They were smart to leave the country this week.
that makes sense. i dont think the public would love their titles going. doesnt seem worth the drama
They are no longer the daughters of a prince. They should lose their titles too. They are also involved in this.
They haven’t pissed off Charles.
Yet.
They retain their titles because they are male-line grandchildren of a Sovereign, and they haven’t done anything to lose them. James and Louise also have their princely titles, though they have never used them.
Beatrice looks a bit frail – anyway, it’s not their fault that their parents are disasters. .
Are they even working royals now? It seems like no one is quite sure what they want to do with them – do we treat them like rich housewives and let them live their lives or do we make them show up for things? The art of the socialite is gone huh.
They haven’t done anything wrong, and do not deserve having their titles taken away.
I mean, the royal family has always separated Andrew and Fergie from the their daughters.
Of course they will. They have their titles because they’re male-line grandchildren of a monarch, not because their father was titled. Queen Elizabeth was still the mother of Andrew, formerly known as Prince, so they hold those titles because of their grandmother and their father being a man (literally, not figuratively).
How on earth does Fergie think she’s entitled to Adelaide Cottage? She’s not a royal. She’s divorced from Andrew. And now he’s not a royal!
IMO the punishment should be firm, harsh, and directed at the offender (Andrew) and no one else, or else KC risks coming off looking out-of-control and vengeful. I think KC achieved all of this here. I’m not fully applauding because I do think he should’ve done this years ago, but I think this was well done.
Another thought on this: if KC had also punished Andrew’s daughters, we’d be here debating the fairness of his actions. Whereas no one is questioning that he made the right move stripping Andrew of his titles, and taking away his lease
Solely from a pragmatic point of view, this makes sense—the girls’ titles are frankly the last bit of leverage they have over Fergie and Andrew that doesn’t involve dragging things into court.
This is to keep A and S from writing books and doing interviews.
Can anyone explain to an American??? If I understand the title of Prince or Princess it means that is conveyed by the monarch and applies to the children and grandchildren of the monarch, meaning QE2. And to strip the title would be an act of Parliament. So how was the threat of stripping the title of Princess for Beatrice and Eugenie even a real threat? From the little I know it would not have happened because it would take an act of Parliament for Andrew to lose the title of Prince and Beatrice and Eugenie are innocent as far as I know.
What will become of his long suffering staff? Also, who will be the first to NOT bow or curtsey to him in the morning?
Good – they should not be punished because of him. I cant imagine what they’re going through
