Prince Andrew, Duke of York News and Events 8: Sep 2022 -


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
The Duke of York was seen on the Windsor Estate yesterday, February 2:

 
Prince Andrew either looks ‘serious’, ‘pensive’ or ‘grinning’, every time he’s out, according to the DM! What sort of expression is he supposed to have, and more importantly, why is the DM photographer taking a photo of this man practically every time he goes horseback riding? Public interest? Don’t think so!
 
I wish they'd stop talking about Prince Andrew. Two Members of Parliament have been suspended for making vile comments in a Whatsapp group. The Bishop of Liverpool's stepped down over allegations of sexual assault. Let the press go and hassle them instead, and leave Andrew to ride his horse in peace!

He can ride his horse in peace. But he could also stop trying to raise money through shady deals with shady business men. See news today about pitch@palace.

Umm, is it illegal? Would you blame him? The man is hunted for being a royal for things other high profile in the same incident getting little to no backlash with everyone and their mother calling for him to be cut out of the royal family, finance and evicted of his house.
Would you blame him if he tried to secure finances through connections to maintain security, life style and home?

I think he’s rich enough that he doesn’t need to embarrass his family further.
 
Wasn’t he recently seen as delusional for wanting to stay in house while he can’t afford it, so is he rich or delusional?
Compared to the vast majority of the population he’s incredibly rich and privileged. And to think that he can carry on with these sorts of deals when there is a microscopic lense over every financial arrangement he makes; makes him very delusional.

His incapacity to read the room; the requests of his family; and the country at large is astonishing.

His lack of remorse is astounding.

Very few people are rich enough to maintain a 30 room, 7 bedroom, Grade II listed house.

Very few people are offered a free newly renovated four bedroom home which would only have two occupants as an alternative to their 7 bedroom.

Given Prince Andrew’s very poor judgement, it would be in his best interest to live a quiet life in a lifestyle he can afford/the King is willing to maintain.

Though I agree it shouldn’t be newsworthy every time the man leaves his house for the rest of his life.

I think the problem is his ego. As the son of the late Queen he probably feels (IMO) entitled to live the life he was supposed to have. I may be wrong but wasn't the house a gift from his mother with a very long lease? So maybe he thinks his brother has no right in trying to get him to relocate.
 
The man is scrutinized for walking with his family to a church service or riding a horse, so I don’t blame him if he is tired of trying to look remorseful, the fact that is seen in public seems to make people think he is arrogant for merely being seen.

So I won’t blame him if he is trying to look after himself and his family, downgrading to a lesser house would be cute for those who are calling for it but would that do anything to his reputation? If he is moving to a tent the people will still criticize him so I don’t blame him if he say to hell with all I’m not a governmentally employed or part of the so called “working royals” so am going to make money if i can through connections and for sure am not going. to leave my house and downgrade cause some people online doesn’t like that!

This approach is precisely how Andrew came to be friends with Jeffrey Epstein.

The point is that it is always shady people with him. Connections to shady people that got him into trouble and connections to shady people that he is now getting money from.

No, as a disgraced royal he does not need to maintain this lifestlye and house, because it only embarasses his family further. It all goes back to his immense entitlement that leads him to think that he deserves the lifestlye of an heir or similar position, when he is not the heir and now not even a working royal.

If he uses shady money to maintain a royal property on royal land, it's not just private dealings that have nothing to do with the Royal Family. If he did the same for a private property far away from the rest of the Royal Family, it would still be embarassing but less so.
 
I think Andrew and Sarah, she seems to drop out of sight and he takes the flack, want a 'high-rolling' lifestyle and the younger children of monarchs in this country didn't always have that. Sarah was living the jet-set life at least in part before she dated Andrew and I remember the pictures in the 80's after the wedding of her being seen on shopping sprees in Knightsbridge. Money and the trapping of it are clearly a big thing for her but if she had married Millionaire X it wouldn't have seemed as good as marrying a 'Royal' but she would have had the luxury life she wanted. I think more she wanted the title but she couldn't settle for less than Diana had easily so she over spent. Diana I think wasn't actually that materialistic and was happy with M&S and high street clothes before she married, later the budget was there when she was 'Mrs Wales' to have nice things and it maybe felt like a comfort after a while.

