If there's a visible connection to Andrew, like a pub sign, they just need to change it to a portrait of a previous holder of the title. The last Duke of York was the Queen's father, before he became King. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could probably use something that has been extinct for a while. The Duke of York was Bertie's name before he became George VI. The Duke of York was Bertie's name before he became Edward VIII. But public sentiment about the necessity of having a Bertie in the family seems to be draining away quickly. Whenever Fergie goes on vacay alone, it's time to put a "suicide watch" alert on top of the teddie bears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did start off as Prince Edward of York, as he was the son of the then-Duke of York, later George V. Edward was also known to the family as David (his last middle name), not Bertie. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The title merges with the Crown if and when the holder succeeds to the throne. But there are previous Dukes of York who never became King. Here's one: Plus there wouldn't be anything wrong with using a portrait of, say, the Queen's father as a young man when he was Duke of York. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted January 26, 2022 Prince Andrew wants his case to go to jury trial according to media reports. I am genuinely surprised by this. I thought he would opt for a discrete out of court settlement. This means that a lot of dirty laundry will be aired in public and a spectacle of a media event is guaranteed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

None of his options now are good. So unless this is a bluff of an opening salvo I think this could go very badly for him. Even if the court finds in his favour the damage in the process I believe will be considerable. The thought of Fergie being called as a witness fills me with a combination of dread and second hand embarrassment. Not because I think she is malign or deceitful (in truth she was probably more genuine and definitely less malicious than the much sainted Princess Diana) but because she is so hapless, thoughtless and accident prone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, but this'll wipe the floor with OJ's ratings. Sadly F Lee Bailey and Johnny Cochoran who got him off are both deceased. Presumably this desperate move is an attempt to bounce her into taking a settlement rather than take the stand - meaning, the only option outside of those, that he ignore the US trail and angle to face justice in the UK, has been ruled out by his side. High stakes. Her side keep insisting it isn't about money, we'll soon see if they're telling the truth. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted January 26, 2022 Tbf, he has already had his trial by press and media and the general consensus is that he is guilty. The chances of him getting a 'fair' trial' is about zero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
