    David Beckham sold his car collection to focus his finances on recruiting players (video)

    “Bend it like Beckham” has been a popular phrase in pop culture worldwide.

    Over the years, the David Beckham has carved his legacy in fashion and beauty.

    He has managed to stay in the spotlight with his affluent lifestyle which includes cars. So how insane is his car collection? Let’s talk about David Beckham car collection.

    David Beckham car collection – Jaguar F-Type Project 7

    Starting off the list with the 2015 Jaguar F-type Project 7 finished in black. According to reports, Beckham purchased the car as a Christmas gift.

    Also, the F-type Project 7 was a limited edition car with only 250 units ever made. This car comes with a 5.0-litre V8 engine that can do the 0 to 100 kmph sprint in just 3.8 seconds.

    In all the flamboyant, Beckham does love speed and that is why he has the Gallardo in his garage. Beckham bought the car in 2006, just as Lamboringhi launched the Gallardo to replace the Murcielago. This 2006 model comes with a V10 engine that can do the 0 to 100 kmph sprint in just 4.3 seconds.

    David Beckham car collection – Maserati MC20

    Maserati cars are known for their finesse and that is why they had roped in David Beckham to design a car. As a token of appreciation, Maserati presented a new MC20 to Beckham. Reportedly, Beckham personally did a lot of design tweaks on this car. Considering all this, the car is a one-off. Power-wise, the MC20 comes with a 3.0-litre twin turbo V6 engine and can do the 0-100 kmph sprint in just 2.8 seconds.

    McLaren MP4-12C Spider

    The McLaren MP4-12C Spider was a ground-breaking car when launched in 2013 as it comes with Forumla one tech inside it. These details surely must have enticed Beckham as he bought the car in black colour. Due to the limited models made the MP4-12C Spider is worth a lot now in the second-hand market. Under the hood, the MP4-12C Spider comes with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and can do the 0-100 kmph sprint in just 3.3 seconds.

    Aston Martin V8 Vantage

    The Next car on the list is a classic i.e. the V8 Vantage. The price of the car has skyrocketed now due to its limited availability and classic looks. Beckham has been spotted driving the car several times with his wife. Under the hood, the V8 Vantage comes with a 5.3-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine. According to claims, the V8 Vantage can do the 0 to 100 kmph sprint in 5.1 seconds, which was certainly a big thing in 1988.

    Bentley Continental GT Supersports

    Another special car on the list is the Continental GT Supersports. It is a special car as it was gifted by Beckham’s wife Victoria to cheer him from defeat. We all would love such gifts, wouldn’t we? The one owned by Beckham comes with a 6.0-litre turbocharged W12 engine. With this engine, the car can do the 0 to 100 kmph sprint in just 3.7 seconds.

    McLaren 720S

    Mclaren 720S is the footballer’s most recent purchase. According to reports, it replaces the earlier mentioned MP4-12C Spider. Beckham’s 720S comes with a custom-painted shiny silver colour, which would have been a hefty upgrade. The 720S comes with a 4.0-litre V8 engine under the hood and can do the 0 to 100 kmph sprint in just 2.8 seconds.

    David Beckham car collection – Bentley Mulsanne

    Beckham was one of the first buyers of the Mulsanne. Bentley had launched the Mulsanne to replace the Arnage in its lineup. Though Beckham loves to drive, he prefers to be chauffeur-driven in the Mulsanne. The Mulsanne comes with a 6.75-litre V8 engine under the hood. Bentley claims that the Mulsanne can do the 0 to 100 kmph sprint in just 4.8 seconds.

    Rolls-Royce Ghost

    David Beckham loves driving fancy sedans, and the Ghost is one of them. Beckham’s Rolls Royce Ghost is customised according to his style needs with an all-black colour and fancy alloy wheels. The car is powered by a 6.5-litre V12 turbocharged engine that can take the car from 0 to 100 kmph in 4.7 seconds. Electronically, the car speed has been limited to 250 kmph.

    Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

    The Phantom Drophead coupe is the most expensive car in the footballer’s collection. The car just starts from Rs 4 crore and the car has been customised by Beckham to suit his fashion sense. Beckham has been spotted driving the car a fair few times with an open hood. Under the hood, the car comes with a 6.75-litre V12 engine and can do the 0 to 100 kmph sprint in 5.6 seconds.

