Out of his home and lost his title.
Hopefully more to come for him. |  |

While Andrew is and has always been an arse, with what offence do you think he might successfully be prosecuted? The victim and the prime perpetrator are dead.
Any more moves, such as a hugely damaging court case, would be heavily resisted by the establishment, which has protected Andrew for over 20 years. I'm already nauseated by the usual royal toadies, such as Dimbleby, falling over themselves to congratulate Charles for "acting so decisively". |
There could be loads of things that have thus far been hushed up that he could be prosecuted for. Other girls. What he knew of Epstein's operations. What he took part in. Knowledge of false imprisonment. Trafficking. Drugs. All sorts, potentially.
I find it very unlikely the royals are severing all ties with him over tabloid gossip and an email or two. |  |

Crown immunity extends to the following, so as long as he stays holed up in Sandringham, he could in theory avoid judicial proceedings.
"No arrest can be made "in the monarch's presence", or within the "verges" of a royal palace. When a royal palace is used as a residence (regardless of whether the monarch is actually living there at the time), judicial processes cannot be executed within that palace." |  | | |

I wasn't aware of that.
Now that I know it, the decision to pack him off to Sandringham seems incredibly telling.
EDIT:
That said, having read a little about it I'm not convinced that Andrew would be afforded those protections any more. Wikipedia states (my emphasis):
"The monarch is immune to arrest in all cases; members of the royal household are immune from arrest in civil proceedings.
No arrest can be made "in the monarch's presence", or within the "verges" of a royal palace. When a royal palace is used as a residence (regardless of whether the monarch is actually living there at the time), judicial processes cannot be executed within that palace."
Now that Andrew is plain old Mr Mountbatten Windsor, does he constitute a member of a royal household? If not, I would suggest that the later provisions do not apply; there have been plenty of arrests at Royal residences over the years - https://www.met.police.uk/foi- - so it would seem that one needs to be a 'protected individual' as well as meeting the other criteria.

In theory. Not in practice I'd argue. I think if evidence came to light it would be ill-advised, and practically impossible, for the king to protect him. The public uproar would be off the scale and could be the beginning of the end for the monarchy.
It's reasonable to suspect there's more to come otherwise why are they bothering to strip him of his titles and home. If it were just tabloid gossip and a couple of dodgy emails they could just deny the allegations and wait for it to blow over. | |

I thought Sandringham was private property - not Crown property, which is why he is being sent there to avoid any conflict with the tax payers.
In theory, the police could just knock on the door. |  | | |

But, to be fair, we did fight on the wrong side in WW1. Our natural and historic enemy was France, but we had to fight v Germany because of an historic treaty with Belgium. Possibly, the decision to take out Belgium was a massive miscalculation by the Kaiser. |
That's not really the case. Britain's natural enemy has always been whoever is seeking to gain hegemony over Western Europe and/or taking control of the Channel/North Sea coast. In the roughly five centuries since the development of the modern nation state* that has included the Dutch, Spanish and Germans, as well as the French.
Indeed, barring a few hiccups (Fashoda), France had been working with the UK since the mid 19th century. Germany, on the other hand, was encroaching into our area of special interest - naval supremacy. Plus there were clashes on Africa and the Kaiser's fad for supporting anti-British causes (despite his pride in familial links with the monarchy, being Queen Victoria's grandson).
Belgium was the direct trigger for war in 1914, but for ten years the UK had been in political alignment with France - the Entente Cordiale - and military discussions had taken place, with agreements on cooperation. Britain might possibly have stayed neutral in August 1914 (many in the government still hoped the situation could be at least contained, if not defused), but they most certainly would not have been siding with Germany.
* The medieval wars between the French and the English were, in reality, largely an intra-familial argument over who was the true monarch of parts or all of the former territory, in parallel with a dispute over the terms of certain feudal land tenures. Indeed, large parts of the Hundred Years War were as much a French civil war as an external conflict with the English. |  |

Indeed. It does not have the status of a palace. | |

It might be other directions, also. Who he has been associating with, where his money has come from. There have already been links with China. What if it turns out he's been getting money (via intermediaries) from Putin? Even if he didn't know that was the ultimate source, it would be very deeply embarrassing. | |

I'm not sure having Mountbatten in your name is ideal either..... |
Perhaps with the Mountbatten name a fishing trip to the Sligo/Leitrim area might be a good idea.. | | | |

I'd like to know where the 12 million used to cover up his crimes came from and who amongst the royals knew it was being used to pay off a child sex abuse victim.
I'm guessing the Queen knew? | | | |

Will still lead a privileged life compared to 99.9% of the population. Moving to another house on the sandringham estate, car supplied by Land Rover, staff etc, it’s not like he will be signing on or registering as homeless with local council. The king will probably pay to ensure he has a quiet life away from the public and not damage the monarchy any further. Fergie has been told to sort herself out as she has £££’s from sale of a former house she owned. | | | |

Andrew Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
Or even the German

I think the best chance would be something happening in the US that he'd be dragged into. So far, hes been afforded royal protection if you remember the difficulties court officials had serving papers on him when the Giuffre case was going on. The one he paid £12million to make go away.
If another case starts up, this time he'd have none of that protection and they'd just be able to grab him and extradite his ass. | | | |

I believe the jelly bean paid the £12m. Andrew was her favourite child & no doubt she wanted to believe his denials.
While Elizabeth II was revered for some good reasons, she also did the monarchy a lot of harm by encouraging the expanding number of junior royal hangers-on. |  |
