Podcast appearances and mentions of sarah ferguson

Episode Description: "Project Thaw" exposed—alleged plot to bring Harry back involves educating Archie/Lilibet in UK schools. Deep Crown destroys the premise: "Does anyone seriously believe Harry would place an ocean between his children and their mother? He's constructed his entire post-royal identity around not repeating Diana's experience." Kate vs Camilla explodes—Queen "astounded" Kate entertaining Harry reconciliation, source claims "poisonous showdown at palace" where Camilla called Kate "naive and reckless." TIARA WARS: Kate wears Oriental Circlet with 2,600 diamonds/rubies at State Banquet, deliberately overshadowing Camilla. Source: "Camilla was hopping mad, said it was another blatant attempt to hog the limelight." Deep Crown: "Catherine isn't preparing to be Queen—she's already performing the role. That tiara was making the subtext text.

A whole mess of AI generated shownotes. Enjoy! 00:25 – Christmas in Hong Kong, KFC in JapanJoel (Jack the Insider) opens Episode 138 and checks in with Jack (Hong Kong Jack) about Hong Kong's love of Christmas shopping, surreal mall installations and the absence of nativity scenes, before detouring to Japan's KFC-at-Christmas tradition.​01:50 – Australia's world‑first social media ban for under‑16sThe Jacks unpack the new national ban on social media for under‑16s, the generational politics of Gen Alpha kids and millennial parents, and the “pick up a book, go for a bike ride” messaging from Anthony Albanese and Julie Inman Grant.​They read out Vox pops about kids discovering life without apps, YouTube‑driven body image issues, and the early scramble to alternative chat and file‑sharing apps like LemonAid.​05:35 – Social engineering, High Court challenge and mental health concernsThey describe the policy as a conscious piece of social engineering aimed at reshaping youth culture over a decade, and note the High Court challenge led by the Digital Freedom Movement and Libertarian MLC John Ruddick.​Beyond Blue, Headspace, ReachOut and the Black Dog Institute warn about cutting off access to online mental‑health support, as the Jacks weigh the internet's harms against the value of peer support communities for young people.​09:35 – Enforcement gaps, workarounds and parental resistanceThe Jacks discuss uneven implementation, with some under‑16s apparently still able to access Facebook and Instagram while other apps are wiped, and a rush into less‑regulated platforms.​They note reports that up to a third of parents will quietly help kids stay online and float the idea of a nationwide “kitchen‑table” style forum to help parents understand the risks and responsibilities around kids' social media use.​12:00 – A social experiment the world is watchingThey canvas overseas interest, with Denmark, Spain and others eyeing bans at 15 rather than 16, and Sarah Ferguson's description of Australia's move as a live “social experiment” whose results are very much unknown.​13:05 – Richo's state funeral and the dark arts of NSW Labor RightThe conversation turns to Graham “Richo” Richardson's state funeral, his reputation as Labor's master organiser and electoral numbers man, and his long life “on the public purse”.​Joel recounts Richo's link to Balmain Welding and Stan “Standover” Smith, arguing that New South Wales Labor Right's success always had a darker underbelly.​15:10 – Paul Brereton, the NACC and conflicts of interestThey examine National Anti‑Corruption Commission boss Paul Brereton's updated disclosures about his ongoing work with the Inspector‑General of the ADF and Afghanistan war‑crimes inquiries, revealed via FOI.​The Jacks question whether someone so intertwined with Defence can credibly oversee corruption matters touching Defence acquisitions, and whether carving out whole domains from his remit makes his appointment untenable.​18:25 – A quiet NACC, no perp walks and media theatreThe Jacks note how quietly the NACC has operated in Canberra—“blink and you'd miss them”—with none of the televised “perp walks” beloved of New South Wales ICAC coverage.​Jack welcomes the absence of media spectacle; Joel admits to missing the grimace‑through‑the‑cameras moment as accused figures run the gauntlet.​19:50 – Victorian youth vote turns on LaborNew polling of 18–34‑year‑olds in Victoria shows Labor's vote down 11 points to 28 per cent and the Coalition's up 17 points to 37 per cent, with the Greens steady at 20 per cent.​The Jacks argue the Victorian Labor government looks to be in terminal decline, discuss leadership options for Jacinta Allan, and canvass how quickly preference “cascades” can flip a long‑term government once momentum turns.​22:15 – Green exports vs coal, Treasury modelling under fireThey dissect Treasury modelling which suggests “green exports” (critical minerals, rare earths, battery inputs) will surpass coal and gas within a decade, and note scepticism from former Treasury official and now CBA chief economist Stephen Yeaman.​The Jacks highlight International Energy Agency updates showing coal demand in key markets staying high, and the reality that renewables growth is largely meeting new demand rather than cutting deeply into existing coal and gas use.​25:05 – Coal to 2049 and the reality of the gridJack points to Australian market operator projections that coal will remain in the domestic mix until at least 2049, while Joel questions which ageing coal plants will physically survive that long without new builds.