We all had some good laughs at the reporting around Prince Andrew last week, but let’s be very clear about something: the Queen and the machinery around the Queen are absolutely hellbent on rehabilitating Andrew’s image, and reintroducing him to royal society. Andrew has been staying full-time at the Royal Lodge at Windsor this year, and he spends time with his petty, out-of-touch mother constantly. He’s convinced her that he needs a comeback, and the people around the Queen are tentatively allowing these stories to come out, basically to take the public’s temperature about where Andrew stands one year after his debacle BBC interview. We also know that the palace is putting up a fight about any of Andrew’s patronages trying to drop him, like that prestigious yacht club which wants the Duchess of Cambridge as their patron now. Now the Sun reports that Andrew has been visiting the Queen under cover of darkness:
Prince Andrew is making secret visits to see the Queen under cover of darkness as he plots a return to public duty. His latest night-time trip to Windsor Castle took place last Tuesday. The scandal-hit prince is said to be confident he will be cleared of any wrongdoing over his links to dead paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein and is arranging a comeback.
Andy, 60, held a Covid-secure meeting with the Queen, 94, last week, arriving after dark.
One insider said: “This looked like a deliberate attempt not to be seen.”
He quit senior royal duties last November after his “car crash” Newsnight interview.
And a source said: “What he wants and what the family are prepared to discuss are probably at odds.”
It’s interesting to consider the divergence of interests within the family and the royal courtiers in this situation, which is what we saw with the Sussexit too. All of these different “courts” arguing for different things. With Andrew’s situation, his mother has ALWAYS been on his side. She didn’t even want to fire him – she only did it because Charles put his foot down, and as soon as Andrew stepped down, the Queen has been hellbent on rehabilitating his image. So, nothing has changed. Except now the rest of the family and the courtiers are like “Andrew is NOT coming back.” What if Petty Betty keeps pushing the issue though?

And while they talked, they ordered a late night pizza from the Woking Pizza Express. And they sat around in PJs and braided each others’ hair. Then they talked about boys. Nothing to see here, totally innocent.
Seriously though, am I crazy for thinking someone (*cough* charles *cough*) is leaking this to sabotage Andy?
Kaiser, I don’t really want to read about him, I just want to thank you for the distraction of an “under the cover of darkness” headline this morning, especially! I needed that!
It is quite funny how Andy who has by far brought in the most scandalous story,no where near
1. Fergie toe gate
2. Sophie bitching about the Queen
3. Charles and Camillas secret tapes
4.Fergie trying to sell royal info
5. Harry las vegas
And so forth but he still remains protected like a baby.
In their eyes, there is nothing worse than marrying a biracial woman. Not the FK admitting adultery a full 18 months before his wife’s iconic interview on TV, not being splashed across the morning papers topless with your toes being sucked, not selling out the RF for cash and calling the queen a cow, being photographed naked playing strip poker with friends or even being taped saying you wish to be someone’s tampon. The full fury of the press and public should be turned on someone who is royal while being black because she married the 6th in line.
@elizabeth regina also add to that, repeatedly wearing skirts that fly up in the wind without wearing underwear and being photographed topless on your balcony for all to see. were Meghan to do either of those, woe betide her!
Fergie literally had to catch a plane away from the Queen the morning the ‘toe-gate’ story broke.
Andy is quite literally being pulled into the fold for abusing underage girls aka children.
Probably because they’re hiding even more shit imo. We know Buckingham called ABC and said kill the story or no Will/Kate access based on that leaked story. My guess is that if we investigate Andrew we will find out more about certain things. If it’s only Andrew, I’m pretty sure he’ll be thrown under the bus. Unless Mom just wants to protect her children. I’m a bit optimistic that Charles will sort it out, but hey idk.
@CC also I suspect Buck Palace felt confident to make that call given their little acolyte in the White House.
Shit’s about to go down……
What the Queen wants the Queen gets!!
The solution is just tell the Queen everything is fine and then Truman Show her. And then have Andrew talk to either a hologram of the Queen or someone dressed up as her.
Solved!
Frankly, let Petty Betty have her Baby-boytoy. She’s what…94? She really will be around what, 10 yrs. max? And there IS still a deadly virus going around w/out end in sight. Could be sooner. Charles will kick his pedo ass out in a spectacular display of contempt/derision when he takes the reigns fully (sooner if he gets declared Regent). Much as I can’t stand PWBT, he’s not overly fond of his Pedo uncle and may do much the same.
The “im just done with everything” side of me just wants to say fine, Queenie. Bring him to all of your engagements if you want him back in. Make it clear how it’s you that’s supporting him and you can be two peas in a pod. The end of your reign will be the Queen and the Teenager Rapist.
But, I know he shouldn’t even be allowed a hole to sleep in, for justice reasons.
Oh I agree. He should be in jail for his part in this all. HE RAPED UNDERAGED GIRLS. UNDERAGE *TRAFFICKED* GIRLS CAN NOT GIVE “CONSENT”. What part of that do they not understand?
They’re all just a bunch of sick f%cks when it comes down to it.
Andrew is the bearer and proof of the queen’s infidelity secret a DNA test by him would reveal all.