    David Beckham car collection – Past cars

    Beckham has also had other cars over his long illustrious career. His first car was a Volkswagen Golf, quite a humble offering compared to his current garage. He sold this car to raise money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital. The footballer’s first supercar was the Porsche 911 Carerra. Other Porsche cars included 911 turbo and 911. He has also owned a Jaguar XJ. Some of his most valued past cars were a Ferrari 360 Spider, a Ferrari 550 Maranello, and a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

    Brace yourselves, football fans, Inter Miami CF is coming to Hong Kong.

    Tatler Asia has partnered with David Beckham, president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF,

    and Inter Miami CF to bring a star-studded football line-up to Asia’s World City for a special exhibition XFEST match on Sunday, February 4, 2024.

    Not only will this game be a part of his team’s first-ever global tour, but it is also a part of our inaugural Tatler XFEST.

    The team, which will be headed by eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi and include legendary players such as Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets,

    will play against a specially invited Hong Kong Team. Not only is this a very exciting collaboration,

    it is also an undeniable indication that Hong Kong is ready to reclaim its place as a world class destination.

    “Hong Kong has such a great sports scene,” says Beckham. “In partnership with Tatler, we are pleased to be able to bring the team to this fantastic city as part of Inter Miami CF’s debut game in Asia.”

    For Tatler Asia, this also spotlights our new brand experience Tatler XFEST, which will be launched on February 1, 2024.

    “We are delighted to collaborate with David and Inter Miami CF to bring this remarkable match to Hong Kong,” says Michel Lamunière, CEO and chairman of Tatler Asia, and that “Tatler XFEST is more than just a football game; it’s a celebration of the best of Hong Kong through a combination of city-wide sporting, lifestyle and luxury experiences. We envision Tatler XFEST as an annual extravaganza, set to become the city’s most anticipated event of the year.

    “In recent years, Tatler has expanded its event operations in response to growing interest in sports, lifestyle and luxury experiences,” Lamunière explains. “Our increasing involvement in high-profile international sporting events symbolises Tatler’s ongoing evolution as a luxury platform creating exclusive content and unforgettable experiences. We aim to deliver these experiences while bolstering Hong Kong’s reputation as a city known for its excellence in hosting such events.”

    What Tatler Asia and Inter Miami CF have in common is a shared borderless ambition and potential. Just as Inter Miami CF has captured headlines all over the world, Tatler has captured the essence of the Best of Asia. From inspirational visionaries and innovative pioneers to compassionate philanthropists and iconic style leaders, Tatler has built a community as diverse, tight-knit and impactful as a legendary football team—a community that has shown it is ready for elevated experiences that showcase Hong Kong as an unmatched international sports and events destination.

    The future of Tatler XFEST is exhilarating, as we continue to bring to the forefront events and collaborations that will cement the Fragrant Harbour as host of such exclusive and meaningful experiences. And this Inter Miami CF vs Hong Kong Team XFEST football game is just the start.

    “We’re thrilled to be able to bring our team to new markets like this one in 2024,” says Xavier Asensi, the chief business officer of Inter Miami CF. “I spent several years living and working in Hong Kong, so I am familiar with the incredible culture and the deep passion for football. We are looking forward to bringing Inter Miami CF to play in front of these special fans.”

    Similarly, Eric Fok—the chairman of The Football Association of Hong Kong, China (HKFA)—is ready to warmly welcome Inter Miami CF to the city, and says that “HKFA is committed to raising the standard of football and bringing new experiences to the local fans. We will continue to bring more world class football teams to play in the city and further establish Hong Kong as a regional hub for mega sporting events.”

    EXCLUSIVE: Harry and Meghan branded ‘ruthless’ as they ‘ignore royal protocol’

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been branded ‘ruthless’ by a royal commentator, who has slammed the couple for ‘ignoring royal protocol’ on several occasions

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded as “ruthless” as they “ignore royal protocol”, by a royal commentator.

    According to Richard Fitzwilliams, who recently spoke exclusively to The Mirror, “the Sussexes were always ruthless in disregarding events in the diaries of other members of the royal family, ignoring protocol which was they didn’t clash”.

