Prince Andrew: Why the military titles and royal patronages meant so much
Prince Andrew: Why the military titles and royal patronages meant so much
Close
Prince Andrew’s military titles and royal patronages have been returned to the Queen, and he will stop using the style His Royal Highness in an official capacity, it has been announced.
The BBC’s Dan Johnson explains why the Duke of York’s titles would have been important to him, with their significance within the Royal Family and links to his military service.

Andrew is currently the ninth in the line of succession to the throne.[246] On rare occasions, he is known by his secondary titles of Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh, in Scotland and Northern Ireland respectively.[245][247][248] In 2019 Inverness residents started a campaign to strip him of that title, stating that “it is inappropriate that Prince Andrew is associated with our beautiful city”, in light of his friendship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.[249]
On 13 January 2022, it was reported that while Andrew retains the style of His Royal Highness, he would no longer use it in a public capacity.[34]

Boris with cheese and wine whilst country locked up – 650 MPs and Media vocal!
3 teachers threatened with death in Batley – 650 and Media silent.
– from order-order.com
“Downing Street has apologised to Buckingham Palace for two staff parties in No 10 the night before Prince Philip’s funeral.”
All this while the rest of this great nation were subject to lockdowns etc .
We were all suffering while this was going on. We have a ‘rotten parliament’ made up of two parties.
But, there are others, UKIP and The Reform Party , both avoided by Al Beeb and the
MSM because they are BREXIT Parties.
Think outside the box.
Downing Street – not Boris? Not Rita Ora? Not Corbyn? Not Dominic? Not Kay Burley? etc …..
@Taffman “subject to lockdowns”
By the time that guy had his Downing St leaving drinks
pub gardens were already open
Christine Lee: Labour MP Barry Gardiner says Chinese agent ‘gained no political advantage’ from him
In an exclusive interview with Sky News, Brent North MP Barry Gardiner denies he feels “a fool” following the revelation that Christine Lee – who donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to him – has been engaged in “political interference activities”.
https://news.sky.com/story/christine-lee-labour-mp-barry-gardiner-says-chinese-agent-gained-no-political-advantage-from-him-12515277
‘gained no political advantage’ = he was not a functioning MP and had no value to the UK as well.
China denied the spying allegations late on Thursday night, saying it had “no need” to “buy influence” in any foreign parliament.
Asked by Sky News chief political correspondent Jon Craig if he ever discussed Labour policy with Ms Lee, Mr Gardiner replied: “No, not in great detail, no.”
NO – NOT IN GREAT DETAIL – SO YES, BUT NOT IN GREAT DETAIL! HA HAH HAH
Meanwhile Reuters reports a massive cyber attack on Ukraine and more russian troops at the border .
If / when the shooting war starts i really hope UK stays away from it . At least our military is so diminished that it wont be able to do much .
Does make you wonder why Putin hasn’t gone for it since the talks broke down …
Ive looked at the running order for the TV licencing bill today . At 1300 they are on bill number 2 of the session . The TVL bill is up at number 8 so i reckon a few hours yet .
Fedup2
The present so called ‘government’ has diminished our military. I understand that the British Army is now smaller than it was during the Napoleonic Wars.
At the same time our Home Office has opened the doors to over 28000 ‘people’ of unknown intentions .
What incompetence!
Taffman
I remember someone saying that the problem with having a big military is that it has a habit of going looking for fights . China is probably heading that way as well as Russia – although of course – speaking as an armchair warrior – mere numbers of men or kit isn’t everything …..
Will putin take on Obama /Biden ? Or do one of those ‘not war – not peace ‘ jobs using Russian forces without uniforms again ? Poland said yesterday that things are ‘touchier ‘ than the last 30 years ….
….meanwhile the UK concerns itself with parties and princes …
Until this moment, I was unaware of this.
Seems pertinent.
BTW there is a grey area cos if someone says, there was some event inside “Number 10”
Boris can argue, the “Number 10 flat is where the chancellor lives.
Prime minsters have lived at Number 11 for some time.
Downing St has 90 to 100 rooms yes
8000 staff ?
ie almost 100 onsite staff per room
That doesn’t seem possible.
The Cabinet office has 8000 staff spread across several offices, this is where the confusion has arisen. The invitation to the drinks party was addressed to 100 people.
Reminds me of a certain 2iC here.

