Prince (?) Andrew "Fired" By Royal Family; Withdraws From Official Duties, Will No Longer Receive His 250,000 Pounds Per Year Royal Stipend

The article states that the royals -- or, whatever, the Windsors -- are bracing for official US subpoenas demanding that Andrew York talk to FBI officials about his very special friendship with Jeffrey Epstein (guilty of sex trafficking, innocent of suicide).

His BBC interview -- which his PR agent quit over, advising against it and signing that advisement with a resignation -- was Andrew's bid to reduce law enforcement interest in him.

I guess because he knew his status as a royal was hanging by a thread.

The interview, however, seems to have only united everyone in the opinion that he is at least a liar and quite possibly a john for underaged girls forced into prostitution.

And so the royals gave him a less dramatic version of the Jeffrey Epstein treatment.

The brutal ouster, when it came, was worthy of the nickname the royals use for themselves, "The Firm."

Late Wednesday afternoon, Prince Andrew issued the statement that brought his public life to an end. He claimed it was his decision and that he had sought the queen's "permission" to withdraw from public duties for the foreseeable future, but the truth was far from that.

Royal briefings are making it very clear today that he was fired'--and the termination is permanent.

"The bottle of whisky and the pearl-handled revolver were laid out for him. And they were laid out for him by his mother," one source told The Daily Beast.

That's a bit dangerous to say -- because I think one viable theory in the case of Jeffrey Epstein is that he paid off guards to give himself some "privacy" while he made a clean exit.

Which is like "laying out a bottle of whiskey and a revolver" for him.

...

Andrew was told he would no longer to have any frontline duties representing the family. He was told he was to stand down immediately from his 200 charitable patronages. He was told that he would immediately lose his £250,000 per annum grant.

The article speculates that Charles was largely behind this, because he's supposedly wished to exclude Andrew since 2012.

Well, maybe. But the decision seems overdetermined.

I'll update you about any visits he receives from corrupt former law enforcement personnel and/or shady private detectives paid by Hillary Clinton.
