The Queen wants Prince Andrew, Beatrice & Eugenie to pick up more royal work

Prince Harry Marries Ms. Meghan Markle - Windsor Castle

HRH Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, is not actually fired or taking a break from royal duties or persona non grata within the royal family. I know that’s shocking, that these a–holes would give lip service to the “we totally fired Andrew” thing, but here we are. The Queen in particular seems to be taking a special interest into personally rehabilitating Andrew’s image, making sure that she’s photographed riding with him and going to church with him, and even tasking him with official government business, like going to the Chinese embassy to deliver her sympathies about the Coronavirus.

Just how tone-deaf are these people? No one can save them from themselves, not even Prince Charles telling his mummy that her actions are hurting the crown. Of course this announcement of their stop by the embassy came alongside this story in the Daily Mail:

With Prince Harry and Meghan busy making their fortune in America, and Prince Andrew withdrawn indefinitely from royal duties, there is a gaping hole in ‘The Firm’. And now the Queen has come up with what she hopes could be a solution. She is understood to want Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to carry out public engagements for the Royal Family.

‘Her Majesty thinks that her granddaughters should attend more royal events and carry out more duties,’ a courtier tells me. Prince Charles was previously thought to be opposed to Beatrice and Eugenie taking on official roles because this would conflict with his vision of a ‘slimmed-down’ monarchy when he becomes king. However, I can reveal that the Prince of Wales would now be content for them to step up.

‘The Royal Family has already become slimmed down with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex giving up public duties,’ a close friend of Charles tells me. ‘As the older members of the family retire, it will become slimmer still, so there are spaces to be filled. His Royal Highness is very fond of his nieces and would not stand in the way if they did want to carry out more duties.’

[From The Daily Mail]

I actually don’t doubt that Prince Charles is somewhat okay with the York princesses picking up some additional royal work. But Charles knows – as do the rest of us – that the York princesses are being used to Trojan-horse Andrew back into “working royal” status. I don’t even think this is Andrew bumbling along, wanting to come back. This is the Queen being an a–hole and thinking no one would notice.

Also: People Magazine reports that Andrew will walk Beatrice down the aisle on her wedding day. It shouldn’t be that big of a deal considering there won’t be live TV coverage, nor will there be a carriage ride. Still, there will be photos and probably some kind of documentary special. I feel sorry for Beatrice – her parents are going to hog whatever little spotlight there is on her wedding day. A source tells People: “Beatrice would never do anything to be hurtful to her father. He’s going to be by her side and she’s going to be by his.” Ugh.

    I hate that we’re going to see more of Andrew since Meghan and Harry left.

    • Green Desert says:

      Exactly. This family continues to show us that they were more bothered by Meghan Markle than they are by this criminal.

    • Guest with Cat says:

      They can show him off all they like. I don’t have to look at him. I’ll just be here to mock him and his stupid mother in the comments.

    • Lucy De Blois says:

      I knew it and I said before. The Crown, as it is today, will never let anyone fall in disgrace. Unless that one marries a bi-racial partner, forced down the throat with a title.

      Since the beggining it’s being as clear as water that Andrew has her protection. I remember I wrote she will never confront directly, making an statment. But those pictures, from the early days of the scandal, speak volumes.

      And yes, be prepared for Andrew II, the mission, Andrew III, the rescue, Andrew IV, the return.

  2. Andrew’s Nemesis says:

    Can we have a referendum on the monarchy? Now? NOW?

  3. Ann says:

    Sarah’s there too? OMG

    • vesper says:

      I KNOW!! It is absolutely pathetic and reprehensible on the Queen’s part! Andrew and his progeny should be exiled! I’m sick of these entitled twats getting away with destroying people’s lives.

    • holly hobby says:

      Yes why is she there? She’s divorced from the Firm. This whole racketeering bunch.

  4. Sofia says:

    I told you all that the Yorks would push to get themselves back into the spotlight/be working royals

    Wouldn’t be surprised if we got an announcement straight after the wedding

    • (TheOG)jan90067 says:

      Freeloader is prepping for when Philip kicks the bucket. You KNOW she’s itching for Pedo to remarry her once that happens.

