1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Heather Duplessy Ellen. Well, even I didn't expect Prince Andrew 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: to lose the use of his titles that fast. It 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,159 Speaker 1: was about what half past five on Friday afternoon that 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: I said that he would lose them, and about seven 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: the next morning the news broke that he had. But then, 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: I suppose we can see why it happened so fast, right, 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: because since Saturday, since that happened, it has just been 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: one revelation after the other involving him. First, the police 9 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: are looking into reports that he tried to get his 10 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: personal protection officers to dig up dirt on Virginia Giuffrey, 11 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: his accuser. Then came the news that Fergie and the 12 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: girls were among the first to welcome Empstein out of jail, 13 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: and she kept trying to borrow money. And now you've 14 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: got the creepy detail emerging from Geoffrey's book about how 15 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: Andrew behaved. Now, that is why the announcement about Andrew's 16 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: titles came so quickly, because King Charles needed it to 17 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: happen before the newspaper started printing excerpts from the book, 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: so that the stuff that came out didn't hurt the 19 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: royals by association. But Honestly, I don't know that King 20 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: Charles has done enough, because Andrew hasn't actually lost anything, 21 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: which might be news to you, because the Palace has 22 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: done an epic spin job and trying to make it 23 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: look like Andrew's given up all of his titles. He 24 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: actually hasn't. He is still the Duke of York. He 25 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: just has agreed not to use it in public. And 26 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't know about ye. We saw how that went 27 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: with Meghan and Harry, didn't we They were also promising 28 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: not to use their HRH titles and their megs was 29 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: busted using it in a private note to someone. So 30 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: what's happening now is all the UK newspapers are unsatisfied 31 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: that calling for complete stripping of the titles. You got 32 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: the MPs coming under pressure to confront the royal family. 33 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: Just the sheer volume of coverage that this is getting 34 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: at the moment over in the UK suggests that this 35 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: could go on for days. That is not what King 36 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: Charles wants because in a couple of days he's got 37 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: a meeting with the Pope and he will not want 38 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: that meeting to be overshadowed by his playboy brother and 39 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: all the revelations coming out. I would say watch the 40 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: Space I reckon. There's a better than average chance that 41 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: Andrew hasn't even got his full punishment yet.
