New claims from a source cited by Andrew Lownie allege that Jeffrey Epstein discussed a plan to “take out” Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, as fresh emails released by a United States congressional committee show Epstein calling the former duke “great fun” and referring to him by the codename “The Duke.” Andrew is seen in public for the first time since losing his titles, riding on the Windsor estate while negotiations over his move continue, and reports suggest King Charles has struck a private deal to protect Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s future roles. There are also signs Sarah may seek refuge in Portugal as the fallout spreads.

Before Jeffrey Epstein, before the BBC interview, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s reputation for royal chaos began with a moat and a Meat Loaf. Author Andrew Lownie reveals the moment the prince tried to shove the rock legend into the water during It’s a Royal Knockout—a TV fiasco so bad it made the monarchy a national punchline.

Meanwhile, oddsmakers are betting on whether Andrew or Fergie will join The Traitors, and Lownie says new witnesses keep coming forward—claiming the Duke’s arrogance could soon send him fleeing the country.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.👑 Follow our hit series Crown and Controversy!

bull shit, Andrew has every right to be at his Father's memorial. everyone else if they don't like it they shouldn't be there.
omg he is no longer a senior member. and if his security is at risk, maybe he should try shutting his wife up, then people won't hate him and her so much.
does Harry think if he just keeps saying megan is not a bully, that it will be true. why do they keep lieing.
Oprah? really? she's royal now? please stop talking about the Americans. I'm here for the royals.
