End of the Road Part One...
Ah well, here we are then: one down, one to go. HRH - sorry Mr. Andrew Windsor - has been cast out beyond the official Royal Pale and denuded of epaulet, mantle and sword. Exile to a remote Royal Holding must surely follow. Don't get me wrong, my levity is not intended to make light of his transgressions, but at least allow me the schadenfreude while it lasts. It demonstrates at the very least that in this hyper-connected, always on world, the old guard are no longer entirely beyond account.
What that ultimately means in practice for the man in question is moot, but surely the outcome of his civil trial in the States is not in question and a very large settlement must ensue, possibly followed by further sanctions. Outside the protective bubble of the Royal Family, and having one assumes now 'limited' financial resources, he is going to find things very much more real than hitherto-fore in his pampered life. Not before time.
