Prince Andrew Quotations

The Royal Family have always had an interest in a number of different areas of society. We are a part of society.

Her friends say she is very funny. At a family dinner, she stood to go, and the footman very properly pulled her chair away. At that moment I asked her a question and she sat down again, except there was no chair. Everyone, including the Queen, laughed and laughed.

I could have worse tags than 'Airmiles Andy' - although I don't know what they are.

We've had American TV shows in Britain for years and that hasn't affected our culture at all.

I've always been told I was extremely well-behaved as a kid.

It's slightly complicated for people to grasp the idea of a head of state in human form.

Sarah will talk to me about someone and I don't know who she's talking about, but if she talks to my mother, the two of them will know exactly - and across several generations, too.

I look at Canada like a second home.

People say to me, 'Would you like to swap your life with me for 24 hours? Your life must be very strange.'

She is incredibly fit, but we remind staff that she's not just the monarch, but our mother.

People say to me, Would you like to swap your life with me for 24 hours? Your life must be very strange. But of course I have not experienced any other life. It's not strange to me.

The Queen's intelligence network is a hell of a lot better than anyone's in this palace. Bar none. She knows everything. I don't know how she does it. And she sees everything.

You, I, we all encounter behaviors that we might say, I wouldn't do that. But she has a huge amount of contact with how people live. She sees more hospices and sink estates than most people.

She isn't legacy focused, she's future focused. Today is reality. Yesterday is history. Her desire is not to change the future but to be there today.

I'll tell you where the injustice is. It's with the person earning £12,000 to £15,000-a-year who is being asked to be restrained by their business or employer. Yet the taxpayer has bailed out the banks, so why are they not showing restraint?

Today is reality. Yesterday is history.
