1988: Margaret Thatcher and Prince Andrew Survey Devastation of the Lockerbie Bombing

[@kevsouth8497]

What a stupid thing Andrew said. Smiling at the camera just before he does.

[@antpoo71]

Prince prat.

[@ilike3v3rything83]

Always was an embarassment and this clip confirms it.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

He went onto say it was in a way worse for the airline company as they'd lost a multi million dollar passenger jet aircraft. This was not broadcast as were the various interviews with other celebrities, Actors, comedians who wanted to say something meaningless and add a bit of self promotion.. I've seen the unbroadcast segments and it's around 7m long

What a truly heartfelt message from Prince Andrew! You can tell through his teary eyes how much compassion he holds for the people of Lockerbie, Scotland. His sense of duty along with his immense empathy really went a long way to help ease the anxiety for those poor people. Such an amazing man who obviously holds others in sincere and great compassion. You can tell how much he was hurting inside while delivering his comments.

Sarcasm at best

[@david-iandawson]

Agreed

[@yellyman5483]

Absolutely. Prince Andrew is so kind and empathetic that he even befriended a pedophile when no one else would speak to him. That alone proves what a terrific man Andrew is. His very moving words to Lockerbie after the disaster about that something like that was bound to happen somewhere, and that Lockerbie should feel more sorry for America than for themselves, since most of the passengers on the plane came from America, was so heartfelt and touching, and spoke volumes to what a genuine person Andrew really is. I`m sure the loved ones of all the people who died in Lockerbie from the plane crash really needed to hear that after a plane fell down from the sky, and crushed their houses, and killed 11 people in their home town. There`s always someone who is worse off according to our most beloved prince Andrew.

@FrancoBegbieT2 Everybody knew he was a spoiled and entitled prat long before he was caught with his pants down in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. He is so uncaring and selfish that it blows my mind.

There`s always someone who is worse off, and i`m sure every single one who survived the terrorist attack in Lockerbie really needed to hear that from our most beloved prince.

Well to be fair, he did manage to get the lockerbie bomber freed, using his brother charles who was a close friend of Col Gaddafi to act as a go between. Charles had pressurised government for a long time to have a ties with the UK. Charles reffered to Gaddafi in letters as your Excellency, a word he only used on people he held in the highest esteem. Just think if they weren't royals they'd do very well in politics, as they're constantly interfering in and influential in British politics.. Makes you wonder whose really running the country

[@yellyman5483]

@@adrinathegreat3095 Is that true? Did Charles and Andrew lobby Thatcher to free the Lockerbie bombers? They have no compassion, or empathy for the victims. Look at Andrew. He went up to Lockerbie, and gave the worst press conference i have ever seen a royal do. I think the UK should go for a republic when Charles III passes away.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Ah.. One more thing I forgot, Afterwards the queen was a little embarrassed by his speech, so asked Charles about it, Charles told the queen I'll ask Jimmy Savile what to do. And Charles wrote to Jimmy, telling him about the predicament, saying Jimmy I know you've got your ears on the ground and you understand the man in the street so I'm asking for your advice. Savile despite his child molesting ways, did actually understand what was going on in the streets, he manipulated it to his advantage.. But also remembers the Queens emotionless response to the Abefan disaster, and knew she had to show emotion.. So told Charles to send in she who must be obeyed, the big gun.

[@Jazzinthedark84]

Andrew spreading the joy as usual

[@alexanderjoughin5898]

Statistically this had had to happen 😂😂

[@glen9303]

You have better odds of winning the lottery then having a plane landing on your house, what a knob.

[@FLIPMODE630]

Two criminals survey crime scene, RIP to any Lockerbie victims , then to have those two parade around ,

[@ilike3v3rything83]

100 percent.

[@tasfayehomerchigma1822]

Good history ..I remember that

[@nicolaallen7698]

She did the same with the Zeebrugge disaster also and Charles and Diana. Our Prime Minister wouldn't do that now. I wish we had her now, a true patriot

[@jnuval]

Glad to finally hear Prince Andrew's comments in their proper context. Still insensitive, but not as bad as the media made it out to be.

[@RichieRich1234RICH]

He’s mentally defective. No excuses.

[@ilike3v3rything83]

How could his comments possibly be any worse ? They were totally stupid,irrelevant,idiotic and hurtful.

[@malbig2344]

It is every bit as bad as the media made it out to be. That man is a disgrace to the uniform and a terrible human to boot.

[@helenweatherby1694]

Prince Andrew is a complete fool.

Same old loop white machine, don't forget we don't see the American one shot down the Iranian plane on regulars

[@TestTest-zb3dt]

I'm sure it received media coverage in that country.

@@TestTest-zb3dt every year like this one ? Where

[@TestTest-zb3dt]

@@gorillachilla Not sure. But they're welcome to broadcast in that country whatever they see fit, same here and everywhere else.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Britain immediately offered support to the USA and asked them what to say, it was a cover up, the USA eventually paid compensation to Iran for the killing of 290 passengers in a commercial airliner. Lockerbie happened 5 months later, interestingly prince andrew campaigned for the release of the Lockerbie bomber
