Isn't Andrew her favorite son, so it definitely would be an indication she's no longer fully in charge.

He's her favourite, but I could see him being cut loose for the good of the crown or whatever, they have to know they're in trouble once Charles is king and need to prop up their popularity.

still finding it really hard to believe that charles will actually get to be king, for more than about 10 mins anyway

e: by this I don't mean anything fantastical, but that he'll mumble something about needing new blood and abdicate or just not accept it in the first place. liz became queen at 25, charles is loving 73

He's just been stripped of some of the extra titles his mum gave him, he is still a prince and the duke of york

what big plans does he have and would he even be able to do them? yeah the uk govt is in shambles but I always got the impression that if the royalty tried to wield actual power it would get shut down fairly quick

The royalty does wield actual power, they're massive landowners and use royal perogative to hide their wealth all the time

Charles big thing is professionalising the royal family, he wants the hangers on to go get jobs instead of relying on state handouts (in part because he knows once Liz dies public sentiment and willingness to pay is gonna tank)

andrew must have been so sickened when william and harry were born, and when they had children. he went from second in line at birth to like tenth or something now, behind william and harry and a bunch of small children.

Yeah she used it in some speech after Windsor Castle partially burned down. In the same speech she also said "I, like Queen Victoria, have always been a believer in that old maxim "moderation in all things"." which is loving hilarious coming from the monarch.

fun fact: according to some historians, the largest meal in history was the feast for Queen Victoria's 50 year anniversary, held in India during the middle of a famine that killed upwards of 10 million people

Nah as the second child he would have always been aware his existence was an insurance policy in case the heir designate dropped dead before ascending the throne. As soon as Charles had an heir Andrew knew he was safe from ever having to do anything even approximating work ever again.
