[royalty] Stay Classy: Mummy’s Favourite … More on the venality of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and family. ‘With the Yorks?, a whole new set of rules appear in the royal playbook. Chief among them is that one should seek, when explaining a personal fault, to pay oneself such a large compliment that it effectively kills the perception of the fault as being a fault at all. This was initially crucial for the duchess as part of her rehabilitation journey, or what she calls in one of her many books her attempt ‘to rebuild the brand Sarah’. The duchess blamed her ‘over-generous nature’ for her money troubles (in 2010 she had told the ‘fake sheikh’ she could ‘open any door’ to royalty for 500k with a downpayment of 40k). Her ‘fault’ (if it was one) was to give too much to the people in her life and land herself in hot water (silly old me). Andrew tried to pull off the same trick during his Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis in 2019, seeking to explain the reason he’d felt the need to fly to New York and stay with Epstein for three days just to tell him they could no longer be friends. ‘I admit fully that my judgment was probably coloured by my tendency to be too honourable,’ he said, to the disbelief of the entire world.’
