A freeloading parasite
The cost of the Monarchy to each citizen is less than 2-pounds a year. Stand by your beautiful strength, the Monarchy! Believe me, the revenue it draws to your country is substantially more than it takes to maintain it. As small as you are, as limited your exportations, you will fade into the washing laps of the shoreline without this Monarchy. Not to mention being overwhelmed into oblivion by immigration.
Grow up Andrew, deal with it. The King’s got better things to do
Prince Andrew and Prince Harry are like dogs with a bone.
👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
👏👏👍Actually more like tiny puppies whining & throwing temper tantrums for a bone when their mouths are too small to hold or carry one.
Spoilt, moronic, entitled, comes immediately to mind with these two low life "Princes".
Don’t you mean ANDREW and HARRY there no more royals ANDREW should be in the premier inn hotel 😂😂😂
Sad! Harry is alright!!!
At Andrew’s age you would think he would want to down size and economize so he can focus on his adult kids and grandchildren. Here’s a thought….get off your arse and do some of the work yourself. What does he do all day? Total disgrace Andrew & Harry. Birds of a feather they are.
No one wants to be forcibly removed from their home, but we're talking about relocating from one mansion to another - if only we all faced such a choice. I think Andrew should swallow his pride, "downgrade" to Frogmore, and just be grateful he's not in jail.
Any evidence for a crime?

Why Scotland Yard dropped its investigation into Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein. The Metropolitan Police will be taking no further action against Prince Andrew following a review prompted by Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the force has confirmed.
Bloom is quoted saying: “The FBI clearly decided it was not going to go after Prince Andrew. That is a decision that had to be made at the highest level.21 Aug 2023
@@mark8544You can’t automatically assume he’s guilty of anything just because he paid out. It’s never been confirmed how much he paid but it’s a substantial sum I’m sure. Any trial would have cost him millions,legal fees are sky high plus sharing his dirty laundry with the world would be an incentive to pay out. I don’t know if he’s guilty of anything he’s never been charged ,nobody else has either which I don’t understand.
No one can tell me he hasnt got the money to pay for renovations! Fergie bought her house in mayfair for five million, why couldnt she spend some of that on royal lodge? She lives there! And dont tell me the queen left andrew nothing in her will and philip left him nothing and the queen mother left him nothing! Why would he pay virginia 12 million if it left him short, and he sold his ski chalet for millions! He doesnt want to fork out, thats all!
His arrogance and over entitled attitude won’t let him move out of a Royal residence! He thinks it is his right!!! Charles needs to grow a pair and actually deal with Andrew and Harry once and for all!!!!
It was the Queen who paid her off.
Lmao..the poor dude has no money to renovate his 🏰 castle... Gimme a break! Should common folks donate now!? 👎🏼
Prince Andrew paid back every penny to the royal coffers. It was a loan and the last payment was made when Prince Andrews ski chalet was sold recently.@@Howdy1957
Cost of living hits hard try living on beans on toast like lots of others .
Fergie has her own pad in Mayfair, why don't they go & crash out there? 🤨👎😡
True. ❤
Or spend that money that she bought that house with on royal Lodge, she lives there after all
Well the way the Yorks have set it up Andrew lives in Royal Lodge, Fergie lives at Royal Lodge both at tax payer’s expense! Why move to a place where they would have to pay their own bills? Their daughter, can’t remember which one also lives in a Royal residence despite being married to a multi millionaire! Get them all out!!!
You are too clever and the royals stupid notvyo work that out
@@susanodonohue5661the Mayfair house was purchased by Sarah, Eugienie and Beatrice at equal shares.
I care about the royal scoundrels as much as they care about me. Sweet FA
You might complain if you had to fund a Head if State and lose all the money received from the Royals so have to pay a lot more in Taxes. There are 11 Working Royals delivering c2000+ Royal engagements and funding themselves from their family properties, inheritances and investments. King Charles is Patron of c400+ charities and supports many of them with funding.
Sounds like a whole lot of B S ...
Poor little spoilt rich Prince.
Im sure he has plenty of money that was left to him by his mother, father and his grandmother.
These people really do make me sick.
Pathetically sad individual what have you done for your country? Apart from moaning
Has the Queen estate been settled,?
POOR ANDREW....I CANNOT GET THE COUNCIL TO FIX MY FLAT.
I keep getting emails from an agency to get my flat fixed. However, I don't even have a flat!
he was given a lavish property when he got married, he sold that and moved into royal lodge. he also sold a very expensive chalet in verbier. he could buy a large dwelling himself if he doesnt want frogmore, it is hardly a slum dwelling is it? (sarcasm ) profits from previous properties?)