I have grown to believe this as well. Andrew looks different in key ways from his siblings and the favor he is granted by his mother is above and beyond anything she has shown her other children, even Edward, whom she also supposedly should have had more time for. But we know from accounts of how she failed to remember or acknowledge Edward’s birthday that she didn’t have the same interest in him and regard for him as she has shown for Andrew.
Her impassioned speech during 9-11 did not seem to mesh with her usual emotional distance from tragic events and instead seemed to have a deeply and uncharacteristically personal resonance that was uncanny in its timing to the passing of the man suspected to be her true love.
Putting it all together, I do wonder about it all.
I almost hope it is true. It’s sad to think she went her whole long life married to allegedly Philandering Phil, who doesn’t even seem to want to share in her company now, and didn’t get in a bit of fun and true love for herself as well as a living legacy to that love. But if this all is true, the results have been catastrophic for justice. Her power to protect him from the consequences of his evil has been shockingly effective so far.
A DNA of Prince Andrew would expose the Queen as he is the child of her racing manager porcher Andrew looks so like porcher’s other child this is known in royal circles but is never discussed to avoid embarrassing the Queen when she dies this might be referred to or in 50 years historians will reveal this.
I’d love to see the results.
Well the Queen actually got pregnant with Andrew after Prince Philip got back from many months at sea, so I doubt very much that she was doing the horizontal mambo with Porchy then.
Well I got some of my information about the Queen’s infidelity with porcher from the same people who said Prince William had an affair arsocractic circles are aware of what goes on behind the scenes and they do reveal.
This, Jaded. He was the makeup baby after fighting and Philip being gone on tour for awhile.
WHAT???!!!
I’ve never heard this before in my life @Rita and @Guest with cat. But it would be totally on brand for the British Royal Family.
The same people who were sure about William’s affair revealed this.
The Crown heavily hinted at this @Betsy. I think this has been gossip for years. Also Philip apparently does not like Andy too much. Anne and Edward are his favourites.
He’s Philip’s, not Porchie’s. He’s her fav because he’s the living symbol of her and Philip getting back together after years of strife over Philip’s role.
@Mignionette – I remember the Porchie storyline now that you and @nota mention it. I just didn’t realize they were hinting that there was an affair.
The British public should ignore and boycott everything he does. Maybe then it will get through to him. Useless, arrogant liar. His meetings with mum aren’t so “secret” now, are they?
I think Andrew makes his long awaited return in April after the sussexes confirm that they won’t be returning to working royal life.
Considering how the Sussexes were treated the Windsors deserve to have this pedo friendly skunk at the Firm picnic. Andy’s funk can’t come over any of them and the monarchs in waiting want him dealt with by Betty. They don’t want the responsibility under their reigns.
I think they are trying to wear the public down. The ‘queen approves’ therefore he isn’t guilty crap they pull all the time simply won’t wash this time. He is loathed by most right thinking members of the public no matter how much he hides under his mummy’s petticoats.
A mother’s love knows no bounds, I guess. Even when your son is a child rapist, a pompous ass and very dishonest in his business dealings. Betty is a dinosaur in a modern age. She certainly doesn’t stand up for other women.
I’m only commenting on this thread because I need a distraction so badly this am. But I wouldn’t even judge Liz for maintaining a close relationship with her favorite son. In private and completely aside from whatever punishments he receives from the RF.
This is where I have landed on this issue, too, though you say it far more eloquently than I can. Even criminals are still entitled to their mother’s love if that’s how their mother feels.
I agree that he should be shunned out of the RF and should face actual prosecution and punishment.
I agree. I can’t think of anything that would stop me from loving my children. But, I would also recognize, in this case that he has made his bed and must now lie in it. His crime is disgusting. There should be consequences.
She can love him all she wants. What she can’t do is abuse her power as monarch and protect him from criminal investigation.
Apparently she can, but she shouldn’t.
It’s 2020 and a dumpster fire. I’m sure he will be trotted back out by her. Now once Charles is King, he’ll be sent back into private (cushy) life.
Lying Bill got rid of his brother you can be sure that if the queen wavers Bill will get rid of pedo.
Paedophilia is not viewed in aristocratic circles in the same way as normal society. So we can’t be sure that William is offended by Andrew’s behaviour. The same goes for Charles, one of his best friends was Jimmy Savile.
I am from the US & didn’t know who Savile was, so I just googled him. That guy looks like a total Paedo – how did any NOT know?
And wasn’t / isn’t the same thing about Charles’ mentor, Mountbatten? It was said he was a Pedo, too. And like the others, never a word was said. No WAY Charles couldn’t’ve known.
It’s not just pedo behavior. It’s sex trafficking and rape. Surely that’s frowned upon in aristo circles?
I’m guessing this story has been leaked by KP to cover for the William “didn’t” have coronavirus story. What is KP hiding?
Yes, the timing is interesting. It comes out of nowhere. Anyway, why would he have to meet with her after dark? He hasn’t been doing so in the recent past.
The British Royal Family and the United Kingdom. Welcoming to sex trafficking paedophiles, but a half Black American woman is where they draw the line. Let him come back, it will only make their demise sweeter if or when justice is finally served on him.
Everytime I read that Prince Charles put his foot down I wish I’d been a fly on the wall when he had that convo with his mother.
“Put his foot down” bah humbug. Wishy washy doesn’t have the balls to take a stand. This has William written all over it imo
