Spare yourself Uncle Andrew's fate, Harry

MY CHAMPAGNE GLASS IS ALWAYS HALF FULL

- VIRGINIA BLACKBURN

JUST when you think it can't get any worse, another stone is pushed aside and something emerges that is an episode in the past life of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Greedy, money-grubbing, selfish, immoral, venal - words cannot sum up the depravity of the man who remains eighth in line to the throne.

The more we learn, the more it seems absolutely inconceivable that nothing was done to stop him, with Prince Charles, as was, seeming to be the only person who sounded a note of caution when he said AMW should not become the UK's trade ambassador. How much worse can it get?
