The Prince Andrew Crisis
David Yelland and Simon Lewis look at how Buckingham Palace is trying to draw a line under the Prince Andrew crisis.
No more Duke of York, no more Order of the Garter. But he is still Prince Andrew. And he is still the King's brother.
This week, David Yelland and Simon Lewis look at how Buckingham Palace is trying to distance the Royal Family from the constant slew of damaging headlines. But many questions remain about the way it's being handled.
Why was Prince Andrew allowed to sound like he was giving up his titles voluntarily, in a statement that may be argued to show little contrition, focussing instead on his innocence? If it was a decision based on short-term PR pain, has it backfired spectacularly?
Buckingham Palace has asked the public to look at the King's Royal work rather than the scandals involving his brother. But if you're having to ask, have you already lost the argument?