    He added: “An example was the release of a trailer for their Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan which coincided with the Cambridge’s trip to the United States for the Earthshot Prize in 2022.” With his comments coming after Meghan’s new brand, American Riviera Orchard, seemingly unveiled two new products on the day of Trooping the Colour over the weekend.

    Saturday marked Trooping the Colour, which is an important annual event where the Royal Family came together to mark The King’s official birthday with the Birthday Parade. And on the morning of Trooping the Colour, which also marked Princess Kate’s first public appearance since starting cancer treatment, some new American Riviera Orchard products emerged online.

    Harry’s pal since 2007, Nacho Figueras, who is a polo player, took to social media mere hours before Trooping the Colour took place on Saturday to share that he had been sent some American Riveria Orchard produce. The polo player displayed a jar of raspberry jam and a jar of dog biscuits.

    Mr Fitzwilliams commented on this move further when he added: “Apparently two more products, raspberry jam and dog biscuits, have just been launched. To do this on the same day as Trooping the Colour shows a very naive approach to marketing as they know journalists keep an eye on what they do.”

    He added: “Nacho Figueras, Harry’s polo-playing friend, posted that he’d received jam and dog biscuits and posted photos. Whereas cynics might say the raspberry sums up the Sussexes destructive attitude to the royal family rather well, on the jar it said two of two. If she wants her brand to succeed, Meghan better be more adventurous than this!”

  • EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry ‘hunting for secluded Georgian house near King Charles at Highgrove’ Prince Harry hasn’t had a home in the UK since he was evicted from Frogmore Cottage but now the Duke of Sussex could be looking for a new house with Meghan Markle near to his family, a royal expert says   Prince Harry has been house hunting near Highgrove after being evicted from Frogmore Cottage, a royal expert says NEWS ELECTION 2024 EUROS CELEBS TV SHOPPING ROYALS ByJessica GibbDeputy Showbiz EditorAyeesha WalshShowbiz & TV Reporter 13:33, 19 Jun 2024UPDATED15:59, 19 JUN 2024 | 112 | BOOKMARK Prince Harry has been hunting for a “secluded Georgian house” close to his father’s Highgrove estate, a royal expert has said.  After several reports that King Charles III wants to spend more time with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, speculation has been rife that the Duke Of Sussex has been house hunting in the UK. Now Royal author and expert Tom Quinn has said that Harry could be set to introduce a new UK base into his family’s life.  But the move could be far more complex than hoped with Harry having to weigh up his options carefully. Talking exclusively to Mirror.co.uk Tom said: “Harry has spent a lot of time trying to work out what sort of UK base he might have. He has no experience of living in anything other than well protected houses that are also well away from the public, so he has a huge problem. Every house he looks at has drawbacks. ”  For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US.  READ MORE: Harry and Meghan branded ‘ruthless’ as they ‘ignore royal protocol’  Prince Harry Harry could be set to spend more time in the UK ( Image: Getty Images) Quinn also highlighted how Harry will be struggling to find anything that offers the same level of privacy that he and wife Meghan Markle had at Frogmore Cottage. He continued: “Apart from the security risks Harry has become increasingly obsessed with his privacy and wants to be well away from prying eyes – that was the key reason he was so upset and angry when his father King Charles evicted him from Frogmore Cottage.  “Frogmore is actually a substantial house deep in the grounds of the royal estate at Windsor – it’s also very secure and it would have been perfect. It never occurred to Harry that giving up being a working royal meant giving up the house, but then Harry has always been nothing if not naïve.”  Prince Harry Highgrove is King Charles’ countryside escape ( Image: Getty Images) Quinn then said how Harry is hoping to replicate the kind of property his father has with Highgrove. He said: “With no chance of returning to any of the houses in the gift of his family, Harry has looked at buying the kind of secluded Georgian house in its own grounds that his father has at Highgrove in Gloucestershire.”  However, Tom believes one major spanner in the works for Harry could be the cost of security in the UK, but the benefits for his children could outweigh that drawback. He said: “The fly in the ointment is the fact that Harry doesn’t want to pay for security and he is convinced that a great deal of security would be necessary even if the house was close to his father’s home. On the other hand, the idea of buying a house close to his father means he will be able to come to the UK for short periods with his children so they can have some kind of a relationship with their cousins and their grandfather.”

