“Woke Royals”

Might Sarah Ferguson go “rogue” after accepting a “six-figure offer” for a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey? Palace sources have told The Sun that she’s contemplating doing one — adding that the royal family is “concerned”, but feel “there’s not much they can do to stop her”.

Blimey! I’m not surprised at the “concern”, are you? The idea of Ferguson — who was never anything if not a bit “rogue”, even at her best behaved, but now? In the present moment? Booted out of her home, stripped of her titles, her latest children’s book likely pulped, dropped by the charities with which she worked, reputation in the gutter, friends, running for the hills? Now, when she has really very little, if anything, left to lose? The idea of this incarnation of Fergie, spilling unknowable beans? That could cause the royal family real damage. More, potentially, than Prince Harry’s book Spare. More, even, than his and Meghan’s interview with Winfrey.

In 1760, the British monarchy was effectively bankrupt. Up to that year, when George III inherited the throne, the monarch had been responsible for meeting the increasing costs of a wide range of public services, including the army and the civil service.

So a deal was reached whereby responsibility for most of these matters was transferred to parliament and, to fund these services, the revenues from royal landholdings in what is now known as the Crown Estate were surrendered to parliament, so in effect to the public.

Henceforth, a civil list would provide an annual income to the monarch from the public purse to enable royal duties to be carried out. In 1760, this was set at the generous level of £800,000 a year.

Smiling, graciously waving and elegant in a blue striped shirt, white jeans and dark glasses – the Duchess of Sussex made her surprise return to acting with all the deliberately applied polish you might expect.

Photographed on the set of the film Close Personal Friends, which is shooting in Pasadena, California, she radiated confidence. A well-placed insider told her favoured People magazine: ‘She seemed very relaxed and happy. She was very sweet and down-to-earth.’

Parading about as fake Royals ain’t the lucrative gig they thought it might be.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been asked by Democrats in US Congress to answer questions as part of its investigation into paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Members of the House Oversight Committee wrote to Andrew in a letter addressed to Royal Lodge, Windsor Great Park, which the former prince has agreed to leave.

The committee does not have the power to compel Andrew to appear in front of them, but said it intends to ask questions related to information on Epstein’s network and associates based on the pair’s “longstanding” friendship.

King Charles has officially stripped the former Duke of York, now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, of his HRH style and his prince title.

Charles formally made the changes, which were announced a week ago, by issuing a letters patent under the Great Seal of the Realm, which the Crown Office published in the Gazette, the UK’s official public record.

The entry, published on Wednesday, read: “The king has been pleased by letters patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of ‘Royal Highness’ and the titular dignity of ‘Prince’.”

Megyn Kelly has launched a brutal takedown of Meghan Markle for ‘dining out on royal titles’ in America.

The high-profile conservative commentator declared that ‘loathing’ of the Duchess of Sussex is one of the few things that unites Americans on the right and left.

Kelly was speaking to the Daily Mail as she launches ‘The Megyn Kelly Channel’ on SiriusXM, the latest expansion of her growing media empire.

Almost everyone likes deposed Royals tainted by a hint of scandal, these two are just pretentious bores.

So the slow-motion defenestration of the Andrew formerly known as Prince continues.

Following a ‘discussion with the king’ earlier this month, he had already been forced to give up the title of the Duke of York, as well as membership of Order of the Garter, the most senior order of knighthood in Britain’s honours system. If the royal family’s intention was to draw a line under the scandal-ridden Andrew – forever sullied by his friendship with the world’s most notorious nonce, Jeffrey Epstein – it failed spectacularly. The publication a few days later of Nobody’s Girl, the posthumous memoir of poor Virginia Giuffre, saw to that.

He hasn’t only disgraced himself — he is trashing Queen Elizabeth’s reputation too

Ihave been surveying the Sandringham real estate options for Andrew. Wood Farm: Prince Philip’s poky former shag pad. It’s already a no. Then there’s York Cottage, a place even the royals — never ones to be that picky about the look of a house — deem glum and ugly. It is “unlucky and sad”.

Park Hall, a now empty nursing home where Diana grew up — well, I suppose that’s the best one. It’s very Andrew. Big, faded, grand; it could easily be tarted up. It could easily — and I bet you these are the exact thoughts that are flashing through his tattered brain as he furiously consults interior decorators — could easily be fitted with a (small) Jacuzzi, a helipad, a spa, even, maybe a 100ft dressing room and bomb shelter, as he had at Sunninghill Park.

Royal Scumbags. The monarchy will have a very difficult time recovering from this if that is even possible.

The Metropolitan Police has been told to reinvestigate sex abuse allegations against Andrew Mountbatten Windsor following the removal of his royal titles.

MPs and one of Britain’s top former prosecutors said Scotland Yard should reopen its probe into allegations that the King’s brother sexually abused Virginia Giuffre.

The former prince is also facing pressure to appear before a US Congress committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, with one of its members warning Andrew “if you don’t come forward with information, we are going to find all the information” and that they would “not let this go”.

King Charles’ decision to strip his brother Andrew — formerly Prince Andrew — of his princely title hasn’t just brought undeniable humiliation to the former Duke of York’s daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. It could also have repercussions for their family for generations to come.

In fact, one Andrew biographer believes it could prompt the young women nieces to relinquish their own titles.

After weeks, months, years and even decades of scandals, all the titles and privileges of the former Prince Andrew have been completely removed.

There are no modern precedents for such a colossal loss of royal status.

Unlike the previous statement on his future, this was from Buckingham Palace rather than Andrew himself.

It’s a ripping off the bandage moment, which the Palace will hope will finally draw a line under the endless oil slick of bad news stories about Andrew.

Where will Andrew live on estate with its own troubled past?

There is something oddly fitting about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor ending up in a home on the Sandringham Estate.

The estate was bought for the future Edward VII when he was Albert, Prince of Wales. Albert was a frequenter of brothels who ended up giving evidence in court in the infamous baccarat scandal, which concerned cheating at cards. In short, the first royal resident of the estate was a model of impropriety, and now the latest tenant arrives similarly drenched in scandal.

The King has removed Prince Andrew’s remaining titles and will evict him from Royal Lodge.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement that the monarch’s younger brother would now be known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Confirming that Andrew will now surrender the lease on his Windsor home, the palace said the King and Queen wanted to make clear that their sympathies had always rested with the victims of abuse

The statement from Buckingham Palace in full:

His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew.

Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.

Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.

These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.

The royal woes are far from over for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson as a leading royal biographer has claimed there is a ‘very good chance’ the pair could end up behind bars.

Speaking on TalkTV last night, Andrew Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, said the Royal Family will ‘throw him under the bus’ due to the ‘reputation damage’ he has caused.

Mr Lownie told the programme: ‘I do think the authorities will want to pursue some of these investigations. They will bring charges. I think if they do so there is a very good chance that both he and Sarah Ferguson may well go to prison.’

Prince William threatened to remove the titles of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie unless they pressured their disgraced father to move out of Royal Lodge, it has been claimed.

Emily Maitlis, the broadcaster who grilled Prince Andrew in his infamous Newsnight interview in 2019, claimed the Prince of Wales may have met with the princesses to give them the ultimatum last week.

It comes after their parents, Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, are understood to have finally agreed to move out of Royal Lodge, the mansion they have shared since 2008, amid scrutiny over their ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