I mention Diana only because the back-story she and Sarah where 4th cousins, with grandparents as 2nd cousins who knew eachother from childhood and they where also friends. I think Sarah wanted what Diana had in terms of the status and financial security but Diana maybe actaully didn't herself. So there was jealousy of Diana from Sarah and then after the Andrew and Sarah wedding Andrew slowly starts to become jealous of Charles and his position but when he was younger he was relaxed and had no issue with it. Somebody has 'green eyes' as the old saying goes.
 
May I have more informatins about Lady Diana and Sarah engagement Rings. I suppose both from Garrads.
Is it a Choice or a Surprise ?

Sounds exactly like the next generation where Harry seemed perfectly happy with his life until his wife pointed out that he shouldn't be treated as second best.
 
If you go back two generations Elizabeth, Duchess of York and Alice, Duchess of Gloucester seem to have understood they didn't marry the main heir, but there was a possibility for Elizabeth as people thought David may not have children (this kept under wraps privately) from what I've understood in the past. They got on with their families, lives and learning being a supporting Royal doing duties. So not everyone gets these ideas.

I heard Diana chose hers off a tray of several rings as Charles didn't know and wanted her to have something she liked. I don't know if that is true or what happened with the Yorks.

To me there is a difference - when he met Epstein he was a working royal, the late Queen was meeting his costs in return for doing official duties just as happens now with Sophie & Ed and Anne. So he was being greedy then by trying to earn even more money and lead an even more jet style life by relying on rich friends even though he was getting more than enough support as a working royal,

I do think its not a sustainable position to expect Charles to not give him any money but for Andrew not to make his own money somehow. What he is doing now by selling his contact list in effect isn't illegal and is basically the only thing he has left to make money from. I don't like him at all but the situation as it was left on the late Queen's death was wholly unsustainable in many ways.
 
Okay so can someone help me find the reason behind thinking a 30 room house with 7 bedrooms being seen as too grand for a second son of a monarch but the 120+ rooms of Bagshot parks is okay for a third son even though it’s larger than Clarence House or Highgrove house!

Also what is expected for him to seem remorseful, should a Game of Thrones style walk of shame be enough? Renouncing his titles and style? Moving into a tent? Becoming a celibate monk? Would doing all of that help him avoiding scrutiny for merely walking with his family to a church service or riding horses on his property?

I did read about the pitch@palace new business he is doing and nothing seems illegal when it come to it.

As for the issue with the royal lodge it’s a self inflicted wound, before there was a leak from the palace about the king trying to move him out, I never heard any complaints about him living there!
 
OK for the house size, I don't know if I should say as maybe private or a securiry thing but Edward and Sophie apparently live or lived in 1/3 or 1/4 or their place and rest was sectioned off into self contained large flats and rented out to people who where security vetted. This may be what happens at a large part of KP in the future.

Andrew had a large house bought by the late Queen and she also bought Sarah at least one. All sold for cash then they wanted another house from the Crown estate. Although divorced Sarah apparently pushed (and insisted in living with Andrew - people think he wasn't able to move on to a sensible 2nd as she never really left) to be able to live on Royal Windsor land as she knew the value.

She has a number of other houses shared with Andrew, Portugal, Spain, New York and fornerly Switzerland and 1 or 2 homes in London. Edward and Sophie, for all anyone knows just have Bagshot they earn rental on and get to stay over at Balmoral, Sandringham. Edward and Sophie look to be small spenders by comparison who have the odd skiing holiday.

I don't know if it's true but Andrew was said to have received a large amount of financial support from the Queen but needs more.

When they had to sell the half chalet in Switzerland the French owner of the other half and originally all the property said almost nothing had been paid on the mortgague of their half so I have no knowledge with what or how they pay for all those houses. It would need an investigation team to look at. I have relatives in real estate but I don't understand how the Yorks do what they do.

Wouldn't that be the sold and now demolished Sunninghill Park?

I googled it: The Queen bought it for Prince Andrew's wedding. It was later sold to an oligarch for 17 million €uro (roughly 17 million us-Dollar).

But it sounded, like another one was but later...?
