Parasite Prince, Carol Malone wrote this article back in the year 2000. Nothing has changed.

PRINCE Andrew has announced he's quitting the Royal Navy to carry out more Royal duties.
But the question you might like to ask yourselves is: "More Royal duties than what? Than nothing? Than four? Than the odd ones he manages to squeeze in between rounds of golf?
Because if ever there was a prize for Royal freeloading Princess Margaret would (obviously) take the top slot, with Prince Andrew coming a close second.

Margaret gets paid pounds 219,000 by the Queen every year to do her "public duty " yet she has spent the last 40 years boozing, partying and sleeping with unsuitable men.
The woman who has not only made a career out of doing nothing, but has managed to be thoroughly unpleasant with it as well, has got away with NOT fulfilling her responsibilities with the excuse that her life was blighted at an early age when she was told she couldn't marry Group Captain Peter Townsend. Similarly Andrew, who when he's not organising pounds 20,000 parties for his new best friend, Ghislaine Maxwell, or pratting around at some celebrity golf tournament, hasn't done a hand's turn since Fergie dumped him to have her toes sucked by Johnny Bryan.
In the years after his marriage broke up, the podgy Royal spent a couple of years trying to win Sarah back, another couple trying to get over her and then he suddenly found a reason to live again when someone thrust a six iron in his hand and told him to Tee Off.

To be fair he pops up to do his bit on Remembrance Sunday and he graces the hoi-polloi with a wave and a smile from Sandringham every Christmas.

But by and large Andrew is to Royal duties what George Bush is to globetrotting. "There comes a time when all good things have to come to an end," Andrew said last week of his 22 years in the Navy, which have been about as distinguished as Eddie the Eagle's skiing career.
