The athletes were added into a law designed to protect child movie stars (which is probably why it isn't a national law .... not too many states have a lot of child actors, let alone child stars)

Given that she is a Californian, a percentage of her earnings (while a minor) had to go into a trust fund -- athletes provide "creative services" for the purposes of the Jackie Coogan law (the law mandating that a portion of the earnings are in trust for the kid earning them)

All of the late Queen's kids would have been raised to be working royals ... the difference you originally raised wasn't between Anne (and Edward) vs. Andrew, but between Anne's and Edward's kids vs. Andrew and Harry. My point is that it is simply easier to raise kids to earn their own living...

IMO, a major difference is that many of the examples you cite (children of Princess Anne and Prince Edward, etc) knew from day 1 that they would not be working royals and were raised accordingly -- so they all developed other skills and other interests. OTOH, Andrew and Harry were both raised...

I was thinking, "The Andrew Formerly Known as Prince" as a suggestion.

I thought that Andrew's daughters weren't working royals in any event, so the only way they would be at any events is if they were invited.

Apparently, nothing will be done until after the investigation is concluded .... and imo, if charges are being brought against Andrew, the proposal should wait until after any trial.

Last time a sibling of a serving monarch was arrested was when Mary I had her half sister Elizabeth arrested under suspicion of complicity with the Wyatt rebellion: https://royalcentral.co.uk/features/its-been-five-centuries-since-the-last-royal-sibling-was-arrested-heres-how-216772/

That Andrew was arrested on misconduct charges wouldn't stop other charges being added later -- at least in the US, but I doubt that the UK would be significantly different in this regard.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Is he the first OGM to be coached by an OGM?

Someone posted that Kurt said he was planning to speak to Ilia ... and maybe Raf could arrange for him to talk with Michelle. IMO, she knows a lot about going to Olys under media glare as the overwhelming favorite (and how to cope with the loss)