      And yes, they will make themselves front and center leading up to and at the wedding.

  5. Becks1 says:

    I feel like this is a test balloon to see how people react.

    It doesn’t say they would be FT royals, just that they would step up more. But we have seen through Sussexit that you cannot be a part time royal. So presumably they would have to be full time. But what about their spouses? Are we going to add 4 full time royals to make up for Harry and Meghan?

    • bros says:

      I love that they dusted off Sarah of York for this virus greeting card. House of Windsor is definitely on the struggle bus.

      Windsors: ” We are so sorry about the toxic virusy black market-incubated ickiness”

      China: well, then why did you send him over to our house?

      • Elle says:

        this funny hee!

      • HK9 says:

        “Virus greeting card” indeed. For a long time, I’ve always felt a little sorry for Fergie, but after this I don’t. After going through all she’s been through with the RF, she still chose to be a bitch to H & M. She of all people should know how bad things can get. This won’t end well for either her or their children. Fergie is the queen of bad choices. Like, woman, stay out of the pic. Don’t leave tangible evidence of your thirst to get back into the family, gawd. She’ll marry Andrew again, and they’ll both continue to find a way to be involved in yet another scandal because they just can’t help themselves.

      • (TheOG)jan90067 says:

        😂😂😂😂 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. EXCELLENT! 😄

      • Jay says:

        Virus greeting card! That’s amazing.

      • Ann says:

        struggle bus, virus greeting card, this is so funny and accurate

    • Mac says:

      Andrew and Fergie at an official event is just throwing it in taxpayers faces.

      • I am so glad the Sussexes have exited this toxic environment. As to the York’s, I would bet that at least 95% of the family don’t think he is guilty of anything. Thus, they don’t see it as supporting a sexual deviant, a possible criminal, or an immoral man who consistently makes horrendous choices in any role he performs in — they just see this as keeping us peasants at bay. I’m sure in the privacy of their many palaces it is all about poor Andrew and not about those nasty, lying little hos he bedded. His ‘stepping back’ was never anything more than quieting the masses after the unbelievably stupid tv interview. Tick tick, time passing and he will rise again. Lastly — just look at that shit eating grin on Fergie. I’m sure she’s thinking — screw you Phillip — I’m back and I’m staying. I’m not waiting until you’re dead. Everyone says the Sussexes leaving infuriated Phillip. I say the Queen and Andrew will have upset Phillip even more with this roll out of Fergie.

  6. lucy2 says:

    Disgusting.
    I feel sorry for his daughters. Truly.
    (And that blue dress is a nightmare).

  7. Aria says:

    Lol only queen wants not chuck. Chuck will never allow this. That’s why in Sussex departure that they said they will revisit the agreement in one year. Chuck hate yorks and York girls . The wont do it. Mummy can dream all she wants

    • Snappyfish says:

      @aria I think you are right. Charles doesn’t want Andy around & this was BEFORE all the Epstein crap came about. Philip detests Sarah so I’m guessing HM will be buttressed by the 2 men & realize what a ridiculously bad idea this is. Randy Pedo Andy needs to take a seat & never get up again

      • (TheOG)jan90067 says:

        BUT let’s not forget, Philip is 98 and NOT in good health. In his last public pics he looked like death warmed over. HE is the ONLY thing standing btwn Freeloader rejoining the family at this point. Once he’s gone, Mummy won’t deny her Pedo-Snookums pretty much anything, even over Charles’ objections. Count on it.

      • Doesn’t look like the Queen or Andrew are waiting until Phillip is gone based on Fergie’s participation at that dinner. Seems like they’re trying to push him in to a heart attack. Which of course will be blamed on Meghan.

      • Lady D says:

        Even if he was truly furious over them leaving for Canada, at 98 he’s going to need to be reminded of that fact if and when he asks about Harry. If it does infuriate him then those telling him are trying to hasten his demise.