​They agree modelling must continually be revised against actual demand profiles in China, India, Indonesia and elsewhere, where coal still supplies half or more of electricity.​27:20 – 30‑year suppression orders and transparencyThe Jacks shift to a 30‑year suppression order over evidence behind Tanya Plibersek's decision to block a $1 billion coal mine until 2055, and more broadly the proliferation of long‑term suppression orders in Australia.​They criticise the over‑use of secrecy in both environmental and criminal matters, arguing it breeds suspicion that justice and accountability can be bought by the wealthy.​28:25 – The “prominent family” sexual assault case in VictoriaWithout naming the individual, they discuss a Victorian case involving the convicted son of a prominent family whose identity remains suppressed even after guilty findings for serious sexual offences.​They worry that blanket suppression encourages rumour, misidentification and a sense that powerful people get special treatment, even when protection of victims is a legitimate concern.​30:05 – From undercover cop to gangland wars: how secrecy backfiresJoel revisits an NSW example where an undercover police officer's drink‑driving conviction was suppressed for 55 years, and Melbourne gangland cases where key cooperating witnesses remained pseudonymous for decades.​The Jacks argue that when authorities create information vacuums, gossip and conspiracy inevitably rush in to fill the space.​33:50 – MP expenses, family reunion travel and Annika Wells' bad day outThey turn to MPs' entitlements and “family reunion” travel: Annika Wells' ski‑trip optics and poor press conference performance, Don Farrell's extensive family travel, and Sarah Hanson‑Young's $50,000 in family travel for her lobbyist husband.​While acknowledging how hard federal life is—especially for WA MPs—they question where legitimate family support ends and taxpayer‑funded lifestyle begins.​37:05 – Why family reunion perks exist (and how they're abused)The Jacks recall the tragic case of Labor MP Greg Wilton as a driver for more generous family travel rules, given the emotional cost of long separations.​They conclude the system is necessary but ripe for exploitation, and note the Coalition's relatively muted response given its own exposure to the same rules.​39:15 – Diplomatic drinks trolleys: London, New York and the UNJoel notes Stephen Smith's stint as High Commissioner in London—the “ultimate drinks trolley” of Australian diplomacy—and his replacement by former SA Premier Jay Weatherill.​Jack mentions Smith's reputation for being stingy with hospitality at Australia House, in contrast to the traditionally lavish networking role of London and New York postings.​40:40 – Barnaby Joyce joins One NationThe big domestic political move: Barnaby Joyce's shift from the Nationals to One Nation, including his steak‑on‑a‑sandwich‑press dinner with Pauline Hanson.​The Jacks canvass whether Joyce runs again in New England or heads for the Senate, and the anger among New England voters who may feel abandoned.​42:25 – One Nation's growth, branch‑building and Pauline's futureThey dig into polling from Cos Samaras suggesting 39 per cent of Coalition voters say they'd be more likely to vote One Nation if Joyce led the party, and the risk of the Coalition following the UK Tories into long‑term decline.​The Jacks note One Nation's organisational maturation—building actual branches and volunteer networks in NSW and Queensland—and wonder whether Pauline Hanson herself now caps the party's potential.​45:20 – Kemi Badenoch, a revived UK Conservative Party and Reform's ceilingAttention swings to the UK, with fresh polling showing Labour slumping to the high teens, the Conservatives recovering into the high teens/low 20s, and Reform polling in the mid‑20s to low‑30s depending on the firm.​They credit new Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch for lifting morale by dominating Keir Starmer at the despatch box, but caution that Reform's rise may still be more protest than durable realignment.​49:45 – Fragmenting party systems in Europe and the UKDrawing on Michael Gove's comments, the Jacks sketch the new “four‑party” pattern across Europe—radical left/Green, social democratic, Christian Democrat centre‑right, and populist right—and argue the UK is slowly following suit.​They suggest both Labour and the Conservatives can no longer comfortably absorb all votes on their respective sides of politics, with Reform and Greens carving out durable niches.​53:05 – US seizes a Venezuelan tanker, Trump calls it the “biggest ever”The Jacks look at the US Coast Guard's seizure of a sanctioned Venezuelan oil tanker accused of moving Venezuelan and Iranian oil in support of foreign terrorist groups.​Joel notes Trump's boast that it's “the largest tanker ever seized”, while quoting Pam Bondi's more sober explanation of the sanctions basis.​54:45 – Five years of social media to enter the US?They examine a Trump‑era proposal to require even visa‑waiver travellers to provide five years of social media history before entering the United States.​The Jacks question the logistical feasibility, highlight the trend of travellers using “burner phones” for US trips, and argue measures like this would severely damage American tourism.