Related: About this forumNew challenger emerges for title of 'Most Memorable Royal Car Crash'
In the almost hour-long interview, the Duke of York gave the distinct impression that having had ten-thousand men would be a long way from the worst skeleton in his closet.
Viewer Simon Williams told us, When you think royal car crash, theres really only one thing you can think about, but I think that might be about to change.
Yes, Prince Philip gave it a go last year by rolling his Range Rover into a ditch, but that was nothing compared to Prince Andrew taking to national television to explain why he doesnt sweat and to promote the memorable experience one can enjoy at Pizza Express in Woking.
All that stuff about him not sweating was actually one of the more believable aspects of his interview. Anyone who knows anything about lizards knows they dont have sweat glands.
But after nearly an hour I have to say Ive never seen anything like it, and I can imagine over the coming days the picture of him scrambling to find plausible answers to Maitliss questions will become the go-to memory whenever anyone thinks of royal car crash.
I doubt Elton John is penning a new ditty though.

(106,342 posts)1. Rather unfortunate analogy... "Most Memorable Royal 'car crash'?"
Really?

I know they want to "nail" Andrew, but geez, do these writers even THINK?

makes clear that this "joke" was intentional

(106,342 posts)3. That is beyond despicable, IMO. I assume the writer hates all the Royals, which is their right, but
how damned ugly.
