- Princess Kate has cancer as does King Charles but this does NOT mean the Royal family is in crisis, according to a royal expert.
Dickie Arbiter, who served as the late Queen Elizabeth II's press secretary for 12 years, believes that despite the unfortunate illnesses the royals are not facing a crisis rather a challenge.
Dickie spoke to the Sun's Royal Exclusive show alongside his daughter, royal commentator Victoria Arbiter.
Watch the video to hear both of their fascinating insights into the Royal family.

The British Monarchy has dealt with far more serious issues: It will survive and thrive.
So agree ! Stop discussing Harry n his wife they are not apart of the monarchy! Amen !
Yes, but the harkles are 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VICIOUS ATTACKS especially towards Catherine.. without the blatant lies and Markles flying monkeys doing her bidding there would be NO ATTACKS..
🎯
celebrating monarchy? join Russia, get out of NATO
Harry will always be a royal..
@@user-gh5xh8dg4j
He was born a royal. That does not make
Meghan a royal*** They agreed to give up
their style of HRH when they left UK and
stopped being full-time working royals.
In any event, she can not be Princess
Meghan because she was not born
a royal. She can only be Princess Henry
But she has no HRH. She can, legally
call herself Meghan Sussex.
Because she was not born a royal, she
is not allowed to call herself Meghan
Windsor.
Katherine, the Duchess of Kent, asked
for her HRH to be revoked (it was anyhow
when she became a Catholic) and to
retire from royal duties*** She calls herself
Katherine Kent. (Although, being married
to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, she is
still the Duchess of Kent.
***She asked for permission to retire from
royal duties and Elizabeth II agreed,
with her blessings for Katherine.
Katherine stopped doing royal duties
because she was going to work (as her personal Christian missionary effort)
in an inner-city school giving free music lessons to impoverished children. She
did that up until very recently. Sadly,
Katherine Kent now has health and mobility issues at this time of her life.
This is not out of order for an older royal.
Most just quietly cut back on their duties.
Prince Philip's mother (a widow) became
a nun. Katherine is doing her own personal
religious journey, while still being a wife
to Edward.
As an American who loves the British Monarchy, I think the whole world likes the stability of the Monarchy!!
I love the country I love the people I love their fish and chips. I love the pomp &
Circumstance, I love the uniforms, the countryside, the palaces, their language, their accent, what I don’t love is Harry and Megan
a Trump voter
Where did you get that impression, second reply? First reply, I agree with you 💯.
you have a constitution and approve of this island having no constitution..
@@user-te1hi9rx7b Britain has no Constitution at all? What does a Constitutional Monarchy mean? I thought it meant working with Parliament. What do you call your Laws of the Land then?
I agree... It's time to let go... Move on... Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer working Royal family...
@@PaulCHAN-vl5nk Why, do we have proof that it should be so?
The California media machine insists they are wanted back and that the king has less than 2 years as per In Touch magazine.
@@juliewade2581 Yes. One thousand years' worth of proof. What proof do YOU have that YOU should be so? Exist at all?
@@JerseyTarotTrendThere were many institutions that existed for hundreds of years or more but have now been abolished. Maybe it’s time to rethink if there is any current use for this institution.
@@LuciaMilan8368 The "institution" these people represent is FAMILY. A Royal Family is just that - a central family from which all families in a tribe or nation are connected. 80+% of all British people are related to the Windsor family by blood, however distant. It is only those interlopers, foreign economic invaders and current colonizers of the UK who rebuke the central Royal Family due to their own glaring lack of connection - or very stupid youth. If you think the institution of Family is outdated, good luck surviving in a world filled with fair weather friends and easily broken human ties. Blood is thicker than water. Always has been. Always will be. Though not for traitorous Harry.
Victoria is so on-point. Media needs to stop talking about the trio when talking about working Royals. They have nothing in common. Public just want to hear about true Royals
"working royals" - delusional
I'm sure they work enough to earn their own living. Media needs to stop talking about parasites
@@sangeet9100 😂😂😂
what true royals....whether they work or not they have the bloodline...
@@user-gh5xh8dg4j but not the principles. That is what makes them true Royals
They are missing Princess Catherine. She is the Jewel in the crown in the RF. hopefully back soon.
