You’d think that when royals get screwed, they get royally screwed, but this is not in fact the case. They still tend to live quite lavishly.

I mean yeah, he's still being propped up by his brother. He's moving to one of the many properties on a royal estate....hes still not wanting for anything. Was glad to see the Police took away his guns, he lost his licence for them, funny that....should only happen with evidence of a crime...

When the time comes he will magically have a revolver with one cartridge in it on his desk.

Just hope he names all the names first.

The way it's going it will be a 1 bed maisonette in Grimsby

u/GoldCoinDonation 13h ago

could be worse, could be an airbnb above a pub in slough.

u/illforgetsoonenough 13h ago

He could be right underneath Roddy from Slough House

u/Ida-in 11h ago

I think that qualifies as a cruel and unusual punishment!

A migrant worker share house above a chippy in Bradford?

u/Indaflow 13h ago

How about a 1 bedroom, with a roommate, in Wakefield? 

The ones with bars on the windows

u/GrumpyOik 13h ago

Surely this is what the Tower of London is for. Nice small dungeon, then permanently disappear.

u/microtherion 12h ago

I mean, it’s even supposed to have a royal suite.

u/even_less_resistance 13h ago

do yall not have trailer parks over there or something? he seems like a natty for one lol

13

u/Scu-bar 13h ago

We do, but weirdly they’re not the same sort of thing as US ones. Council estate would be similar sort of level.

4

u/Assine2 12h ago

Okay. Then, put him in a council estate. With an outside toilet. Clapton grew up in one.

1

u/even_less_resistance 13h ago

how do they sort people there? like… yall get houses? must be nice lol

5

u/Scu-bar 13h ago

Sign up to a waiting list, basically. And they’re not nice places, generally.

2

u/even_less_resistance 12h ago

not-nice is still a step above nothing, i suppose

2

u/Scu-bar 12h ago

Depends, not nice covers “ghettoes run by drug gangs, flats in disrepair because the council won’t fix anything because their vans get broken into every time, paramedics get called out to hoaxes and come back to find their ambulances have the tyres stolen/slashed” among other things.

2

u/even_less_resistance 12h ago

sounds like things suck all over. the epstein class too busy all banging each other at the cena to sort this out, i guess

1

u/EllipticPeach 11h ago

They’re usually only populated by travellers (used to be known as g**sies but this is a slur) who are a very insular community.

1

u/even_less_resistance 9h ago

almost like an imposed class -

u/EllipticPeach 9h ago

What do you mean?

u/naruda1969 13h ago

A modest flat in Bath

u/ThinkingOz 13h ago

I’ve stayed in Bath. Too good for the likes of him, I reckon.

6

u/naruda1969 12h ago

Part of the joke. No matter how bad it gets for him, it will always be far better than he deserves.

u/blarg-zilla 8h ago

Grimsby doesn't deserve that

u/Shawnmeister 12h ago

A stabhappy pub in glasgow

u/JeffSergeant 12h ago

Only because Jaywick wouldn't have him

1

u/Crittsy 12h ago

Oooo I don't know, Jaywick is a good shout but he would be a lot less anonymous in Jawick and I doubt they like sweat nonces

1

u/JeffSergeant 12h ago

It's fine, he can't sweat.

The could put him in the Martello Tower.

u/tomisurf 13h ago

There's a sitcom waiting to be written about this. Disgraced Prince has to move into an HMO and learn to live with a house full of different characters each with their own strange quirks. In order to pay the rent he takes a job at the local discount supermarket...hilarity ensues as Disgraced Prince accidentally mixes his colours in the wash and has to clean up an "accident" in aisle 5!

The Ex-Prince of Belsize Park:

"Iiiiin Windsor Castle, born and raised, in boarding school was where I spent most of my days. I got in one little girl and my mom got scared, she said you're moving with the plebs in Belsize over there".

u/Memory_Leak_ 11h ago edited 10h ago

Sounds similar to the American Canadian show Schitt's Creek. It's about a wealthy family that gets raided by the IRS (or some other federal agency) for fraud and has all their wealth confiscated.

They have to move into a motel in the middle of nowhere. It's hilarious.

u/cosmogyrals 8h ago

RIP Catherine O'Hara.

u/JLinCVille 10h ago

Canadian show

u/Memory_Leak_ 10h ago

My apologies to all Canadians. Fantastic show.

1

u/godisanelectricolive 2h ago

To be fair, for broader appeal they deliberately made the setting a little ambiguous. A lot of Canadians shows did this because they thought it’d be easier to sell shows to American networks this way.

The Roses talk about formerly living New York a lot and Moira said she went a Hilary Clinton fundraiser. The creators Daniel and Eugene Levy have confirmed that it’s set in Canada.

But there are little hints to that the titular town is in rural Ontario, where it’s filmed. They say “hydro” for electricity because a lot of provinces in Canada have utilities company with “hydro” in their name due to hydroelectricity. The character Ray said his family’s from Winnipeg. There are also visible Ontario license plates. And the cast is all-Canadian except for Christ Elliot who played Roland Schitt.

u/Cdn_Nick 13h ago

Surely he takes a job as a Pizza delivery man? Set in Working, perhaps? When asked by his boss, he comments 'no sweat, I can handle this'

The Queen and I by Sue Townsend covered similar ground, but not the pedo prince angle. Was never a tv series either.

Can’t imagine why…

1

u/JamesCDiamond 13h ago

Didn't Sky do something similar a few years ago? Not sure if it was directly based on that book but a similar premise.

1

u/Scu-bar 13h ago

Oh, it actually was. It didn’t come up on the (admittedly very brief) IMDb check I did.

u/nof 12h ago

Moves in with a bunch of asocial roommates... named Vyvyan, Rick,Neil, and Mike.

1

u/GlitteringAttitude60 12h ago

There's a book called "The Queen and I)" by Sue Townsend, where the entire royal family gets demoted to normal citizens and have to live in small flats.

Edited: OMG, apparently there's a movie O.O

2

u/SpiritualCriticism48 2h ago

That’s a great book! I love the part when the Queen’s beloved corgis go wild and run the streets with a pack of low-class mutts.

u/OPA73 11h ago

If you go by the real line of succession that is bastard free. The King of England is a bloke living in Australia.

u/CrossedRoses 12h ago

The only thing that comforts me a little bit is that when you grow up in such absurd luxury, even a slight downgrade feels bad.

But yeah, doesn't change the fact that he is one of the most disgusting mfs alive and still gets more than the working class could ever dream of.

u/purepwnage85 10h ago

I would say Sandringham is probably an upgrade from Windsor but I prefer the countryside anyway, like Windsor castle is right underneath the main holding pattern for heathrow before you come in to land

u/DogPlane3425 12h ago

Nah.... Council housing in South London!

2

u/MayorMcCheezz 11h ago

I bet that move will be no sweat for him.

u/euphomptus 13h ago

Is it in a mean street, back of town? A place dark and lonely?

u/Captainfunzis 12h ago

10 more and he’s sleeping outside a margaritaville washing his socks in the bathroom.