On the other hand, the idea of buying a house close to his father means he will be able to come to the UK for short periods with his children so they can have some kind of a relationship with their cousins and their grandfather.”

    EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry ‘hunting for secluded Georgian house near King Charles at Highgrove’

    Prince Harry hasn’t had a home in the UK since he was evicted from Frogmore Cottage but now the Duke of Sussex could be looking for a new house with Meghan Markle near to his family, a royal expert says

    Prince Harry has been hunting for a “secluded Georgian house” close to his father’s Highgrove estate, a royal expert has said.

    After several reports that King Charles III wants to spend more time with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, speculation has been rife that the Duke Of Sussex has been house hunting in the UK. Now Royal author and expert Tom Quinn has said that Harry could be set to introduce a new UK base into his family’s life.

    But the move could be far more complex than hoped with Harry having to weigh up his options carefully. Talking exclusively to Mirror.co.uk Tom said: “Harry has spent a lot of time trying to work out what sort of UK base he might have. He has no experience of living in anything other than well protected houses that are also well away from the public, so he has a huge problem. Every house he looks at has drawbacks.

    Quinn also highlighted how Harry will be struggling to find anything that offers the same level of privacy that he and wife Meghan Markle had at Frogmore Cottage. He continued: “Apart from the security risks Harry has become increasingly obsessed with his privacy and wants to be well away from prying eyes – that was the key reason he was so upset and angry when his father King Charles evicted him from Frogmore Cottage.

    “Frogmore is actually a substantial house deep in the grounds of the royal estate at Windsor – it’s also very secure and it would have been perfect. It never occurred to Harry that giving up being a working royal meant giving up the house, but then Harry has always been nothing if not naïve.”

    Quinn then said how Harry is hoping to replicate the kind of property his father has with Highgrove. He said: “With no chance of returning to any of the houses in the gift of his family, Harry has looked at buying the kind of secluded Georgian house in its own grounds that his father has at Highgrove in Gloucestershire.”

    However, Tom believes one major spanner in the works for Harry could be the cost of security in the UK, but the benefits for his children could outweigh that drawback. He said: “The fly in the ointment is the fact that Harry doesn’t want to pay for security and he is convinced that a great deal of security would be necessary even if the house was close to his father’s home. On the other hand, the idea of buying a house close to his father means he will be able to come to the UK for short periods with his children so they can have some kind of a relationship with their cousins and their grandfather.”

    Charlotte looked spookily similar to one of her relatives

    PRINCESS Charlotte looked more grown up than ever as she joined her family for Trooping of the Colour.

    And while she bore a strong resemblance to both her parents, royal fans were quick to point out the spooky resemblance between the young princess and another family member.

    Taking to Twitter, royal superfan Prie shared a side by side snap of Charlotte, 9, and her late grandmother Princess Diana.

    Captioning the snap she wrote: “Princess Diana lives on in her granddaughter 🤍

    “Princess Charlotte’s photograph from Trooping The Colour reminded me of her granny, Princess Diana.

    “They both have the same mannerism, smile, and stare.”

    She accompanied the post with a photo of Charlotte riding in the glass carriage yesterday and Diana also in a carriage as she attended the opening of parliament in 1982.

    The tweet has since gone viral, receiving hundreds of replies from fellow royalists with many agreeing the images have given them ‘chills.’

    Responding, one wrote: “Spencer genes are strong with this one.”

    “That’s some really strong genes shining through…wow!” another added.

    Meanwhile a third wrote: “Oh my …This gives me the chills! Extraordinary!”

    Thousands of fans lined the streets yesterday to catch a glimpse of the Royal Family – including Kate who has made a comeback after her cancer diagnosis.
    Adorable moment Charlotte tells Louis to ‘stop’ as he dances along to music
    She beamed on Saturday as she made her first public appearance in months with doting husband Prince William and their kids at her side.

    Kate looked stunning dressed in white as she laughed and chatted away to her family.

    The Waleses engaged, waved and smiled at adoring fans during their journey.

    It was the first time the Princess had headed along to a royal event since Christmas and she had a smile ear-to-ear.

    In the carriage on the way, George, 10, appeared eager to catch his mum’s attention, telling her: “Look over there ma.”

