As a student nurse, one Christmas morning , I sat with an elderly lady as she passed away. ( we didn’t let anyone die alone if we could possibly help it) 2 days later her niece came to collect her belongings…and questioned us about an alleged silver band on her walking stick…..

Well done @rachaelmaskell.bsky.social for voicing what everyone I know is thinking.
Most of us are not only barely managing in the C of L crisis (if we’re lucky) but funding the Royals!!
Are we now also paying the costs of the appalling, entitled Prince too?

Allegedly, his mummy, the Queen paid it. I think people would like to know the source from which it was paid….as in , was it the grant given to the Crown by taxpayers…..us.

Banned old Duke of York, a humorous headline for a vile and disgusting piece of filth. If there was any justice he’d be in prison or the Tower of London. But as we have learned, if you are white/orange and have obscene wealth and power you will always get away with it.

Very cool that his defense is "I had no business relationship with Mr. Epstein at any point" just to make it clear that he only hung out with him because he liked to
