Sleaze wants some respect
Well of course he does. He always did. He didn’t want to be bounced out in the first place. We all want nice things, but that doesn’t mean we always get to have them.
The Duke of York has asked the Queen to be reinstated as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, The Telegraph understands, as he pushes for a return to royal duties.
But he was uninstated for a reason, so it seems pretty toddleresque to whine at Paddington Bear’s friend to let him come back. Has he taken to lying on the floor drumming his heels and screaming?
A source said: “The colonelcy of the Grenadier Guards was his most coveted title and he wants it back. Having remained a Counsellor of State, he also believes he should be included at royal and state events.”
Of course he wants it back. That goes without saying. It was taken away for a reason.
“Most importantly for him is his status as an HRH and ‘Prince of the Blood’ and he feels that should be reinstated and his position recognised and respected.”
Despite that whole underage sex thing. Ain’t nobody gonna respect him now.
He’s in a hurry to get it done because it’s only Brenda who might say yes. Choss has said a firm no.
Brenda…?
Private Eye’s nickname for Elizabeth Windsor.
It always amazes me how some one-percenters, once humiliated, seem to need to get back into the public eye. He doesn’t need to be Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, whatever that is. He can well afford to live out his life in a quiet, low-key, extremely comfortable retirement.
Now Trump — at least if he gets to be president again that’s four years he won’t be in prison. I can understand the obsession in his case.
What exactly is he, outside of a collection of purely symbolic, ceremonial functions? Stripped of those, what’s left but a residue of illegal appetites? Maybe performance in the public eye is all he has, or all he is.
And apparently an exceptionally disagreeable man. Rude, demanding, self-important, all because He’s A Royal. He expects people to stand up when he enters a room – made a big fuss once when people didn’t. Complete jackass.
Sounds like the perfect prefessorial candidate for the Yale philosophy department.
Ha!
I’d say she should make him.sweat it out, but it turns out he has a condition.
