Prince Andrew Stripped of Royal Titles

[chr0naut]

No detraction from accepted and legal process is intended...

I hope the citizens were OK with it... and not just the media drones.

Not all citizens of Australia were happy with it. I wasn't at the time. I still believe that the Governor General acted with insufficient reason and under the pressure of, and fed misinformation by, the CIA and governmental opposition.

But it does demonstrate how a monarchy can protect the constitutional democracy of a federated state from falling into tyranny, and also without bloodshed.

In the case of the dismissal of the Whitlam government in Australia, I thought that the government's ultimate goals were initially good, but it became obvious that they were sourcing funding from dubious sources, to which they had become beholden, and once you start down a slippery slope, you usually fall heavily. That being said, I am unsure that the Whitlam government would have had issues except due to the opposition blocking supply and causing the funding deficit.

"Now then, now then," it's not any sort of excuse or justification, but it is a valid point.

"Experts" claim Charles is under pressure to exile Andrew.

Story Here

Sounds like gossip to me but ... just what would a King 'exiling' his brother look like in the modern world?  Ship him off to Australia?  Or just tell him he's no longer welcome at court and that he can keep living rent free on one of the many royal estates?   News articles say Charles is actually paying Andrews rent because Andrew has so screwed up his finances that he can't afford it.

Send him to Detroit.

Send him to Detroit.

Aren't there a few small deserted Scottish Islands?? That way, we can be sure he doesn't go back to his disgusting ways.

I thought the UK law states that the minimum age for sex is 16? Virginia was 17 at the time of her rape. So why would he lose his titles at all?

I'm not condoning his behavior. Just stating the facts.

It's his lying through his teeth that pisses a lot of us Brits off.

That and the fact that he is an arrogant, self entitled, fat sweaty turd

Yes.  Maybe the one where they tested Anthrax?

Put him on one of those rocks.

And he's apt to tamper with the baby haggis population.

Send him to Little Saint James.

I'm sure he knows the way off by heart.

There's always Antarctica!!  There he can freeze his nuts off and we'd have no worry of him causing anymore 'trouble' for young women!!

Aye, but the penguins will need to make for open water rather sharpish.
