I read it more as temporarily keeping him out of the public eye until it goes away.
From what I’ve read , the impression I get is that he essentially has the palace’s support.
I think the 'impressions' (as opposed to actual facts) people get from what they read generally tend to reinforce whatever 'impressions' they previously held! I suspect that Andrew has been given pelters by the senior members of the family - and I don't think there's anything temporary about standing him down from Royal duties either!

However for someone who has had to sell up his Skiing Chalet (because he couldn't afford it in the first place) and got Epstein to pay off his ex-wife's debt (which would hardly cover a roll of Number 11 wallpaper).....

Who is paying his legal bills ?

Just found there's an official royal family website. Possibly meaningless but Andrew's page has almost nothing on it while Harry's, as closest comparison, has loads going back historically as well as more recent. Looks like Andrew doesn't just have no duties now, but his history is erased by the family too.

I can't think of any that have done a "pretty good job". The Queen is consistently praised for her role but all I see is a woman who has done a fairly ordinary role, unopposed for a very very long time, In any other walk of life that wouldn't be celebrated. She alongside her mother also shipped her cousins off to a mental asylum without a single visit so that their illness' were not seen by the outside world.

They are an awful bunch and it doesn't help us or them when the media constantly build them up to be something they are not.

Its about time this country woke up and realised that hereditary head of states is a thing of the past. I can't get my head around the fact that for the next 100 years we already know who will be the next 3 heads of state. They will be male, white, Church of England, heterosexual etc etc. So much for multicultural, modern democratic Britain. They don't represent me!

Do you trust the general public to do any better electing a head of state though?

Can't really moan about male representation either aren't we currently living through the longest reign of a female monarch, I think that is something to be proud of and definitely better than some other societies where women often have to play second fiddle to their husbands or male relatives.

If you aren't happy until we are governed by a gay black female atheist then you will be waiting a long time

If Queenie fancies looking out for her people, she could give Johnson a kick up the arse.

I do trust the public to vote in and out a HOS. Yes.

A republic may happen in my life time. Perhaps sooner should Charlie live up to expectation.
