Had to settle for a Chinese.
I hear prince Andrew was not invited to Xmas lunch with the Royals.

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.

A protected role...
The many homeless veterans now living on the street were at the sharp end!
But then they don't have royal connections
Do you think the 'king' will let baby brother suffer the same fate?
He’ll be tempted, but it would harm the Windsor brand if Andy was forced to beg for cash from some dodgy ollygarch.A protected role...

Homeless veterans struggle because of government policy, not royal wealth.
Who is the unelected head of state in this country?
A head of state who is happy to intervene in government policies that will affect him personally (and the one who came before) and the royal family as a whole , yet chooses not to have a say on those struggling veterans...
"Prince Charles exploited a controversial procedure to compel government ministers to secretly change a proposed law to benefit his landed estate, according to documents uncovered by the Guardian.
Official papers unearthed in the National Archives reveal ministers in John Major’s government yielded to his demands amid fears that resisting the heir to the throne could spark a constitutional crisis.
Ministers backed down to “avoid a major row” with the prince, effectively allowing him to force the hand of the elected government.
The disclosure of the documents provides further evidence of how the royal family has used the secretive procedure known as Queen’s consent to alter legislation to benefit their private interests"
Wake up and smell the coffee!
He was a chopper pilot. That's not a safe role.A protected role...

Fighting in a war also doesn't make him a decent human being though.
No problem with a little influence from Charlie boy, he does a good job keeping the countryside rural.
I think you'll find he's more concerned about how few crumbs he can let slip into the hands of the serfs whilst his family taxpayer grant rises by over 50% next year...
And of course he doesn't have to worry about IHT on his ill gotten vast swathes of UK land
You're describing something from the middle ages not the modern monarchy, which is basically an expensive showcase for tourists and foreign visit leaders. We probably get good value from it overall. Whether you would have it if starting from scratch is another matter. Things are not the same since her late majesty died though,I think you'll find he's more concerned about how few crumbs he can let slip into the hands of the serfs whilst his family taxpayer grant rises by over 50% next year...
