Oh absolutely, Andrew should have stayed in the Navy, I think it was what he really wanted to do. I'm sure Fergie had put pressure on him to quit. She always blames the Navy for her "dalliances" or to be crass, her "affairs" while Andrew was serving.
It was a huge mistake to have Andrew replace the Duke of Kent as the British Trade Rep., I can't remember the correct title right now. It was a huge debacle in the making. That was the beginning of his downfall as we know it.
