Bombshell allegations emerge that Queen Elizabeth knew Andrew brought prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years but did nothing—as a Church of England vicar questions if she had a "blind spot" for her favorite son. Andrew spends his final Royal Lodge days "ranting to himself" while Sarah Ferguson drowns her fears in a purpose-built bar called The Doghouse, talking about "dark forces" targeting them. The disgraced royal must now bow to his own daughters and faces demands from Congress while making outrageous staffing demands before his Sandringham exile. Sarah reportedly considers selling Diana's private letters as a "secret weapon." Meanwhile, Poppygate erupts as Meghan attends a Kardashian party without a remembrance poppy while Harry wears one, sparking fury. William reveals Charles denied his request to scale back duties during "the hardest year" and feels betrayed by the Beckham knighthood timing that stole his Earthshot thunder. Plus: the floodgates open as palace staff come forward, Hollywood declares the Sussexes "hopeless," and Kate gets BBC name controversy at Remembrance service.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Queen Elizabeth's deep affection for Prince Andrew blinded her to his flaws and shielded him from the consequences of his own arrogance. From the moment he was born, Andrew was said to be her favorite—her “darling boy”—and that sentiment became a shield he would hide behind for decades. Even as whispers of inappropriate behavior, financial improprieties, and questionable friendships grew louder, the Queen consistently stepped in to protect him. She refused to believe the worst, brushing off concerns as gossip and assuming that the monarchy's institutional authority could outlast any scandal. When the Epstein connection surfaced, she leaned into that same instinct, surrounding him with the palace's most trusted handlers and instructing courtiers to minimize the damage rather than confront the truth.But that unwavering loyalty ultimately detonated in spectacular fashion. By standing by Andrew for too long, the Queen not only undermined her own moral authority but tainted the institution she spent seventy years preserving. The infamous BBC “Newsnight” interview—Andrew's catastrophic attempt to clear his name—became a global humiliation that exposed the rot her protection had allowed to fester. In the end, she was forced to strip him of his titles and banish him from public duties, a move that must have pained her deeply. Yet the damage was done: her favoritism turned into her Achilles' heel, proving that even the most revered monarch could be undone not by enemies, but by the blindness of maternal love.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

For years, Queen Elizabeth II acted as Prince Andrew's unwavering shield against the fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Even as allegations mounted, she reportedly resisted internal and external pressure to sideline her son, allowing him to retain royal privileges, honors, and public duties long after the public tide had turned. Her personal loyalty was said to eclipse political and institutional logic—Andrew remained a fixture at Balmoral and Windsor, even as palace staff urged the Queen to distance herself. Royal insiders and biographers have described her as deeply maternal in her defense of him, believing he was being unfairly vilified and refusing to entertain discussions about exile or disownment. This protective stance allowed Andrew to delay accountability for years while the rest of the royal household absorbed the reputational damage.But by early 2022, under overwhelming public and institutional pressure, even the Queen's protection could no longer hold back the storm. She reluctantly approved the removal of Andrew's military titles, royal patronages, and the use of his HRH style—a move seen as both a last resort and a symbolic cutting of ties to preserve the monarchy. Still, until her death later that year, she continued to privately support him, hosting him at Balmoral and reportedly helping fund parts of his legal settlement with Virginia Giuffre. It was the ultimate act of maternal loyalty—protecting her son from disgrace even as the monarchy fought to survive the wreckage his scandals had created.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

De BBC verkeert in zwaar weer. Een verkeerd gemonteerd citaat in een documentaire over Donald Trump en de bestorming van het Capitool, uitgezonden voor de afgelopen presidentsverkiezingen in november, ligt aan de basis van een razendsnel uitdijende crisis bij de omroep. Directeur Generaal Tim Davie en BBC News-hoofdredacteur Deborah Turness zijn opgestapt. Donald Trump dreigt de BBC aan te klagen voor 1 miljard dollar, en rechtse Britse kranten en politici duiken gretig op het schandaal. The Telegraph, waar deze rel onstond nadat een memo van een voormalig extern adviseur van de BBC naar de krant werd gelekt, schrijft dat deze crisis het einde van de BBC kan betekenen. Ook in deze aflevering Tegelijkertijd met deze existentiële dreiging kan de vlag uit bij de BBC voor het ongekende succes van The Celebrity Traitors. De serie haalde ongekend hoge kijkcijfers, en weet zelfs de jongere doelgroep weer achter de televisie te krijgen. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee.

