Andrew apparently had a row and possibly a physical fight, with one of the Queen's most senior aides.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...nce-Andrew-nearly-come-blows-Queens-aide.html


For now, and possibly ever more, the fine points of Prince Andrew’s toe-to-toe altercation with the Queen’s Master of Household remain as closely guarded as any Royal secret.

While all parties concede the Duke of York had a ‘disagreement’ with ex-Naval Vice Admiral Tony Johnstone-Burt, there has been less clarity on its cause, or whether – as one senior Buckingham Palace figure told this newspaper – it became physical.

Was there a bit of shoving, perhaps? Or some poking? Or maybe something worse?

Despite several requests for clarification, Buckingham Palace refuses to be drawn.


Andrew’s friends insist it was a heated row and nothing more. And not for a nanosecond would Mr Johnstone-Burt, the embodiment of discretion and an officer and a gentleman, contemplate spilling the beans.

Speculation has swirled inside the Palace and beyond since The Mail on Sunday broke the story, and gossip was further stoked last week by the release of Mr Johnstone-Burt’s name along with a version of events strongly suggesting that he, and not the Duke, was out of line. One newspaper reported that the Duke ‘squared up’ to Mr Johnstone-Burt.

The Mail on Sunday reported last week that the Duke got upset because he was told that what he wanted wasn’t possible. That turned out to be a room at Buckingham Palace for his Pitch@Palace initiative, which helps connect entrepreneurs with potential patrons. He was told it was fully booked.

here are differing accounts of what happened next.

Palace sources have tried to paint the incident as a ‘minor tiff’, with Andrew – under intense pressure over his links to Epstein – apparently ‘fine’ about being denied a room. Some might find this report difficult to swallow, however.

Why, say other sources, would Prince Charles have to ask his brother to apologise if it was just a little contretemps?

They are also sceptical of the claim that Andrew turned on Mr Johnstone-Burt only after he ‘started speaking his mind about Pitch@Palace’.

That Mr Johnstone-Burt, with a strong sense of duty and steeped in etiquette, should disparage a senior Royal’s pet project to his face is – according to those who know him – unthinkable. To be fair to Andrew, he has been praised for his venture which claims to have created nearly 6,000 jobs and generated £1.1 million in economic activity.
 
Andrew has never been the poster child for cool, calm and collected when things don't go his way and I can very much imagine Andrew blowing up over not getting the room he wanted. After all, he's a *prince* by golly.

This is just my gut feelings on the matter but its not putting Andrew in any kind of a good light whatsoever no matter what *did* happen.

If I understand this correctly, then Prince Andrew was denied access to the Buckingham Palace. Well, that would be an affront! But he should have better asked mommy, why he was denied a room - because she is the boss.

After he brought Mr. Epstein to Balmoral, I have my ideas, "Why"...
 
Most likely the room that Andrew wanted to use for a Pitch@Palace event had already been scheduled for use for something else and wasn't available. I don't think Andrew would have just been told "no" unless there was a valid reason he couldn't have that room.
 
It reads to me as if he asked for a room for Pitch@Palace and was told 'no'. He seemed ok with that - according to the DM's article the other day - and then something else was said that lead to words being exchanged.

The DM article today seems to contradict the article from the other day but that is the DM - didn't get the negative comments expected on an article about Andrew and so they had to run it again with a new twist.

I suspect that Andrew is fully aware that there are times when rooms aren't available and accepts that decision - especially at the moment when even his siblings have had to move their offices to St James'. He probably knows the situation way better than anyone at the DM.
 
:previous:All this that Iluvbertie has said.

I could have sworn this disagreement was discussed when the original article came out but I can’t find it now. Maybe it was in the wrong thread and got deleted.

IMHO an article in the DM can never be a fact to hang your opinion on. It is, as always, filled with palace sources which could be a dorgi or the result of the author's imagination. My money is on the dog!
