Randy Andy heads for the slammer

A friend of mine who hails from Great Britain recently told me of a nickname the Brits have placed on a — now former — member of the Royal Family.

They call him Randy Andy, because the former Prince Andrew had a lengthy and time-honored reputation of being a bad boy.

These days, the ex-prince is in custody of British law enforcement authorities because of his relationship with the late Jeffrey Epstein, the noted sex trafficker who wheeled and dealt with underage girls.

The plot is thickening beyond anything King Charles and his kin could have ever wanted.

Blood certainly isn’t thicker than the royal standing with the public. His Majesty the King ordered Randy Andy arrested. I think the royals are done with him. Nice knowing about you, Andrew.

Charles … or Chuck?

I am laughing at media hounds’ stumbling over the new British king’s title. They keep stumbling on the word “Prince” and forgetting that Charles is now “King Charles III.”

I am faced with another dilemma. Given that I am not a royal subject and, therefore, am not constrained by mandatory formality when referencing the royal family, I tend to de-formalize the family members.

Andrew occasionally becomes Andy; Edward becomes Eddie; Ann becomes Annie.

And, yes, Charles becomes Chuck in my conversations about the royals.

But that was when Chuck was merely a prince. Now he’s king, man. The head of state. The ruler over the world’s unquestioned most well-known monarchy.

Dare I call him “King Chuck”? I think I’ll stick to the formality that the man’s title bestows him.
