Richard Quest on Prince Andrew Being Stripped of Title: It’s Because the ‘Waters of Danger Are Lapping the Monarchy’

RUSH EXCERPT:

QUEST: “There are two aspects to it. First of all, the increasing pressure that was put to bear. Don‘t forget, the king has done this own very, very late in the day. But that‘s because the waters of danger are lapping around the monarchy, and he had to be seen to do something, not just let Andrew lose his voluntarily, lose his titles. He had to be seen. And that‘s why I‘ve got the statement here. His majesty initiated a formal process. Well, you‘ve got to go back to 1919. So around about there, before you see that happening again. And the other reason is the stench, the stench of entitlement that he was living in this house. And you just don‘t look, I live both in the U.K. and the U.S. at the moment in the U.S., there is nothing like that sort of groundswell of outrage that there has been here in the U.K. About Andrew mountbatten windsor, as he now is, and that does not yet exist in the U.S. When it does, I suspect there will be movement.”
