Not that I delight in other people's downfall, but the
four from Grace for Prince Andrew is breathtakingly spectacular. Over
the weekend, I was just reading an article. So when
he retired in two thousand and.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
One, retired from what from.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Flying helicopters and being a pilot, and he was a
pretty impressive individual, bearing mine in two thousand and he
was forty one years of age.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
He retired then he could do no wrong.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Loved the Falklands War. He was a giant war hero.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
And he could have sat back and just toured the
facilities like the other Royals, with his hand behind his back,
opening stuff, being a nice person.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
But he wanted more.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
He wanted more, so they made him this envoy where
he'd go over season and broke the deals for the UK.
But they weren't really brokering deals for the UK. It
was just he and his grasping wife that wanted more
money because their lifestyle. Bearing in mind, they're royal, so
they've got a pretty good lifestyle. They're not going to
be flying around in slave class on the plane. They're
going to be up the front of the plane. But

two thousand and six.

Speaker 3 (01:25):

Speaker 2 (01:27):
No, No, he's about to be done, bearing in mind
he had it off with a fourteen year old girl
in two thousand and five.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
But just let that say that was Epstein, by the way.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Once he publicly got done and served like weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Attention, did this the lighter sentences, the lighter sentence, And
there's some speculation on how that happened. But then when
he came out, how did these friendships continue when they
knew he was a convicted sex official.

up with him in person and play a little bit more.
