0:03 Caloroga, Shark Media, The Loo and Welcome to Palace Intrigue Game your host Mark Francis. In entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York, author Andrew Lowney paints a portrait of Prince Andrew not just as a man disgraced by association with Jeffrey Epstein, but as a deeply entitled, out of touch figure whose unchecked behavior, both personal and professional, has left a crator beneath the crown. The nickname Randy Andy, first coined at Gordonstown, may have once sounded like roguish, tabloid banter, but Lowney's account suggests it belies something far darker.

0:46 From porn stars to politicians, actresses to aristocrats, Andrew's escapades span decades. During a two thousand and six diplomatic visit to Thailand, hotel staff reportedly witnessed more than forty women cycle through the Princess Suite. In one we can, a former model recalls being swept to mustique for what she thought was romance, only to be discarded after two days of what she described as kinky requests. Back at home, staff recall predatory advances, crude comments, and a reputation so infamous that new employees were warned to avoid him altogether. Even Messus's hired for professional sessions were allegedly propositioned a constant sex pest from the start, said one therapist, who was allegedly subjected to relentless commentary about her body.

As UK Trade envoy, he allegedly used his royal status to promote business ventures while indulging in lavish travel, extravagant accommodations, and a parade of social events that often feared into farce.

1:52 Diplomats dubbed him his buffoon Highness, while colleagues remembered his disregard for briefings, penchant for off colored jokes, and believe that rules simply didn't apply it to him. His conduct toward staff was reportedly brutal, from berating employees over minor infractions to demanding maids fetch him from four floors below to open his curtains. Andrew's disdain for those beneath him were so pronounced that some courtiers compared him unfavorably to Margaret Thatcher at her worst. Meanwhile, rumors swell about compromat video evidence potentially held by foreign powers courtesy of Epstein, who allegedly used Andrew's vulnerabilities as a pawn in a global game of leverage. Intelligence sources have long speculated that Russian agents may have obtained compromising material on the Prince. Still, Andrew's downfall is not pinned on a single moment, but on years, if not decades, of unchecked excess, entitlement and arrogance.

2:52 Former lovers call him a disappointment. Colleagues call him a liability. Even Prince Charles now King was said to have tried and failed to block Andrew from becoming Trade Envoy, calling the appointment a disaster waiting to happen. Lowney concludes that Andrew's impunity was not just tolerated, but protected. The Palace deployed lawyers, pr operatives and threats to shield him from scrutiny. Staff were bound by NDA's media with Stonewall. Yet the dam is breaking if the unconditional truth has ever released. One palace inside her told Lowney the British public would try to impeach the royal family. Entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York is due out August fourteenth.

3:33 Sarah Ferguson is also well discussed in the book, including her crush on John F. Kennedy Junior, whom she nicknamed number nine on her private league table of crushes. Texas businessman Steve Wyatt held the top spot. After learning Diana had met him briefly, Fergie fumed, he's mine. Why can't you just leave him alone? Despite never actually meeting John John, she reportedly spoke of him endlessly, collected photos, and constructed an elaborate fantasy around their imagine relationship, But the bulk of entitled is less romcom more financial horror story. After her split from Andrew in nineteen ninety two, Sarah plunged into extravagance spending with no apparent concern for reality. A so called self ketering summer rental near Khan came with a full entourage to Scotland yard offices, a wine delivery service, and five extra phone lines, including one by the pool.

4:26 Bills such as the fourteen hundred pounds owed to her home electricity provider, were ignored. I'm not interested, she said. The book traces a surreal lifestyle of opulence and delusion. Horses bought for Olympic dreams that entered in tragedy, nursing home deals that blurred charity with personal gain, and lavish global travel underwritten by its sponsors, suitors or blind optimism, whether staying in presidential suites or receiving cosmetic injections at Portuguese spas. Fergie lived large or while claiming I'm a separated mother of two largely responsible for the finances of them family. She was, however, far from broke. Analysts projected the nearly three million pounds in revenue from the Budgy the Little Helicopter merchandise, yet her bank required permission for her to sign a check, and bills from hairdressers to spirit guides went unpaid. She opened shopping centers in Austria, advertised cranberry juice on TV, and signed with weight watchers for five hundred thousand pounds, all in an attempt to clear debts that ballooned to four million pounds. Her household employed dozens from dog walkers to a flower arranger, while her butler iced watercress at four thirty am. Mills fit for Henry the Eighth was served nightly. Then binnd One dismissed staff as summarized at best, she just doesn't want to know. The Queen stepped in repeatedly, until in nineteen ninety six the Palace publicly declared Sarah's finances were no longer its concern. Andrew eventually helped negotiate settlements, but even friends were left out of pocket. One lent one hundred thousand pounds for a holiday, receiving just five thousand pounds back.

5:59 I thought it was a gift, Sarah insisted. When times got tough, Fergi didn't downsize, She went on holiday. By the time Entitled reaches its closing chapters, the Duchess is working shopping channels, fielding lawsuits, and still dodging bills, including fifty one thousand pounds at suffrages and sixty five hundred for misused royal male privileges. One staff member admitted their only job was to pick up after the dog. Another assisted him. The images of a woman trapped in a fantasy of wealth and royalty, unable or unwilling to face the real world. Fergie sang for her supper, cracked off colour jokes, and performed when Harry met Sally impressions at parties. Behind it all in security loomed. If there's one thing entitled makes clear, it's this. Sarah Ferguson's greatest role may have been playing the Duchess of York, long after the curtain should have fallen more powers in just a moment.

6:54 Richard Eden tweeted, happy birthday to the actress who married into the hashtag Royal family, has proved a great success and is loved by all she is, of course, Sophie Winkleman, also known as Lady Frederick Windsor, who turns forty five, Happy birthday, Big Suits. While the Royal Family made no public gesture to mark Meghan's birthday, her in a Circle was full of glowing praise. Among those leading the tributes was Abigail Spencer, Meghan's former Suits co star and close confidant, who posted as glorious as the day I met you Champagne in human form, a creature unlike any other. Thank you for being a sister in this life and beyond. Words can't capture from the rooftops. So grateful for your life at Meghan, Thanks for saving mine. Love Abs. The pair share of birthday and recently appeared together in Meghan's Netflix lifestyle series With Love Megan Kelly McKee Zavstim, co founder of Alliance and Mums, also posted a heartfelt birthday message alongside a sunlit photo of the two friends.

In The Royalist, Tom Sykes points out that Meghan did get a wonderful birthday message that appears to be from herself. Sites rites and Instagram praising Meghan Markle's magic touch and saying she is the woman behind it all. That appeared on her Business

8:25 as Ever page totally feels weird and inauthentic. The caption, accompanying a new black and white photo of Meghan looked rich in her fancy garden, states celebrating the woman behind it all, she pours her heart, vision, a magic touch into every detail, and today we raise a glass to her. Happy birthday to our founder. If I didn't confess that I think this was actually written by Meghan or an in house bot forced to watch the whole of With Love Meghan and then regurgitate mechanisms, I would not be sharing my truth. One giveaway is the addiction that this mysterious, anonymous yet surprisingly well informed well wisher uses to praise Megan while you can pour your heart and sold into a project. We don't typically talk about pouring our vision into something. And when was the last time you heard someone say I poured my magic touch into that. It's a telltale sign of a vintage Megan word salad. Loads of lovely words, all telegraphing the right vibe of empowerment and optimism, squished together with reckless abandon, a big fruit rainbow of verbiage gone slightly awry and doused with a ton of maple syrup.
