Andrew being spotted regularly are higher. If anything was possible I'd defo be pushing for a quiet life at Sandringham or Balmoral - out of sight and out of mind. Realistically of course it isn't that simple.

what is the point of htat? He lives in a house that he has a long lease on.. it is in a private estate where he can keep to himself and only be seen at a distance by the press. he is near the queen.... and can do his riding.

This "house" is huge! Not easy to maintain, probably very expensive to keep it up...

Do we know, what his actual financial situation is? I mean, he might have a pension from the military, but is there more?

Moonmaiden23 · #**350** 06-30-2022, 01:24 PM

I agree with Denville. Why "pack him off" anywhere when Andrew already has a home?

People might not like it but he has every right legally and otherwise to live at Royal Lodge.

And he doesn't show the slightest inclination to leave.

Im sure the queen wont leave him short of enough money to maintin his house, esp as it means that he is near to her.

I dont see the point of saying pack him off to X. he has to live somehwere, unless he is going to be vaporised, and it stands to reason that he is going to live on one of the estates where he will be secure and have room to do things outside. No matter where he lives, i suppose someone will complain... so why not leave him in his home, near the queen in a secure area.

The BBC are reportedly planning to make a film about the infamous TV interview, reportedly with Hugh Grant playing Prince Andrew. I'm not sure what good this is going to do anyone.

Moonmaiden23 · #**354** 07-14-2022, 02:40 PM

I agree. A whole movie about a botched TV interview??

It wasn't exactly on the level of historical Nixon/Frost importance.

SiennaMonet · #**355** 07-14-2022, 03:15 PM

^ from what i understand, it's not about just the interview but the stories of the women who were behind getting it, what it was like leading up, reactions and etc.

Alisa · #**356** 07-14-2022, 08:23 PM

I can definitely see this as a made for TV movie. All the elements are there. It just needs a good screenwriter, director, and good actors

Mods - feel free to move this to a more appropriate thread if necessary, but, I have a feeling, after the very prominent place Sarah had, sitting with the immediate members of the Royal Family at both services today, that Andrew's future could very likely include remarriage to Sarah.

Even if they did remarry I don't see a place for them in the family going forward. The Queen liked Sarah and it might have been her wish for her to attend and sit with her daughters, I don't think Charles has much time for her.

I think this thread was created for discussion about Prince Andrew's future activities: https://www.theroyalforums.com/forum...ml#post2430463

As late as earlier this year there was some discussion about a potential York remarriage in the following thread:

Andrew & Sarah: Marriage, Divorce and Divorce Settlement

I was thinking about this, if Andrew were to remarry Sarah, would his reputation be improved a bit, even by the slightest measure? Someone who has accusations against him then settling down again in a healthy relationship, I don't know, just a thought.
