Monarchy is institutionalised nepotism and inherited privilege; it’s anti-meritocratic, anti-democratic, unaccountable, secretive, demands deference, abuses public finances and underpins our corrupt honours system. It must go. AbolishTheMonarchy NotMyKing

For one minute I thought he gave it to Andrew none womaniser

So FINALLY honouring their late father's express wish that Edward inherited the title, which Charles wanted to give to his granddaughter instead.

Ugh. The quicker they’re abolished the better.

As most people struggle with bills someone rich by birth gets another title. 🙄

Cheapskate.

Andrew 'furious' King could ban him wearing ceremonial robes to coronationThe disgraced Duke of York is said to be ‘in the dark’ over whether he’ll be able to wear his plush ceremonial robes to King Charles’ coronation in May. He shouldn't show his face if he had any respect A clown in fancy dress Should be glad their letting him out at all. And before you say he didn't admit responsibility, the fact, as a grown man, he got himself involved in this awful mess, shows an immaturity and severe lack of judgement.
