Eugenie Cuts Andrew Off, Fergie Panics, and the Royals Tiptoe Around Trump

0:00 A calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas intrigy Gay. I'm your host, Mark Francis. Princess Eugenie has reportedly cut off all contact with her father Andrew. The Mail on Sunday reports that Andrew is devastated by the breakdown in his relationship with his younger daughter, saying Eugenie is refusing to speak to him and did not visit him over Christmas. One source told The Mail on Sunday that the rift has escalated into complete silence, saying there is no contact at all. Nothing. It's Brooklyn Backham level. She has completely cut him off. By contrast, the paper reports that Princess Beatrice is attempting what it describes as a more delicate balancing act. According to the report, Beatrice invited her father to the christening of her eleven month old daughter Athena last month, but Andrew did not attend a pub gathering afterwards.

0:57 One source said Beatrice is trying to walk the fine life of not cutting her father off and yet remaining close to the royal family. They aren't exactly in regular and close contact at the moment, but Eugenie isn't trying to walk that line. She's not speaking to him. I saw As tells The National Inquirer Andrew is eyeing moving to the Middle East. He says he can have a fresh start there because it's more old school. Andrew's convinced people won't constantly judge him. Andrew genuinely thinks he can still cash in on his former royal status. He's got this idea that he'll be welcomed into a community of expats over there and embraced like it's the good old days. He's even talking about how he wants to get back to dating. Andrew has absolutely no intention of settling quietly into Sandringham. He sees it as humiliating and beneath him.

1:45 He says, if Charles thinks he can park him in some falling down dump and pretend he no longer exists, he has another thing coming. I saw As tells The Express Sarah Ferguson is seriously worried about how on earth she's going to maintain her lifestyle. Somebody else always picked up the tab even when she spent more than she had. The insider added that she has been very well taken care of over the years by various boyfriends, friends and acquaintances. It was quite normal for her to be invited to an expensive hotel or spa given the five star VIP treatment for a few days in exchange for her simply being there. But now nobody wants her. Good news for fans of this podcast, as it appears we'll have another seventy five years of family squabbles to talk about. Sources cited by Radar Online dot Com described relations between Kate and Queen Camilla as incredibly strained, and claimed this has influenced how George's public role is shaped. One source said there's been a conscious effort to keep George close to his parents in the Middleton side of the family. This has meant limiting informal contact with Camilla. It's being interpreted in some circles snub, but those close to Kate see it as protective and intentional. Kate is fiercely focused on controling her children's environment. Given the tension she feels toward Camilla, she is far more comfortable reinforcing George's bond with William and her own parents. George follows that lead and his age that alignment speaks volumes. Another source told the outlet Carol Middleton has always been a grounding presence for George.

3:18 Keate trusts her implicitly, and that trust doesn't extend in the same way to Camilla. George's comfort with his granny reflects where Kate feels safest publicly. George has appeared confident during recent engagements. He greeted crowds at Sandringham on Christmas Day alongside his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. A bystander was quoted as saying he displayed a quiet confidence and maturity. It's crazy to think that he'll be a teenager this year, one royal expert told Radar Online. Everyone around the family is conscious that George is still very young, and there's no rush to push him into the spotlight. What is happening is a gradual, carefully considered introduction to public life, where each appearance has a purpose and a clear boundary. Nothing about it is random or performative. William and Kater deliberately pacing his exposure, making sure he understands what he's seeing and doing, rather than overwhelming him. Behind the scenes, however, sources claimed Kate's determination to control her son's path has intensified amid tensions with Camilla. One friend said, Kate sees George is her responsibility first and a royal asset second. If that means keeping distance from people she doesn't trust, even the Queen, she won't hesitate. The royal family is facing renewed pressure to stay clear of politics, as tensions involving the United States threaten to complicate King charles diplomatic plans. The UK government is undergrowing pressure to cancel the King's planned state visit to the US later this year, after President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on countries

4:48 opposing his proposal to take control of Greenland. Allies have warned that the move risks serious damage to the NATO alliance. The UK was singled out for a ten percent tariff beginning in Februar, rising to twenty five percent from June after it sent a naval officer to take part in a NATO exercise in Greenland. The escalation is placed the Palace in an awkward position, with the monarch expected to remain politically neutral. Prime Minister Sukiya Stamer addressed the situation directly, saying our position on Greenland is very clear. It is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and its future is a matter for the Greenlanders and the Danes. We have also made clear that Arctic security matters for the whole of NATO and allies should all do more together to address the threat from Russia across different parts of the Arctic.

5:35 Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong. We will of course be pursuing this directly with the US administration. Critics say it would be difficult to justify the king proceeding with a state visit while the US president is openly threatening a takeover of Greenland. That said, in The Independent, political editor David Maddox cautions there is I say risk though Trump is not a man who takes being slighted lying down. If a royal state visit is canceled, he will take it personally and things could get much worse. While Donald Trump starred in The Apprentice, Karen Brady Starr of the UK version of The Apprentice said well, I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, and if not, I'm going to get shot, but I'm going to say it anyway.

6:22 Two huge fans of the show are His Majesty, the King and the Queen. They often ask for previews of the show they like to watch it. I think it would be great to host one of the tasks at a royal palace. So maybe not a task about the royals, but Buckingham Palace would be a great place to set a task more palace in just a moment. Prince William has reportedly been barred from riding his eastcooter within the grounds of his new family home after moving to Forest Lodge and wins A Great Park. The Prince of Wales and the Princess of Wales have relocated to Forest Lodge, a Grade to listed property set within the four thousand, eight hundred acre Windsor Great Park. Under long standing park rules, motorized transport is not permitted within most of the estate for safety and traffic management reasons. The family previously lived at Adelaide Cottage on the separate Windsor Castle estate, around four miles away. East scooters are allowed there, and William was frequently seen using his ten mile per hour scooter to travel around the six hundred and fifty five acre grounds and to Windsor Castle itself. He was in filmed riding it on television. Those days appear to be over park regulation state. Aside from cyclists, the roads are reserved for residents and estate workers. All other forms of motorized transport are not permitted within Windsor Grade Park. Examples include East scooters, harberboards one wheels. According to the Sun, a sourcer said, william used to love his East scooter to get around the castle as there was no ban. But

7:53 of course he's more than happy and prepared to adhere to the rules on East scooters in Windsor Great Park. Williams fondness for East scooters when Williams's fondness for East scooters has been well documented. He was photographed by a tourist riding one in Windsor two years ago, and was also filmed meeting actor Eugene Levy on his scooter during Levey's travel series The Reluctant Traveler. Speaking of the program, Williams said, it gets around quite nicely around here. It's quite fun. He added. We come and use the castle for work and for meetings and the sea people. I'm always late, so I thought this was the way to keep my meetings on time. He joked that he had not entirely solved the problem, saying I'm still regularly late Eugene. Anyway, I have managed to get myself a puncture this morning, which is quite amusing. That's why I was going so slowly up the road. While the band applies across much of Windsor Grade Park, sources suggest residents may still be able to use East scooters on roads immediately near their homes. However, major routes such as the Long Walk the two and a half mile avenue leading to Windsor Castle remained strictly off limits to bikes, scooters, rollerblades and skateboards. Anyone caught riding an ES scooter in prohibited areas could face a fine, penalty points in siege of the vehicle by police and the habit Like to email us addresses the Palasintrigue at gmail dot com.
