Staff fury over 'rude Andrew's' speeding

THAT'S DUCH BETTER

Fergie's bid to be fit at 50 - in a racy black bikini.

THE Duke Of York Prince Andrew faces a royal rollicking from the Queen for acting like a Duke Of Hazzard.

The zippy - and apparently lippy - prince has infuriated staff by SPEEDING through Windsor Great Park in his Aston Martin like a Formula One driver.

The workers are so angry with His Royal Flyness, they are sending Her Maj a PETITION urging her to tick him orf for "racing" around the estate.

Lodge keepers in the 5,000 acre park claim the 49-year-old prince whizzes past them and ignores the 30mph limit.

They also reckon he "acts like a lout" behind the wheel, forcing them to LEAP out of the way as he zooms past.

One gatekeeper said the prince shouts rudely: "You, get out of my way."

Now close sources say that they want the Queen to take action - as Andrew won't listen to anyone else.

A senior source said: "He's behaving like a lout and abusing his position. You wouldn't expect anyone to behave in this fashion, let alone the Queen's son.

He's behaving like a lout. It's not good enough and it's got to stop

"The guys are just doing their job and must be respected for that. They want something done about Andrew so they're drawing up a petition for the Queen to get him to toe the line.

"All they want is for him to slow down."

Prince Andew has a reputation for his love of fast cars. He is often seen at the wheel of his Aston Martin convertible. He also has a £200,000 Bentley Arnage. He ordered his chauffeur to take the 180mph limo - number plate DOY - on its first public spin to Windsor Castle last month. The prince, dubbed Airmiles Andy for his excessive use of jets and choppers, lives at Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, half a mile from the castle. He regularly has to pass through the gates looked after by the lodge keepers.

A friend added: "The duke enjoys his cars but whenever I have been with him he sticks to the speed limit!"

This behaviour describes perfectly what's wrong with modern Britain. Too many spongers; political con artists; upper-class twits, self-elected, showbiz demigods; and a bunch of arrogant young royals who have little class. Rewrite that as no class! They have no god-given right to rule and they are equally to wrong to assume that their 'subjects' will accept the weight of the 'young masters' boot on their back in perpetuity.

there job is to answer to the tax payer who keeps them in the lap of comfort that 99% of the tax payers have no clue as how they live.

Small wonder Sarah got rid of him.

By FrednEthel. Posted July 16 2009 at 7:02 AM.

Well, what else does he have to do with his time?

By Louis. Posted July 16 2009 at 7:00 AM.

They can all retire to their palaces, I for one do not want any of them to work on my behalf. What work does P. Anne do?
They are driven to various places to cut a ribbon or two and leave.
They all have plenty of money for their own upkeep and palaces.

Thinks hes better than everyone else he was the same on the Ships treats ordinary people like dirt

By Steve. Posted July 13 2009 at 11:53 AM.

He is a useless unemployed bludger - and a scrounger - and an idiot. Who does he think he is. Send him off to fight & at least earn a bit of respect , No wonder his kids are like they are - they have learned from him.

By Monica. Posted July 13 2009 at 3:33 AM.

An obnoxious scrounger - the British will put up with anything. This guy and his family should be removed and a republic set up - look how much money would be saved by the tax payer.
UTTER DISGRACE!!!

Poor deluded Samuel Greer. Must be as big a plonker as Andrew

THE ROYAL FAMILY ARE FABULOUS - TO COVENTRY WITH ALL YOU COMMONERS WHO SAY OTHERWISE

By SAMUEL GREER. Posted July 12 2009 at 4:53 PM.

I can't stand this so called prince..he's gross..His problem is he thinks we plebs were born to serve him and his like...Yes Sir no sir 3 bags full Sir...! I'm not a fan of his younger brother Edward either he's an Arrogant Pratt too...On a positive note he could have been born before Charles, A lesser spotted Pratt...and in line to be King... Thank god for William

What exactly does he do for a living - answer - nothing! he's just a sponging parasite, roll on the revolution.

By Mike. Posted July 12 2009 at 2:21 PM.

Linda his name is 'Bing Midden' and not everybody wishes to be sycophants that like to suck up to the Royal family.

A lot of public revenue is directed to supporting the Royal family, and some is humility can be expected in return, and when not, the due critiscism is justified.

