I don't see what the bolded parts have to do with anything. Andrew brought this all on himself - and sadly the BRF - by his willfulness, his sense of entitlement, and probably his notion that he was "teflon", that nothing could touch him. That's not in question. I just can't go as far as saying he doesn't need love - he's a human being, of course he needs love. I just can not support the idea of Andrew's family shunning him. They can be angry with him - furious, actually - without abandoning him not as a Prince, but as a son, brother and father.
It is times when the whole world seems to be crumbling under one's feet that a person needs love the most. Unconditional love. Its also fine to have times when a mother looks at her son and can say "I love you but I really don't like your actions very much right now. What are we going to do about it?" There is no age limit to when a child really messes things up.
The Queen is acting in a dual role where Andrew is concerned. As the prince's queen, she's had to be the "boss" and do what is best for her "Firm" and the monarchy and that involved putting Andrew "out to pasture" and out of the public eye. As his mother, of course she's not going to abandon him to a galaxy far, far away and hope the Force deals with him. I don't think any mother would do that. If there is a strong bond of love, it underlines everything not because of what a person is like or what a person has done but in *spite* of wrongdoings and actions that have brought a person to his knees.
Actions beget reactions and there's plenty of those happening in regards to Andrew's royal role and his incentives and charities and patronages. Withdrawal from association with Andrew has been swift and I really don't think Andrew's reputation could sink any lower and he's losing not only his life's work as a hard working royal (as of Nov 3rd, Andrew has had the 3rd most engagements ,with only Charles and Anne ahead of him, at 281 according to Iluvbertie's tabulations), he's also been very much under fire from the four corners of the globe.
He may be reaping what he's sown and it gives a sense of a need to take responsibility for one's own actions and words but those that do love him as a son, sibling and father, will stand with him in support and love because they know more than we do, the good qualities and characteristics that Andrew has.
Will be interesting if its true Andrew has been told to leave his BP offices or pay rent on them, I thought things like that which are behind palace doors wouldn't be dealt with as BP would think they could get away with it.
From what I understand, Andrew's office and staff will remain in BP but no longer funded by the Sovereign Grant. Word is that the Queen will fund these through her own private income from the Duchy of Lancaster. With Pitch, I believe should they need a venue for their events and fundraisers and such, they will have to rent space just as any commercial endeavor would. I don't see it being exclusively tied to royal palaces any longer as that sends the wrong message. Its just been a bit ago I've read that they've dropped the @Palace part so that's telling right there.