    • AMA1977 says:

      I know The Crown is fictionalized and not completely historically accurate, but I am continually struck when watching it by how QEII seems to have made wrong choices with regard to her family at every turn. She ostriches ’til she can’t anymore, then does the complete opposite of the right thing.

      • Hope says:

        Someone commenting here nailed it when they said that Liz hates discomfort. Her entire life is set up to make her feel as in control and as comfortable as possible and everyone else works around that.

    • notasugarhere says:

      I agree. Charles does not want Beatrice and Eugenie on the payroll. He thought he’d be able to ease out Andrew, Edward, and Sophie after HM passed. Along came Harry and Meghan leaving PLUS the Queen’s inexcusable defense of her rapist second son. Charles cannot send Andrew to the wolves without destroying the monarchy, but I’ll bet he hopes to exile him to Royal Lodge and Switzerland after HM passes.

  8. Tiffany says:

    This would have been alright if it was just Bea and her dude going there.

    I mean….it is not that difficult. Even Eugenie had the good sense not to be there.

    Just how much money are Randy and Fergie getting from Chinese companies/businessmen?

  9. Emily says:

    Tin foil tiara theory:

    Bullying Harry and Megan our of England was to create a news cycle that overshadowed Prince Andrew’s sex crimes and to create an opening for him and his daughters to take on a more prominent role. It was all Eugenie and Beatrice, angry at being sidelined all these years who spoke to Harry about how incredible the secondary Royal life is; they knew the public wouldn’t have an appetite for the wedding of the daughter of a disgraced prince unless the public needed a symbol of royal unity of/when Harry and Meghan left.

    I doubt they are this malicious/cunning, but if this were a soap opera, I’d write this story line. Al this time we thought it was Bill … dun dun dun …

    • Erinn says:

      I am not sure that the girls are that cunning. But I can imagine their grifter parents are.

      Honestly, I think there was never just ONE household leaking things. From the start I felt Sarah and Andrew were behind at least a chunk of the anti H/M sentiment. They’re skeezy cockroaches, and it does play well for them that M&H have left. They’ve always wanted to push the girls into more of a role, so I don’t doubt that they have had their hands in this.

      • Smalltown Girl says:

        Erin . I agree that I have always believed that it was multiple households and the York’s were responsible for a chunk. I think Charles is too.

      • Erinn says:

        Smalltown Girl

        It could read like an episode of Arrested Development or Always Sunny in Philadelphia or something. Everyone is so terrible and they’re all acting for their best interests, but they’re kind of just bad at it lol. I wouldn’t be surprised if one leaker didn’t know the next leaker was leaking. It’s just all so shady.

      • Emmitt says:

        It was 4 households against the Sussexes:

        Queen’s Household: Because Harry & Meghan wouldn’t do as they were told & were threatening the Cambridges/Rest of Royals with their work ethic and charm

        Charles’ Household: Because Harry started thinking and acting for himself more once Meghan came around

        Yorks’ Household: Because they were jealous that the attention that should’ve gone to their blood princesses was going to the black foreign commoner from America

        Cambridge/Middleton Household: Because Won’t & Kan’t felt the attention & credit Harry & Meghan was getting should’ve gone to them

      • Becks1 says:

        My theory has always been that there were a variety of people involved in the start of the Great Smear Campaign (starting around the time of the pregnancy announcement) but I think over time it was mainly the Cambridges, possibly as a distraction from the Rose gossip. I don’t think the Queen really was part of it though bc she would not be threatened by their work ethic or whatever else.

        I DO think the Queen played a part insomuch as she made no move at that point to publicly protect the Sussexes, as she should have.

        That said – we can debate all day who leaked what and why, no one actually knows, but this quote from @Erinn really sums it all up IMO:

        “Everyone is so terrible and they’re all acting for their best interests, but they’re kind of just bad at it lol. I wouldn’t be surprised if one leaker didn’t know the next leaker was leaking. It’s just all so shady.”