Of COURSE Royal Lodge was always intended for the Prince of Wales. Andrew was never intended to live in Royal Lodge. He was given a marital home by the Queen which he then sold and then pleaded for Royal Lodge. He had a growing family then but now he is a SINGLE man living alone except for a rather strange lodger living there free of charge. The Royal Lodge, obviously, should be for Ptince William and his family to grow up in. Andrew is utterly selfish.
The Cambridges already have FOUR luxurious huge residences. They don’t need Royal Lodhe although they want it anyway.
Cry me a river. 🎻
Let him pay for it himself, as we all do. We don't like him.
King wants him out and he is refusing to leave. This is His Majesty's way of forcing him out. Well Done!
He needs to move out if he cannot afford repair payments, it's a disgrace and no one wants to help from their hard-earned money in form of tax
Maintenance of a Royal heritage property should not be paid for by anyone but the Royal purse.
Of course if you don’t care about heritage then why not sell it? I believe at the end of the day it belongs to the people
NO SWEAT ANDREW.😂😂😂😂 I BET HE HAS NEVER SWEATED IN HIS LIFE.
Faf totally agree 😂😂😂
😆😆😆
None of them have!
Meghan Markle has a few million she could give him.
Yes and we the people here in the U.K. Should start a go fund me for him. Poor guy, it's not his job to renovate nothing, it's the people's responsibility. Leave him alone .
Prince Andrew and Mayor Khan should share the same cell in the Tower of London.
⛏️🥰🤣🤣🤣
Royal lodge is a heritage property & regardless who lives there it should be maintained in good repair.
There are lots of things members of the RF “should do,” but they do precisely as they wish.
He should pay for the repair him shelf not the king Charles.
The former butler appears to have had a lot of work done!!! Barely recognisable!!! 🙄
I honestly simply can’t understand why UK tax payers have to cover the massive cost of renovating and maintaining the multiple grand homes and properties of the Royal family. These are exceptionally wealthy people. Why are they not responsible for the cost of their own housing?
Taxpayers don't pay. The Crown Estates profits are share 25% Sovereign grant 75% value c£200 million per year, to government to run the country.
The Royal family do not own Windsor or Buckingham Palace so maintenance is paid from the sovereign grant. Balmoral and Sandringham is owned by the Royal family so they pay for the maintenance themselves.
@@user-midlander I appreciate the explanation. I most certainly have no ill wishes toward the Royal family but as a Canadian it’s very difficult to understand why one family requires so many huge estates with multiple mansions and untold staff. Here in Canada the royals neither harm us nor help us so we’re just as indifferent toward them. It’s just a cultural difference that’s difficult to understand.
I thought we were told Andrew resisted leaving Royal Lodge partly because he had personally spent millions on its renovation and repairs. It seems the media strives to confuse us.
Has he been there since his marriage to Fergie?
Poor Andrew! Let’s get that sorted for you, mate. Pick another publicly funded estate to call home! Keep us updated on your financial needs as we’re always looking for ways to keep you living in the custom to which you are used to; said very few Brits, ever!
How does a former butler of Charles's have any idea about what is currently going on inside the royal family....? And it has been known for some time that Royal Lodge is in need of a new roof and urgent damp treatment, as the last time it had any maintenance done was when Andrew moved in 20 years ago. So this is not news. If Andrew has a repairing lease, he is liable to pay for the maintenance and if he doesn't, he is in breach of his contract and can, presumably, be evicted. If not, it is not an issue as the Crown Estate, as landlords, will have to stump up the cost of the work. The only way that KC3 is involved is that he is, so far as is known, no longer paying Andrew the the £250K annual living allowance that the late Queen was paying him to compensate for no longer being in receipt of a Sovereign Grant allowance as a working royal, without which Andrew claims he cannot afford to pay to maintain Royal Lodge out of his own funds - which rather implies that he does indeed have a repairing lease. In addition, KC3 is currently still paying the £3million cost of providing Andrew with the 24/7 security at Royal Lodge that he refused to give up when royal security was reviewed in 2011, which the late Queen then agreed to pay for herself. The reason the cost is so high is because Royal Lodge with its grounds of 30+ acres is so large it requires 3 separate security teams to cover it all. Clearly, it would make sense for Andrew to move to a smaller property that he can pay for himself without being supplemented by his brother and his wife, but it seems that although he has plenty of vanity, he has no pride at all.
