While Andrew initially announced he would no longer use his royal titles, there were further damaging allegations about his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, prompting the King to formally remove his honours.

    When I read the “HRH” title abbreviation it reminded me of my first trip abroad.

    I am a Swede and in the early nineties me and my family decided to take a trip to the UK, we took the family car and dad drove to the ferry, this was a Swedish car, with Swedish plates, and a clear national identifying sticker on the back noting us as Swedes.

    As we drove around in the UK, we noted that a lot of cars seemed to flash their indicators at us, weird…

    It took a few days but then we realized that our registration plate said “HRH 123”, and we felt quite self conscious after that…

    Anyway that was my story, and I’d rather post about that than read more about the shithead this article concerns.
