forever disgraced. He was already removed, BY THE QUEEN, from his public role as UK trade envoy/shill.

From 2011:

Prince Andrew has accepted a downgrading of his role as a trade envoy four months after coming under severe criticism for his association with a convicted US billionaire sex offender.

His days jetsetting around the world as a representative for British businesses – which earned him the tag "Airmiles Andy" – also look to be over as Buckingham Palace confirmed only that he would "continue to support business in the UK" and would not have a specialised role.

After a day in which the palace declined to confirm media reports that the prince, fourth in line to the throne, would be standing down, it issued a statement saying that he would "undertake trade engagements if requested". It is thought that he may now focus on boosting business in Britain and acting as a figurehead in the government's plans to increase the number of industrial apprenticeships and training for young people.

People who follow the UK RF (such as myself) have known for a while that Andrew has been marginalized from, e.g., The Firm's official photo ops.

I hope that was a joke. Atman Jan 2015 #6

I meant the tiny elliptic sheen above the mirror-image of the flash. DetlefK Jan 2015 #8

Nope. Flash reflecting off of the plastic window shade. Atman Jan 2015 #11

I agree with the poster above. There is the flash and also an ellipse of light above it CJCRANE Jan 2015 #15
