King Charles has reportedly severed financial ties with his younger brother, Prince Andrew. In an updated version of the book Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, author Robert Hardman claims that the King instructed the Keeper of the Privy Purse to remove the Duke of York’s £1 million annual allowance and to stop paying for his private security, per an excerpt published by The Daily Mail.

A source added that Andrew is “no longer a financial burden on the King.”

Hardman writes that the prince must now pay for the protection of historical art and furniture from the Royal Collection and several antiques he owns after he reportedly did not accept a proposal from the King to relocate from the Royal Lodge in Windsor to the “considerably smaller property” of Frogmore Cottage (the residence is now vacant after Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, were asked to move out in 2023).

“The Duke had certainly been faring better than expected since his brother succeeded to the throne,” Hardman wrote in his book. “He continued to enjoy access to Windsor facilities and a living allowance which, according to a well-sourced newspaper article, amounted to £1 million annually.”

He continued, “The cost of the private security contract to guard the property, which sits outside that Windsor cordon, was running at what one insider called ‘a substantial seven-figure sum annually.’ In August it was widely reported (and not disputed) that the King was no longer prepared to renew that contract beyond the autumn of 2024.”

Hardman added that if the Duke of York continued to reside at the Royal Lodge and rejected Charles’s offer to move to Frogmore Cottage, he was told that his brother “would feel no obligation to continue paying even his day-to-day living allowance.”

“In the late summer of this year, that patience ran out,” Hardman wrote. “The Duke informed the monarch that, regardless of any ultimatum, he was going to stay put at Royal Lodge anyway. At which point, the Keeper of the Privy Purse (the monarchy’s finance director) was instructed to sever his living allowance.”

Prince Andrew initially lost his publicly-funded police protection in 2022 after stepping away from royal duties. The move was prompted by a disastrous interview about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which aired three years prior. At the time, the late Queen Elizabeth also stripped her son of his military titles and patronages.

Society photographer Terence Donovan threatened to blackmail Diana’s then-secret biographer Andrew Morton unless he paid him £70,000 for the iconic tiara picture of the Princess used in the book.

Diana gave Morton a sheaf of private pictures for the book she thought had been taken by her favourite snapper Patrick Demarchelier, inadvertently including the Donovan portrait.

‘He told us that if the price wasn’t met, he would tell the world that Diana was involved in the book,’ Morton tells Radio Times.

‘All our attempts to camouflage her involvement would have come to naught. She’d no longer have “wiggle room” to work out her future arrangements with her husband.’

Fortuitously, Donovan, who killed himself aged 60 in 1996, kept his mouth shut for less.

SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn wasn’t the only one not warbling at the Cenotaph. 

Prince William was mute during the singing of O God Our In Ages Past. His Blues and Royals great coat has no pockets which meant that he went on parade without a hymn sheet. 

A source says it was suggested that he fold a sheet into the deep cuffs on his coat, his non-saluting arm to avoid it slipping out embarrassingly, but he decided against it. At least he knew the words to his dad’s anthem.

Michael Sheen doesn’t much resemble Prince Andrew in forthcoming A Very Royal Scandal but the disgraced duke should fret more about the preachy Welsh windbag’s capacity to embarrass the royals.

He handed back his OBE in 2017, protesting against William’s appointment as Prince of Wales.

He also took aim at FA president William for cheering on England’s footballers on the eve of last year’s World Cup.

He’ll surely depict Andrew warts and all… with an emphasis on the warts.

Multifarious squawks of relief from the partridge and pheasant community at David Cameron‘s appointment as Foreign Secretary. 

An enthusiastic marksman with his shotgun, Cameron has been inundated with invitations to country shoots over the coming months. 

He will now be too busy. Worse, he will have to withdraw his re-application for membership of Tory grandee watering hole White’s.

Former Tory chairman Norman Fowler recalls the bafflement of health minister Virginia Bottomley when she succeeded David Mellor and wrote a two-hour slot for ‘shopping’ in her official diary.

