UK - (Former prince) Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor accused of underage sexual relationship, 1999-2002 *settled* #2

In my opinion, the Kate and William's studies do not match the studies of Princess Beatrix's children. We are talking about serious studies in History, Engineering, and advanced degrees. Kate studied Art History I believe, and William studied Geography. On the other hand, the king of the Netherlands even wrote a dissertation on foreign policy. With all due respect, I would call William and Kate's studies respectable, but not spectacular. And Beatrix's children got actual jobs, and so did their spouses. OK, Wilhelm Alexander did not because he was groomed for succession, but he did some very serious studies too.

I would say that most of the other heirs to a throne in Europe, as well as the younger monarchs, have a more qualified education aimed at their future/present role. They have studied at university level both in their own country, as well as in at least one, if not two, other countries, and have a degree in Political Science.

Did AMW study Economics (with International Business degree)
as he was given the position of British Trade Representative (called trade envoy)?

Well, all he would need to know for that post was how to shake hands, how to correctly adress people, and to introduce them to the members of the trade groups who did all the work. No need for any degree (or ability to think).

He has got an A-level in Economics, apparently. He didn't go to university. He went straight from school into the navy.

This is all very well but why aren’t they arresting him for sex trafficking (flying in women for his ‘needs’)??

I'm guessing statute of limitations.

I'm guessing statute of limitations.

There's no time limit here for serious crimes - which sex trafficking would fall under.

Been a long time since I lived in the UK.

I guess this is what they have evidence for at this time. Hopefully they're looking for more evidence of serious crimes.
