Royal Family News – Is Charles the Last Monarch?
Jeremy Clarkson wrote in The Sun that the awful scandals of Prince Andrew and Clown Prince Harry may have damaged the monarchy beyond repair.
In case you are unaware, these include Andrew the Duke of York’s infamous friendship with dead convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Harry’s explosive trash mouth including his memoir, Spare, which debuted this month.

Andrew is no longer a senior working royal because he also settled out of court a sexual abuse lawsuit brought against him by one of Epstein’s sex trafficking victims who was a minor, she claims when they had sex on three occasions.

According to Clarkson and others who think like him, “People are saying that thanks to Prince Andrew and Harry’s book, the whole royal thing is broken, that you could take it down to Jay Blades’ Repair Shop barn but the experts would be forced to conclude that all of the king’s horseman and all of the king’s men couldn’t possibly put it back together again.”

That is rather harsh, as the monarchy has survived hundreds of years and hundreds of scandals. Still, Clarkson adds, “I see their point. The monarchy is built on a foundation of mysticism. It derives its magic powers from forces we don’t understand. “It’s an institution built on fairy dust. And that is lost somewhat when they’re all falling in dog bowls and, like Prince Andrew, giving money to girls they’ve never met.”
