Of course. And was not surprised. This has been building. Plus, he knows his sibling.

I had the same thought. It’s also a lever for Charles to pull to further distance himself and resources from Andrew. He seems to be tightening the circle in many capacities over the years. Also, epic sibling flex.

He knows.

1. Epic sibling revenge
2. Charles is no dummy

The SAVE Act and Voter ID are two completely different issues.

They will repeat this so all of the grandmas and grandpas on Facebook and Next Door will repeat this like fucking parrots.

“pledges the royal family's full support for police probes.”