PRINCESS CATHERINE IS OUT SHE WAS AT THE CHURCH AND FARM BLESS HER AND SHE IS WORKING FROM HOME GOD BLESS HRH PRINCESS CATHERINE SENDING HER LOTS OF LOVE TO HER AND HRH WILLIAM AND 3 Children ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Canadian here, the Royal Family is having health issues and are being attacked by the horrible Harry and Meghan, but the Royal Family are loved by the UK and the Commonwealth. Plus with the advance of science, we are hopefully the King and the Princess of Wales will recover.
You adore all he murderer but you hate the Sussex who have done nothing
Leave there life in USA far from the English devils
But you lie and talk about them everyday
You are all crazy
H&M are not attacking the royals They attack the journalists who lie and trash them There’s a saying about robbers never attack an empty house What value does H&M have that they are the ones who are being attacked
Another Canadian here I agree 100% with you Jack 🎯
@@jeannelowe480Where is Princess Kate ! The last time she was seen on December healthy !!!
South African here and we love the BRF especially the strong future king in William, his beautiful wife Catherine Princess of Wales and his smart kids ❣️❣️
Well said Victoria, the Sussexes don't belong in the RF, but them finding out about Princess Catherine's illness the same time as the public, shows that
why dont you like Harry...he has royal blood whether hes working or not.....
@@user-gh5xh8dg4jhe deserted his family and is a real piece of work.
Harry and Meghan are members of the royal family. Nothing will change that. They are however, not working members of the monarchy. May not like it, but that's it. I agree the monarchy will survive.
@@user-gh5xh8dg4j royal blood mmmm genuine blood do not throw their families to the wolves whether they be royal or not, it means nothing in Harry's case.
The Monarchy is led well and the family members are very committed to making it work and work with integrity!
Love hearing that father & daughter duo talk together about the Monarchy! Please have them back on again!
Yes please
@tennesseenana4838 can't stand them and the royal family feel betrayed by him
he was trusted
Yes, please do. So pleasant to watch people discussing issues and views without barking over each other. Father and daughter are an awesome duo.
@@kimh7416 both our late Queen and our King think he betrayed them
and he has
There is no crisis, just a challenge. Plenty of Royals to step up. The duo are not needed. Their PR are trying to make is as they are needed, but they would only add to the worries.
Zero consideration should be given to Harry and Megan for any rejoining of working royals. Hopefully the Royal monarchy is working on ending every tie they have with the royal monarchy it’s way past due.
This is the best interview ever. If anybody doesn't understand why the RF is doing what they're doing they way they're doing everything now, they never will, this father and daughter ( I think) should each get a gold medal...well done!!! I'm from South Africa and 74 yrs old, and grew up with "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" after movies until our country became a Republic...still to my horror!!!
A very good Interview. Please due have them back. 😊❤
Agree. I believe with all my heart that the Monarchy will survive this trying times. Wishing the entire working Royal Family the best.
Why on earth would the monarchy be doomed? These people have been around for more than a thousand years. They are survivors. Incidentally, Queen Victoria wasn't seen for years.
Thousands of years they are well old lol
Hello from America (born and raised in Canada). Great episode! Would love to hear from stories from Dickie during his time on staff at the Palace.
The Arbiters have a CZcams channel - Dickie & Vicky
No there is no crisis, they are a strong loving family and will be fine.
Thanks to THE SUN - for the respect to the Royal Family. Great Show!! 🇺🇸
I havnt bought a newspaper for years but I'm going to start getting the " Sun " because of the love and respect you've shown princess Catherine and the royals( and I'm a Scouser)
Honesty, sincere, wisdom & loved by people across the globe, Prince William & Princess Catherine definitely can made Royal family proud.
Are you serious people love kate and William in the world
Why people in the world trash kate and William
Love the Royal Family. They are still doing an amazing job.
Enough already stop talking about reconciling, stopping giving Harry and Meghan Mountbatten-Windsor air time and the attention they so demand.
Prince harry please
Meghan markle
Kate middleton
Prince William
You see you have 2 real princes harry and William
Their wives are just meghan and kate
The Monarchy will be stronger than ever !!!!! Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Ann are there to cover and support King Charles and Princess Catherine. I love reading and watching clips of The Royal Family in the UK and continue to do so. Long live The King and The Monarchy 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️
Harry and Meghan, cut themselves adrift from the royal family, now they are trying to get back. It's a cold wind that blows, when you try to demolish the British royal family...