    Lip reader Gaby Lane told The Sun Kate and William’s eldest “looked so happy” as the family waved and smiled at fans during the procession.

    In full mum-mode, brave Kate was desperate to show her three youngsters all of fans’ loving banners and flags.

    She told George, Charlotte and Louis: “Right, look at that,” before turning her head in unison with her kids.

    King Charles also beamed from his carriage with Queen Camilla by his side.

    As the showers appeared to dry up over London, he told Camilla: “It’s brightening up.”

    What is Trooping the Colour?

    Trooping the Colour or ‘The King’s Birthday Parade’ is a military ceremony which dates back to the early eighteenth century or earlier, when the colours (flags) of the battalion were carried (or ‘trooped’) down the ranks so that they could be seen and recognised by the soldiers. Since 1748, this parade has also marked the Sovereign’s official birthday.

    The honour to Troop their Colour rotates through the five regiments of Foot Guards, and this year it lies with Number 9 Company Irish Guards. The Irish Guards were raised by Queen Victoria in 1900 and have provided almost 125 years of service to the nation.

    This year marks the second Trooping the Colour of His Majesty’s reign. The King attended his first Trooping the Colour in 1951, aged three, riding in a carriage with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and aunt, Princess Margaret. The King first rode in the parade as Colonel of the Welsh Guards in 1975

    A cute Prince Louis was also snapped pulling faces from inside the carriage as he made mum Princess Kate and his siblings laugh.

    And his antics didn’t stop once he arrived at the palace.

    Louis tried opening a window and fiddled with curtain cords on a balcony next to loving mum Kate.

    Crowds erupted this afternoon as Princess Kate stepped onto the balcony with Wills and her kids at her side.

    The day had been plagued by rain but downpours couldn’t dampen Kate’s shine today as she beamed alongside her family.

    Fans watched on in awe as the Princess joked and laughed with her children.

    MILLIONS watched as Kate Middleton joined the royal family at Trooping the Colour on Saturday – and even Gwyneth Paltrow weighed in on her triumphant return.

    The Iron Man actress commented on an official photo of the Princess of Wales on Instagram saying “So happy to see you looking so happy and well.”

    The unexpected message showed support for the Princess of Wales and could show she is “taking sides” with the royal family, according to a royal author.

    Previously, Goop-creator Gwyneth appeared to be getting close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as they were spotted leaving a Michelin-star sushi restaurant in Montecito in May 2023.

    However, the relationship appears to have cooled off, according to Closer Magazine.

    They claimed: “The actress-turned-entrepreneur [Meghan] was excluded from the intimate Goop dinner – held at her Montecito home last month.”

    Royal author Phil Dampier told Fabulous: “Gwyneth Paltrow is the latest celebrity who seems to be taking sides in the Wales v Sussex standoff.

    “Meghan is said to have based her new lifestyle project American Riviera Orchard on the actress’s own products and she admires her greatly so this will hurt.

    “Gwyneth didn’t have to make any comment about Kate being at Trooping the Colour but the fact she has means she fully supports her, and like the rest of us, wants her to make a speedy recovery.”

    Phil added: “It comes after other well known people like David Beckham, who was once friendly with Harry and Meghan, have very much pinned their colours to the royal mast.”

    A number of A-listers are said to have now “dropped” the Sussexes in recent months, from the Beckhams to Oprah and Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.

    The royal author continued: “They have realised that William and Kate are the true superstars and future of the monarchy, and a thousand year-old institution isn’t going to disappear any time soon.

    “Yes, the royals have their ups and downs, but they survive by adapting and because the public respects the institution, although not always the individuals.

    “In time I’m sure Harry and Meghan will realise that they made a big mistake attacking Harry’s family so much, which has alienated many who previously had time for them.”

    Kate, 42, brought joy and relief to the nation as she appeared in a carriage with her three children and on Buckingham Palace balcony with hubby Wills and the King and Queen.

    It was the first public engagement for Kate – who is still having preventative cancer treatment – since she appeared with her family at Sandringham last Christmas.

    Last week, Kensington Palace had confirmed that Kate had found comfort working from home despite her ongoing cancer struggle.

    It is expected in coming weeks she will hold more meetings with palace staff and those from the Royal Foundation and Centre for Early Childhood.