Her staff collapsed in convulsions of laughter. It transpired that was the code priapic Mellor used when he sneaked off to meet his mistress Antonia de Sancha.

The final series of Netflix‘s royal drama The Crown will depict the last time Prince William and Prince Harry spoke to their mother – but it will not be a true reflection of the conversation.

The first instalment of series 6 will cover the final weeks of Princess Diana‘s life before the fatal car crash with Dodi Fayed in August 31, 1997 at the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, but as a fictionalised version of events, viewers can expect to see some embellishment of the facts.

In epsisode four of the final series, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, is depicted as frustrated while in Paris with Dodi Fayed, and desperate to return to the UK to see her sons.

After missing one opportunity to speak with them on the phone, Diana finally manages to have a call with Prince William and Prince Harry, in which they have a heartfelt exchange.

However, according to Prince Harry and Prince William’s accounts of the last phone call he ever had with his mother, this version of events does not quite ring true.

In the episode, Diana calls Balmoral, where her sons are on holiday with their father.

During the phone call, William asks his mother if she’s going to marry Dodi Fayed, to which Diana says she is not.

He then explains all the newspapers in the UK are reporting that the pair are engaged.

Diana replies: ‘I am emphatically not going to marry Dodi. To be honest, I cant wait to come home.’

Prince William and Prince Harry have only spoken once about their final phone call with their mother – and can’t remember much of what was said

William then asks his mother if she is ok. She nods and says: ‘I’m ok. Its just a bit mad here. I don’t really understand how I ended up here. Mummy just needs to make some changes to her life, thats all. But that’s not your problem – thats mine.’

In a tender moment, she tells her sons she loves them and they reply to say they love her too. She promises to return home the following evening to see them.

Later in the episode, Diana comes to her untimely death in the car accident.

Although it is true that Prince William and Prince Harry shared a phone call with their mother on the last day she was alive, their recollections of the call do not reflect the Netflix series’ depiction.

Speaking in a 2017 documentary Diana: Our Mother, the Princes discussed for the first time the details of their ‘desperately rushed’ final call with the late royal.

Recalling the chat, they expressed their regret that they were desperate to go back outside and play with their cousins, who were also at Balmoral.

Harry said: ‘I can’t really, necessarily, remember what I said. But all I do remember is probably, you know, regretting for the rest of my life how short the phone call was.

‘And if I’d known that was the last time I was going to speak to my mother – the things I would have said to her.’

The fact that Harry, who was 12 at the time of his mother’s death, cannot remember the details of his final conversation with Diana suggests it was not a chat where deep feelings were expressed – rather, an ordinary discussion because neither Diana nor the princes knew it would be their final conversation.

William also said of the call: ‘Harry and I were in a desperate rush to say goodbye, you know, ‘see you later’.’

It has been almost three decades since Diana sat down to give a television interview often discussed as a broadcasting landmark – and a moment in royal history.

Princess Diana‘s sit-down Panorama interview with Martin Bashir aired on this day in November 1995. Some 20million people tuned in to watch.

Yet today the broadcast is seen as a landmark of a very different sort – as a shameful of deceit which besmirched the reputation of the BBC and caused great damage to Diana and those close to her.

The interview took place on a Sunday in 1995 at Kensington Palace, after the staff had left for the evening. The reporters and their camera gear entered Diana’s sitting room under the pretence to the staff that they were there to install a new hi-fi system.

Diana had agreed to speak with Bashir to set the record straight following speculation about her marriage to Prince Charles, which by that point had broken down. And the result was explosive.

It was during this interview that the princess said ‘there were three of us in the marriage, so it was a bit crowded’ – a reference to Charles’s affair with his now wife, Queen Camilla.

She spoke of her early expectations of life with Prince Charles and how she had ‘desperately wanted it to work’ in light of her own parents’ divorce.

