Someone with a grain of sense at the Metropolitan Police decided that half a million pounds a year was a bit steep for, basically, escorting two princesses out of nightclubs. So the girls will no longer have protection officers dogging their stilettoed footsteps.
Prince Andrew is reportedly peeved.
It’s unclear whether Andrew’s reaction is paternal concern — or thwarted dynastic ambition to have Their Royal Highnesses continue on in an exalted state, culminating in lives of Royal Duty and Civil List compensation.
Apparently, that is not to be.
My theory? It wuz the hats what done it. Even Scotland Yard can only take so much.
