The indefensible. Randy Andy bites the dust.When member of the public questioned value of the monarchy on ITV leaders’ debate, Buckingham Palace had to act
fter years successfully shrugging off questions about his judgement, his business relationships and, more seriously, his association with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew was finally undone not by a newspaper headline or a law enforcement agency, but by a woman called Sue from Leeds.
It was Sue – surname as yet unknown – who submitted a question to ITV’s leaders’ debate on Monday, asking: “Is the monarchy fit for purpose?” Julie Etchingham, chairing the debate between Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson, put the question to the two party leaders, asking for their answers “in as few words as possible, perhaps even a yes or no”.
And with that, the Guardian has learned, the fate of the Duke of York was sealed. It was one thing for newspaper commentators and Twitter observers, in the wake of Andrew’s calamitous interview on Saturday with BBC Newsnight, to savage the prince’s performance, even to describe his position as untenable.
Andrew's goose is well and truly cooked.

When Julie Etchingham pointedly asked: "Is Prince Andrew fit for purpose?" Corbyn weaselled out of answering by saying "Before we discuss Prince Andrew, I think we should discuss the victims who were there". Johnson did the exact same thing using different words.It was Sue – surname as yet unknown – who submitted a question to ITV’s leaders’ debate on Monday, asking: “Is the monarchy fit for purpose?” Julie Etchingham, chairing the debate between Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson, put the question to the two party leaders, asking for their answers “in as few words as possible, perhaps even a yes or no”.

Actually it's worse than that. Shouldn't have been so flippant. The guy's probably a pedo.

He is a nasty sleaze, but perhaps wanting sex with 17 year old girls doesn't quite fit the pedo tag..

Wrong tag indeed, but if you try to teach the public (including reporters, journalists, bloggers etc) the difference between paedophilia, hebephilia and ephebophilia, you'll be pushing shit up the hill.

I was using it colloquially. Mainly because I can't ever remember the correct label.

Re: Andrew's goose is well and truly cooked.
Well I would not be surprised he may find himself on an island like Margaret. The royals solution; hide them away.
A quiet spot where he can entertain a few bimbos. Margaret had her toyboys after all.

Prince Andrew's private office to be moved out of Buckingham Palace
I wonder which island he will get or maybe a croft on the Outer Hebrides.Duke intends to keep working on mentoring scheme despite saying he would step back from public life
Prince Andrew is preparing to leave his private office in Buckingham Palace as he seeks a way to maintain control of an entrepreneurial scheme he set up, despite having agreed to step back from public life.
The palace confirmed on Friday that the Duke of York intended to continue working on the Pitch@Palace scheme, even as Barclays became the latest among a growing number of organisations to sever ties with him over his links to the convicted child sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
“The Duke will continue to work on Pitch and will look at how he takes this forward outside of his public duties, and outside of Buckingham Palace,” a spokesman said on Friday. “We recognise there will be a period of time while this transition takes place.”

They are trying to keep the lid on this one:

One hell of a lot of smoke.Victims’ tsar to query Force’s decision not to act over Prince Andrew claims
The Victims’ Commissioner is demanding that the Metropolitan Police explain its decision not to pursue a full investigation into claims a teenager was trafficked to the UK to have sex with Prince Andrew.
The Observer understands that Dame Vera Baird QC, a former solicitor general and chair of the Board of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, has taken a close interest in the allegations, first examined by Scotland Yard in 2015.
Baird, who has focused on protecting victims of sexual and domestic abuse throughout her career, is currently observing election purdah and cannot speak to the media.
