**Bonus** Eugenie laughs as Fergie spirals: Tripod shattered amid Amazon box chaos at Royal Lodge.
Palace Intrigue delivers devastating family breakdown revelations as Princess Eugenie is spotted laughing in Notting Hill just days after her father's title stripping—in stark contrast to sister Beatrice's "somber" Royal Lodge visit. Sources expose the famous "tripod" relationship between Sarah Ferguson and her daughters is now "more strained" as both princesses retain their HRH titles, with King Charles determined to protect his nieces from the "sins of the father."
Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson spirals into crisis, "blaming herself" and repeating "what if I hadn't done this, or hadn't done that" while considering fleeing the UK as "invitations have dried up overnight." Shocking details reveal Royal Lodge is "surrounded by Amazon deliveries" with "rooms full of boxes that haven't even been opened" that "will take weeks, if not months to shift."
Plus, explosive revelations that Ghislaine Maxwell played matchmaker between Andrew and Australian PR queen Emma Gibbs in 2000—who then created floral arrangements for BOTH daughters' weddings. Royal expert confirms Andrew must now bow to his own daughters, while 52% of Britons believe Charles should force Andrew to testify in America about Epstein.

Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to a special bonus
2
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.199
episode of Palace Intrigue. While we still cover the Prince
3
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.039
Andrew fallout, Princess Eugenie has been spotted in public for
4
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.079
the first time since her father was stripped of his
5
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.359
titles and evicted from Royal Lodge. The princess was photographed
6
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.039
laughing with her husband Jack Brooks Bank in notting Hill
7
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.320
this week, clearly keen to continue life as a normal
8
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.759
despite the scandal engulfing her parents. The couple looked relaxed
9
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.240
and happy as they walked through West London. Eugenie wore
10
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.880
black jeans in a matching top with brown Swede boots,
11
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.679
while Jack warre jeans a jumper Nikey trainers in a
12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.479
bubble hat. The sighting stands in sharp contrast to her
13
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.880
older sister Beatrice, who was recently spotted looking much more
14
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.439
somber during a visit to Royal Lodge. Both princesses have
15
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.479
reportedly been spending more time supporting their beleagued father and
16
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.880
are said to be deeply worried about his mental well being.
17
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.040
The two princesses will retain both of their HRH titles
18
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.519
and membership of the House of York because the King
19
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.719
is keen to ensure his nieces are not tainted by
20
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.719
the sins of the father. The three women were known
21
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.599
as the Tripod, the nickname used by Sarah Ferguson and
22
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.680
her daughters to describe their mutually supportive relationship, but apparently
23
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.719
that relationship is more strained now. Sarah Ferguson is said
24
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.799
to be blaming herself for the current situation and may
25
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.599
quit the UK as she finally separates from her disgraced
26
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.680
ex husband thirty years after their divorce. The former Duchess
27
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.159
of York is reportedly more on edge than Andrew and
28
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.000
is hunkering down in Royal Lodge surrounded by Amazon deliveries.
29
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.359
A source told The Daily Mail, Sarah is going around
30
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.560
blaming herself. She keeps repeating, what if I hadn't done this,
31
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.319
or I hadn't done that. Another source said Fergie is
32
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.439
now considering leaving the country, adding she's always rather lived
33
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.920
on the hoof and as side from her children and grandchildren,
34
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.719
there's not a lot to keep her here. The invitations
35
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.120
have dried up overnight. Sarah has said she will find
36
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:00.920
her own place and will move on with her life
37
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.400
as Andrew begins his new chapter at Sandringham. Nevertheless, it's
38
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.120
expected to take weeks for Andrew to finally leave Royal Lodge,
39
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.120
and with the move not due until the new year,
40
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.960
one source said the Amazon deliveries that go up to
41
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.840
the Royal Lodge are unbelievable. There are rooms full of
42
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.360
boxes that haven't even been opened. It will take weeks,
43
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.879
if not months, to shiftle this stuff out. Another insider
44
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.240
explained that while Sarah and Andrew once brought strength to
45
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.520
one another, the opposite now appears to be the case.
46
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.520
The phone has stopped ringing overnight. Even those who are
47
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.879
willing to defend her less than a month ago don't
48
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.639
want to have anything to do with her now. The
49
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.159
former Duchess of York is also facing publishing delays for
50
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.240
her latest children's book, which was due to hit the
51
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.240
shelves on October ninth. According to a press release in bookseller,
52
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.520
it's now showing us only available from November twenty eighth
53
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.439
on Amazon. Waterstones Bookstores confirmed to BBC News that the
54
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.719
book's publication date had moved, though Sarah's publisher did not
55
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.800
respond to a request for comment. One industry source told
56
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.400
the BBC that it would be an entirely sensible decision
57
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.599
to publication given the current scandal. In an intriguing twist,
58
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.919
an Australian born ex girlfriend of Andrew, who Glene Maxwell
59
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.639
played matchmaker too, has kept close to his family decades
60
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.680
after their romance. Pierre Queen Emma Gibbs, now known by
61
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.240
her married name Emma Farrer, works as the events boss
62
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.599
at a posh florist in London. Missus Farrer has never
63
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.439
addressed multiple reports that Maxwell fixed her and Andrew up
64
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.680
in the spring of two thousand. The couple was seen
65
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.280
kissing at a polo model's party in London in July
66
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.960
two thousand, but it can be revealed that miss Farrer
67
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.960
remained connected to Andrew, Sarah and their daughters. In recent years.