​57:10 – SCOTUS, independent agencies and presidential powerThe Jacks discuss a pending US Supreme Court case about whether presidents can hire and fire the heads of independent agencies at will, with even liberal justices expressing sympathy for expansive executive authority.​They link this to a broader global question: how much power should be handed from elected ministers to expert regulators, and how hard it is to claw that power back once delegated.​01:00:25 – Trump's national security strategy and an abandoned EuropeThey turn to the Trump administration's new national security strategy framing Europe as both security dependent and economic competitor, and signalling an end to automatic US security guarantees.​The Jacks describe openly hostile rhetoric from Trump figures like J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio towards Europe, and portray it as part of a broader American drift into isolationism as China and Russia advance.​01:02:20 – Europe rearms: Germany, Poland and conscription talkThe conversation moves to European responses: big defence spending increases in Poland and Germany, and German plans to assess 18‑year‑olds for potential limited conscription.​Joel argues Europe may need to build its own strategic table rather than rely on a fickle US ally, while Jack stresses serious military capability is the price of a genuine seat at any table.​01:03:50 – Biden, the border and a blown political callThe Jacks examine a New York Times reconstruction of how the Biden administration mishandled southern border migration, from 75,000 encounters in January 2021 to 169,000 by March.​They say Biden officials badly underestimated both the scale of migration and the law‑and‑order backlash, including resentment from migrants who followed legal pathways.​01:07:05 – Migration then and now: Ellis Island vs the Rio GrandeJack recounts Ellis Island's history: the small but real share of arrivals turned back at ship‑owners' expense, and how many migrants later returned home despite being admitted.​They contrast a heavily regulated, ship‑based 19th‑century system with today's chaotic mix of asylum flows, cartels and porous borders, and argue that simple “open borders” rhetoric ignores complex trade‑offs.​01:09:55 – Americans know their ancestry, and that shapes the debateJoel notes how many Americans can precisely trace family arrival via Ellis Island, unlike many Australians who have fuzzier family histories.​He suggests this deep personal connection to immigration history partly explains the emotional intensity around contemporary migration and ICE enforcement.​01:10:30 – Ashes 2–0: Neeser's five‑for and Lyon's omissionSport time: Australia go 2–0 up in the Ashes with an eight‑wicket win at the Gabba.​The big call is leaving Nathan Lyon out for Michael Neser; the Jacks weigh Nesser's match‑turning 5/42 and clever use of Alex Carey standing up to the stumps against the loss of a front‑line spinner over key periods.​01:11:55 – Basball meets Australian conditionsThey discuss the limits of “Bazball” in Australia, praising Stokes and Will Jacks' rearguard while noting most English batters failed to adapt tempo to match situation.​Jack cites past blueprints for winning in Australia—long, draining innings from Alastair Cook, Cheteshwar Pujara and Rahul Dravid—that hinge on time at the crease rather than constant aggression.​01:15:05 – Keepers compared: Alex Carey vs England's glovesJoel hails Carey's performance as possibly the best keeping he's seen from an Australian in a single Test, including brilliant work standing up to the seamers and a running catch over Marnus Labuschagne.​They contrast this with England's struggling keeper, question whether Ben Foakes should have been summoned, and note Carey's age probably rules him out as a future Test captain despite his leadership qualities.​01:17:05 – England's bowling woes and Jofra Archer's limitsThe English attack looks potent in short bursts, especially Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, but lacks the endurance to bowl long, hostile spells over a five‑day Test in Australian conditions.​Archer hasn't bowled more than 10 overs in an international match for over two years, and the Jacks argue that's showing late in games as speeds drop and discipline wanes.​01:25:45 – World Cup 2026: Trump's “peace medal”, Craig Foster's critiqueSwitching codes to football, they note FIFA awarding Donald Trump a “peace” medal ahead of the 2026 World Cup and his delight in placing it on himself.​Craig Foster attacks world football for embracing a US president he accuses of human‑rights abuses, prompting the Jacks to point out FIFA's recent World Cups in Russia and Qatar hardly make it a moral authority.​01:27:20 – Seattle's Pride match… Iran vs EgyptJack tells the story of Seattle's local government declaring its allocated World Cup game a Pride match, only to discover the fixture will be Iran vs Egypt—two teams whose governments are unlikely to embrace that framing.​01:27:55 – Stadiums in the desert and the cost of spectacleJoel reflects on vast, underused stadiums in the Gulf built for the World Cup and now often almost empty, using a low‑attendance cricket game in Abu Dhabi as an example of mega‑event over‑build.​01:29:05 – Wrapping up and previewing the final show of 2025The Jacks close Episode 138 by flagging one more episode before Christmas, thanking listeners for feedback—especially stories around the social media ban—and promising to return with more politics, law and sport next week.​a

