"His best course of action is to lie low,” she began.
Bond feels the Duke of York should “enjoy the immensely privileged lifestyle he still has, embrace his family life, and do as his brother asks.”
In situations where Andrew is present among other members of the Royal Family, the commentator added: "If he is still invited to family gatherings, he would do well to forego the protocol of walking in order of precedence and fade quietly into the background.

“In other words: show a bit of humility, Andrew, because we haven’t seen a shred of it yet,” Bond continued to tell The Mirror.
The commentator also speculated on what the future may hold for the Duke of York, which remains out of his control.
Despite opinion polls suggesting there was a public appetite to see the “deeply disliked” Prince “squirm,” Bond felt he would not have his beloved dukedom taken from him.
“I'm not sure that taking his Dukedom away would serve any great purpose, other than making the King look particularly vindictive, and causing Parliament to spend time on an issue that doesn't affect the rest of us: MPs surely have better things to do?"

The commentator was referring to the complex legislation that would need to be put through Parliament to strip Andrew of his titles.
“He has already been sacked by his mother, stripped of his military appointments and banned from using his HRH in any official capacity.
“His brother, the King, has cut off his allowance and his security costs and wants him out of Royal Lodge. You could argue that he has already paid a hefty price,” she observed.
Bond also shared some sympathy for Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

“For his two daughters, this latest slew of lurid allegations must be hard to take,” the commentator suggested.
However, she felt they would be able to weather the storm of attention around their father.
“They have done nothing wrong and are popular with the rest of the family — and with much of the public," Bond observed.
