It never reigns
I see York Races have ceased running The Duke of York Stakes in view of his less than Regal activities.
He's now regarded as The Banned old Duke of York.

Re: It never reigns
Will be interesting to note what is decided on young ‘array ‘array’s case where he is suing the government for taking away his special personal protection guard. Like everything else when you resign from a job the perks go with it. Maybe having led such a sheltered life he still doesn’t understand how the other half lives. He should expect no privileges from leaving his post , he signed off the ship and has no rights as such anymore . He is now sailing on a flag of convenience and the name of the game is you play by their rules. Ta Ta Harry .

Re: It never reigns
The City of York want his title as Duke of York removed.
Sadly for them only the monarch can remove it.
Lot to be said for the good old days when the Tower was in full swing.
Thousands would have turned up to see them get it in the neck.
But there would have been plenty of security then for them.


Happy daze John in Oz.
