Is it true that Andy gave the newsnight interview without consulting the royal household? If there is any truth in that I'm sure his family are vexxed with him. The arrogance of him to think that was going to go down well is shocking.

The Queen was in agreement for him to do it. I think Beatrice and Fergie were more hands on with the development of what he would say etc
Forget the royal household. He should have engaged a top notch media trainer and crisis communications firm. And been rehearsed for every possible question to within an inch of his life. The fact that he decided he didn’t need to do that kind of preparation speaks volumes about his ego.
Agree, I remember watching it at the time thinking who let him do this. I suppose he's used to people not questioning or challenging him.
Heavily photoshoped. It's not ugly per se but don't look like Kate with some questionable fashion choices, so yes, it's a bit tacky
I don't believe that for one second either. There has been no love lost between Andrew and Charles (and later William) for many years.
Even before this blew up Charles and Andrew where at loggerheads because Andrew wanted his girls to have full royal roles, privileges and security and Charles was having non of it because he intended to downsize the RF. William is very much on the same page as his father with that.
The incidents of Andrew smashing in gates with his Range Rover will not have gone down well either. This has all been a long time coming for Andrew.
Boohoo, Andrew faces financial ruin now. No one cares. Pompous prat.
I'm embarrassed to admit just how long I spent thinking "Ooh, what's Richard Branson been up to.. welllll wouldn't surprise me.. another billionaire with an island.. I should Google this one.." before I clicked to the pickle pun
but it was a while.
Prince Harry says: Give me back my bodyguards
Lawyers acting for Harry have written a 'pre-action protocol' letter to the Home Office, indicating they will seek a judicial review if continued security is not provided by the UK.
I wasn’t expecting this - I thought Harry was settled in America, though I don’t really follow Harry and Meghan?
Why did they photoshop the picture to death. Lets face it Kate would look great in a bin bag!
So glad Andrew is getting served his just desserts!

Does this mean he expects a group of British security staff to just up sticks from their lives and families and move permanently to America?Prince Harry says: Give me back my bodyguards

I don't think so - I read it as he's expecting to still get security when he's in the UK. Apparently he was given security when he was here for Prince Philip's funeral, but not when he came over for unveiling the Diana statue and he's kicking off about it. The article also says that Princess Anne and Prince Edward only have security when they're on royal duties, so I expect the Queen will say if Harry wants to come back and do some royal duties he can have a security team when he does so.Does this mean he expects a group of British security staff to just up sticks from their lives and families and move permanently to America?
Seems a strange move on Harry's part to expect people to not question of get annoyed at him for this. People of the UK have had to go through a pandemic with jobs and loved ones lost, now facing an energy crisis where people can't afford to hear their homes and a PM showing contempt for the nation, but he thinks now is the time to complain about paying for security when we've seen all the big deals he's signed in 2021.
I think the press had a huge part to play in Harry's popularity plummeting but strange decisions like this don't help and just show he's completely stupid.

Not now Harry .....
Read the room, Harry 
Harry doesn't seem to understand the difference between being a working Royal and a private citizen.
Why should he be able to hire met police? Nobody else can do that. I have two theories.
1 he's just trying to hide the fact that he won't be invited to the jubilee. He'll refuse to come instead because he won't be given security.
2 He wants tax payer funded security in the UK and he's only offering to pay for it to make himself look good and because he knows that he wouldn't be allowed to do that anyway. He's hoping that kicking up a fuss will lead to them saying that he does need security but he won't be allowed to pay for it and will get it for free.

Another theory: H&M need a story to create content for their Netflix etc deals, and there is only so long he can dine out on the story of him losing his mother as a child, so now they are planning to Jussie Smollett themselves and the demands for security are a set up for that - they know they are not going to get it, so he will be able to point fingers and say «they tried to do to my young family what they did to my mother!»
Thank you. That makes sense. I was skim-reading it whilst watching the Masked Singer and having just drunk a large bottle of Smirnoff Ice Raspberry. I like to keep it classy on a Saturday night.
So Harry starting the year exactly how he moaned his way through the last one
He isn't very bright a bit on the slow side methinks, not as good as manipulating the press as his Mother was.
