Prince Andrew returned from Falklands War 'a changed man,' he says in deleted post

Dec 27,2021 5:27 am

Prince Andrew returned from the Falklands War " a changed man" He Said in a now deleted piece posted on his ex-wife's Instagram account.

The Duke of York recalled his time as a Helicopter Pilot in The Conflict 40 Years ago in three posts on Saturday.

His piece was initially signed off as HRH The Duke of York, before the reference to HIs Royal Highness was soon removed.

And only hours later all the posts were removed.

It is unclear why the 700-word account was Taken Down .

But Andrew gave up The Right to use HRH in an official capacity in January when the as he faced a US civil action over sexual assault allegations, which he denied.

Virginia Giuffre sued Andrew for allegedly sexually assaulting her on three occasions when she was 17. The case later reached a multi-million pound settlement out of court.

In The First Instagram post, Sarah, Duchess of York wrote that she had asked Andrew for his reflections on the 40th anniversary of his sailing from Portsmouth to the Falkland Islands.

Prince Andrew began: " As I sit here at my desk on this cold crisp spring morning thinking back to April 1982 I've tried to think what was going through my mind as we sailed out of Portsmouth lining the Flight Deck of Hms Invincible . "

He concludes: :" So whilst I think back to A Day when a young man went to war, full of bravado, I returned a changed man.

" I put away Childish Things and false bravado and returned A Man full in The Knowledge of human frailty and suffering. "

The 62-year-old said he was thinking about those experiencing conflict today.

He also described being shot at: " I was flying and saw a chaff shell fired from one of our ships that passed not that far in front of us.

" For a moment it was on a steady bearing before it began to cross to our left.

" The Terror that that was going to be that, just for a moment, has had a lasting and permanent effect on me. "

Andrew spoke about how The War had affected him during his 2019 Newsnight interview in which he denied allegations of sexual assault.

" I didn't sweat at The Time because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War when I was shot at and I simply. . it was almost impossible for me to sweat. "
