Here are some photos of Prince Andrew today, arriving at the Buckingham Palace Christmas luncheon. I’m not surprised that Andrew is attending this luncheon following his withdrawal from “public duties” several weeks ago. I am surprised that Andrew was photographed entering the palace at the main entrance though. Surely this is one of those moments where Andrew would want to slip in the back way and try to draw as little attention as possible? This is not the only palace party Andrew has attended this week either – he also made an appearance at the Buckingham Palace staff party on Monday:
Prince Andrew was seen leaving Buckingham Palace Monday evening after attending the Queen’s staff Christmas party alongside Prince Charles – who forced him to retire from royal duties last month in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Virginia Roberts, who said she was brought to Britain at the aged of 17 by disgraced billionaire Epstein’s former girlfriend in 2001, today accused the Duke of York of putting his two children through ‘hell’.
Hours later the prince was seen leaving the palace in a dark green Bentley, sitting in the driver’s seat, with an unknown man in the passenger side. He left at around 7.30pm as festivities continued for the Queen’s annual Christmas party for her employees.
A Palace source told MailOnline that as the party was not a public event it would not be unusual for Prince Andrew to attend as it does not fall into any of the family’s official royal duties. The Queen hosts the party each year and pays for it out of her own pocket to thank her royal workers, with canapes and drinks in the Palace’s State rooms.
So, Andrew attended the staff party, he’s attending the royal lunch today, he’ll be in Sandringham for Christmas, and he’ll make the trip to the church at Sandringham with the Queen. Something tells me that as far as the Queen is concerned, Andrew is still her favorite and must be protected at all costs. I’m also starting to believe that by February 2020, we’re going to be hearing “he’s been punished enough” stories from “royal sources.” They’ll be pushing for Andrew to be “reinstated” as a “senior royal” months before Beatrice’s wedding. Count on it.

Man is he the worst. What an entitled pervert.
Scumbag
Nor surprised, really. He, and his mother, still doesn’t seem to get what a pariah he is.
Nothing says, “Happy holidays and well done staff” like forcing them to spend time around a rapist.
THIS
I hope this corpulent slug gets gout from his festive lunch.
I literally LOL’d at this.
I hope all the young female staffers are being protected from him
But was the luncheon catered by the Woking Pizza Express? #neverforget
@Rapunzel just died laughing! Thank you
Ugh, he’s the worst.
If he’s going to attend these kinds of functions, he should so as privately as possible.
Also all this shows that the Queen really is restricting him as minimally as possible.
He *wants* to be seen. Remember, he still believes he did nothing wrong.
I think you should always use the photo of him from the infamous interview, where he has fangs and looks demonical.
The royal family cannot treat Andrew like he did something wrong, or they would have to explain why they are not FULLY treating him like he did something wrong (criminal charges, investigation into his finances, etc.). So their only option is to treat him like he did nothing wrong.
If they are attempting to “protect” Andrew then why go through the sham of having him “step back”. This makes them look complicit to have him show up at everything like it’s business as usual. And Andrew can be investigated by the authorities whether the royals like it or not. I think the truth is, they don’t feel he’s done anything wrong period and that whole stepping back from duties thing was to try and save face and end the bad PR.
H&M regarding this…
“We OUT!”
PEACE!!!!
So much for “reading him the riot act” and “stepping back from his duties” . Looks like business as usual for this bunch. Let’s just hope the charities and organizations he was working with don’t forget that he is toxic. If they do, people should remind them and quickly.
I have absolutely no doubt that the article is right. By February, he’ll not only be reinstated as a senior royal member, but he’s going to attend his events normally, like nothing ever happened including her daughter’s wedding, being congratulated for everyone around & etc. Soon, the tabloids won’t talk about those stories anymore and, what I’m almost sure, no interviews with FBI or whoever is in charge of investigating that horrible crime.
And Mummy will hold his birthday party after all.
No class, no shame
He’s the worst and super gross.
He’s beyond disgusting. Are used to think well of the queen, but those days are over. They are all cretins