At least she is still only sobbing away powerlessly.

Odd The BBC, here very concerned about incumbent performance levels, in the USA is hands off to the point of being absent.
2iC = second in command
What eas Boris’s specific lie about parties at Downing Street ?
I can believe he lies every day
and everyone says he lied about parties.
But I can’t find the specific sentences
AFAIK Dec 1st Starmer stands up at PMQs after the Daily Mirror
and says Boris was hosting illegal BOOZY Christmas parties.
(“boozy parties” must be a Labour line the media run with)
Yet ultimately the accusation is Boris must have known Civil servants had organised parties even though he himself was not boozing away.
Starmer by using an embellished line
makes it easy for Boris, to think he shouldn’t confess to something he didn’t do.
AFAIK Boris didn’t give firm denials but just said “guidance was followed”
So all he is stating is that he didn’t have awareness of any illegal events.
https://news.sky.com/story/boris-johnson-says-all-guidance-was-followed-as-keir-starmer-accuses-him-of-breaking-covid-rules-with-boozy-party-last-christmas-12483813
Maybe one of the Sunday papers will have the ‘leak’ which finishes him off in the court of Public Opinion …
…behind the scenes there must be plenty of ‘spads’ updating their CV s …
Starmer’s indoor boozing in Durham with his staff
was exactly 2 weeks after the Number 10 leaving do, on Friday 30th April 2021
‘Absolute hypocrite!’ Keir Starmer savaged after lockdown drinking picture re-surfaces

The whole thing is insane! If he had a cup of coffee or a soft drink it would be OK but a bottle of beer isn’t ?
Same as Trump never told people to inject disinfectant.
The Left – and particularly the BBC – lie as easily as tell the truth. They really don’t think there is anything wrong with it if it is helping their agenda.
For those following the Bill to abolish the TV licence and make the BBC a subscription service – it has been put over to the 21st of January –
But in real life I see it going nowhere . It is a long long fight …

UKIP would ……………..

“Reform the BBC:
Bloated, wasteful and obligatory. The licence fee needs abolishing. People should be free to choose.”……..

BBC feature him a lot for his views on things.
Good news – would split the socialist vote in the personchester
Wish granted.
Well – the Peter bone hill would be an ideal retaliation against the conduct of the BBC – I bet he’d have a majority if he wanted to rain it in a bit ….
‘And now on BBC news, in the wake of coronavirus cases almost halving since last week, down to under 100,000 from 180,000, we’ll be talking to all the learned Professors we interviewed and asking them why their doom-laden worst case scenarios have singularly failed to happen’
And then I woke up.
Which is a pity because there is a genuine story to be told about how and why, with the quite light touch of plan B, unlike the Scottish and Welsh lockdowns, cases are falling rapidly.
But such impartial analysis would be far far too muh for the Boris Bashing Corporation.
I wonder if the Bozo in SAGE who predicted 1,000,000 cases a day is still in a job.
Of course he is.
Erm… pot, kettle of colour ?

Depends on the broadcaster from whom they source their ‘news’.
Jon has found his voice (not in Mandarin).
Barry the Secret Agent?
Ukraine?
His ‘analysis’ of this would make a great book title.

President Trump’s 100 Days President Biden’s 0 Day
Dear Winston Smith in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth,
You covered President Trump’s 100 Days and then produced a Beyond 100 Days to hold power to account.
Why have you not done the same for President Biden to hold power to account?

