He didn't feature in the Kings speech but the media will keep him in the spotlight so they can knock him down; before then he survived because he was the Queens favourite. He's an arrogant so and so but I feel sorry for him over the court case because - as the finance people backing the girl who sued him realised - the Queen was never going to let him go to court and had the funds to settle. Also don't forget he served his country during the falklands crisis.
