Show Notes
Transcript

On this afternoon’s Palace Intrigue, Prince Edward is reportedly the latest royal to lose patience with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, amid claims Easter plans were disrupted by Andrew’s housing shuffle on the Sandringham estate. We also look at the Daily Mail’s extraordinary report on Sarah Ferguson allegedly sofa-surfing, cycling through three phones, and feeling increasingly rattled, plus new claims that she is being warned off another memoir.

Then: Radar wonders whether Andrew has a mystery woman in his life, local residents reportedly turn his Norfolk exile into a tourist attraction, and royal watchers continue dissecting the Easter guest list as Princess Anne appears to warmly welcome Peter Phillips’ future stepdaughter into the fold.

00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:13.720
Intrig I am your host, Mark Francis. Prince Edward is

3
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:16.160
reportedly the latest member of the royal family to become

4
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:20.039
frustrated with Andrew mount Batton, Windsor. Amid claims Andrew delayed

5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.239
leaving Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate and disrupted Easter

6
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.359
plans for Edward and Sophie. According to Radar Online, Edward

7
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:29.239
had planned to stay at wood Farm over Easter but

8
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.159
found the property still occupied as Andrew continued moving between

9
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.719
wood Farm and Marsh Farm. One source claimed Andrew was

10
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.079
evicted from Royal Lodge at Windsor but now has two

11
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.679
homes at his disposal. He's just going back and forth

12
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.320
between wood Farm and Marsh Farm. It's got to be

13
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.240
sorted as Edward and Sophie like to use wood Farm.

14
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.359
Another source that said Andrew has been dragging his hills.

15
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.000
He could have moved by now, but he has been reluctant.

16
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.759
Edward has had a quiet word with his brother. Rada

17
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.799
also claims that Edward was the first member of the

18
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.320
family to go and speak to Andrew directly since his

19
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.920
removal from Royal Lodge earlier this year. One source said

20
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.079
Prince Edward was the first and only member of the

21
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.920
royal family to visit. Andrew has been ignored by everyone

22
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.120
since he left Royal Lodge, including his daughters and ex wife,

23
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:16.159
who have stayed away. In The Daily Mail, Alison Bouschaf

24
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.120
reports on Sarah Ferguson as being on a secret sofa

25
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.799
surfing world tour. Fergie has apparently been staying at the

26
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.079
homes of a succession of discreet, wealthy friends and remains

27
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.599
in contact with a number of close allies through FaceTime calls.

28
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.000
And the word they use to describe her is disheveled.

29
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.879
She hasn't been taking care of her roots or keeping

30
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.519
up with a botox, says one with a grimace. The

31
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:40.959
report goes on to quote a friend as saying Fergie

32
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.680
really is low. She seems nervy. She has three phones

33
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.120
and she goes cycling through them because she's afraid that

34
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.879
she might be being tracked. She's convinced that a lot

35
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.040
of people wish her harm. She and Andrew are on

36
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.560
speaking terms, but not talking that much. It is almost

37
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.439
as if they have run away from each other. She

38
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.000
is bobbing around with friends. We are told of another

39
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.480
friends saying she's been asking how am I going to

40
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.040
get through this? She complains a lot about being broke,

41
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.120
although I don't know if that is broken the sense

42
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.080
that your eye would understand it. Her friends have been

43
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.360
joking that they wouldn't be surprised to find her selling

44
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.199
her old handbags on vinted. Ferguson is reportedly being urged

45
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.479
not to pursue another royal memoir amid suggestions that any

46
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.840
attempt to revisit past controversies could do more harm than good.

47
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.280
One publishing insider tells Radar Online there has definitely been

48
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.759
discussion about whether she might try to pursue what Summer

49
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.280
calling a royal revenge plot through another book, But the

50
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.719
guidance she is receiving is very direct, don't bother because

51
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.240
it is simply not worth it for her in the

52
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.960
long run. Any potential financial gain or short term attention

53
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.080
would likely be outweighed by the reputational risks, especially given

54
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.479
the level of scrutiny she is currently facing. The argument,

55
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.800
according to the report, is that the environment has changed

56
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.960
significantly since Ferguson's first memoirs. When insiders said her first

57
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.360
memoir came out during a period when Royal tells were

58
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.319
incredibly in demand, but warned that a new version now

59
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.080
would generate far greater controversy. There is also said to

60
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.599
be concerned that any attempt to explain or revisit difficult

61
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.280
chapters of her past would be met with intense skepticism.

62
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.319
One source claimed there have been occasions where her public

63
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.919
statements have not entirely aligned with information that surfaced later,

64
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.080
adding that any new memoir would be scrutinized extremely closely.

65
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.479
Radar also suggests Ferguson's more recent shift into fiction has

66
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.159
helped reposition her public image and that returning to autobiography

67
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.199
could undo that work. When Inside It said her move

68
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.719
into fiction has allowed her to reshape how she is seen,

69
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.199
and warned that a personal book tied to current controversies

70
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:47.120
risks undoing much of that progress. Does Andrew have a

71
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.560
new woman in his life. According to a report in

72
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.000
Radar Online, fresh speculation is swirling around Andrew after claims

73
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.719
he was seen arriving at his new Norfolk home with

74
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.400
an unidentified woman in the back of his vehicle. The

75
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.039
reports an Andrew was driving himself toward Marsh Farm on

76
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.639
the Sandringham estate, accompanied by a protection officer in one

77
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.840
of his dogs, when a woman was allegedly spotted seated

78
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.919
in the rear of the range rover a source tall radar.

