Notable Quotes 3
For too long Prince Andrew has lacked a real role... Instead of a profession, 'he has been content to craft for himself the portfolio existence of a freelance royal' and has 'depended too much on his friends to help support a lifestyle' that he could not afford himself.
Prince Andrew dazzles easily v.hen confronted with immense wealth and apparent power. He has fallen for 'friendships' with bad, corrupt and clever men, not only in the U.S. but in Libya. Kazakhstan. Uzbekistan, Tunisia, wherever.
I probably let myself down, I let the family down, I let other people down...probably a classic example of me probably being too much army, and not enough prince'