Diana also opened up about the health issues she’d silently faced, which included bulimia, post-partum depression, and self-harm, leading to her being labelled by others as unstable and mentally unbalanced.

‘It was a symptom of what was going on in my marriage,’ Diana revealed on Panorama. ‘I was crying out for help, but giving the wrong signals.’

As well as admitting to her own extramarital affairs, Diana also suggested that Charles might not be cut out for the throne.

‘I would think that the top job, as I call it, would bring enormous limitations to him, and I don’t know whether he could adapt to that,’ she said of her ex-husband.

As for whether Diana saw herself as one day being Queen, she said: ‘No, I don’t, no.

‘I’d like to be a queen of people’s hearts, in people’s hearts, but I don’t see myself being Queen of this country. I don’t think many people will want me to be Queen,’ the then-35-year-old added.

‘Because I do things differently because I don’t go by a rule book, because I lead from the heart, not the head, and albeit that’s got me into trouble in my work, I understand that. But someone’s got to go out there and love people and show it.’

Diana felt that the royal household saw her as a ‘threat of some kind’ but that ‘every strong woman in history has had to walk down a similar path’.

The 54-minute interview was the final nail in the Wales’ marriage, and less than a month later, divorce papers were filed upon the Queen’s advice.

Her revelations came after Jonathan Dimbleby‘s interview where Charles admitted his adultery and she didn’t shy away from hard-hitting questions about her time as a royal.

Its controversial nature ensured that a very small team in the BBC knew of it, and the decision was taken not to tell BBC Chairman Marmaduke Hussey what was afoot, as his wife, Lady Susan Hussey, was close to the Queen.

According to Diana’s close friend Debbie Frank, the princess admitted her regret about speaking to Bashir in a frantic call  24 hours before the interview aired.

She made the call despite realising it was too late to stop the interview being aired, said Debbie, who added that the princess only calmed down when she saw polls that showed the public had reacted well to it.

Debbie told the Sunday People: ‘She called me the day before it aired and said, “I’ve done this big thing and I hope it’s the right thing and doesn’t create too many waves. I needed to tell my story – it’s time people heard the truth”.

‘She sounded quite breathy and in a highly charged state. She was worried the public might turn against her and that she had said the wrong thing.’

But while the Panorama interview allowed Diana public support as she stepped into the world as an independent woman, it shook with the tragedies necessitating its existence.

Twenty-five years after Diana’s interview first aired, it emerged that Martin Bashir had secured his interview with the princess by falsifying documents.

In 2021 the official The Dyson report, found that ‘Bashir seriously breached BBC rules by mocking up fake bank statements to gain access to the princess,’ via the BBC.

Understandably aghast, Diana’s brother Earl Spencer was said to believed his vulnerable sister had been trapped in a web of lies by Bashir who had established ‘coercive control’ over her.

In his inquiry, Lord Dyson found that Bashir deceived Earl Spencer into introducing the journalist to his sister by showing him forged bank statements that falsely suggested individuals were being paid to keep the Princess under surveillance.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton also said Bashir told Diana the security forces were planning to kill her. He said Bashir warned her: ‘They’re going to wipe you.’

It was also alleged that Diana was shown a ‘faked abortion “receipt”‘ which suggested Charles had been romantically involved with one of the royal nannies.

Bashir admitted at the time to having the documents forged but denied ever showing them to anybody.

The report slammed BBC bosses, including former director-general Tony Hall, for covering up information on how Bashir was able to secure the interview.

In 2021, the Prince of Wales hit out at Bashir’s shocking tactics to obtain his exclusive with his late mother.

The inquiry plunged the Corporation into one of the worst crises in its history, with Diana’s two sons William and Harry accusing it of ruining their mother’s life with its ‘deceitful’ interview and helping to bring about the tragic chain of events that led to her death two years later.

In a televised statement, William railed: ‘This Panorama programme holds no legitimacy and should never be aired again. It effectively established a false narrative which, for over a quarter of a century, has been commercialised by the BBC and others.’

