The duke said he had asked the Queen if he could step back from public duties, and she had given her permission.
Yeah, more likely she told him without being asked.
So then, if a member of the Public had been accused of the same offence, might they be allowed to step back instead of serving a prison sentence ?????.
Which of these titles should now be taken from him?
Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh, Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, Personal Aide-de-Camp to The Queen.
I love the 'he has asked the Queen if he may step back from public duties' I got the impression that no one wanted him to be associated with them...and I really can't blame them. Why can't he just be honest and say that no one wants him any more?
