The Prince caused significant damage in 2016 when he crashed through a gate
Allegations of Andrew’s use of offensive language may have surfaced years later, but the same cannot be said for an incident in 2016. On this occasion, the Prince appeared to have vandalized the gates of Windsor Great Park after they failed to open for him. There is supposed to be a sensor that detects when a car is nearby, but apparently this didn’t work. Although Andrew could have driven an extra kilometer to avoid the gate, he apparently chose to simply drive through.

Privilege and Accountability
This action damaged both his car and the gates and caused considerable controversy amongst the British public. People called for prosecution against him for reckless driving and damage to property, claiming that this would be the case for any ordinary citizen in his situation. The incident raised questions about privilege, accountability, and how the wealthy are treated in comparison to the general population. It highlighted a perceived lack of consequences for the actions of those in positions of power. Critics argued that if it had been anyone else, legal repercussions would have been swift and severe.
