1. Okay - that's really weird. Have to admit that when I saw "teddy collection" associated

with Prince Andrew, I assumed it meant the lingerie item.

[Mme. Defarge]

3. You beat me to it!

[Norbert]

20. I expected that to be the case.

Seeing visions of J Edgar Hoover.

[Mme. Defarge]

2. At least "Teddy" refers to

bears.

On the other hand …

[Klaralven]

5. Yes, what a disappointment...

[milestogo]

4. Maybe they're sex toys or they arouse him in some way.

[whathehell]

6. According to his former maid, a couple are dressed as

sailors, and one is called " daddy".

[milestogo]

7. He's a child.

And a freak.

[UTUSN]

9. "whathehell" indeed - but he *was* in the Navy and all of those royal dudes craved Daddy.

All raised in an psychological void.

[whathehell]

10. Uh huh..

It still seems like strange behavior from a middle aged man to me, but, whatever.

[UTUSN]

12. To be clear, I'm not defending him. I detest the arrogant S.O.B. and other "royals."

Having 75 stuffed things on his bed wherever he goes and throwing raging tantrums at "servants" is definitely strange behavior for a middle aged whomever.

That said, true what another poster said that collectors are out there anywhere. Plus, visits to military base exchanges will show stuffed animals dressed in military caps or uniforms. And the perverted "royal" system imposes stunted human relationships, which even animals are better at.

I totally agree with you ABOUT HIM.

[whathehell]

17. I understand what you're saying, and I appreciate your clarifying

I also understand about collectors. It's just that teddy bears (72 of them, no less) are usually associated with children rather than middle aged men.

There's been a couple of comments here to the effect pf Prince Philip being a cold father..I don't know your nationally, but is that your understanding?

[UTUSN]

18. What little i know/care about the "royals" is on the Kardasian level.

[whathehell]

19. Uh huh..Ok.. Whatever

Have a good one.

[BlackSkimmer]

23. Maybe you should do some research on Prince Phillip.

It might be illuminating for you.

Start with his childhood.

Blaming a dead man for his son’s transgressions? Princess Anne is just fine and was the closest to him.

[whathehell]

24. Maybe you should tell that to a different poster..

as I'm not "blaming*"anyone for anything.

[BlackSkimmer]

26. You called him "a cold father."

Unless you’re really close to that family, which I’m quite sure you’re not, you’re making accusations with no basis.

[whathehell]

31. Um, no, dear, I didn't.

and if you'd read the post correctly, you'd see I simply asked for an opinion, based on the statements of others here on the thread. Have a nice one.

[BlackSkimmer]

32. Yes dear, lol. Par for the course.

Oh my.

[whathehell]

34. No, dear, lol.

but your response is..

[BlackSkimmer]

35. Snerk.

[whathehell]

38. Project much,.lol?

There help for that, dear..Best of luck.

8. People collect stuff. So what?

There are people all over the world that collect objects. Some are dolls, some are stuffed toys, some are miniatures, stamps, christmas decorations, albums, vintage clothes, guns, nazi memorabilia, action figures, comic books, art, etc.

So what if he has an affinity for them? Personally I'm not a collector but I'm not going to pass judgement on someone for collecting harmless toys.

As for his scandals that's a different story. He's a fucking creep for that.

[Klaralven]

11. On Antiques Roadshow, some of the doll and teddy bear experts seem ...

[BlackSkimmer]

27. Seem what?

[obamanut2012]

39. They seem what?

[Earth-shine]

13. The problem is that taxpayer money is spent on his teddy fetish, er, umm, collection.

Briggs explained that every day she would organize the collection so all of the largest bears were in the back and the rest were placed in descending order according to size. At night, Briggs or another maid would then have to use a diagram to place the bears in their designated spots throughout the bedroom.

Who pays for these maids?

[chowder66]

14. That I fully understand but the collecting of these items doesn't seem like a big

deal on the face of it.

[Earth-shine]

15. I collect Star Trek stuff, so I don't judge others for their proclivities ...

except insofar that they impact others.

But, given the chance, I'd use his teddy bears as target practice with my Klingon Disruptor.

[chowder66]

16. Lol!

[canetoad]

40. Is it your taxes? nt

[obamanut2012]

46. Zero public money gets paid to Prince Andrew

He gets a small yearly pension from the Royal Navy, which the fuckhead earned and which he has a right to, but zero money from anyone else except for a yearly allowance from his mother's private estate. It will be up to her whether or not she continues to give him any money. I am 100% sure his brother will not be giving him one pound after he becomes King.

So, zero taxpayer money.

[Earth-shine]

48. Who pays for the maids and other staff at the palace?

[obamanut2012]

51. I answered you, didn't I?

Reread my post. He pays for it with the money from his mother's private money and his small Naval pension. He does not live in a palace, he lives in a home that was a marital present from his parents when he married Sarah Ferguson.

[Earth-shine]

52. No, you didn't. Now, you did.

[MineralMan]

21. Oh, I thought this was about his lingerie collection.

Never mind...

[BlackSkimmer]

22. Who cares?

Maybe post in the lounge?

[whathehell]

25. Lots of people..

but if you don't, there's s always other threads to read.

[BlackSkimmer]

28. People care about teddy bear collections?

Really?

[whathehell]

29. Those belonging to a middle aged man who throws fits,

when they're not in order? Definitely.

[BlackSkimmer]

30. Keep reading the Daily Mail and media of that ilk.

You’ll find plenty to slake that appetite lol.

[whathehell]

33. Lol..He's a Public figure, dear, one currently

under investigation for sex trafficking, but I'm sure you're right.

[BlackSkimmer]

36. Are you bored?

You actually said you were commenting on other posters saying Phillip was cold, but yours is the only comment saying so.

You tried to rope another poster into your narrative, but he quite rightly, shrugged you off.

Do you know Prince Andrew? Do you know anyone involved? Have you decided guilty until proven innocent? What is your issue?

I think Andrew is a giant prat, a stupid pillock…but I couldn’t give a crap about what he collects.

My aunt collects teapots. Who gives a bloody toss? God, perhaps you might take up collecting something. Hobbies are fun.

[whathehell]

37. No, but you must be!

I left this thread HOURS ago, dear, and so did everyone else. Lol..You, it seems, are the one needing a hobby!

P.S. Don't like someone's posts?..Ignore is your friend..Buh bye.

[Emile]

42. Yawn. . I could care less about any of these royalty snobs.

[whathehell]

43. Yawn...Then you can just move on, can't you?

[BlackSkimmer]

44. You really have to have the last word with everyone, don't you?

[Emile]

45. Okay

[BlackSkimmer]

47. Lol!

[whathehell]

[Emile]

50. 😀

[whathehell]

53. !!!!

[BlackSkimmer]

54. This is gold.

So far I’m winning the bet.

[Emile]

55. BlackSkimmer how have you been lately? Are you feeling better?

[BlackSkimmer]

56. Oh yes, doing well.

Thanks for asking!

The puppers all say hi!
