This is not a good look and is untenable.
According to the royal website, one of the focuses of Queen Camilla’s charity work is “supporting survivors of rape, sexual assault and domestic violence”.

Rattled royals relieved.
Transparency and accountability can be abandoned.
More royal walkabouts the solution to Andrew crisis.

This transparency lark is going to keep the royals very busy.

One to look at, now transparency and the royals appears to be in vogue:

Rupert Murdoch and the next constitutional head of state.
A secret deal.
A settlement allegedly involving a very large sum of money.
Not a good look.

A test for the BBC.
Last year’s live coverage of the Commonwealth service made no reference to the visible republican protest outside - drummers were at the entrance to drown out the shouting.
The protesters say they’ll be there again next month.
Will the BBC find its spine?

One day soon, the royals will have to answer these questions. And many more.
It will be a seismic moment for them - being held to account is an alien concept.

At the time, no one questioned the late Queen’s judgement.
Now….
29 Mar 2022
This was the Queen endorsing Andrew after he paid millions to a woman he says he has no recollection of ever meeting. Either Charles and William didn’t intervene – or they did and failed to stop the prince performing such a high profile role at his father’s memorial service.

The demands for accountability are only going to grow.
As I said on @BBCNewsnight , Charles and William must act fast, and not just hide behind bland statements.
If they don’t, they face an existential crisis they are stunningly ill equipped to deal with.

"How much will they be panicking in Buckingham Palace?"
"They will be panicking, because they are not in control..."

The way the royals are reported allows a statement of the obvious to be heralded as unprecedented, headline news.

Bizarre to see King praised for saying he’ll assist the police over Andrew. Of course he must. Or was that in doubt?

Another missed opportunity.
It is a statement of the blindingly obvious that the palace would support any police investigation.
King Charles needs to make clear that he believes Andrew should testify before US lawmakers.

Peter Hunt, ex-BBC Royal Correspondent, points out on @BBCPM Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is still “eighth in line to throne” and King needs “to enter real world” and call for him to give evidence to the Congressional Inquiry.
