he was lying in his own coffin. (hmmm) It is a creepy-as-hell photo to me. That was my sister's kneejerk impression as well. But, the photo "shot" seen around the world, for sure.

The part that thought he was untouchable and above the law.
Privileged, entitled. Never in a million years did he think he
would get arrested like a common person.

You could see the severe shocked look on his face.

His brother took away his title, but he was still acting the arrogant
pompous fool in front of reporters.

He was then thrown out of Royal Lodge, a huge mansion where he lived
for many years, now lives in a smaller cottage.
Then arrested with mug shots taken.

He is in total disbelief.

It is finally hitting him. About damn time.

Or as the professionals say, 'made a photograph'.

That photo is one helluva catch. World-class, in terms of what it represents. It could well be the photo of the year.

I’m not sure about the use of titles, especially when things change. Are we supposed to refer to him as as “former prince Andrew” or will Andy suffice? Maybe “randy “ Andy as the new title to distinguish from all the other Andies out there.
