Perhaps he also can't get insurance for a RR.

Considering it’s also Prince Andrew’s, Prince William’s and even was even Diana’s choice of car, I ask the following two questions: 1. What are they doing respresenting us to the world and… 2. Germany: would you take the royal family back now please?! What are we doing paying for them? Can’t we get Audi to pay for them through their marketing budget? |

Monarchist and Patriot here. That obvs sets my bias, but I've not yet come across a president or presidential system anywhere that looks cheaper to run or does anywhere near as good a job as our royals. For all those who want a vote on it, you won't get David Attenbrough or Mother Theresa on the list it will be a Trump/Biden LePen/Macron type choice with none of them in any way electable - but one of them will have to get in. Here there's no choice for us or them - but keep them away from any real power and the corruption is largely kept in check (as long as they are forced to throw the Andy's under a bus) - meanwhile they more than earn their keep as eye candy for the wider world (for reasons I don't understand - but then I don't get celeb culture either).

I suspect that both Audi and LR make a thumping loss on supplying vehicles to the Royals, although VW will have deeper pockets to fund the product placement.

Really? Is this that much of an issue? Most 'VIP's' around the world are hauled about in luxury German cars. There are far greater things to worry about, or get annoyed about, across the world just now than what type of car someone is using. I love my L322, but I have another six cars and they are all Audi's. Doubtless I should face a Daly Mail firing squad. The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom |

@JMC Having seen a couple of pictures of said Audi's you mention, I bet the Royal Family do not drive that fast or get airborne Unless you lent one to Princess Anne

The thing I find sad about the Universal Germain Luxury Car thing is that everywhere in the world as getting closer to looking the same: Starbucks, McDonalds, Coca-Cola, an Apple Store and a VolksudiMW-Benz 🙄 If Charles isn’t about promoting this country abroad, what is he there for? |

You guys just don't get it, all the Royal Range Rovers are stuck at the dealers waiting for parts.
