Prince Andrew's armed protection police are being replaced by private security officers who are only allowed to use Tasers. 

King Charles may now personally pay the £3million a year bill for his brother's new team of bodyguards, it's been reported. 

It comes a year after The Duke of York, 62, was stripped of his official roles and HRH title after settling a sexual abuse case with accuser Virginia Giuffre. 

He made no admission of liability and has consistently and vehemently denied the allegations.

Shocking really, he is probably the most at risk of all the Royals due to his past behaviour. He probably isn't eligible for a State Pension either, as he has ever had a job. Now he is dependent on the King.

Then why did he pay up. Any innocent man would go to court. And why, if he was innocent, would the queen strip her favourite son of all his titles. She wanted to dissociate the monarchy from his disgusting behaviour. A dirty old man preying on vulnerable teenagers.

He is a privileged predator and delinquent and deserves his just deserts.

He has already defended himself but he was pre-judged by the court of public opinion:

If that is so and he was hard done by, than all the more reason to go into real court and vindicate yourself before a jury of your peers. It would also be all the more reason for his mother the queen to have stood by him through a court trial. Instead, she stripped - or allowed him to be stripped - of his titles and role as a royal prince, and he was her favourite.

Don't worry about him. The U.K. has an excellent reputation fro looking after ex sex offenders. It certainly cares more for them than it does its ex-servicemen.