A cold wind indeed blowing through the hapless lives of H&M-failure to launch
I stopped following every news channel that bullied Princess Catherine in recent weeks, it was appalling behaviour on their part. I was left only following the Sun. Thank you for your professionalism, your balanced and realistic approach. Great guests who support the Royal Family. The RF will survive this too, best wishes to King Charles and Princess Catherine, may you both feel the love and healing support from so many around the world. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
It is sad and horrific when people do NOT know or understand their own country's history and customs. It is equally horrific in America as well. The educated generation is sadly aging out.
Everyone told us it was "reverse order". The Public is not stupid. ANDREW IS ALLOWED TO GO TO CHURCH -- as a Family event. He could not prevent the AUDIENCE in the Street, gorping at him -- uninvited -- while the whole family walked to their Church. The Markles of Montecito do not even go to Church at all !
The grifters from monteshitto have no God in their lives. They are evil and worship themselves
Church attendance on holy-days tell us what about a person's character.
Everyone Has A Right To Go To Church. It's A SinTo Keep People From Church. We Are Supposed To In courage People. To Go. He Has Not Been Charge With Anything. He Doesn't Trash The Family. I M. H. O. Harry & M. M. Has Done Worse & Still Doing It. A Lot Of People Pick Wrong Friends. It's A Sin To Not Allowed People To Go To Church.
@@lindajetton9664 Well said Linda family is family and should stand by each other, individuals are individuals but they can still be family.
The RF just IS! Regardless of who says what, it is going nowhere.
Queen Camilla and prince William are doing a fantastic job along with princess Anne and prince Edward..hard time's no doubt, but the monarchy is just fine. Sending our love and prayers from 🇨🇦❤️🌹
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Sincere Prayers for Prices Charles n Princess Catherine Williams perfect healing by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
God save the King and Princess Katherine,Prince William they beautiful kids 🙏❤️
Thank you for this wonderful, civilized conversation…a breath of fresh air…I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all of you!
Surround the working Royals with love and support. God Bless them one and all….no Harry and his partner to cause stress and heartache. Keep them away from UK.
Some people use trauma as a life lesson, mature and grow. Others are stunted at the age when the trauma occurred and can't get past blaming others. Victims that weaponize everything.
Well said. Personally, the challenges of my life have been paradigm shifting. I agree with your insightful statement about those who remain stunted. I am beginning to wonder if they are the narcissists who will never grow
Keep calm and carry on.
Yes. It's not scandal, .. it's health problems, which can hit any family at any time. The media should leave it now, and focus on something else! Good healing to Charles, Catherine, their families and all people effected by cancer.
Excellent discussion, civilized, need more of this
D & V Arbiter are the cream of the crop when it comes to reporting on the RF 🏆⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They provide the public with “the facts” and have the inside knowledge to dispel all the gossip and rumours.
Love this interview!
Older people have the experience that the younger people just don't have and things just are handled sometimes poorly because they don't have any advisers. Eisers, that can really give them what they need to hear.
Instead they listen to people who tell them what they want to hear. They'll learn
Great show, bring them back please. PS loved the tie ;)
Oh U should have Dickie & Victoria back 1 once a week i just love them💙🇬🇧💙🇬🇧👑
The only two individuals to listened to regarding the Royal Family. I love their CZcams page.
Prince Andrew hasn’t been convicted of anything , he made some very foolish choices in business ,in friendships ,in recreations and left himself wide open to criticism and as it turned out something akin to blackmail . He has done much more damage to himself than to the royal family ,who weren’t responsible for his actions as a middle aged man . He doesn’t criticise the royal family,ever , the late Queen punished him severely , and he has got on with his life quietly ,not making waves , so there is little reason for anyone to complain when he attends events ,and services and is still accepted as a member of the family , which he is . If the nay-sayers have nothing better to do with their time they might find someone or something more deserving of their ,(not so righteous) indignation . There’s very much worse going on in the sad old world right now . God save the King . Wishing a return to full health to King Charles III ,Princess Catherine and Sarah.
really Andrew is a preditor..you call that a foolish choice..rethink what you wrote....
Well Said,
@@user-gh5xh8dg4j Aw please show your proof. It has all been said and things have been made worse by the public bleating but not knowing. Now things are being turned on Harry it will be interesting to see how that turn out but it has allegedly begun the same as Andrew. Without prejudice. Two names both royal what about others? Strange and still we judge.
Leave them alone!
