Just finished Andrew Lownie ‘s Entitled a brilliant, visceral dissection of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson fittingly, on the very day of an unprecedented royal announcement. Andrew stripped of all
his titles and status.
The timing couldn’t be juicier. Lownie’s forensic tour through ego, privilege, and decades of embarrassment for the royal brand reads like the missing minutes from an endless PR crisis meeting. I’d forgotten half the tabloid mayhem.
Credit where it’s due: the Palace has finally done the brutal but necessary thing — cut loose an unsustainable problem. The hardest act of power is the clean break. But if you don’t cauterise the wound, the infection kills.
And honestly, if social media had existed in the ’80s and ’90s, the monarchy might have been trending its way to extinction.