‘Our mother was an incredible woman who dedicated her life to service. She was resilient, brave, and unquestionably honest,’ Prince Harry added. ‘The ripple effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices ultimately took her life.’

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also criticised for using elements of the interview in their explosive Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, which aired last November.

Midway through the first episode of the series, clips are shown of Princess Diana speaking to the journalist.

Sources close to Prince of Wales at the time said he would have been ‘furious’ that his brother appeared to ignore his plea that the Panorama interview never be aired again.

‘Sadly once more it shows the gulf between the two brothers couldn’t be wider,’ one told the Mirror.

Before the clip is shown, Harry, speaking about his mother’s struggles with press intrusion, says: ‘I think she had a lived experience of how she was struggling living that life. She felt compelled to talk about it.

‘Especially in that Panorama interview. I think we all now know that she was deceived into giving the interview. But at the same time she spoke the truth of her experience.’

Both brothers received ‘unconditional apology’ letters from the BBC over Bashir’s conduct and the 25-year cover up.

Your average Christmas card might cost a few pounds, but if you happen to own one signed by Princess Diana then you’re sitting on a goldmine.

Two cards she sent to her godson Prince Philippos in 1989 have just sold at a Cirencester auction for £900.

But how they went under the hammer is a mystery as those close to London-born Philippos, 37, the youngest child of the last king of Greece, Constantine II, tell me he had nothing to do with the sale.

Jets turn Jess into a mess

Her hit song Hold My Hand has been the soundtrack to Jet2’s TV adverts for years, but singer Jess Glynne, right, admits she’s never taken a flight with the budget airline.

Kim Kardashian was one of the many stars to shine at the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala on Saturday in Los Angeles.

On this night the always fashionable reality star, 44, came decked out in a plunging white gown that she accessorized with an antique amethyst piece once worn by the late royal Princess Diana at a 1987 charity event.

Her striking white number showcased her ample cleavage, with the large jewelry piece providing some contrast.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum also donned a pearl choker that resembles another jewelry piece of Diana’s, according to WWD.

The multi-media superstar would add an ivory coat to the ensemble, which she wore off-the-shoulder.

Rounding out her overall look for the event, Kardashian had her dark tresses in a sleek bob with a part off to the left, while her makeup consisted of winged eyeliner, brown eyeshadow and a nude lip.

The mother of four purchased the Attallah Cross at a Sotheby’s auction just last year for $197,453, which is double of the pre-auction estimate.

Named for its previous owner, Naim Attallah, the Palestinian-British businessman lent the amethyst and diamond piece to Diana throughout the 1980s.

Diana, Princess Of Wales, is pictured wearing the pendant on a string of pearls when she attended the 1987 Birthright charity gala, where she donned a purple velvet Catherine Walker gown.

The Attallah Cross was originally made by Garrand in the 1920s, and features square-cut amethysts surrounded by 5.25 carats of circular-cut diamonds.

As for Kardashian’s chunky pearl choker that resembled another piece of Diana’s, the eleven-strand necklace was also adorned with rubies and diamonds.

Featuring 900 pearls, the late Princess Of Wales wore it at several events, including film and theater premieres over the years.

Princess Diana (born Diana Frances Spencer), whose activism and glamour helped make her an international icon with seemingly enduring popularity, was just 36 when she was died in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, France while her driver was fleeing the paparazzi on August 31, 1997.

Notables from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries gathered for the LACMA for 13th annual Art+Film Gala, which was sponsored by Gucci.

It supports the museum’s curatorial programming, exhibitions, acquisitions and more programs that explore the intersection of art and film.

This year’s event honored Elvis writer and director Baz Luhrmann and sculptor Simone Leigh, while LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio served as co-chair of the event for the 13th consecutive year.