By Paul. Posted July 12 2009 at 1:26 PM.

cmon Uk what man wouldnt love to have the cars, planes and toys that he access to, careless driving is inexcusible but let him have some fun. Clarkson and co love to flog their cars om motorways, this is just royal bashing

By andrew as. Posted July 12 2009 at 11:31 AM.

he,s just another state scrounger, living off our back,s to think my hard earned money keeps a prat like that, please, please , tell me what doe,s he do for a living.

By don corrall. Posted July 12 2009 at 11:34 AM.

Perhaps Bing Miller, who, incidentally, hates our Royal Family, should learn how to spell propRerly before making comments and that goes for most of the other comments made too.

It is quite obvious none of them know a thing about what they are talking about and perhaps should use their time wisely by investigating the need of the Royal family in this country rather than making these silly comments.

By Linda. Posted July 12 2009 at 11:33 AM.

its time all the royals got jobs and the state to stop all financial support.
the majoity if people 18 to 50 want a republic,
so let the people decide now.
now is the time we want a republic.

By michael. Posted July 12 2009 at 11:00 AM.

His mother has too many kids and lives on benefits while being the richest woman in the world. She wears a hat mad of diamonds to prove it. What a chav!

By Barbara MIller. Posted July 12 2009 at 9:12 AM.

I hate your engerlish royal family. Sponging wasters

By bing midden (scotland). Posted July 12 2009 at 9:03 AM.

Seems he is not content being in the background knowing he has no admirable qualities that are fit for the limelight anyway, and now he's getting angry about it.

Goes to show that being born onto such a high profile pedestal, showered with obscene undeserving wealth and privelidges, does not a great person make - in his case, only a nasty spoilt arrogent git!

DOY - Duke of Yob.

I agree with john Baird. Posted July 12 2009.
I have always said it and will say it again (the Royals are the best paid people on the dole)

By mug. Posted July 12 2009 at 6:15 AM.

Tell all the royal to get a job and earn their keep. The only two in this dreadful family that do any work are the Queen and The Princess Royal. Charles does a bit, Camillas a lazy c-w, as for Edward and the minor royals they are parasites on society. When the Queen goes get rid of the monarchy. Whilst I am on the subject of these idiots, never insult our soldiers in Afganistan by calling William and Harry soldiers, they are not like their step mother they are lazy good for nothing, a days work would kill them.

What's the problem? We put up with his father. Now we have him. Like father like son!!!!!!

By kevin slater. Posted July 12 2009 at 1:21 AM.

Yet another example of the commoness of this family. The Duchess of York was dirt and now we see the Duke as mud. Perhaps they were compatible. Why doesnt he move to a council estate.

By Daneil Ruthers. Posted July 12 2009 at 12:13 AM.

Its time we had a referendum on the Royals, let the people who want them pay for their upkeep. They should be run like a buisness and be totally self sufficient. The tax payer should not be picking up the bills. Turn the palaces into Hotels for the tourists and let them pay to have meals with the royals just as you can do at Disney, with Micky and Minnie as the entaertainment, that way they could earn their keep just like every one else.

By john Baird. Posted July 12 2009 at 12:16 AM.

He has always been a disgrace. The government and others have spent most of his adult life covering up very serious indiscretions. One good thing is that at least he was not the oldest male heir otherwise the continuation of the monarchy would have made QE2 its last.

By Gerry Binks. Posted July 12 2009 at 12:20 AM.

What in the world happened to him? He used to be so down-to-earth (and handsome too)...oh wait, I guess that was 30 years ago and people DO change...such a shame he changed in the direction he did.

By Traci. Posted July 11 2009 at 11:56 PM.

In the 21st Century, how can we call ourselves a mature democracy when an unelected, disfunctional family can do as they please, paid for by the taxpayer? They must be laughing their heads off that we are unwilling to call their parasitic lifestyle to an end.

By Steve W. Posted July 11 2009 at 11:32 PM.

Its time we got ride of this lot. Its time they paid their own way and got proper jobs instead of living like parasites off of the taxpayer. There are too many people at the top not just the MPs and Civil Servants but the so called Royals especialy Andy and Edward and their families. Its time they looked after their families and paid their own way. It is also crazy that the Boys in Afganistan are short of helicopters, aftercare etc we should look after them instead of wasting money on the Royals.

By John Maguire. Posted July 11 2009 at 11:15 PM.

Send to prison that idiot!!!!
Disgrace tot he country!!