    These meetings will feature in the Court Circular which detail all official work by members of the Royal Family.

    A spokesman for the princess said the palace would only give an update on face-to-face work meetings when appropriate.

    And despite Kate announcing she hopes to “join a few public engagements over the summer”, the palace has yet to announce or confirm where she will appear next.

    The Princess of Wales delighted fans in a chic monochrome outfit as she joined her three children in a glass coach during Trooping the Colour on Saturday.

    And according to fashion commentator Amber Graafland, the royal, who coordinated with her children’s navy and white outfits, is the “master of using her clothing to send coded messages” – and her outfit on Saturday was no exception.

    Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, she says: “With so much heartfelt concern over the Princess of Wales’ health the nation let out a collective sigh of relief when she appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the Trooping the Colour parade at the weekend.

    “It was the first public engagement since Kate shocked the world with her cancer diagnosis in March and, despite the uncertainty over the health, she was determined to put on a display of normality.

    “And of course, ‘normal’ for Kate is looking immaculate, poised and utterly perfect.”

    This nod to normality was an attempt to reassure the public that while it might not be a return to ‘business as usual’ just yet, hope is most certainly on the horizon

    Amber Graafland Fashion Commentator
    Amber goes on to say that she believes there’s no doubt that Kate’s intention was to “put her family, and the public’s minds at rest” – and that’s exactly why she believes The Princess of Wales chose to wear white.

    “White is a colour that not only symbolises new beginnings but is a signifier of hope, change and purity,” says Amber.

    “In the English language white is often used as the shorthand for good, and what we are all waiting for right now is positive news about the princess’s health.”

    The fashion pro also proceeds to point out that another reassuring message Kate’s outfit choice portrayed was “continuity.”

    Amber explains: “Instead of opting to wear something new the princess chose to wear a dress that was last seen in May 2023 during the King’s coronation weekend.

    “We know that Kate is a renowned for recycling her looks.
    ARTHUR EDWARDS Duty & family mean everything to Kate and today’s appearance proves it – her smiling face made a rainy day worthwhile
    “She often re-wears her rotation of designed looks for official engagements.

    “And Saturday was no exception.

    Meanwhile, some eagle-eyed royal fans picked up on Kate’s adorable nod to her youngest, Prince Louis.

    The Princess of Wales accessorised with a pair of pearl cluster earrings Cavolfiore Pearl Earrings from Cassandra Goad which cost a whopping £4,360.

    And for anyone who thinks they may be familiar, you’d be right… because they’re the same pair the mum-of-three wrote to Prince Louis’ christening back in 2018.

    Arrogant Prince Andrew is too pompous for his own good, there’s NO place for him in Royal Family, expert says

    ARROGANT Prince Andrew is too pompous for his own good and there’s no place for him in the Royal Family, an expert has said.

    Andrew is disgraced after paying millions to settle an abuse case brought by one of paedo billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s victims.

    King Charles has now turned up the heat on Andrew – warning life will become “uncomfortable” if he refused to quit his 30-room mansion.

    Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond predicted Andrew will never appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony again.

    Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Jennie said: “We in the media would make a huge song and dance about it.

    “I don’t think there would be jeers from the crowd – but he’s not going to come back to any kind of public role.

    “And I think that’s entirely correct. He’s always been a very arrogant man in my view.

    “I’ve met him a few times over the years and he was pompous – he said he was too honourable for his own good.

    “Well, I think he was too pompous for his own good actually. There is no place for him now among the working royals.”

    Andrew’s police protection was removed when he stepped down from public duty amid the Epstein scandal.

    The crisis shows no sign of going away after Netflix screened its hit drama Scoop detailing Andy’s ‘car crash’ Newsnight interview.

    And there is yet another depiction of his shame in an Amazon series on his downfall where Andy is played by actor Michael Sheen.

    Andrew sparked uproar by leading the family into a service for late Greek King Constantine at Windsor Castle in February in the absence of the cancer-hit King.

    But last month he was seen playing golf without a care in the world with pals in Scotland.

    The father-of-two’s finances are said to be in trouble as he can no longer work.

    It is unclear if Andrew received any major windfall from his late mother’s will when she died in September 2022.

    The late Queen helped pay Andrew’s multi-million pound out-of-court settlement to sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre.