68
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.919
Missus Farrer helped create the floral arch for beatrice twenty
69
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.960
twenty COVID wedding at Royal Lodge. My most favorite wedding
70
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.159
arch is the one we created for HRH Princess Beatrice
71
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.360
of York and Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi, she said in an interview.
72
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.479
She also played a role in the florals for Eugenie's
73
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.280
twenty nineteen wedding. While her Maxwell sponsored romance with Andrew
74
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.680
didn't work out, Missus Farah now rubbed shoulders with European
75
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.360
royalty and stood to be close friends with Crown Princess
76
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.560
Mauriceantaleo Greece. Prince WOI Kim of Denmark and Elizabeth Hurley
77
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.240
were among the guests of Messrs Farrer's wedding. More Palace
78
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:18.480
In Just a Moment, Royal expert Robert Hartman sat down
79
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.120
with The Daily Mail's Palace Confidential to answer questions about
80
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.399
Andrew's future. When asked whether the disgraced former Duke now
81
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.360
has to bow to his daughter's Princess Eugenian Beatrice, Hardman
82
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.279
said he probably will. Mister Hardman described Charles as the
83
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.399
fountain of justice and likened the King's decision to strip
84
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.040
Andrew of his honors and titles to effectively categorizing him
85
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.720
in the same way as war criminals and enemies of state.
86
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.160
Explaining the logistics behind Charles' decision, Hartman said the King
87
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.040
has exercised his royal prerogative with parliamentary and government approval.
88
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.439
He talked to the Prime Minister about this Other questions
89
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.560
explored included whether Andrew will finally have to apply for
90
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.839
a passport having been exiled from the firm. The session
91
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.920
divided insight into the practical implications of Andrew's unprecedented fault
92
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.720
from Grace. Meanwhile, a poll conducted by Express dot co
93
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:11.040
dot uk asked readers whether King Charles should make Andrew
94
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.959
testify in America about everything he knows regarding Jeffrey Epstein.
95
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.759
Of the three one hundred and sixty seven people who
96
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.480
cast their votes, fifty two percent that the King should
97
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.279
force Andrew to testify, whereas forty four percent said no.
98
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.759
Only four percent said they are not sure. The poll
99
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.199
comes and speculation grows that Andrew could be summoned to
100
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.279
give evidence about his links to Epstein in front of
101
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.199
a US committee. Stephen Lynch, a senior member of the
102
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.720
US House Oversight Committee, told the BBC's News Night, we
103
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.639
would be extremely interested in hearing from Prince Andrew regarding
104
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.560
his involvement in all of this. As Andrew is a
105
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.920
UK citizen, it is his choice whether or not to
106
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.639
give evidence. The committee is currently examining documents related to
107
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.800
Epstein and his actions. Andrew has always denied any accusations
108
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.879
against him. A resurface clip from Ruby Wax's interview with
109
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.319
Sarah Ferguson has provided an oddly prescient moment as the
110
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:09.279
Yorks reportedly find themselves packing their belongings. The BAFTA nominated
111
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.600
episode took place inside Fergi's rented Surrey home after her
112
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.399
divorce from Andrew. One memorable moment came when Ruby rifled
113
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.959
through Sarah's draws that were all labeled with posted stickers.
114
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.480
The comedian was tickled when she realized Fergy color coded
115
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.000
her T shirts as Smart pink and Smart white. When
116
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.439
Ruby asked whether she was too lazy to check what
117
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.079
was in each drawer, Sarah said, when you're getting dressed
118
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.839
in the morning, you've got about five seconds to get
119
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.399
the children breakfast before you burn the toast. I'm not
120
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.519
going to open fifteen million drawers to find my gray
121
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.839
T shirts, so I labeled them all up. I'm a
122
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.279
practical person. Fergie then placed a photograph of the lake
123
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.680
Ween Elizabeth face down on the dresser, as Ruby quipped,
124
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.319
she keeps hiding those It's private, Fergi replied, as Ruby added,
125
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.040
I'm going to be beheaded. During that interview, Fergie reflected
126
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.959
on her controversies, saying, I am so sad. I am
127
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.240
just miserable about what happened in the past. But then
128
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.600
I can't look back. But if you say, gosh, you
129
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.279
could have had such a really fantastic life, well yes,
130
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.160
I blew it. As the Royal Lodge saga continues to unfold,
131
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.839
with rooms reportedly full of unopened Amazon boxes in a
132
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.439
move that won't happen until next year, the fallout from
133
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.639
Andrew's downfall continues to ripple through the family. Eugenie and
134
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.680
Beatrice maintain their public composure while privately worrying about their father.
135
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.839
Sarah faces her most difficult scandal yet, with the phone
136
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.879
lines going silent and invitations drying up overnight. The woman
137
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.360
who once labeled her drawers with such a practical precision,
138
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.600
now finds herself in a situation that no amount of
139
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.639
organization can fix. And as fifty two percent of the
140
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.319
British public beliefs Andrew should testify in America, the question
141
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.879
remains whether this chapter of the Royal Story has truly
142
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.040
reached its conclusion, or whether more revelations still wait in
143
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.399
the wings. And there you heaven If you'd like to