Proceeds from the annual Art+Film Gala go toward underwriting LACMA’s initiative to make film more central to the museum’s curatorial programming, while also funding LACMA’s broader mission. This includes exhibitions, acquisitions, and educational programming, in addition to screenings that explore the intersection of art and film.

These are the kinds of moments that will make you smile and feel good.

Diana and her children visited Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands in 1990, together with her sister’s children. The island was owned by Richard Branson of Virgin.

Diana knows how to have a good time. Look at this lovely photo of her and Harry visiting the amusement park Thorpe Park in 1992.

Diana was dubbed “The People’s Princess” by many. She was involved in numerous humanitarian endeavors, offering a good example of how a kind and loving person should act.

Princess Diana is shown here visiting an Orthopedic workshop in Luanda, Angola, and sitting with land mine victims.

We could go on and on about Diana’s wonderful photographs. This one was taken in 1971, while she was on vacation in Itchenor, West Sussex.

Meanwhile, this one was taken outside Diana’s flat in Coleherne Court, London, before to her engagement to Charles.

Harry is pictured here sticking out his tongue to the crowd gathering around Buckingham Palace. Diana seemed to be taken aback.

Barbour is still a popular royal apparel brand, although Princess Diana may have worn it best.

Diana adored Barbour, and her journey to the Outer Hebrides in Scotland in 985 was the ideal occasion to wear her Barbour-style waxed cotton jacket.

Jayne Fincher, a royal photographer who captured some of Princess Diana’s most memorable images, trailed the royal couple everywhere they went. She’d rented a jet to travel to the Outer Hebrides, where Charles and Diana were on official business.

“When I caught up,” says Fincher, “Charles said, ‘Where have you been?’”

The Outer Hebrides are subject to extremes of wind and rain, which Princess Diana experienced during her visit there in 1985.But she looks great in the images from the trip, and photographer Jayne noticed something after going over the negatives.

“You don’t see Diana dressed like that very often. She looked so happy. It was pouring rain, but her makeup was perfect and un-smudged. I looked a mess, as usual,” she said.

The photo below was taken during Diana’s last summer alive. She is seen with her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed on a boat in St. Tropez, France, jumping into the water.

Diana will be remembered as a truly great and loving human being.

Victoria Beckham is said to be ‘devastated’ and ‘petrified’ after her son Cruz Beckham was accused of cheating on two women, with the former Spice Girl fearing for her sons’ reputation.

Victoria Beckham is reportedly in turmoil over her son Cruz Beckham’s romantic involvements, which have cast a shadow on the family’s public image.

The younger Beckham has been embroiled in controversy after allegations of infidelity surfaced from two women, 21 year old Bby Ivy (real name Viktoria Reitan) and 19 year old Issey Moloney, who took to TikTok to air their complaints about David and Victoria Beckham’s youngest son, leaving the fashion icon “devastated”, a source close to the ex-Spice Girl revealed.

Meanwhile, Romeo Beckham, at 22, is back on the dating scene, using apps to find love following his breakup with Mia Regan.

However, he too has raised eyebrows after being spotted with Amelia Gray Hamlin and shortly thereafter with model Sophie Julia, fuelling rumours of potential infidelity.

An insider confided to Heat Magazine: “Vic was devastated when she heard the cheating claims.”

Victoria is holding onto hope that the accusations are unfounded, but can’t help but fear there might be some truth to them, the source explained, reports the Mirror.

The informant also noted that the gossip surrounding Cruz’s alleged unfaithfulness has deeply affected the style icon: “The thought of any of her sons being a cheat makes her feel sick to her stomach”, especially as she has instilled in them the utmost respect for women.

Victoria Beckham is reportedly “petrified” over how the swirling rumours might tarnish her sons’ reputations, fearing they could be branded as womanisers.

A source revealed: “Vic has worked so hard to bring her sons up to respect women, so seeing them portrayed as players is really upsetting for her, and she’s petrified that the boys are going to be labelled as Lotharios.”

