Prince Andrew to Visit Seoul

 

[Russophile]

Well I talked to a gal at the local "Back to School" Barbecue who teaches international economics at PSU and asked her point blank if Prince Andrews efforts to promote trade really make a difference. And being a Professor, she really hadn't any idea at all and just about less of who Prince Andrew was. . . .

Anyway, Warren, since you know EVERYTHING, did PA design that coat of arms himself or was it already the House of York's arms or what? Thanks!

 

[Warren]

Coats of Arms are designed (devised) by the Royal College of Arms. The above is actually the shield from the full Arms. It is the standard royal field (as in my avatar) differentiated by the banner with the anchor to denote the Duke of York. Prince Andrew would have had some input into what he wanted in the banner.

Oh dear...a double chin...not his best angle, I'm afraid.

Asia seems to be where the money is.

He's not golfing enough. . . .

And yes, Maid, we ship more money over there every day. HSBC Bank is Hong Kong Singapore Bank of China. They do very well over here in the states. . . .

[Bella]

How adorable! I esp. like the ones w him and the children! Thanks, Ice.

 

[Russophile]

Bella! You beat me to it! I was going to say "Thanks Ice! I'm sure Bella will appreciate these!" Boy I'm slow on the draw today!

My he got home from Asia rather quickly, didn't he?

 

[Skydragon]

He's not golfing enough. . . .

I bet he got in a game or two somewhere!

 

[Mermaid1962]

My favourite prince! I don't care how much golf he plays or how many Airmiles he accumulates--I like him! I like that picture of the little girl with her hand almost touching his arm. Cute.

Indeed, Prince Andrew is the handsomest Prince. He is like French cognac ... becoming better with age. Seriously speaking, this is the first time I see Prince Andrew performing non-foreign non-business-related engagement.

 

[Russophile]

and what's his salary on this? Sky, you were able to get ahold of that article for the Naval officer's pay, is there anything about what he makes being the UK's Roving Financial Ambassador?

 

[Mermaid1962]

Really? He appears sometimes in a military context as well or on other engagements in the UK. His most high-profile jobs seem to be his foreign ones, though.

this is the first time I see Prince Andrew performing non-foreign non-business-related engagement.

Andrew doesn't receive a salary for his role as ambassador for trade and industry. You'll find this stated on his official site as well as the UK trade and industry site.

I just love photo nr. 3. The look on that little girl's face, like she is thinking:"Are you a real Prince and can I actually touch you?" Priceless!!

.... but so that we are clear, that is not funds from the state. That is money provided privately to Andrew by the Queen