“I say, Tim, this Joseph G. sounds just the ticket. And well rad… innit”
I am tendering my resignation because for some time past I have been conscious that I was wasting my own time and the public money on doing work that produces no result. I believe that in the present political situation the broadcasting of British propaganda to India is an almost hopeless task. Whether these broadcasts should be continued at all is for others to judge, but I myself prefer not to spend my time on them when I could be occupying myself with journalism which does produce some measureable effect. I feel that by going back to the normal work of writing and journalism I could be more useful than I am at present.
I do not know how much notice of resignation I am supposed to give. The ‘Observer’ have again raised the project of my going to North Africa. This has to be approved by the War Office and may well fall through again, but I mention it in case I should have to leave at shorter notice than would otherwise be the case. I will in any case see to it that the programmes are arranged for some time ahead.
Yours sincerely,
Eric Blair.

Local BBC news falsely making out the East Yorkshire coastal erosion is caused by “sea level rise”
Actual the coast is kind of artificial : tens of thousands of years ago seas deposited the material that built up these coastal cliffs
what has happened for the last few thousand years is that the sea has been eroding the material it once deposited
The cliffs at Tunstall on the East Yorkshire coast (not far from where I grew up) have been eroding since I was a lad. Where it had the path, a gap, a football field and some rough ground, the cliff edge is now right up to the path.
The BBC have realised since Brexit and Trump (especially Trump) they can get away with anything now and are running riot. They badly need reigning in : it’s just ridiculous.
Same as Aldborough, that’s the Yorkshire one, not the posh Suffolk one. Anyway, the rich brown earth falling off the cliffs from Whitby to Spurn point builds up further down the coast in Lincolnshire. When the Wash is full they’ll blame Climate change. Spurn Point has disappeared and reappeared numerous times.
Don’t forget there are several villages and even I think a town which over the past few hundred years ended up under the sea, several miles from what is East Riding shore. It is nothing to do with climate change.
They have a sign at Tunstall showing the historic villages which are now out at sea due to natural erosion.
We live in a world of lies. And the Left with their agenda are the biggest liars of all because their ideology makes them believe the ends justify the means.
Islamic terrorists murder innocent civilians for much the same reason.
And don’t forget the city of Dunwich which disappeared in the 11th century .
Rye, East Sussex
Is an old smuggling port that is now two miles way from the sea shore… and when one is on the White Cliffs of Dover its also hard to imagine that this was the Sea-floor as its so high in parts. It erodes naturally revealing small sea fossils as does another famous place called Lyme Regis. Erosion is natural as is the east of the country falling into the sea and other parts rising above it. It has little to do with rising ocean levels which is scare mongering based on Climate projections by UNCOP26 Scientists as accurate as Professor Fergusson on deaths by Covid unless we all get vaccinated 18 times.
Is everybody enjoying diversity night on the BBC this
evening? My favourite moment up to now has not
been watching Diversity dancing on the One Show.
I think that the BBC 6PM national news takes top
spot up to now . And especially seeing the virtuous
British Pakistani cricketer telling us once again
how he was” racially abused” by his Yorkshire team mates.
Isn’t just a shame that this gentleman with some
anti-Semitic tendencies is given so much time on the BBC.
When the victims of the rape gang “cousins” of this
cricketer are seldom even mentioned on the BBC? Well of
course it’s a diverse culture. that us whities don’t understand.
And although the young girls were racially abused. And
all racial abuse is equal. So far as the BBC is concerned .
Some racial abuse is more equal than others.
They win, no matter what.
Mrs Voter was at the sick bay tiffs this morning, 0830 would you believe. I put the radio on in the car, I can only get Radio 4 and 5 here in Northern France. Some reporter was extolling the virtues of Arsenal gaining a draw with Liverpool in the Milk Cup. So he then introduces a goalkeeper who had played for both teams. Siobhan Chapman, WTF.
TWatO Watch #1 – the BBC are getting a bit over-confident perhaps?
Some have written on this Thread and on this web-site in the past that ‘the Left’ are none too bright. And so it appears. Mark Drakeford has been trailed across the BBC News airwaves to try to explain that his approach to a Lockdown for Christmas and New Year was just right and Boris Johnson’s approach was just plain wrong. And this just when the BBC are trying to suggest today that Lockdowns were wrong and caused huge damage which they did – but who was calling for them? Yes, the Sucker in charge of the Labour Party.
The BBC are trying to say “Lockdowns were wrong” and blame the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, just when they are also trying to keep ‘Partygate’ going. Please excuse me if I go a bit Nelson Muntz at this point: “Hah haah!” You couldn’t make it up. But it gets worse with TWatO today, Jonny Dymond in charge.
If I remember correctly, Craig Oliver who was Press spokesman (Director of Communications) for David Cameron and, I think, Theresa May was asked to make a contribution to TWatO. Surprisingly, the BBC sought balance on ‘Partygate’ and brought on Jonathan Powell, immediately afterwards, who was Tony Blair’s Chief of Staff. Powell instantly dropped Sue Gray (Investigator of Partygate) in it with a giveaway statement that she was ‘political’ ie. not as independent as a Civil Servant is expected to be. Jonathan Powell immediately corrected himself and said “non-political” but by then the damage – Sarah Montague-style – had been done.
Interestingly and previously, Jonny and the TWatO team had also arranged two more vox pops; a Chairwoman of Tunbridge Wells (I think) Conservative Association and a Deputy Chair of the equivalent near to our Stew Green’s part of the world, Skegness. The lady went first and helpfully (for the BBC & Labour) said (I summarise) “Boris must go” but the gent who was the East Coast Conservative was rather more robust “It is all a plot to get rid of Boris Johnson.” Later as Jonny talked to both, the woman from Tunbridge Wells adjusted her position and agreed with the gentleman from Skegness.
Oh dear, poor BBC. Poor old Labour Party. Nelson Muntz to comment again: “Hah haah!”
Following its stalwart defence of the communist Chinese agents trying to infiltrate the UK Government the BBC float the question, should we all speak Chinese….
https://www.bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/should-we-all-write-in-chinese/p05t8dzj
They are the nothing more than a sleeper organisation for Global Communism and need to be gone in our democratic Country. It is disgusting that they can even float this idea.
What a shame we don’t have a UK Government with the balls to say it and give them the boot!
They are now the most dangerous movement this Country has ever faced and we are all paying for them to do it!
Enough is enough in my opinion.
Begone foul creatures, we are British not slaves of China and never will be!
This will end in bullets and killing!

