Message:: [QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 24491153, member: 24091"]Actually, it has been 27 years since they split, not 35.  As tragic as the accident was, the divorce a few years earlier has had far more lasting repercussions for the monarchy imo.  That's not to say the monarchy is beyond rehabilitation.  More than even booting Merkle out of the royal fold, the rehabilitation of Prince Andrew's reputation would do the royal family a great deal of good.  Unfortunately, no one, least of all the media, are willing to cut the guy any slack.  The entire Jeffrey Epstein scandal has been blind to the gold-digger "victims" of his scheme, of which there were many.  In the case of Prince Andrew, the 17 year-old woman in question was the age of consent in most every place in the world including the State of New York.  Yet somehow he has been labeled a child molester for his affiliation with her, basically because the media decided it was immoral whether the law said so or not.   In as far as numismatics are concerned, what are the chances that Price Andrew will ever again have his portrait featured on a coin?[/QUOTE]