Oh poor....Andrew.......my council flat is damp and mouldy.😮😮😮😮
Then move
@@kismit100he can’t move all the council properties go to f…. Immigrants. We have hard working people who can’t get or afford a house because immigrants have them.
@@kismit100good one ❤.😂
🤣🤣🤣
Why should the British tax payer foot the bill just because its an old building on the Monarchy grounds ? Any British citizen get their old house renovations paid for by the Monarchy/taxpayer?
Asking for a friend.
YA..
WE ALL LIVE IN CASTLE,S ON COUNCIL ESTATE S.
😂😂😂😂😂
Cheer,s
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄!
Andrew should be in Jail..I dont care what anyone says.
Get him out!!! His sleazy, corrupt and over entitled behaviour is sickening and he should be held accountable! No matter that he wasn’t actually charged with anything but the mere fact that he thought it perfectly fine to be friends with a convicted sex offender! We are told Andrew has spent his own money doing repairs and has put a lot into the mansion well he lives there and enjoys the updated version and where did the money come from to do the renovations??? Andrew and Harry should be in the tower!!!
The Queen can’t protect him anymore. The man needs to be removed. He and his common wife are grifters. Entitled and privileged and his homely daughters. The York family needs to be stopped.
POOR POOR ANDREW..WHAT YOU GOING TO DO....EAT IN A SOUP RUN...THAT BIT OF BREAD WILL DO.
Parasites
There's a prison cell in New York with his name on the door😂😂😂😂
If Andrew won’t vacate as requested, then he bares the responsibilities to take care of it. It is not the king’s responsibility.
Very upsetting. Let him sleep in his old banger.........
The so-called English representatives of their archaic monarchy persuaded the government to exempt the institution from Freedom of Information ( FOI ) laws.
Correspondence with the leader, whether seismic or harmless, is banned from disclosure.
Parliamentary criticism of conduct of any of their members, no matter how disgraced, is prohibited.
This is not democracy.
If the British islands continue to have a so-called leader of its archaic institution as its head of state, surely its citizens should have access to information about what exactly they do for the citizens of the country.
Mr Harold has not done his homework. Royal Lodge has 17 bedrooms. It's BIG. Andrew has to pay for none of the rent but all of the maintenance on Royal Lodge because he signed a lease which said so. He cannot afford that maintenance.
Probably should get a job like the rest of us
@@thecarpetman7687😂❤
It's 30 rooms and 7 bedrooms...not the 17 you quoted.
@@thecarpetman7687 Prince Andrew is 63 so nearly a pensioner, not sure where he could get s job. He did 25 years in the Royal Navy and served in the Falklands war, on the front line with front line duties. So he has a Navy pension and is a naval veteran.
You haven't done your homework. Royal lodge is 30 rooms with SEVEN bedrooms. His wife had a breast removed and now has malignant skin cancer. Andrew is 63. A little kindness might be in order.
It's not a free country anymore. Protesting is not a right unless it suits the powers that be. Especially in London. Royalist, by the way.
He certainly,like harry deserves damn all
As far as I am aware, I might be wrong, the conditions of the lease state that the occupant is liable for all restoration not the Crown Estate.
Reform 😂😂😂😂
He needs to move! Frogmore is completely renovated and he doesn’t need a 20 room mansion anymore. KC needs to pay for the repairs and get Wales family into it
Everyone forgets the sussexes paid for that
Why does he and Fergie need such an enormous place to live? When you think about it's a bit over the top considering theres only the two off them. Surely moving into Frogmore would suit them more.
Neither of them work for a living. They don't need to be in London At All!!! Ship them off to a 2 room cottage in Scotland
,£6 BILLION ON RESTORING THE HOUSES OF PARLIMENT WE PAID FOR IT.
It's a historic building
What else do you expect,it’s our Parliament building.
Are you blind?
I am fast becoming a republican whilst charles is king. Ive always been a royalist but im sick and tired of charles doing nothing about harry and meghan ie are their kids born of a surrogate and why are they still in the line of succession and everything else hes ignoring, and andrew and all this about the house crumbling around him. I wish william was king now.
Andrew is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the Lodge, that was one of the conditions he could stay there.
I feared exuberance of the Royal Family that nobody wanted to criticize Queen Elizabeth for would all fall on Charles. She should have dealt with those embarrassments Fergie and Andrew long ago.
Hoping that finally Andrew may understand that it's time to move elsewhere Is too optimistic, isn't It? 🙄
Andrew doesn't have anything to do, so why can't the man turn his hand to some DIY. Oh I forgot the man has never had a real job and never got his hands dirty working. ?
