It’s come out that Andrew tried to bully the late QEII to make his useless daughters Duchesses of York just before she died, to give them Duchy titles. He wanted her to amend the letters patent.
He knew, he lied, they are all a bunch of useless entitled grifters. Him, Sarah, his spawns.
Hi AnonymousRetired,
I am a bit shocked, but not surprised by this. After all the fuss he made about his daughters having to have HRH titles, passing on his title to one of them (in lieu of a son) is the next step.
I have read the article and I do not believe the claims that Her Late Majesty was mentally incompetent at the end of her life. All her public appearances showed she was still sharp as a tack in her final years. That casts doubt on the rest of the article in my eyes, as does the claim that Andrew wanted both of his daughters to be Duchesses of York, as he was bright enough to know that peerage titles are only ever held by one person at a time.
If one of his daughters would inherit the title after him, it would be the eldest, and that would involve more than a Letters Patent AFAIK. The Duke title would have to be returned to the crown and re-issued saying that it could pass to the female line and then to the son of the eldest daughter. The Mountbatten title mentioned in the article was issued with a special provision for passing down the title as the first Earl had no sons when elevated to the peerage. Andrew's Dukedom had no such provisions. (see under the cut for the wording of the two Letters Patent).
That being said, I can 100% believe that Andrew was nagging his mother for more status for himself and his daughters in the final years of her life.

It’s a lovely interview with Ms. Davy as I saw the interview mentioned in a Daily Mail article published today comparing Chelsy’s jewelry company to Meghan’s company.
Ms. Davy first started her career as a lawyer in London before deciding on a completely different career course in 2016 by creating her own jewelry and luxury travel companies.
She also talks about her surprise about motherhood as she admits she wasn’t thinking about having children in her teens or twenties.
Chelsy Davy and her husband and children are in the process of moving semi-full time to Mauritius. I wish them all the best!
Interesting slip of the tongue, Celta. Amanda Platell at the Daily Mail has stated in her latest DM op-ed that King Charles III has never seen his grandchildren Archie or Lilibet before. She's not the first journalist from Fleet Street to admit this on the record but man, the first journo that writes the full complete tell-all truth about the Sussex illegitimate kids scam will make a small fortune as continuing to pretend Harry's "kids" are legit is irritating AF.
Hi Nonny,
It is obvious that the reporters know more about the births of the Sussex children than they are saying, and like you said, it is so irritating. I would love for someone to sit down and tell the whole truth, from A to Z, and blow the Harkles lies out of the water. I know it would be hard to do this because of privacy laws but I wish it would happen.
At least we have some more confirmation that The King has never seen his Sussex grandkids. A small bright spot in the mess.
I think Her Majesty had a childhood love of teddy bears as she was born the same year as Winnie the Pooh. And yes, Buckingham Palace did reach out to the filmmakers of the recent Paddington Bear films to see about doing a skit with Queen Elizabeth II for her Jubilee, which of course ended up being a smashing success! :)
Hi Nonny,
That makes sense. I loved the Jubilee skit with Paddington Bear. It was the highlight of the event imo.
This is disgusting. People Magazine reported that Harry was invited to attend the Warrior Games in San Antonio and now there's video footage of him serving people there. It bugs me this horrid spoiled brat is being allowed to launder his reputation off the backs of veterans... be it in Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, Germany, etc. I want Harry to get a public comeuppance over this as veterans everywhere deserve better than this royal leech using them to try to repair his own crap reputation.
Hi Nonny,
The veterans do deserve better.
The bright side of Harry's stunt for me is that most people can see it is a stunt and so it has further damaged his reputation. The publications that the Harkles pay to print their news, such as People magazine, may report on it favourably, but everywhere else I think it didn't even make the news. The comments I have seen on it are almost universally bad, with people seeing this as Harry trying to improve his reputation and judging him accordingly.
You might see your come-uppance in July, when Harry has to return to the UK and front the Invictus Games. Rumour is that people are not happy with Harry's non-performance in getting sponsors for the games.

Elon becoming a trillionaire today has triggered the liberals; they all big mad, screaming how obscene it is that one man should have so much when so many have so little. A lot have said he contributes nothing, that he’s not charitable, etc.
But he does a lot of good with HIS money (that he can do whatever the hell he wants with and owes these whiny fucks exactly nothing). Hell, just today he made 4000 people millionaires, including a janitor.