They don't. The Sun is again causing tremendous stress to the King, Catherine and especially to William. They have again a rubbish article how William&Harry could end their feu. What in Heaven this paper expect from William who has already an enormous burden of responsibilities and emotions to handle? He doesn't need these Harry stories at all, neither the other royals. On the contrary, Harry must shut up and stay away.
Who????????????
It’s challenging times but the RF will survive and get through stronger because of their bond.
Great interview Matt Wilkinson! Dickie and Victoria have a wealth of knowledge. I would love to see the three of you on a regular basis. Love from Dallas Texas USA
William is mature Harry hasn't matured. Life is not about unfairness and sausages its about getting on with whats at hand and not sniping publicly, one brother is doing it one brother is not.
Andrew and Fergie were there for Easter at the church. They are family.
Love this news person! She is right, Yes, STOP with Harry and Meghan, no one cares!!
I agree... in USA I hope we are over H&M...I admire and respect the Royal Family (for me that will not include H&M)
Ms Arbiter is just lovely, well spoken, clear, knowledgeable and so pretty.......(NOT being creepy).........
Yes utter hog wash. There is enough RF to go around when needed and no need for the Montecito duo to return. That’ll be their entrance to their half in half out, how about “Just Stay Out”. You had your chance to serve. Apologize for all your wrong doings because it is the right thing to do. The more you resist, the more all your projects will fail.
why cant it survive? It is there, it exists. How do you 'disappear ' it? They dont go away so regardless of what people want or not, they are THERE and cant disappear
Would love more episodes with the Arbiter Duo, what a great team they make. Unsurpassed insight.
Thank y the sun the only paper not critisizing catherine
True!
Agree, Don't Bring Yourselves Down To. Others Level Keep Doing The Good Job You Are Doing T. Y. God Bless.
but bringing up old hat.
Let all the TV commentators let the Royal family breathe. leave Harry and his wife out, leave Andrew out none of you will cut off your son or brother let them have their life's in peace. Please focus on the Good works, King Charles III and Queen Camilla are doing and the beautiful works of The Prince of Wales and kindly allow Princess Catherine to rest and recover in peace. Leave the royal family in peace and love. this unending running commentaries are now sickening. No one , I mean no Family on Earth is perfect not even the pope! Bye
Amen
God save the king. 🇬🇧❤️🇳🇿❤️🇨🇦❤️🇭🇲
Really enjoyed this interview!
Here name is Catherine the Princess of Wales not Kate
Andrew is family HE NEEDS TI BE WITH HIS FAMILY. He is no longer a working Royal. We all have that one family member that is an embarrassment 🤷♀️. He is family end of story and deserves to be part of family gatherings.
I agree totally he is family and he has every right to support them without all the people with platforms just picking on him for something to say. There is a saying "there for the grace of god go I" how many reporters etc. in the public eye have been villafide and then found to be innocent, one never knows and karma is a so and so but for many it is real. One moment safe thinking things are ok and then ouch...what happened there? Proof is needed for all things no matter who it is as there are those who will make up things just for limelight male or female all are capable. It is a sad old world we live in tbh.
Not so sure about that
Agree with you!
Andrew isn't the only one that's been an embarrassment. We need to stop with that. Look at Charles. The late Queen had made mistakes along the way too. They're human like everyone else. Some of them get excused more easily than others. I find it interesting how the British media love to keep slinging dirt at their own. They make sure on a daily basis that we don't forget to help them mock their own RF. Then they tell us how great their monarchy is in another breath, calling themselves Monarchists. Dirt sells at the expense of themselves on the end. It's so ridiculous. Leave Andrew alone. He served his country VERY WELL.
People are only embarrassments to themselves through which they learn and life goes on.
As an American, I find the hysteria created by the British media to be unnecessary. The monarchy survived the German Luftwaffe and Hitler which was the darkest period for Britain. The current situation is a minor bump in the road. Both King Charles and Princess Catherine are receiving the best medical treatment in the world. Hope they recover quickly.
I agree but time is very worrying at the moment as one thing generally has links to another which may be fatal. We need to keep our heads above the sand and the only way to do that is to recognise and to act. The RF have many many supporters of ALL cultures, long may they reign.
Apart from Andrew, all the negativity is since marckle slithered her way into Prince dumb dumb bed ( harry)😱
Love these talks.
Leave Prince Andrew. He stayed loyal to the RF
Definitely.