That would be funny. I'm sure he thinks that type of thing is benieth him.
He has the lease, and I see it as being HIS Responsibility to repair the building!!!
My flat is freezing..and im.starving.
😥😥😥😥 GET A JOB
Same .but let's all feel sorry for the entitled ones
But has a phone/computer with Internet access. Priorities
@kismit100 I worked 50years and I'm now retired I've done my bit .
👏👏👏
Millions have already been spent on Andrews house. How much more has it been falling apart. Hard to imagine.
Poor Andy - since Mummy passed he has nobody to listen to him whine - and coz he's being watched the fortnightly trips to Epstein Isle have been postponed - life is hard for the Super Rich
Oh my heart bleeds not
All cudos to King Charles, Queen Camilla for the sterling way they have both handled the Kings cancer diagnosis. It is a REAL TEST. Take Care and God Bless You Both and Catherine, Princess of Wales, Prince William and their lovely family.
Piffle
Absolutely right.
Yes! Neither of them want sympathy - their generation WORKS and is not interested in drawing out holidays and taking off time from duty when not necessary. We need you King Charles - a strong example of getting on with things no matter the things life throws at you!
You call cutting ribbons " working " do you. ? Tsk Tsk
Starmer needs to clip the Royal wings😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You have money Andrew use it and fix it yourself
WAVE..POINT...REALLY HARD WORK...TRY BEING A BIN MAN.
neutral diplomats representing uk st home and abroad, attracting trada industry and tourism. you want the american system where presidents end up in court for various activities. thry are good national examples for the country?
I sincerely think Prince Andrew should join the Hare Krishnas and go live at Watford
Prince Andrew was a pawn manipulated by Epstein, in a bid to embarrass the Royal Family. On today's standards, Andrew is a good guy tricked and compromised in the pool at the W. He should feel forgiven and lead a normal, simple, decent life with Fergie, Eugene and Beatrice. Maybe he should go and live with the other Royals.
THE MEDIA KISSING ASS.
The Grand old Duke of York,
He paid twelve million quid,
To someone he never met,
For something he never did!!!!
Glad us pensioners can help bail the tax dodgers out
Oh my heart bleeds .the poor entitled Prince can't afford the up keep of his mansion ..I can't pay my rent this month .but no mind poor Prince Andrew..
Andrew is so arrogant and entitled
Didn’t the late queen leave money to Andrew to maintain the lodge?
FCSake, she GAVE Sunninghill Park to Baby Andy and Freeloading Fergie for $250,000 lbs, which they ran into the ground until it sat vacant and beyond repair. And you think Moneybags QEII should pay for Baby Andy & Freeloading Fergie to move for free into BIGGER digs?
Maybe if hadn’t paid £11 million to a lady he has supposedly never meet he could have used that
I couldn't care less about the royals
Me neither Mark!
I am glad you care for rotten khan and Rayner
The Royal Family stands for more than tradition, history, and stability. The unique contribution to the civilized, and emerging world cannot be overestimated. Why? There will always be those who “rule”. This Constitutional Monarchy is a quiet “light upon the hill”. As long as it holds its moral, and social head high, its value remains. It will be toppled from within, not without. That’s why the pruning of Andrew, and Harry has been crucial. As well as, the overcoming power of commitment in the face of the near disastrous divorce of Charles, and Diana. A careful investigation will lead one to suspect a Providential Hand, in preserving this truly rich national icon, is at the helm.
Grant is always, without exception, a well informed and knowledgeable guest! Pleasure to listen too.
ANDREW....CAN I MOVE IN....IM HOMELESS?
Well kick him a few quid Chucky Boy, or kick him out. It's not like Andrew has any marketable skills.
Aww poor baby Andrew my house is council and it’s falling to bits but hey let’s all worry about the state of Andrews mansion I’m hoping that we the taxpayers don’t end up paying for the repairs they’re all very wealthy landowners with properties all over the world let them pay for it themselves
It’s things like this that make me want a republic 1 property and that’s it the money saved will amount to billions
It's a Crown Estate Property, so they pay for any building work, like they did for Frogmore Cottage for Harry before his wife wanted extra features, like a gym, yoga studio, orangery etc.
It needs repairing regardless … certain things get done by estates
Why does Andrew need 30 bedrooms?? His daughters are married! King Charles tried to evict Andrew so that Prince William and Princes Catherine and family could live there!!
