The Spin

Government-critical narrative

Stripping Prince Andrew of his titles without a criminal conviction sets a dangerous precedent that resembles historical tyranny. The evidence against him has never been tested in court, yet Parliament breaks convention to destroy someone based on public rage rather than proven guilt. This modern version of attainder dispenses with due process and debases British institutions in the process.

Pro-government narrative

Andrew's decades of arrogance, corruption and association with Jeffrey Epstein finally caught up with him. From spraying reporters with paint guns to accepting gifts from dictators and alleged spies, his entitlement knew no bounds. His friendship with a convicted sex offender not only speaks volumes about his character, but it also irreparably tarnishes the monarchy's integrity and the military's honor.