The RF are fine.. and have endured far more drama in the past.. I MUST SAY without Markle, NONE OF THE VICIOUS ATTACKS WOULD BE HAPPENING., it’s Markles flying monkeys doing her bidding and making stuff up especially about Catherine because Markle seethes with jealousy of Catherine.. and lied so much about her and and the RF AND 100% caused the online bullying and the harkles do absolutely nothing to stop the attacks which tells us EVERYTHING about Harry and Markle.
Totally Agree
Good to hear positive reports about the Monarchy. You can trust this Father/Daughter duo to be honest and keep it real. Please bring the cut off from Andrew and Harry and Meghan soon!
Queen Elizabeth in her time has dealt with far more intrigue and scandals and live on to reign 70years.but she was highly revered and was firm.sadly king Charles is not else he would have stopped the attacks from his despicable son and his wife.
Prayers to lord Jesus for
King Charles and the princess of Whales
Hopefully with the diagnosis of cancer for both king, Charles and Catherine, princess of Wales, they along with the rest of the working, tight knit royal family, will be more serious professionally and legally about stripping Megan and Harry of everything within their power, for I believe the stress that these two have caused is the possible culprit of these cancers as well
You are going to get cancer as well if you don’t stop obsessing over Harry & Meghan.
Leave them alone. They have gone to a happier life and don’t want anything to do with UK.
Get over it!
Thank you for stating clearly that we need to stop bringing Andrew and Harry into any conversations. Whilst still family, they are not involved in The Firm. Especially Harry. He has been so succient about fleeing for freedom. I blame the press.
I find myself enjoying different interviews but then in comes that one name Andrew...it is because of the public and reporters plus interviewers continuosly plugging things which may possibly be conspiracies, why is there only Andrew's name on the chopping board and how are they going to deal with Harry's name now being involved in something, same thing, two royals and every other associate is innocent of wrongdoings? Look for the truth I say then the public will know where to stand in the meantime I cannot watch many interviews regardless of how good they may be. Long live the RF and bless King Charles, Princess Catherine plus all their family along with Fergie and great that they ALL show family support. I love seeing them ALL together sadly the absence of Harry does not worry me at all he now has a special name and will be regarded as such through history. My empathy goes to the family for their loss as it cannot be easy for them H. was so loved and Markles was taken into the hearts of the Brits. They left, their choice, now is the time to concentrate on the real Royals and their families.
Forget about the Sussex family, they are just so passé!
I love Dickie and Victoria. Stop talking about the Duke and Duchess of Doom and Drama ! They are depressing and live in America ( Close to America Anyway, being Newsums California ). 😊
Things aren't so bad that Harry and Meghan could come back. Bring out the late Queen's Corgis! I'd rather wave at them and they can be relied on to say nothing out of line
The Monarchy is strong. The weakest links broke away.
The Harkles & their flying monkies remind me of ONE FLEW OVER THE COUKOs NEST😵Bio on C Boozy...started out bullying Nate The Lawyer & got sued for defamation by Nate! BOOZY BUCKS🎈it was so much fun! That's when Nate brought the whole sad story of Boozy out. Did you know he skipped out on rent for a year, was being sued by his little old lady landlord & then went to bankruptcy. But not before he locked himself in his apt. from police! That's when tech no brain started his bot senile & got hired by Megsie! Also opened an Escort Service! And the rest is history😎🤑
Prayers
I must congratulate the channel for factual on point discussions. This is the best discussion on Royalty matters I've listened to. Please keep doing them and yes lets have father and daughter back again for their factual interesting coverage.
It may be a smaller family unit, but it seems to me that it is both stronger and definitely united in adversity. The monarchy is not “too slim” it has been slimmer in the past and only folk absolutely lacking in discernment are calling for rapprochement with those two vipers in Montecito.
Agree 100% that it would not have happened on D.A.‘s watch!
Very interesting interviiew!!! PLEASE have them back!!!
Wendy, they have a you tube channel 'Dickie & Vickie's Royal Report'.
Long Live the Queen!
Long live the King
@@koulamatziaris2138 Mutiny.
No, the monarchy is not finished or doomed etc. They've faced their share of challenging events over the last 1000 years, and they'll survive this one too, whether it be illness OR ex-royals!
The monarchy seems strong to me ,I haven't heard anyone say otherwise apart from on the Internet mainly a small section in the US who have no say whatsoever so keep calm and carry on.