Charles loves to sit back and do nothing about harry and andrew.
Andy .....do what the rest of us lowlife have to do.....get a job to pay for it
The plan was for Andrew to go to Frogmore. Fergie is better now. Time to move.
I've heard there's a lovely prison cell in New York with his name on the door😂😂😂😂
Have they charged him with anything.

This is not true what your saying??? Please speak the truth and stop making stories up!!!!
??
Let us welcome Prince,Andrew in another chance
Its obvious that Andrew relied on his Mother to bail him pot at times. He needs to stand on his own 2 feet
I understood that, as part of Andrew's lease agreement, he has to undertake to keep Royal Lodge in a good state of repair - if he can't, he is not complying with his lease agreement and can be evicted. He does not have the money to pay ....
It’s quite interesting to see that he treats it like everybody else who who lives in rented accommodation does, he just lives there and expects the landlord to maintain it
He can always go to Frogmore
Apparently and allegedly Prince Andrew has a 75 year lease. Although CROWN properties are a regulated rent, he still has to pay and substantial amount, along with CERTAIN UPKEEP repairs. So there is obviously a contract of who is responsible for what like any rental agreement - but as a listed building it makes upkeep more expensive, hence the reason to suggest Andrew lives in Frogmore, which has already been substantially renovated! and we all know the logic behind that. And had been gifted a wedding present of Sunningdale but that is obviously long gone & the ''dosh'' associated it with it.
Sunningdale was on the market at 12 million, it sat for years because it was hideous, someone likened it to the Tesco frontage. Andrew went to the Middle East supposedly on behalf of the British government, however, despite many attempts to find out exactly what he was doing there and who it was he was meeting no one will know as Andrew’s records are sealed until 2064! After that little trip Sunnigdale was purchased for 3 million over the asking price by someone who never went near the place and eventually it was raised to the ground where the land stands vacant! Andrew Lownie and Norman Baker are two of the researchers trying to find out what Andrew was up to for years under the guise of special envoy to the British government! Their books are a real eye opener! If Andrew wasn’t who he is then he would probably be in jail!!! It’s a shame the FBI haven’t managed to serve him despite their many tries!
@@alexandracameron7062 Indeed it was!! Yep - what another web Andrew created. I wonder how long it took for Meghan to realise that even as the SPARE - it is not a question of all the glitters is GOLD! Sarah and Andrew are a true example that ROYAL life is not all its cracked up to be.
Yes, accordingly to our tabloids he paid 250 pounds per month. It was rented to him for 75 years. They wanted him to live in frogment cottage. Andy would never downgrade so low, as a matter of fact, he won't dear live in a cottage like that.
@@tweetyslife253 It would be far more that £250 a month! CROWN properties had to align (with in reason) to normal rent rates. But the tenant is responsible in CROWN properties for substantial upkeep of a listed building & its requirements that isn't usually normal. But nevertheless cheaper than if rented commercially. This is why Andrew can't afford the upkeep - because it is his responsibility and not CROWN properties.
@@andrearoyd2942 yes its that per week. i read it on dailym yesterday.
GOOD JOB..THE KING DID NOT HAVE TO GO TO THE 100 DEMOLISHED HOSPITAL S.
No. He paid his income tax to fund the NHS and then paid again to get seen in a private hospital. Get in to the 650 MPs PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS, to manage the safety and well being of the country. Its there responsibility and they seem to have forgotten!
What demolished hospitals, more are being built where I live.
Oh Andrew does have a lease, but it’s HIS Responsibility for up keep…
NEVER WORKED HARD..IN THIER LIVE S.
Should move to Neverland get the rides back open
🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea should help him repair that property
Eugenie is her dad's daughter( sky and smarmy) and she married a dopey sly snake ( my humble opinion)
* sly
Spot on she is so common like her mother a homely woman
Ask William for a loan from his one Billion pound estate...or the £16 million his mom left....mean while we go to the food bank.😮
TRY WORKING IN A FACTORY.
That was the agreement for Andrew. He had to keep it maintained, and that was the provision of his staying there.
GO TO MOTEL 6..THEY LEFT THE LIGHT ON FOR YOU ANDREW 😅😅😅😅😅
The whole clan are grifters
He should convert it to a neverland theme park to bring in some cash
The biggest story on GB news this morning
Andrew isn’t facing eviction, he knows too much about Charles.
Same with the Duke of Edinburgh when he couldn’t get rid of the art historian (Andrew Blunt).
SWEAR I SAW CHARLE,S WORKING AS A BIN MAN.
