This guy never quits (Andrew - UK)

Prince Andrew ‘lobbying Queen to have royal status reinstated’, report says

The Duke of York is pushing for a return to royal duties and has asked the Queen to reinstate his role as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards.

The prince lost the coveted role along with other military titles and royal patronages in January.

The monarch’s disgraced second son stepped down from public life after the furore over his friendship with paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and after he paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case against Virginia Giuffre.

Almost six months on, he not only wants to be reinstated as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, but also wants to be able to attend royal engagements alongside other members of the royal family, according to The Telegraph.

The perv embarrassed the Queen at Philip's funeral (he wasn't supposed to walk the Queen down the aisle at the Cathedral)
He expected to be invited to make a public appearance at the Order of the Garter ceremony at Windsor Castle on Monday, but was told to stay away.

I've read in several British publications that once Charles (or William) ascends the throne that Andrew will be moved well away from the Royal family. My suggestion is the Tower

He should just go away already. I hear his name and can’t think of anything but a description by one of the women he abused: sweaty.

Two DISGRACED Alpha Male con men in the same room. Except for one of them is ACTUAL Royalty with a History that goes back over 500 years.

to return him to Royal status, it will likely never happen.

I just visited today's Tower as a tourist and it's way too much fun. Lots of little kids, too.
