Wikileaks: Rude behaviour of Prince Andrew abroad....

[sandyRoe]

He's always seemed such a gentleman, with the golf and all. Can you believe he'd be rude to foreigners?

[bibblebub]

these leaks are being released over several days, so today's lot are just a taster of what might be to come

[Zeuhl]

According to a friend who is a retired senior naval officer, young male naval cadets were terrified of being left alone with Andrew 'as a refusal often offends'.

didn't Sarah Ferguson have an Aids test before marrying, or am I misremembering? Some people always thought it was odd that the fingers were pointed at Edward rather than Andrew. But yes, I can imagine Andrew taking after his father, so there's probably a being-rude-to-foreigners gene. (Indeed, some people on AB seem to have it; perhaps they are of royal blood.).

And it seems thay had to ensure a special escort was on duty whenever Uncle Dickie, Lord Mountbatten was anywhere near young people.

That sort of thing might happen below decks, but not in the wardroom, surely?

ah, it seems his rudeness was merely in denouncing Guardian investigative reporters.

Well, I'm sure we can all agree with him there.
