Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s friends have just come under fire, and for the support they have offered him, because it is a “criminal act”, in the eyes of a former chief prosecutor named Nazir Afzal.
The claim was made during the former prosecutor’s interview with Channel 4 News.
Afzal claims, “People do favors for those in power, and that’s misconduct in public office, and that’s a criminal act.”
For those not in the know, this is a reference to Andrew’s friend Afzal, who said, “There’s so much here that needs looking at, and it makes you believe that no one does.”
He also highlighted how this renewed ‘furvor’, as the pundit puts it, reveals that “public opinion still feels that he hasn’t been properly held to account. The only thing that’s changed is that he’s moved home and he’s no longer a prince. He hasn’t really had to explain himself.”
The conversation didn’t end there, however, and instead saw the expert point out how “finally the palace has got a handle on this scandal. The king felt he had to act. People were now asking bigger questions about the monarchy, its purpose, its finances, and they wanted to kind of shut that story down. So Andrew has basically been thrown under the bus to save the rest.”
For those unaware, since Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie’s father decided to waive his rights to public use of his titles and honors, he has seen them stripped by none other than the King himself.
