Met will not investigate claims against Andrew relating to Virginia Giuffre

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will not be the subject of a criminal investigation in Britain over allegations he had sex in London with a teenager who was trafficked, and then put pressure on his police protection officer to dig up dirt on her.

The Metropolitan police on Saturday said after weeks of review, it would not launch any formal criminal investigation into King Charles’s brother. Mountbatten-Windsor’s ties to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein led to the stripping of his royal status.

King Charles: I don’t want my grandchildren to say I failed on climate

The King has admitted he does not want to be accused by his grandchildren of failing to act to save the planet and leaving them a “ghastly legacy of horror”.

He told environmentalist Steve Backshall on a new ITV documentary that he found it “very frustrating” that scientists’ warnings about climate change still went unheeded, despite the world being at a “tipping point”.

The documentary, Steve Backshall’s Royal Arctic Challenge, looks back at then Prince Charles’s 1975 voyage to the Canadian Arctic, where he braved an under ice dive that organisers now admit was more dangerous than his team realised.

The Andrew debacle has blown open the royal coffers for all to see

If you’ve ever dramatically broken up with an ex, only to find, to your miserable disbelief, that they keep popping up in the most inconvenient circumstances, you may feel a degree of sympathy with the royals as regards Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. A few weeks after he was stripped of his titles and ordered to leave Royal Lodge, he may now be the Andrew formerly known as Prince, but he shows no signs of wishing to leave his Windsor grace-and-favour home. By the terms of his (remarkably generous) lease, he is entitled to twelve months’ notice before departing. As one of his few remaining friends told the Times, ‘It’s really rather sad, but if it’s a case of who will blink first, then Andrew is going to dig in. He ain’t going anywhere.’


I wonder how long a white monarchy will last in a kingdom whose “subjects” hate white people?

‘Quite mad and a little bit sad’: Meghan’s ‘insipid’ Netflix Christmas special is panned and compared to ‘white noise’ by critics

Meghan Markle’s Netflix Christmas special was savaged by critics today – some of whom gave the ‘quite mad and a little bit sad’ show zero or one star for its ‘numbing content’.

The Duchess of Sussex used the episode to share tips with celebrity friends on how to make crackers, as well as wrapping different types of gifts and decorating a tree.

But reviewers in The Times, the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph and Independent were left stunned by the 56-minute show – and not in a good way.

Shamed Andrew is formally stripped of his last remaining royal titles as his eviction from the Royal Lodge in Windsor is delayed until early next year

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has today been officially stripped of his last royal titles by his brother – making him a commoner.

The former Duke of York had his membership of the Order of the Garter formally cancelled by King Charles III at Midday on Monday.

It is the oldest British Order of Chivalry, founded by King Edward III in 1348. Andrew’s coat of arms has already been removed from St George’s Chapel, Windsor, where his parents, the Queen and Prince Philip, are buried.

The royals are ‘concerned’ Fergie might tell all on US TV? I bet they are

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.

How much does the royal family really cost the British public?

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.

Yes, Meghan Markle’s staff announced her duchess title entering room — with only 2 guests present

Meghan Markle apparently needs an introduction.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, had a staff member announce her by her royal title as a journalist entered a room to interview the mother of two for a Harper’s Bazaar cover story that was published Wednesday.

‘Going back to acting was never Meghan’s plan’… Has Duchess of Sussex resumed her on-screen career because she and Harry fear running out of money?

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.’

Democrats in US Congress ask Andrew to appear for questioning over Epstein links

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 officially strips Andrew of HRH style and prince title

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: America loathes Harry and Meghan. People approach me to confide the most mortifying things about them

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.

The fall of Andrew reveals the folly of monarchy

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.

Andrew and Fergie? It’s a case for revolution

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.

Met told to open new Andrew investigation

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”.
