      I love how much open contempt King Charles has for Andrew, almost makes me patriotic.

      Palace staff (and Charles) knew Andrew was a bad choice for trade envoy.

      Hopefully some of them can be compelling to testify against him.

      Andrew has been a known problem for some time apparently so long that when a royal footman punched Andrew the Queen refused to accept their resignation knowing Andrew no doubt deserved it.

      One possible reading could be … they protected him for so long, until it became inevitable the game was going to be up, at which point they began the process of distancing themselves from him (stripping him of his titles, etc) so that they could eventually be seen to be removed from him and take the moral high ground, protecting the institution of the monarchy.

      TLDR: They threw him under the gold carriage.

      I just hope everyone connected to Epstein gets arrested and the book thrown at them.

      In both cases, being unqualified was the qualification, wasn’t it?

      Obviously you don’t get the Queen’s son to be trade envoy because you think he understands business. You bring him along to parties to have a bit of glamour, tell a few stories from time to time, and generally to spread a bit of royal fairy-dust on otherwise rather boring proceedings. If things go well, then of course you act like his contribution was that he was a great handler of cross-cultural relationships, benefiting the country.

      As for Mandelson, well, you make him ambassador because you know he is mates with some unsavory people that you want to keep informed about. An actual ambassador is a career diplomat, and in this case the guy who does that work just gets a senior job at the embassy instead. Was it a risk? Yes, and it exploded badly. But lets get real here, he wasn’t a normal ambassador, and we knew perfectly well why we wanted him there.

      Now that both have fallen from grace we are pretending they were taking up roles that they should never have had, when we actually had perfectly understandable reasons to have them there. Maybe not good reasons, but reasons that have ordinary and sensible motivations.

      I wonder what the common denominator is. Amazed none of these just threw trump to the wolves for fiddling kids and protected the bigger little web

      Remind me why Mandelson himself hasn’t been arrested yet?

      Oh, Mandy. Well you came and you gave without taking…

      Was Mandelson involved in this “misconduct in public office” offense – besides the recommendation for assignment?

      After all the accusations that Prince Andrew went through…this people think that they are untouchable.

      Not paying to access the article…but is there any actual proof of these claims?

      Seems like a very easy PR win to say the King was against Andrew becoming trade envoy but at the end of the day is there any actual proof?