Lukáš Dolanský is a well-known journalist who until this year served as Czech Television's correspondent in the United Kingdom. Dolanský underwent something of a baptism of fire in the posting, arriving just days before the news broke of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. That's among many stories Dolanský recounts, and insights he shares, in a new book, The Colours of My London.  

In 1592, Queen Elizabeth's favorite, Sir Walter Raleigh, and her maid of honour, Bess Throckmorton, were sent to the Tower - not for treason, but for love. Their secret marriage scandalized the court and cost them everything. This is the story of their forbidden romance, their fall from favor, and the loyalty that lasted long after the Queen's anger cooled. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Queen Elizabeth's legacy is complicated — not one of villainy, but of restraint taken too far. She wasn't blind to the troubles surrounding her son or the company he kept. Decades on the throne, surrounded by intelligence briefings and advisors, make ignorance impossible. But her instincts, shaped by a lifetime of protecting the monarchy, led her to do what she'd always done: contain the damage, preserve the Crown, and keep the family's troubles behind palace walls. It wasn't malice — it was control. Yet that control, in moments like these, came at the cost of transparency and trust.She wasn't responsible for the crimes of others, but she bore responsibility for how the institution responded. Her silence  was a reflex born of a system that prizes dignity over honesty. And while that may have once seemed noble, the world changed, and silence began to look like complicity. In the end, she'll be remembered as both the monarch who held her nation together through eras of upheaval and the one who held too tightly when truth demanded release.

The only glimmer of hope is the news that Buckingham's army was dispersed by floods and he was taken prisoner. Richard tells Stanley to muster men but to leave behind his son, George, so he can be sure of Stanley's loyalty. Stanley secretly sends word to Richmond that he will come to his aid once he secures his son's safety. Richmond rallies her army outside a “A Bus Named Larry” as Richard spends the night in an empty warehouse. Both leaders sleep and dream in their separate camps.

Palace Intrigue delivers the most disturbing royal collapse yet as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor spends his final Royal Lodge days "padding around and ranting and muttering" to himself while Sarah Ferguson takes refuge in a secret bar called "The Doghouse" behind the mansion, confiding fears about being "targeted" due to Epstein links. Insiders reveal the separated couple sleep "at different ends of the thirty-room home" and only meet at mealtimes for "intense conversations" about their uncertain futures.Fergie has become "massively on edge," warning staff about "dark forces potentially targeting him" and leaning on loyal employees to "stay late to keep her company" as she drowns her fears in The Doghouse. Meanwhile, Church of England vicar drops bombshell questioning if Queen Elizabeth was "ignorant" of Andrew's alleged misconduct or had a "blind spot" toward her "favourite child," demanding equal scrutiny of the late monarch's inaction. Sources reveal Andrew's "arrogance finally broken" by title stripping as Beatrice and Eugenie remain "extremely worried" about their mother's paranoia. Plus, the corgis Sandy and Muick will split time between households as the only "innocent parties in this sordid mess."Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

It's curious how Prince Andrew's COVID-19 diagnosis surfaced just as he was set to appear at one of the biggest public events of his post-scandal life — Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Thanksgiving Service. The palace claimed he had “tested positive” and would therefore miss the ceremony. To many, that announcement felt a little too convenient. Andrew's absence spared the royals from the awkward optics of his presence amid the jubilee celebrations, where his appearance would've surely drawn boos, headlines, and renewed scrutiny. Critics online quickly called the timing “suspect,” noting that a sudden case of COVID seemed to arrive right on schedule to save both Andrew and the Crown from public embarrassment.The vagueness surrounding the diagnosis didn't help either. Buckingham Palace offered no details on how sick he was, when he tested positive, or whether anyone else in his circle had been affected. Given the royal family's long-standing penchant for secrecy — especially when managing scandal — many observers questioned whether this was truly about health or about optics.