The BBC would never have allowed Cuba to export goods to America, they much preferred it as a backwoods country of peasants as a holiday destination. As for Hong Kong, the handover to China was something the BBC would approve of to abolish ‘capitalism’ – in the form they want. Global capitalism serving the ruling global elites ONLY. Much like the EU plans for a post soviet model creating another soviet style EU by stealth claiming its based on American idealism. Well thanks to Biden, that is the wheel in motion once again. Chinese Communism v Russian Communism v American global imperialism (its a last pitch is to change all the rules to suit a purely digital US economy that it can control virtually). The BBC has always proffered the ‘soviet-model’ as many of the staff are not Marxist but (self admitted to Jeremy Clarkson) as being proper ‘Trotskyists’. An elite branch above the common Chinese global communal money grabbers (sniff). The BBC have their own cash currency!, they even have their own BBC Charter of rights and it ‘excludes’ those that are common money grabbers and (poor) Marxists.
BBC donations are of course accepted from China, George Sorus, Bill Gates, Qatar, Saudi and Russia, purely for monetary gain and greed to aid the impoverished at the BBC. Propaganda ain’t cheap, millions to be made either way.
Hmmmmmmmm slave of China or Slave or Saudi ? I know which I’d prefer everytime !
Shut the BBC… protect our Country… they are worse than Lord Haw Haw in 1940.
Come on folks!
