How did Trump’s megachurch preacher friend only get 6 months for raping a 12 year old?

Andrew losing his Prince title and getting kicked out of Buckingham Palace.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/30/europ...ove-latam-intl

“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation,” the statement continued. “These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”

I'm enjoying the Prince Andrew nonsense. The Royals havent been this entertaining in years!

Now all we need a gif of Moe tossing Andrew's ass out on to the street.

The best short interview I've seen recently was where it was proposed that Prince Andrew get booted and go get a real job and the guy being interviewed looked like he was about to swallow his tongue.

"With what on his CV? Rapist? Who is going to hire him??"

That guy is such a putz its hilarious.

How is "Prince Andrew loses his titles" a 2025 headline and not a *checks notes* 2014 headline anyway?!? Insane.

No, just the British really.

Lots of European Countries still have Royal Families they just dont fellate them constantly.

You can have your fun things, the British just screwed it up. Too much attention, too much Taxpayer money, too much focus.

You shouldnt subsidize their lifestyle, you shouldnt idolize them, if you want them at all then they should be seen and not heard.

I couldnt care less what these clowns think.

Stephen Fry once made an argument FOR the crown as a symbol that even the highest elected officials have to bow to, in order to understand that there is still something above them: country. Which I found very interesting coming from him.

I dont have a problem with it. Some people find it symbolic or meaningful or just fun...and thats fine!

I have a problem when Taxpayers are paying for extravagance based on some made up BS 'birthright.'

You want to do a world tour? You pay for it. You need security? Open up your own wallet pal. Private plane? Thats you again otherwise 'coach' lines up over there.

The land and farming subsidies that the Royals get in England are beyond criminal. Thats the #### that needs to stop.

You get to have a fancy house and a business card with a nifty title on it...beyond that you should be on your own. Like a grown-up.

You want to rent out half of London so some coked up grease-monkey posing as a clergyman can plunk a fancy hat on you? Fill your boots! On your dime!

Oh is it Platinum Jubilee time? I dont care. Pay for your own fireworks.

And Andrew? What a useless POS. If someone had put that guy down decades ago would anyone have noticed? Whats he done with his life? He came out of the 'Royal Chute' and thats pretty much the entire accolade of his life. He probably couldnt even serve me burgers or walk my dog. Just a useless life.

Yeah I mean I totally agree. And I thought the passing of Elizabeth was the perfect opportunity for at least Canada (and other "colonies") to remove themselves from the monarchy completely.

But I just thought it was an interesting point when you consider someone like Trump and what he would be if there was a higher authority actually personified in the US. Again, specifically coming from Fry.

I heard a very interesting interview.

Apparently there is a photo taken outside of Prince Andrew's house and its:

Andrew, Harvey Weinstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein and the reporter just remarked:

"Two of those people are in prison and one was in prison and is now dead, only one is still walking around a free man."

It would be like if in 300 years, Trump's descendants were still privileged figureheads in the U.S because Donald was able to seize power. Just because some ###### bags a long time ago were able to convince zealots that they were a divinely appointed and from a superior bloodline often through the use of violence, it's not something that should be carried into the future because of tradition.

Sort of like the Kennedy family in the US and their stranglehold on politics.

Or the Bush family, or the Trudeau family.

That whole ordeal has been fascinating. The Royal Family really should have wired up their Castles and made some sort of Pseudo 'Big Brother' reality TV show.

If I were Andrew I'd change my name legally to: "The Royal Formerly Known as Prince."

And then sit back as he is presumably sued into oblivion by the singer's Estate.

Dont half-ass it! Really lean into it!
