The recent death of Lester Piggott reminded me that he was stripped of his OBE when he was imprisoned for tax fraud.
Andrew Windsor still holds his awards: Knight Commander of the Victorian Order (KCVO) and a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter (KG)
You couldn't make it up.

He was allowed to keep the Knight (of the) Upright National Treasure though.
In fact I think they awarded him a second one.

My vote ‘s with the option in post #10.
Royal Flunky: "News of support for your re-introduction into public life on Good Morning Britain this morning Sir."
Prince Andrew: "At last! Who's speaking up for me? Emily Maitlis? David Attenborough? Stormzy? Don't tell me - my useless brother has finally grown a pair?"
Royal Flunky: "Err, no Sir. The Archbishop of Canterbury."
Prince Andrew: "Oh ffs. Back to Wordle."

that is a Very problematical argument isn’t it!
I played cricket many years ago with a guy and was very friendly with him as he was a fellow Albion fan and turned out he was “ interfering” with the young players in his charge. Never ever a clue!!!!!
Think he ended up in Australia.

He never sweat at a 12 million figure so
What disgusts me is the the CoE, in common with many other religions, that has an appalling record of covering up child sexual abuse cases for decades is so quick to play the forgiveness card towards people like the DoY.
How does the ABoC think an appeal like this sounds towards those victims of sexual and physical abuse by CoE priests, nuns and the like? Those victims that have been traumatised for years and are still fighting for justice. Those victims that have died without seeing their abusers punished for their horrific crimes. All because the Church from the top to the bottom has been complicit in covering up the problem in their house for generations.
As I say, it's not even just the CoE - it's across the religious spectrum - but this statement by the most senior cleric in the country sickens me.

in the old days sexual abuse and domination was used as a form of control and subservience , it was the way it was back then and i"m talking through the middle ages until probably the early 60's in some cases .....all we can do is try to support the victims of those situations and try to ensure that it doesn't happen any more and if it does it is criminalised , the sad fact is that on a global basis domestic and sexual abuse is a major problem , it is no longer institutionalised it is now at large , out in the public domain ....perhaps we , as a race , aren't that nice...!!??

What frightfully dreadfully awful timing for her majesty, Prince Andrew must be devastated at having to conveniently miss the celebrations, I mean, of all the times to get Covid when there are so few cases around, that really is extremely bad luck wouldn’t one say.

I agree , testing positive is the perfect way to keep him out of the public glare but yet still see his family I suspect .
I'm sure he'll keep himself amused in isolation, rifling through his Jimmy Saville 'signature' scrap book
The chances of him actually having covid are slimmer than Gary Gilmours eye lids
But there's always hope he picked up a new new killer monkey variant that strangles the balls and works its way up to the neck
Well, it's really just one high profile establishment figure trying to smooth the return of another high profile establishment figure back to a life of privilege.... but I am not sure Justin Welby should feel empowered to advise on the time span of public disdain towards the D of Y......
I can't image the Archbishop of Canterbury would have passed comment on the disgraced son of the Head of The Church of England and the Monarch without the tacit agreement / approval of the Palace. I'm sure this was Welby 'testing the waters' of public opinion on behalf of the Royal Family.