Reports surfaced that Prince Andrew was making late-night visits to Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle during the height of his public disgrace. According to multiple outlets, these visits were conducted “under the cover of darkness,” with Andrew allegedly slipping into the castle after hours to spend time with his mother away from prying eyes. The timing—coming just after his royal titles were stripped and the Epstein scandal reached a fever pitch—sparked widespread speculation about his motives. Some royal insiders claimed he was pleading his case, hoping to persuade the Queen to help rehabilitate his image or shield him from the full fallout of his disgrace.Others saw it as a sign of desperation: a son clinging to his last lifeline of relevance, knowing that the court of public opinion had already passed judgment. These nocturnal visits underscored the stark contrast between his diminished public standing and the private access he still enjoyed behind palace walls. Whether they were born of love, manipulation, or panic, they symbolized the surreal image of a disgraced prince haunting the corridors of Windsor under cover of night—his royal career dead, but his delusions of restoration still flickering in the dark.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

It's curious how Prince Andrew's COVID-19 diagnosis surfaced just as he was set to appear at one of the biggest public events of his post-scandal life — Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Thanksgiving Service. The palace claimed he had “tested positive” and would therefore miss the ceremony. To many, that announcement felt a little too convenient. Andrew's absence spared the royals from the awkward optics of his presence amid the jubilee celebrations, where his appearance would've surely drawn boos, headlines, and renewed scrutiny. Critics online quickly called the timing “suspect,” noting that a sudden case of COVID seemed to arrive right on schedule to save both Andrew and the Crown from public embarrassment.The vagueness surrounding the diagnosis didn't help either. Buckingham Palace offered no details on how sick he was, when he tested positive, or whether anyone else in his circle had been affected. Given the royal family's long-standing penchant for secrecy — especially when managing scandal — many observers questioned whether this was truly about health or about optics. Even royal commentators admitted that the announcement's timing “raised eyebrows” and that it might have been a polite cover for keeping him far away from the cameras. Whether coincidence or calculated withdrawal, the entire episode only deepened the public's skepticism toward both Andrew's integrity and the monarchy's management of his reputation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

De zaak tegen twee Britse mannen, verdacht van spionage voor China, is in het water gevallen. Niet omdat het bewijs tegen de twee ontbreekt, maar omdat Westminster niet hardop wil zeggen dat China een gevaar kan zijn voor de staatsveiligheid. De mannen zijn overigens niet eens blij met deze uitkomst, ze hadden graag voor de rechter hun onschuld bepleit. Ook in deze aflevering Is het probleem van Prince Andrew dan toch existentieel voor de Britse monarchie? Charles gaat in elk geval een stap verder dan voorheen gedacht. Zijn broer levert gedwongen al zijn titels in, zelfs die van Prins. De vraag is of dit offer genoeg is. De populariteit van het Britse koningshuis is op een dieptepunt beland. Waar het wel goed mee gaat? Corner shops. Deze typisch britse kleine kruidenierswinkeltjes zijn al vele malen afgeschreven als gedoemd, maar blijven populair. Wat zit daarachter? Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee.

The royal formerly known as "Prince" Andrew is only Andrew now. In what's being called 'the greatest crisis the royal family has faced in 100 years', the King has banished his brother after the distress and noise around his behaviour finally became too loud for even the insulated royals to ignore. So what now? Will it shut down critics and accusers, or just open the flood gates? Also, is it just plain embarrassing to admit to having a boyfriend now? The most viral essay of the past week says YES, so why's that? And: the politics of a pair of untethered breasts. Why Sydney Sweeney's new version of the naked dress has everyone confused.

The downfall of Prince Andrew evolved over more than a decade, beginning with his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Initially dismissed as mere poor judgment, the relationship became indefensible after Epstein's 2008 conviction and the release of court documents in 2014 linking Andrew to Epstein's trafficking network. The real collapse began in 2019 after his disastrous BBC Newsnight interview, where Andrew appeared unremorseful and detached from reality while denying ever meeting Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual abuse. The public backlash was swift and brutal, forcing him to step back from royal duties, lose numerous military and charitable titles, and face widespread condemnation across the UK and abroad.The second phase of Andrew's downfall solidified in 2022 when he reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre, reportedly paying millions to avoid trial—an act widely viewed as an admission of guilt in everything but name. His exile deepened under King Charles III, who moved to strip him of all remaining titles and honours in 2025 and remove him from the Royal Lodge. Once a favored son of Queen Elizabeth II and decorated naval officer, Andrew has become a symbol of privilege without accountability—a man who tried to bluff his way through scandal but ultimately folded under the weight of his own arrogance and denial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew's downfall plays out like a tragic nature documentary — the story of a once-proud royal creature who mistook privilege for power and arrogance for immortality. For decades, he thrived in the sheltered ecosystem of the British monarchy, shielded by wealth and the shadow of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. But his association with Jeffrey Epstein introduced a parasite into that protected environment, exposing the rot beneath the royal veneer. What began as a symbiotic relationship between two predators quickly turned toxic. When Epstein fell, the delicate ecosystem around him collapsed, leaving Andrew exposed and unadapted to the harsh new climate of public accountability.His attempt at survival — the infamous BBC interview — became his undoing, a bizarre display of delusion that only deepened his isolation. Once surrounded by privilege and protection, Andrew found himself exiled within his own habitat, reduced to a sad relic pacing the confines of the Royal Lodge. Stripped of duties and dignity, he serves now as a living fossil — a cautionary specimen of arrogance untempered by awareness. In nature, as in scandal, survival belongs not to the well-born, but to those who can evolve. Prince Andrew, unable or unwilling to adapt, has been left behind — the echo of a species that believed itself immune to extinction.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this special edition of Last Word, Matthew Bannister talks to the actor Samuel West about his mother Prunella Scales.Prunella died on the 27th October, aged 93.Known for her work on stage and screen over many decades – Prunella was particularly renowned for her role as Sybil on Fawlty Towers. In addition to countless other roles, she appeared as Queen Elizabeth II in Alan Bennett's A Question of Attribution in the early 90s – earning a BAFTA nomination. In later life – as she began living with dementia – her hobby of canal boating alongside her husband – the actor Timothy West – was turned into a much loved series on Channel 4.Producer: Ed Prendeville Assistant Producer: Ribika Moktan Editor: Glyn Tansley