      • Between the 3 York women, Fergie upsets me the most. I mean she was invited by Harry and Meghan to their marriage. And who of us can forget her vamping that day. William and Charles pointedly excluded her from William’s wedding. Yet, Fergie — I think — has worked her little heart out screwing with the Sussexes. Fergie is one nasty piece of work from everything I’ve ever read about her. She is supposedly very nasty to constantly revolving staff, she is a grifter, and really thinks she is still a top dog in the royal barnyard.

    • Lucy De Blois says:

      To be perfect your tin foil tiara has to add: Bill, yes. He was the one who was being overshadowed by (what he got used to have) that joke of a brother, always hanging with the wrong people and making him to look sooooo good! And serious, and very royal….

      And to be even more perfect, you also have to include that H&M wanted a way out of the royal ROTA of the press. Ohhhh….. Stupid me. If I had known what royal ROTA really was before I would never have thought so ill of W&K. Of course they were fighting H&M, but Harry had to go the moment he started his game to push out the monopoly of royal information. That was the zero point.

  10. Lori says:

    QEII has really taken a Duggar like approach to bring the golden child back. Pray the perv away with church trips. Lordt.

    • (TheOG)jan90067 says:

      Didn’t Sister-Diddler come back to the fold, unscathed? Even his Stepford wife is still with him, birthin’ those babies year after year.

      So yeah, good analogy!

    • Lucy De Blois says:

      It’s always good to take church trips. But in his particular case….. No!

  11. Lady Keller says:

    Is she seriously that tone deaf and oblivious?
    It’s time for Charles to rule or else it’s time to completely get rid of the monarchy. I don’t care if God anointed you as the chosen one or not, you’re a clueless old hag.

    • Betsy says:

      I think age has dulled her significantly. Lots of her other missteps (like keeping the boys out of the public eye after Diana died) have had an understandable motivation (protecting them), if not always one we like. But this? Lady, he’s not promiscuous, he’s a rapist.

    • Capepopsie says:

      I doubt God has anything to do with
      this mess whatsoever.

    • Lucy De Blois says:

      She is the Queen. And she’s doing the queen-thing. Ruling and showing her will.

  12. HK9 says:

    He shouldn’t be there-period.

  13. ccsays says:

    Have the Chinese not suffered enough without inflicting sweaty Andrew on them as well?!

  14. Betsy says:

    If only – IF ONLY – there were some sort of backup prince waiting behind Prince Charles, someone who doesn’t have a lot on his plate. It’s weird that in a hereditary monarchy that there’s been no one identified, no future Prince of Wales, no future future king who could possibly be tasked with this.

    • Agree Betsy. They act like the Sussexes leaving left a 90% vacancy in meet and greets. That the hole they left was so big, it’s going to take 4-5 royals to step into the breech.

  15. Deanne says:

    How can the Queen think that the British public will be okay with this? It’s like they’re so unbelievable tone deaf in every way. He’s refusing to cooperate with a sex trafficking investigation involving people that he’s had very close ties to. He’s been accused of raping underage girls on multiple occasions. I seriously think that this could spell the end of the BRF as we know it. If they really think that am accused rapist and his seemingly useless spawn are the perfect choice to fill the void left by Harry and Meghan, they are really, really stupid. How insulated is the Queen to even consider this a possibility?If she’s really this out or touch, she needs to retire immediately. It’s 2020, not 1820. The British monarchy have tons of money , but no real power. They need to get their heads out of their asses.

    • And yet, I just read that there is virtually no public outcry or press response to the Andrew delivering Queen’s message to Chinese ambassador. I don’t think the British give a shilling if he returns to the fold — as long as the black Duchess stays gone.

    • Lucy De Blois says:

      Please, dear, count on DM articles and the three hundred e-mails they have to contain the damages and I think most of the people will be ok with.

  16. jules says:

    I mean, if we just hide all the underage girls from him, everything will be fine!

  17. Ladybug says:

    I’m so glad I’m not a British citizen because I’d be protesting the monarchy itself at this point. Like which of the stubborn people who works for the Queen can’t explain why this is such a bad idea. Stuff like this makes me question why the exist in the first place.

  18. Flying fish says:

    These people disgust me.

