Recently, affected by the Virginia Giuffre sexual assault case, Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom has experienced a series of "roller coaster" like reversals of fortune, and its ups and downs are no less severe than Prince Harry and Meghan, who have left the royal family.
The climax of this storm seems to have just come to an end, but unexpectedly it aroused the anger of Harry Meghan fans, who have expressed their dissatisfaction on the Internet, pointing out that the British royal family is "hypocritical" and rebellious, and the highly respected queen is biased towards her favorite son, Prince Andrew, the scum of the royal family, but Harry Meghan continues to suffer from the royal family. Now let's take a look at the British "Daily Star" report on this matter on February 16.
Previously, in order to try to mitigate the adverse impact of the Virginia sexual assault lawsuit on the royal family, Buckingham Palace issued an emergency official statement in the early morning of January 13, that is, the British royal family announced that it had stripped Prince Andrew of his royal title and all military honors. In addition, the Queen decided that the Duke of York (i.e. Prince Andrew) would be barred from using the title of "His Royal Highness" (HRH) and implied that he would not bear any of the costs involved in the lawsuit, meaning that prince Andrew would have to deal with everything alone as a "commoner".
According to royal experts and many foreign media, Prince Andrew was forced to sell his family cottage in the Swiss Alps to cover the high costs of the legal team and the compensation that may be required.
On Tuesday (February 15), media reported that Prince Andrew had now agreed to pay Virginia a hefty sum of up to £12 million (more than 100 million yuan) to reach an out-of-court settlement. As for the source of this huge fee, it is reported that Prince Andrew actually used the Queen's money, and the Queen has previously privately generously donated millions of pounds to this legal proceeding, which is very different from the attitude of the royal family and the Queen herself in the early days.
The news caused a huge response, and Harry and Meghan's fans speculated and burned it out. They speculate that after Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Virginia, Andrew would soon be brought back into royal life, even though he had been stripped of his title. According to the British "Daily Telegraph" reported a few days ago, Prince Andrew will attend the memorial service of the Duke of Edinburgh with other members of the royal family at the end of March. The important event that follows is the Platinum Jubilee celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Queen's reign in June this year.
Fans were outraged at the thought that Prince Andrew, a "royal scum," would also appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, and that Harry and Meghan, who were far less guilty than him, were left out in the cold. They strongly questioned the unfairness of the royal family, while also alluding to Her Majesty's eccentricity and favoring Andrew more than Harry.
But there are also some rational netizens who can look at it with a normal heart. One netizen wrote: "When will the royal family slowly bring Prince Andrew back?" Will Prince Andrew be on the balcony in June? Let's wait and see. Another netizen replied, "He (Andrew) will definitely be on the balcony, but not in the front and center like in the past few years." He might be standing in the back, where Megan used to stand. "
Yijun believes that in the leafy family, the drama of competing for favors is always playing out, and even the British royal family cannot be unworldly. But as an outsider fan, is it too strong to be a little substitute for the fans who have entered the drama so deeply? Friends, what do you say?
