At least Brian has been mostly harmless so far. Can't say the same for Andrew, and his son is suspiciously too ambitious.

@hittitezombie Andrew won't/can't become monarch because Chuckles already spawned: William is next in line, followed by George (who'd be George IX if he kept the name at coronation). I expect the monarchy to be abolished before that point, though: if William becomes king at same age as Chuck, it won't happen until the 2050s.
@cstross
True, but Andrew doesn't have to be king to be dangerous. He's already being shielded from the law, first by his mother, now by his brother. A preditor doesn't stop being one just because they are told off firmly.
@hittitezombie Well yes, but that's a law enforcement matter. (Also: the Andrew/Epstein connection is about as close as the Trump/Epstein connection, but how's that prosecution going right now …?)