  19. GirlMonday says:

    I have LOST all respect for these people. The monarchy is a hustle, and these people are disgusting, inbred, entitled grifters, whose ancestors raped and plundered the black and brown world. And we glorify these unintelligent a$$hats, like they are somehow better and more special than us. Please. Don’t let that old lady’s diamonds fool you. She is a basic old lady who is trying to publicly rehabilitate her rapist son, instead of privately loving him while letting him be held publicly accountable for his CRIMES!!!!!!! DISGUSTING!

  20. tarynfox says:

    This is just revolting.

    And I don’t feel sorry for Beatrice. She’s standing by her dad. Has she ever shown or expressed any sympathy for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims? It’s not that hard.

  21. MellyMel says:

    The hell is Sarah there for?!?

  22. Fabuleuse15 says:

    Aren’t working royals giving HRHs? If so, then oh, dear.

  23. Belinda says:

    Here’s the thing: I don’t think there ever was a scenario where QE would NOT have brought Pedo Andy back! As long as she is alive and the queen, she will bring him back into the limelight. Whatever he does, whatever may come out, she will bring him back.

  24. S808 says:

    Yeah, Andrew is absolutely gonna remarry Fergie once Philips finally kicks the bucket. He’ll become a working royal again and maybe negotiate a deal for his daughters in exchange for them to be working royals as well while the Queen is alive. He obviously had a hand in the Sussex departure and so far it’s paying off. Other than the Sussexes, I don’t feel bad for anyone involved.

  25. KellyRyan says:

    Recall the photo on Celebitchy of the four generations? What woman poses with her family with a purse on her arm? I’m laughing again, Queenie is a prop.

  26. June says:

    Certainly there must be lots of this charity work needs doing. I can not understand why Anne’s and Andrew’s offspring can’t help out. It’s the family business. There is the thing that Anne’s children have no titles. And Anne is the major work horse for the family. But Andrew’s two are Princesses and do not help out. And what about Margo’s children? Certainly no one in that family cares what I think, but the laziness there astounds me.

    • (TheOG)jan90067 says:

      Margaret’s son, (Lindley is it?), WILL take over The Prince’s Trust, but that’s it. I don’t think Sarah Chatto does anything but Trooping Balcony? Maybe they all do Ascot? But no “duties”.

    • notasugarhere says:

      The goal is to decrease the size of the working royal family and eliminate all cadet branches. The goal is NOT to increase the number living off the taxpayers.

  27. Lowrider says:

    I hope they pick up more royal work as they are a great representation of the british royal family.

    • (TheOG)jan90067 says:

      If by representation you mean parasites sucking on the taxpayers’ teat for showing up and waving…sure. They’re GREAT at that!

      • Lowrider says:

        The yorks are grifters no different from any other member of that family. All of them are hustling to keep their social status and remain government funded.

    • Lady D says:

      A pedophile is a great representation of the British royal family? Cause he’s the best at it?

  28. GR says:

    I keep on thinking of him as the Duke of Yuck.

  29. Ugh says:

    Lady, we just fired him, have you forgotten?

  30. kerwood says:

    There’s no question that these people are disgusting. Prince Phillip must be at death’s door for this fuckery to be going on out in the open.

    But what’s even more disgusting are the people who are okay with this. Where’s the protest? Will there be tv specials condemning the Duke of York? People were screaming about not wanting to give a penny to support the Sussexes but apparently don’t have a single problem forking out their hard earned cash to support a sex-offender. We know the royal family are horrible racists, but what does this say about the British people?

  31. Suzieq359 says:

    Fergie nasty self has played a big part in Sussexit. She has been living with Andrew for years, decades even, and enjoyed the benefit of being a royal. She was pissed that the pregnancy announcement came out at her daughter’s wedding so I think she conspired with Andrew and her daughters, the real princesses as she told them, to leak stories and lies to get their revenge on H&M. The fact that she was at this dinner and being referred to as Andrew’s family is disgusting. No good will come to her.

  32. Jana says:

    I hope they are smart enough to keep Andy away from underage girls.
