Cliché-tilting members of the media are framing the Prince Andrew saga with one word: "disgrace."
However, that particular term no longer carries a negative connotation, at least not in sophisticated circles.
"Disgrace" has evolved into code for the need to strategically plan a comeback. The search will be on for a public relations firm specializing in reputation restoration. Or, those kinds of specialists will come calling, pitching their services.
Meanwhile, there will be several months or longer of laying low. Yes, the miscreant will travel into the wilderness of invisibility. He or she will only allow a few star snaps of dining with brandname folks in elite restaurants or doing wellness stuff like jogging.
The Prince eventually can be rebranded as a do-gooder in some underdeveloped economy. He can take on the role of project manager and fundraiser for a cause such as creating irrigation systems for farming areas affected by climate change.
Or, he can establish a foundation to oversee documentaries about the history of civilization. Each would have a message about lessons to learn.
No question, The Prince can come back. Disgrace is a holding slot before The Next. The public relations industry has given the world human recycling.
