Well I have to say I can understand the citizens of York!
Me too
I just wish the UK could get rid of the whole rotten âRoyal Familyâ and become a republic with a written constitution.
Well i don`t blame them,hope they succeed.
York is my local city and I havenât heard many folk getting aeriated about the D of Y keeping his title - letâs face it, weâve had plenty of âroyal rum unsâ given that title in the past! -
Charles I and Henry VIII spring to mind - and the infamous âGrand Old Duke of Yorkâ - whether or not the nursery rhyme relates to Prince Frederick, brother of George IV, he was an old lecher with a dodgy history of his own - he was saved by MPs from criminal prosecution involving his mistress and charges of bribery / selling military commissions - I think he was stripped of his role as Commander in Chief of the British Army as a result.
These Dukes of York have all been inherited or appointed titles from the monarch, usually to the 2nd heir to the throne - and most of âem have been hopeless or hapless and most have come to an unpleasant end eventually!
I think the Queenâs Dad may have been a rare exception to the norm.
I think Andrew is an arrogant tosser but, to be honest, I think Rachael Maskellâs Bill has not a cat in hellâs chance of even getting through the Commons!
She presented the Bill in Parliament on Monday, 20 June - itâs been shoved on the back burner for a Second Reading on Friday 9 December 2022.
Without government backing, it is unlikely to become law.
Perhaps they can exile him to Balmoral and he take his trollopy ex with him.
Well youâve certainly put the whole sorry saga in perspective Boot! Sadly, I suspect you are right about it not getting through Parliament. But at least the publicity will reach his ears, and thatâs not a bad thing. Though I imagine he has absolutely not a shred of shame about him.
Well, Iâm never going to feel right singing the Grand Old Duke of York again
Well there is a parady - Google âPrince Andrew Is A Sweaty Nonceâ - itâs to the same tune ----
Shame? Him? You must be joking.
Got a hide like a rhino.
William and Kate are moving to Windsor not just to be closer to The Queen but to keep an eye on Andrew.
The Queen looks very frail and confused at times.
Spare the rod, spoil the child. He must now realise that he will be superfluous once his brother becomes King, and it is quite nauseating to watch his grovelling.
I have never understood the antagonism toward Markle and hubby but I do toward Andrew.
Having said that York is my least favourite city and they deserve being associated with him. I paid ÂŁ9 for a couple of hours parking to visit the Railway Museum. There appeared to be no free parking in the entire city.
Paying for parking is just unAustralian!
We certainly donât want the sleazy toad - maybe he could go and live with Hairy and MeAgain.
or king of the Australasias (?)
Great idea d00d! He could go and live in Tasmania and be a Tasmanian Devil
Please do NOT bring those two attention seekers into the equation. I reside in Sussex and like many other residents, we loath the fact that the pair adopted Sussex for their handleđ€Ź.
Replace Andrew with someone else as Duke of York would be my preference.