The cheating allegations surrounding her sons have hit a nerve, especially since Victoria herself has had to deal with infidelity gossip about her husband, David Beckham, in the past.

The spotlight intensified after Cruz Beckham was seen cosying up to German-Brazilian songstress Jackie Apostel at Paris Fashion Week, sparking chatter about their age-gap relationship.

Previously, Cruz openly confessed his admiration for pop sensation Billie Eilish, even boldly asking her out through an i-D magazine interview in 2022, saying: “I’m really into Billie Eilish. I love her music, I love her style. And I’d love to take her on a date. So Billie, you know where I’m at.”

Meanwhile, Romeo Beckham’s romance with Sophie Julia seems to be going strong, with the pair spotted enjoying a posh London outing in September, 2024.

Representatives for Victoria Beckham have been approached by Express Online for a statement.

David Beckham has left his fans in a frenzy after posting a topless selfie of himself on Instagram. The 49 year old shared a number of snaps with his 88 million followers, including a picture of him about to enter a sauna.

The father of four took to social media to show what he gets up to in his spare time, including farm activities, walking his dogs in the countryside and using a sauna in his garden.

He simply captioned the post with: “Country life,” with emojis of chickens, dogs and a love heart. Many fans found the photos wholesome, but some couldn’t help but react to the topless selfie he took.

One fan reacted with a comment saying: “David ! Do you have some place for me in the farm? I like that way of life.” A second commented: “Hello Mr. Beckham,” with a fire emoji.

A third person typed: “Looking good Becks!” as another fan also waded in saying: “You are the handsomest farmer i have seen!”

Despite tying the knot 25 years ago, Victoria Beckham and her husband David Beckham are still head over heels for each other.

In the past, Victoria was renowned for her frank revelations about their private life, often referring to the former professional footballer as “Golden Balls”.

The 50-year-old once disclosed that their initial marital home, a vast Hertfordshire estate they dubbed Beckingham Palace, boasted a rather racy mirror on the ceiling.

“There’s a room like a tart’s boudoir, with leopard print everywhere and a mirrored ceiling,” the fashion designer admitted. “Then there’s our bedroom, which is quite virginal and white, with a big four-poster, old-oak bed.”

As for what transpires in that bed, Victoria insinuated that she favours intimacy over sleep when it comes to spending quality time with her husband.

The mum-of-four previously told Allure: “I’m getting into bed with David Beckham every night, so, you know, there’d be something wrong if I said, ‘sleep’.

“I tend to wear nothing,” she added. “But David bought me these little sets from Agent Provocateur..” Back in 2008, David, 49, starred in a sultry 2008 Emporio Armani underwear advert, with some proposing he may have had some help in the bulge department.

Despite this, Victoria couldn’t help but express her pride and amusement at seeing her husband’s manhood magnified on billboards, stating with a chuckle: “His penis 25ft tall. It’s huge. It’s enormous. Massive. If I looked like that I’d walk down the streets in my panties too.”

The former Spice Girl didn’t hold back in defending her husband’s honour, comparing David’s impressive asset to “a tractor exhaust pipe.” Her admiration was evident as she continued to heap praise on their intimate life: “I’m proud I still have a really good sex life with David. He is very much in proportion,” she said cheerfully.

Clearly amused, Victoria continued to boast about David’s generous endowment: “He does have a huge one, though. He does. You can see it in the advert. It is all his. It is like a tractor exhaust pipe.”

When asked about the topic during an interview with Elle magazine, the former England captain playfully avoided the question, saying: “No comment! I agree with everything my wife says.”

In a playful admission on The View, Victoria opened up about her bustling life juggling family and work, assuring there’s no cause for concern when it comes to their bedroom antics. “Obviously he’s incredibly good looking,” she shared with a smile.

She didn’t stop there, lavishing praise on her husband: “But David is the most wonderful husband and fantastic father, a real inspiration to all of us. He’s hard-working. ‘I’m lucky to have him as my soulmate.”
