“Woke Royals”

If you’re an Afghan translator sheltering in a Kabul compound, life must seem pretty grim. The Taliban’s triumph has brought with it the restoration of sharia law – a throwback to when the movement ruled Afghanistan 20 years ago. The only difference between then and now seems to be their warriors’ concerted PR push, with journalists on the ground subject to ceaseless Taliban press conferences. If Madison Avenue did coups, perhaps.

But the night is darkest just before the dawn. And now, at last, hope is here: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally released a public statement.

Britain’s Prince Andrew remains a person of interest in the federal investigation into the sex-trafficking case involving late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a new report says.

The UK royal — who was sued by rape accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre last week — has allegedly been stonewalling US investigators’ attempts to interview him.

Last year, then-US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman accused the royal of having “sought to falsely portray himself to the public as eager and willing to cooperate” with the criminal investigation despite “unequivocally” refusing to.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre may have a former employee of Jeffery Epstein on her side in her bombshell sexual assault lawsuit against Prince Andrew.

A man who once worked for the late financier — and claims to have spotted Andrew groping a young, blonde Giuffre near the pool on Epstein’s private island — wants to testify on her behalf, according to a report.

Steve Scully, who spent six years fixing Epstein’s telecommunications, is ready and willing to take the stand in Giuffre’s sensational Manhattan Federal Court case, The Sun reported.

I think this is a Royal “Oh Fuck” moment.

The Metropolitan Police commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick, confirmed on Thursday that the force is conducting a review into the allegations of sexual assault against Prince Andrew, declaring that “no one is above the law.”

Dick’s comments were in response to the filing of a lawsuit in a US court by Virginia Giuffre, accusing Prince Andrew of sexual assault, battery and inflicting emotional distress on her when she was 17.

Speaking to UK radio station LBC, Dick stated that “as a result of what’s going on,” her force is having “another look at the material” relevant to the allegations. However, the Met commissioner said that, despite the review, no formal investigation into Prince Andrew is currently underway.

A US woman who alleges she was brought to the UK aged 17 to have sex with the Duke of York has filed a civil case in New York claiming he abused her.

Virginia Giuffre, who was an accuser of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claims she was sexually assaulted by Prince Andrew in London and New York.

A spokeswoman for Prince Andrew, 61, said there was “no comment” on the case, which was filed under New York’s Child Victims Act.

He has consistently denied the claims.

What next for Prince Andrew? Queen’s son does NOT have diplomatic immunity over lawsuit brought by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts and will probably never set foot in America again for fear of being hauled to court

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down in March 2020 to embark on a private life away from royal duties and become financially independent. But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were “astonished” that they had to pay their own security bill.

Prince Harry harbours ‘Prince Andrew complex’ and fears he has ‘limited shelf-life’ before public become more interested in ‘Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’, friend claims

Prince Harry harbours a ‘Prince Andrew complex’ and fears he has a ‘limited shelf-life’ before the public become ‘more interested in Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’, a friend of the royal has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex, 36, who is currently living in his $14 million mansion in Santa Barbara, has given a series of explosive interviews since he stepped back from royal duty last year.

A friend has said he ‘always been in such a rush to make an impact’ before he begins to slip down the pecking order in the royal family.

Prince Charles is to ensure that his two-year-old grandson Archie will never be a Prince, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The heir to the throne has made it clear that Harry and Meghan’s son will have no place among frontline Royals as he plans a slimmed-down Monarchy after he becomes King.

The move has incensed the Sussexes and is thought to have prompted the series of bitter accusations the couple have levelled at Charles and the Royal Family from across the Atlantic.

Drawn into the culture wars, the Queen can no longer be neutral

Historians of the future will find Britain an odd place. Here was a country which many loved and yet where displays of overt patriotism, let alone tub-thumping nationalism, made them uncomfortable.

Prince Charles is reportedly “boiling with anger” toward his son, Prince Harry, after the latter slammed his father during an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Prince Harry launched an AppleTV+ series alongside Winfrey called “The Me You Can’t See” digging into the private lives and histories of popular figures. Prince Harry, one of the first guests on the interview program hosted by Winfrey, claimed his father made him “suffer” growing up as a member of the royal family in one of the opening episodes.

“It is deranged language that hints at emotional abuse and manipulation.”

Prince Harry revealed this week that wife Meghan Markle told him she was going to commit suicide but stopped herself because she didn’t want her husband to lose “another woman” in his life, referencing Harry’s mother, the late Princess Diana.

A royal expert is claiming that Prince Harry is using his newfound “woke persona” as a shield against “any wrongdoing.”

And, as a result, Harry has distanced himself from Prince Philip, who he was once likened to.

Harry has a bad case of Meghan.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are facing questions over their partnership with a brand which sells skin-whitening creams, it is reported.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex last week announced a multi-year global partnership with Procter & Gamble.

But since news of the deal emerged, P&G’s sale of Olay skin-lightening creams has been brought to people’s attention.
