00:06So, Prince Andrew.

00:11The king has initiated a process, so we're going to discuss this.

00:17Prince Andrew will no longer be Prince Andrew.

00:21He will be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

00:31He will surrender the lease to his home, and he will find alternative private accommodation.

01:36I think this is a really brave, important and right step by the king,

01:42and I fully support it.

01:46I feel concerned about the surtout team that we've ever been lucky with e Adjustment Car Bible,

01:47and in part of this question, we don't want your shell.