Prince Andrew's handling of the now-infamous £750,000 payment came under renewed scrutiny when reports revealed he instructed bankers with questions about the transfer to “call Buckingham Palace.” According to coverage of the incident, when compliance officers at the bank sought clarification about the large sum—sent by Andrew's associate to Sarah Ferguson, and widely viewed as suspicious—Andrew chose not to provide details himself. Instead, he deflected inquiries to the palace, implying that the matter was official or sanctioned at an institutional level. This response immediately raised internal red flags, as banks rely on clear justification for high-value transfers, not royal name-dropping.The request to route all concerns to Buckingham Palace was seen by investigators as an attempt to use royal authority to sidestep standard financial scrutiny. Rather than easing the bank's concerns, Andrew's instruction heightened them, triggering further internal reviews and outside attention. The incident became one more example of how Andrew relied on the aura of royal privilege to manage controversies—an approach that ultimately collapsed once the Epstein scandal and subsequent civil case forced transparency. The £750,000 episode now stands as a pivotal moment showing how Andrew tried, unsuccessfully, to shield questionable financial dealings behind the palace gates.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Andrew Lownie joins Joanna Coles with a bracing account of a royal family in complete public meltdown. Lownie, an author and British historian, lays out why Prince Andrew's downfall is no longer a contained scandal but a widening corruption crisis—one that now stretches from sex-trafficking allegations to financial misconduct, secret meetings with Bahrain, and the Queen and Prince Philip's decades-long blind spot for their “favorite” son. As King Charles battles cancer and Prince William quietly takes the reins, Joanna presses Lownie on whether Andrew will flee Britain, what Sarah Ferguson might reveal, and whether this is the most perilous moment for the monarchy since the abdication.