79
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.159
There is a real sense of intrigue building around Andrew Windsor,

80
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.959
and the suggestion he has been smuggling a mystery woman

81
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.560
into his new home points to a level of secrecy

82
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.720
that mirrors the wider circumstances he now finds himself. Then,

83
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.519
given the scrutiny that continues to surround him, the idea

84
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.040
of a new woman being discreetly brought into Marsh Farmers

85
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.319
intensifying speculation and raising further questions about what is happening

86
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.839
behind closed doors. Another insider said Andrew is clearly attempting

87
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.639
to carve out a more private existence, but the perception

88
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.000
that he is having to smuggle someone into the property

89
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.759
only amplifies the sense of controversy that continues to surround him.

90
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.480
Even if the intention is discretion, the optics of it

91
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.839
inevitably fuel further scrutiny and reinforce the narrative that he

92
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.600
cannot escape the attention and questions that follow him. Andrew's

93
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.240
temporary residence on the sunde Ringham State has reportedly become

94
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.720
an unexpected tourist attraction, drawing curious visitors to the area

95
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.040
amid ongoing scrutiny surrounding the former royal. He has been

96
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.360
staying at wood Farm in Norfolk since February following his

97
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.560
arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He has

98
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.439
denied any wrongdoing and remains under investigation. According to reports,

99
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.399
a steady stream of visitors has been traveling to the

100
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.079
quiet village of Wolferton in the hope of catching a

101
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.759
glimpse on the property. Local residents have described an increase

102
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.560
in traffic, with some people stopping to take photographs or

103
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.519
film the area. One source said there has been a

104
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.160
noticeable surge in visitors treating the area almost like a spectacle,

105
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.439
which has led to the crown Ghul's nickname taking hold locally.

106
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.199
Another added it reflects a kind of morbid curiosity where

107
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.240
the seriousness of the allegations is being overshadowed by a

108
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.959
desire to witness the fallout up close. Residents have expressed

109
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.399
frustration at the disruption, noting that the roads are not

110
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.040
designed for large numbers of visitors and that the area

111
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.399
is typically Interest has been further heightened by local tour routs.

112
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.759
A land Rover safari experience on the Sandringham estate, priced

113
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.199
at approximately two hundred and eleven dollars per person, now

114
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.279
passes near both Wood Farm and Marsh Farm, the latter

115
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.639
expected to become Andrew's longer term residence once renovation work

116
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:26.000
is complete. More powacing just a moment, Royal watchers continue

117
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.040
to analyze the Easter scorecard. Princess Anne and the wider

118
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.480
royal family appeared to offer a very public show of

119
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.560
warmth to a new face at Easter, as Peter Phillip's

120
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.720
future step daughter Georgina Spurling made her first appearance alongside

121
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.240
the family at Windsor. Georgina thirteen, attended the Eastern Mattins

122
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.439
service at Saint George's Chapel with her mother, Harriet Sperling,

123
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.480
who is due to marry Princess Anne's son Peter on

124
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.480
June sixth, in what is expected to be a private ceremony.

125
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:56.600
According to the body language expert Invah Honigmand, Georgina looked

126
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.399
understandably cautious as she stepped into such a high profile

127
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.279
family satting Honigund said, as she stands with others, she

128
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:08.199
expresses some involuntary signs of tension. Her raised shoulders signify caution,

129
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.120
and the lightly clenched fists show that she's feeling a

130
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.240
little anxious, as if ready to defend herself. Tucking her

131
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.360
hair behind her ear, and generally touching her face all

132
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.879
indicate that she wants to be liked. Those are self

133
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.399
soothing gestures, so she doesn't want to be nervous. But

134
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.560
the expert said the atmosphere around Georgina appeared notably warm,

135
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.279
particularly from Princess Anne and the younger members of the family,

136
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.920
suggesting a deliberate effort to put her at ease. Honigmund

137
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.040
said their casual, friendly smiles and moves show them to

138
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.319
be feeling at ease and wanting Georgina herself to feel

139
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.399
at ease. They all communicate with her gently and warmly,

140
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.079
keen to welcome her to the fold, especially when Prince

141
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.319
Anne greets the family. The kindness is evident, and she

142
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.879
noted one particularly telling detail in Anne's manner, saying the

143
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.319
princess makes a point of speaking to the young lady,

144
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.600
facing her directly and making eye contact, not looking down

145
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.839
her nose is Georgina. In fact, Anne herself tries to

146
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.519
make a good impression, her fingers touching her face and hair.

147
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.560
The princess is seen using grooming gestures which show a

148
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.480
design to be welcomed by the newcomer. Mum. Harriet Spurling

149
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.720
has already been increasingly visible within royal adjacent events, and

150
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.439
her relationship with Peter Phillips appears to have been accepted

151
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.240
with little fuss. And there you have it. If you'd
