Andrew presumably paid for prostitutes using money with his mom’s face. #UKRoyalty
This Christmas in the UK you need to remember.
The #UK #UKRoyalty #UKRoyalFamily own Regents Street UK ( its in the name ) the brands on that street pay rent to our Royal family.
We still pay them money through tax.
When they don't need it.
And thousands of their subjects are homeless and vulnerable.
And now and again they have the gaul to talk about how much they do for the homeless....
Don't give to charity.
You already do.
Just not the one that matters.