El audio explora diversas infidelidades en la realeza y la política británica. El príncipe Andrés pierde sus títulos reales y privilegios debido a acusaciones de abuso sexual vinculadas al caso Epstein. Virginia Giuffre le acusa de explotación sexual cuando ella tiene diecisiete años, aunque él lo niega en una entrevista de la BBC, cuyo resultado es contraproducente. Finalmente, Andrés llega a un acuerdo extrajudicial de doce millones de libras esterlinas. La relación con su exesposa, Sarah Ferguson, también está marcada por infidelidades de ella. El rey Carlos y el príncipe Guillermo presionan para que Andrés se retire por completo de la vida real, en un momento en que el apoyo a la monarquía está por debajo del cincuenta por ciento. Por otro lado, se abordan las supuestas infidelidades de Margaret Thatcher, la "Dama de Hierro". Aunque su matrimonio con Denis Thatcher se presenta como sólido públicamente, una periodista británica, Tina Gaudoin, documenta en su libro "El incidente ...

According to Andrew Lownie — as discussed on a recent podcast interview and in media coverage of his new book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York — Epstein reportedly became “increasingly paranoid” toward the end of his life, fearing exposure. Lownie claims that Epstein “spoke to a hitman who was a former member of a British special-forces unit,” i.e. an ex-SAS sniper, and allegedly sought to hire him to “silence” Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson (his ex-wife) — supposedly to prevent them from disclosing damaging information about Epstein's crimes. Lownie says the allegation comes from two sources, including a former FBI agent and a source in Paris.Lownie further argues that if the plot had been real and had advanced beyond talk, the potential assassination of a royal couple would dramatically reframe how far Epstein's reach went — from sex-trafficking financier to someone allegedly willing to murder to protect his network. He also suggests this may help explain continuing ties: that fear — not just convenience — may have motivated ongoing contacts between Epstein and people like Ferguson, even after Epstein's conviction.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein 'plotted to hire ex-SAS sniper to silence the Yorks when he feared his crimes could be exposed'

ew reports dredge up the chaos of Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's early marriage — including claims Andrew saw more than a dozen women in year one, while Sarah and John Bryan allegedly carried on after-hours at Sunninghill Park. Freshly exposed emails show a journalist telling Jeffrey Epstein that Andrew “had consensual sex with [redacted],” a phrasing Epstein did not challenge.Meanwhile, palace insiders say Andrew is still living like nothing has changed: riding horses at Windsor, demanding silver-service dinners, crates of champagne for dwindling friends, and a full staff — all while the King and Waleses fume.

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. Against this backdrop, Kensington Palace confirms that the Prince and Princess of Wales will lead the family's public front at this year's Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

This explosive biography of the Duke and Duchess of York - - Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson – exposes the secrets and scandals behind their extravagant lives and troubled marriage.Entitled presents an unvarnished and meticulously researched account of two of the most controversial figures in modern royal history. Based on years of investigation, extensive Freedom of Information requests and more than a hundred interviews with previously silent sources, acclaimed royal expert Andrew Lownie delivers an authoritative and deeply revealing dual portrait of the Duke and Duchess, whose lives and relationship have ben marked by privilege, controversy, and public fascination.Tracing their stories from childhood through their high-profile courtship and marriage, dramatic divorce, and enduring connection as “the happiest divorced couple in the world,” Entitled digs deeper than ever before into a pair that has long been a source of scrutiny. Lownie examines Prince Andrew's trajectory from a celebrated naval officer to a disgraced royal accused of sexual assault and stripped of his public duties, and unpacks the truth of his lavish lifestyle and the enduring fallout from his association with Jeffrey Epstein.More than just a story of personal failings or royal scandal, Entitled examines the broader context of a monarchy navigating public accountability and the pressures of modernity. The result is a compelling and nuanced portrait of a flawed couple whose lives have defined and defied the expectations of royalty in the 21zst century, and whose actions continue to resonate far beyond the palace walls.https://amzn.to/480IBPUBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

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.

A former royal chef calls Prince Andrew “demanding” and “arrogant,” revealing tales of midnight TV calls, golf-ball retrievals, and butlers summoned just to open curtains. Meanwhile, biographer Andrew Lownie says Sarah Ferguson dined nightly like a Tudor monarch, complete with beef, lamb, and chicken fit for Henry VIII. Elsewhere, King Charles earns praise as the royals' most adventurous eater, a butler hints Christmas could move back to Windsor, and Meghan's “boiled water recipe” sparks fresh ridicule online.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's last business venture, Pitch@Palace Global, is officially being dissolved — ending his attempt to play royal dragon in a Dragons' Den world.Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson hides out in her private bar, “The Doghouse,” drowning stress in champagne and fear of eviction from Royal Lodge. Reports claim she's even considering selling private letters from Princess Diana to stay afloat, a move that could ignite royal fury. And in the latest twist, Buckingham Palace quietly restores Andrew's long-lost hyphen, confirming his surname is once again Mountbatten-Windsor — or as some might say, Mountbatten-Dash-Disaster.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

