      Why would Andrew respond to that?

      I doubt he would. Of course he thought that doing that Newsnight interview in 2018 was a good idea and after the interview told people he thought it went really well, so one never knows.

        Latest I saw was that the wing was first put up to hide the bunker below and that the reason plans won't be seen by regular channels is that a bigger royal bunker is the real reason for the ballroom...

            I think Andrew has already refused to be interviewed by the FBI but don't remember the details.

            Fergie's "title" is a courtesy title in the style of a divorced peeress. Diana's title after the divorce was too.

            Both outcomes were a result of a Letters Patent signed by the Queen.

            It's not a royal title. I don't know how a courtesy title would be stripped.

            It's just my opinion but I think Parliament should definitely strip the royal titles from Andrew, Harry and Markle.

            Or more precisely I think Parliament should strip the royal titles from Harry, and especially from Andrew, and from Markle.

            I haven't been a Markle fan for a long time but her fake tear (and I can prove it) at the Queen's funeral is was when I got off the train.

            Andrew should be in prison for the rest of his life.

                President Donald Trump will likely name his new $300 million White House ballroom after himself, according to senior administration officials.

                Already, officials are referring to it as "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom." That name will likely stick, ABC News was told.

                  Price going up; inflation running rampant.

                  On Wednesday, Trump discussed his plans for the ballroom, saying it will cost “about $300 million.” The administration previously put the cost of the ballroom project at $200 million.

                  Who is supposedly on the list of people funding the project. The amount donated is conspicuously absent.

                    If his hideous gold decor in the oval office is anything to go by, guest are gonna need sunglasses in the ballroom.

                      With all that tariff money flooding in, Trump(CF) will be paying the contractors in cash (tax free). Ahh the beautiful sound of a wrecking ball, money money money.
