    He is getting used to it I guess. “Sir” is a pretty big demotion from “your royal highness”.

    His staff are on record as saying they call him “the cunt” when he’s not around. I forget which interview that was but it was a former staff member on a TV interview.

    No matter what they are forced to call you, you’ll always see the contempt in their eyes; not one person smiling to see you walk into the room, ever.

      He’s still uber rich. Between being mummy’s favourite and being the literal shaddy deal’s man for the British government for a while, he probably has more money than he would be able to spend.

      What a bizarre claim to make, that he can’t sweat was it? Obviously not true, he was in the military I think, even as a helicopter pilot he wouldn’t be able to serve if he couldn’t sweat. You wouldn’t be able to live without sweating first time you get some exercize you would get brain damage, or first trip to the subtropics, from the heat. Your balls would get fried too.

      Guy obviously can sweat if he couldn’t he would be like a bubble boy.

        The really incredible thing is that he thought everyone was dumb enough to fall for all the bullshit in that interview. “I have a tendency to be too honourable.” FFS.

          Ah yes, I wonder if there is a word for someone of importance that is surrounded by yes men and yes woman that never gets called on their bullshit and therefore makes dumb arguments because everyone they are in contact with pretends to believe them?

          “I have a tendency to be too honourable.”

          Lol I used to say something like that in response to the dreaded “what is your biggest weakness?” interview question. “Sometimes I care too much.”

        The helicopter pilot was his nephew, Harry. I believe Andrew served in the Navy during the Falklands war.

          Ah thanks I always avoided learning anything about the royal family but someone recently said he was also a helicopter pilot in the falklands, I remember Harry in afghanistan because of those comments he made that got leaked using a slur and whatever else.

          Any which way, you can’t serve in the armed forces in about any capacity if you can’t sweat. They won’t event take flat feet.

          It’s just such an outlandish lie, like that is the best he could come up with? And it doesn’t absolve him either if I recall.

            He claimed it was due to events that happened during the war.

              Yeah sorry I had not actually watched it before, I just did from the link, most of it. Seems incredible to suggest that adrenaline would take away your ability to sweat years after the fact, I would bet everything that’s not true, maybe it would inhibit sweating for 20 minutes or so after a rush.

              But now he can because of all the hard work he put in, or something, as he talks about it around the minute 20 mark of the interview.

              I would like to hear what medical experts say about this not sweating because of adrenaline years prior business. But also I would bet he barely saw any real action that would prompt all the much adrenaline, I bet they gave him safe jobs because they didn’t want the royal killed on their watch.

    This Saxon Royalist shit heap deserves to be buried in an unmarked grave. Ideally without building a parking lot over his insipid pedophilic corpse so as to deny him even identification after centuries of disgraced death.

      While I appreciate the sentiment, I wouldn’t want future archaeologists to waste time trying to identify the nonce. Carve his name and crimes on his bones before he’s buried in an unmarked grave

      Edit: also Saxon? I thought the British royals were descendents of Charlemagne, who famously killed the Saxons.

        Sir Christopher Lee was descended from Charlemagne more closely than most, but the British Royal family is just a branch of the Von Hohenzollerns having renamed themselves after due to political reasons. Also I was using the term Saxon as a reference to southern England which was settle by the Saxon tribes while northern England was settled largely by the Anglo tribes.

    I’d literally tell him to “fuck off I’ll call you Nonce Andrew, and if you threaten me I’ll go to the press and tell them even more shit that will get you in prison, you fucking nonce. Now get on your knees and apologise. And then I’d film it, and send it to the press”

        The existence of royals means the state that has them believes people are not born equal, therefore any state with royalty does not actually believe in human rights or enforce them by definition.

          Bang on point. During this debacle the royals have maintained that it wont affect the larger royal family, because it’s not a family business. While declaring that god appointed them above all else by virtue of being from the royal family. It’s time to get rid of them. And I don’t just mean eject them and let them run with the money and property. Every last penny in reparations. This foreign occupation of the UK has gone on too long.

          An unfortunate (to understate things more than a little) hold over from the days when the royals were the state.

          Given that the MET police have been implicated in the files, and their current stance of “We are arresting you for holding a sign that says you’re against genocide” It looks a lot like the police don’t believe in human rights either.