A bombshell new account alleges Andrew Mountbatten Windsor brought prostitutes into Buckingham Palace for years while staff who complained were warned to keep quiet, with royal biographer Andrew Lownie claiming even the late Queen knew and nothing was done. As Deep Crown dissects how the system really works, Andrew digs in over his eviction from Royal Lodge, demanding staff, space and financial guarantees that William is unlikely to honour. Add in a congressional summons he is said to be terrified of, a panicking Sarah Ferguson, a glitchy royal website still calling him The Duke of York, and towns wrestling with street names that suddenly feel toxic, and it is clear the Andrew problem is nowhere near solved.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Now this is a right royal mess. Before it all went spectacularly wrong. Before Epstein, before the exile, before the Palace decided Prince Andrew should probably just be Andrew: there was “Randy Andy” and Fergie. The cheeky, chaotic couple who briefly made the monarchy look like a Jilly Cooper book. From their whirlwind courtship and tabloid scandals to the toe-sucking! This was a love story that had it all. In fact maybe it had a little too much!  This week, comedian Michael Clarke (Crybabies, Everything Is News) joins Gráinne and Chantal to dive into the doomed romance of the Ex Duke and Duchess of York. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode was recorded prior to the recent revelations about Prince Andrew's formal removal from the Royal Family and Sarah Ferguson's overly pally prison letters to Jeffrey Epstein.

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.

Maggie's Hammer author Geoffrey Gilson—ex-Thatcher speechwriter—dissects Prince Andrew's Epstein entanglements, Sarah Ferguson's "supreme friend" emails, and charity purges as blackmail levers in elite power trades. As King Charles's health fades amid Islam conversion whispers and Windsor Iftar feasts, Gilson exposes royal succession as a scripted pivot for transnational networks—from Alaska summits to Ukraine's proxy wars. This isn't tabloid tittle-tattle; it's the raw wiring of global influence, where scandal shields deeper scripts steering nations. GUEST: Geoffrey Gilson, former speechwriter for Margaret Thatcher and author of Maggie's Hammer, has spent decades mapping covert elite networks—tracing money, intelligence, and personal ties binding royals, financiers, and governments.

We tell a lot of wild stories about crimes that happened right here in the States—but it's worth noting that our cousins across the pond are misbehaving just as badly. Y'know, same crimes, different accent. Today we've chosen two cases that each mirror so many of the ones we've covered from here: A woman consumed by her toxic obsession for the man she wanted to marry, and a man more interested in playing soldier and spy than he was in building himself a real life. Case 1: Jane Andrews, the murder of Thomas Cressman. Case 2, fantasist Michael Newitt. Sources:Channel 5's "Countdown to Murder," episode "The Duchess, the Killer and Her Lover"The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/may/21/royal-aide-jane-andrews-prison-release-murderDaily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14403185/Sarah-Ferguson-killer-aide-Jane-Andrews-sick-animals.htmlMurderpedia, Jane Andrews (various articles)https://www.thefreelibrary.com/The%2Bspy%2Bwho%2Bfooled%2Bme%3B%2BFAKE%2BMI5%2BAGENT%27S%2BEX-LOVE%2BTELLS%2BOF%2BLIES%2BTHAT...-a0188988173 https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/oct/31/ukcrime-jamesbond https://www.hinckleytimes.net/news/local-news/bond-style-secret-agent-fantasist-jailed-6036157 https://www.thetimes.com/uk/law/article/fantasist-fooled-police-into-believing-he-was-spy-5sd29jd8wpr https://www.thetimes.com/uk/law/article/two-years-in-jail-for-fantasy-james-bond-kqmsrwj8h0t https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/21284267.fraudsters-james-bond-lifestyle-exposed/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/3330805/Bankrupt-posed-as-James-Bond-style-secret-agent-for-two-years.html?ICID=continue_without_subscribing_reg_firstFollow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfirehttps://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=enTwitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.
