Prince Andrew may be an ambassador for Britain and British industry, but has he also use his position to enhance his. It's reported that he sold his estate to a Russian billionaire for three million more than it was worth? Even millionaires don't throw their money away when not necessary.He has been known to frequent the homes of dubious characters and so called celebrates, with laxed morals. He deliberately accepted a public role that comes with accountability, responsibility and scrutiny. Prince Andrew may be above any government minister but he is not above the law, as Jacques Chirac of France is now finding out. If it found that Prince Andrew has enhanced his wealth through dubious means, whilst doing this public duty, should he not be held accountable and if it is found that he has abused his position and found to have gained financially from it should he not be prosecuted. His actions could possible bringing the Queen into criticism from certain areas within the country, people who may not be loyalists and would see any thing that damages the Queens reputation a good thing and a reason to get rid of the monarchy. One cabinet minister said that Prince Andrew is not a bad man but he's not very bright, he's surrounded by dreadful people who fawn on him and he gets manipulated. This may be true in parts but he's served as a navy officer and knows what life is about at the poorer end of the social scale. But again has the possibility of easy money and his play boy image tarnished him and his reputation even more? As for the prime minister support could this be because he would like some royal rewards in the future for backing him ?
