Prince William is reportedly determined to see the scandal surrounding Andrew Mountbatten Windsor fully resolved before he becomes king — even if that means allowing the legal system to examine the case openly.Sources cited by Radar Online say the Prince of Wales believes the controversy has dragged on far too long and that the monarchy cannot afford to carry unresolved questions into the next reign. One insider said William views Andrew as “toxic” to the future of the institution and wants the matter confronted directly rather than quietly managed behind palace walls.At the same time, new rumors continue to circulate that King Charles the Third could step down because of the strain surrounding the scandal and his ongoing health concerns. Royal insider Deep Crown cautions that abdication would strip Charles of the legal protections that come with the Crown, suggesting a regency would be a far more likely constitutional path if the King were to step back from active duties.Meanwhile, the Wales family has also fueled speculation about Prince George's future education after visiting Marlborough College, while Princess Anne drew praise online for joking about a near-hug with Scotland's rugby captain during the Six Nations.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

A former public relations executive has launched a blistering attack on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, calling them “problematic in different ways” and describing both as “delusional,” according to a NewsNation report. The unnamed source claimed Meghan avoided eye contact with staff and said Harry lacked basic life skills, alleging, “He is dumber than you could ever imagine.” A spokesperson for the Sussexes flatly denied the claims.The criticism comes as Meghan's As Ever brand faces online mockery over a bookmark product that critics say doesn't grip properly, while RadarOnline reports tensions over a possible UK return later this year. The outlet claims Meghan has presented detailed conditions for the visit — including security demands and accommodation requirements — raising concerns about whether reconciliation efforts could backfire.She is also facing online backlash over claims she “borrowed” the phrase “As Ever,” previously used by King Charles in personal correspondence. Meanwhile, renewed controversy surrounding her estranged father has reportedly prompted pressure on Netflix to help “control the narrative.”Adding to the mix, Prince Harry has been spotted surfing at a private wave pool, with one commentator quipping that “anyone can get barreled if they're rich.” Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Germany holds the world's second biggest national gold reserves after the US, of which approximately €164bn (£122bn) worth – 1,236 tonnes – is stored in New York. Emanuel Mönch, a leading economist and former head of research at Germany's federal bank, the Bundesbank, called for the gold to be brought home, saying it was too “risky” for it to be kept in the US under the current administration. “In the interest of greater strategic independence from the US, the Bundesbank would therefore be well advised to consider repatriating the gold.” Source: zerohedge.com Trump Suggests He Can Send $2,000 Tariff Rebate Checks Without Congress Bessent has also suggested the $2,000 benefit might not take the form of direct cash disbursements. the Treasury secretary said while he had not yet finalized details with Trump, the “dividend could come in lots of forms,” such as through tax reductions already under consideration—including exemptions for tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits, among other deductions.
