The RF in my view has made a number of massive mistakes with their spares. None to my knowledge have been trained for any job and been encouraged to go into the services, that's what Andrew did for a while. When they're done with the services there seems to be a massive yawning gap. Edward tried to production company stuff, but had the good grace to give that up when he wasn't any good at it. Andrew did the young entrepreneur thing with businesses for a while, and then the air miles job being "our man" in the Middle East, buttering up the Arabs. All trading of the RF name again. Then all that petered out with bad press of making money for introductions etc..
Here we have 6 in the same position, drifting and druggy, party prince. Yes, we all know he had a bad beginning, but so do so many other people in this world, far worse in fact without such a supportive network. There is the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme which he could have got behind, the Invictus games which really wasn't his idea and has now high jacked. He's been told if he gets behind certain charities he can off set his costs through his Foundation, hence Sentable and I have a feeling theres going to be and Afghanistan charity very soon for him to jump on the money train. All he wants is fame and fortune, and not to toe the RF line. I do think he has always been this spoilt man child and 6's wife being an experience grifter, saw her chance.
Moving forward the RF are going to have to make plans for what the spare royals can get involved with, keep them busy and out of mischief how can the future monarchy be relevant if they are relatable to the people they serve?