The King has announced that his brother, Andrew, will lose the title of ‘Prince' which he was born with, and will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The unprecedented move comes after ongoing revelations about Andrew's relationship with the paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. It also comes after the release of Virginia Giuffre's memoir, a woman who claimed to have had sex with Andrew when she was underage.   Once the ‘golden boy' of the royal family, Andrew was widely thought to be his mother – Queen Elizabeth's favourite child. But continuing scandal and revelations has resulted in this week's move by the King.   Gareth Barlow is joined by Sky's royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills to understand what's next for Andrew and whether the Royal Family can finally draw a line under the matter.         Producer: Natalie Ktena  Editor: Philly Beaumont 

Royal tensions have reached a boiling point. Palace insiders say King Charles is privately blaming the late Queen Elizabeth II for the ongoing Prince Andrew scandal — a move that has shocked senior courtiers. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are facing a major backlash after briefly posting — then quickly deleting — previously unseen photos showing Archie and Lilibet’s faces during a family pumpkin patch outing, sparking a new crisis over their children’s privacy. And Prince William is taking a hard line with Andrew’s daughters, warning Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie that if their father refuses to leave Royal Lodge, their royal status could be at risk.

Tussentijdse verkiezingen voor één zetel in het regionale parlement van Wales. Je zou niet verwachten dat de uitslag daarvan de Britse media domineert, laat staan dat je er verregaande conclusies over de toekomst van de politiek van het Verenigd Koninkrijk aan zou moeten verbinden. Toch is de uitslag veelzeggend. De zetel was sinds mensenheugenis in handen van Labour. Dat is nu niet meer zo. Maar het verlies van Labour is niet de meest interessante ontwikkeling. Verwacht werd namelijk dat de Reform-partij van Nigel Farage er met de winst vandoor zou gaan. Maar het werd de Welsh centrum-linkse nationalistische partij Plaid Cymru. Die partij blijkt veel beter in staat een weerwoord tegen Farage te bieden dan de gevestigde orde. En dát is een interessant voorteken voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen in het voorjaar.

***This show is brought to you by Quince. Go to http://quince.com/playonpod for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.*** In the parking garage outside The Tower, Richard coaches Buckingham on how to act distraught. The Mayor arrives with Catesby and recoils in horror when Ratcliffe delivers Hastings' head. In order to keep her own, she promises to tell the citizens that Hastings was a traitor who deserved to die. Once she leaves, Richard tells Buckingham to spread the word that King Edward was father to countless illegitimate children, including the two Princes. Later, Richard is planted as a guest on the Maximum Rock-n-Roll Radio Show to pose as a devout Christian and give the impression that he does not want to be King unless the people demand it. Buckingham stages a call into the show to plead with Richard to take the throne, saying that if he doesn't, there will be rebellion. Richard pretends to be reluctant but eventually gives in. Later, outside The Tower parking garage, the Duchess, Elizabeth, Anne and Dorset assemble to visit the Princes, but Brackenbury refuses to let them in. Dorset flees to France to join forces with Richmond. Anne agrees to be crowned in order to save the Princes. Elizabeth goes to Sanctuary to save herself and the Duchess goes to her death.