They absolutely do need crusty old people like Mr. Arbiter who knows the rules and knows how to politely tell them how to act. A total gentleman!
😮I agree 100% ,,stop adding Andrew and Harry. When you’re talking about the Working Royals Family !!
Good Hod let it go ,!!
Great report tonight ,!
Love Dickie Arbiter!! What a beautiful relationship he and his daughter have ☀️. We all need the RF in this world of corruption & morally reprehensible politicians, to be a benevolent body above & separate, connected to Faith, overseeing. The family members not worth their salt are very obvious now, so we can let them go & hone our focus on the great good the working Royals do individually & as a whole.
A slimmed down monarchy is GREAT cos the smaller numbers are closer to each other , more united and work well together. No point having a huge monarchy with everybody being selfish and disunited and promoting oneself only.
The public knows about reverse order, and we also know it was a family occasion. The public are not entirely stupid.
Hello from London. A family member is a black cabbie and he said the press and photographers were outside the cancer wing of the London clinic days before Catherine released her diagnosis statement. He said to me at the time that he wouldn’t be surprised if she has cancer. Little did we know that a few days later she would release her statement. I think the British press were aware before it was made public. If you remember Piers Morgan intimated that he had heard very upsetting rumours too.
I STAND WITH CATHERINE. GOD SAVE THE KING
❤
BUT THEY DIDNT HAVE THE INTERNET, TWITTER ,Messaging , Instagram , Email etc etc to pass on INSTANT NEWS TO PEOPLE IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE who are now educated and have an opinion and can vote 10:34 , for the monarchy to survive so go figure but I HOPE IT DOES SURVIVE 🤷♀️
GREAt PROGRAM 👏👏👏❤️
QUEEN CAMILLE IS A TRUE BRITAIN, SHE HAS LOVED THE KING FOR SO LONG, AT HER AGE, STEPING UP TO REPRESENT HIM. SHE IS AMAZING!! THIS AMERICAN LOVE THE ROYAL FAMILY. LOVE LIVE THE KING WITH LOVE. Susan
I like Victoria she's a great junalist ❤
Great program. Best three for truthful fair comments.
I like the 2 guests n the interview
I appreciate hearing news of the working RF and their relationships with one another.!! The Queen showing support by receiving well wishes for Princess Catherine. And Princess Catherine having lunch with the King. 👑 ❤🙏😇!! Lovely.!!
Victoria is such a lady. Dickie Arbiter must be proud.
I just love HRH Princess Anne❣️
We will always have a monarch you can take that to the bank
I am so proud of Victoria as a Royal Commentator. She always carries the role with dignity and aplomb.
Comments about Prince Andrew are totally out of line, imo. I think there is far too much pandering to “optics” ! People are not stupid, anyone who has ever seen the royals (and I am no royal watcher) will have spotted that the monarch always arrives last ! And as attendance at church services is a matter of PRIVATE DEVOTION and not public spectacle, to suggest that Andrew should not attend the Easter service is crass, outrageous and egregious in my opinion. The late Queen herself CHOSE Andrew to squire her to the self same service. Anyone with an iota of discernment should give that pause. He may be foolish, he may be an arrogant brat, but, that said, he is loyal to his family and to his country. He served in the Navy for 22 years and under fire during the Falklands war. He has never been charged with any offence and has persistently and stoutly denied the allegations made against him. I believe that the only thing he is guilty of is an appalling lack of common sense when choosing friends, not distancing himself from them when the proverbial hit the fan … as a huge number of US politicians and other movers and shakers did and also falling on his sword and settling that CIVIL lawsuit with the Giuffre creature, which he clearly did not want to do, when it became clear that any court case would coincide with his Mum’s Jubilee celebrations… I think he didn’t want it derailed and for the case to cause his mother any further grief and angst at that juncture. Both she and Prince Philip were visibly ailing, the Harkle’s were inflicting an immense amount of suffering and he clearly didn’t want to add any more strife and public speculation to the misery they were already enduring. I wholeheartedly agree that the interview was a disaster… to my mind it was a trap set to snare a very stupid man, and I cannot imagine what his advisors were thinking. Innocent until proven guilty no doubt … but how stupid. Trial by media is very much a given … as we see on a daily basis … and in Andrew’s case the way the media insist on continuing to wring further gobbets of ignominy from a very dead horse, not content with the pound of flesh extracted all those years ago, is disgraceful and disgusting. Enough already.
