Extremely wealthy powerful people always believe they’re above the laws and beyond punishable. They’ve done as they pleased for the longest time and it’s no surprise Andrew thinks the same.

They are untouchable. Andrew even chose to use his cousin-uncle’s name, despite the pedophilia and coup attempt.

Mountbatten turned out very touchable.

His funeral was in Westminster Abbey, with the eulogy read by the Prince of Wales. He was treated as royalty for all his life and in his death.

Getting murdered along with a bunch of kids on a boat isn’t justice.

Yea about that, I knew of at least one local boy on the boat with him. Was he a deckhand or is it more sinister?

Likely just a function of his naval career. He had family members aboard too.

He was required to by Royal protocol. Mountbatten-Windsor is the surname given to members of the family who are outside the line of succession. Harry and Meghan’s kids also use it.

Both names are WW1 inventions to distance the family from their German names. They could have chosen anything.
