Prince William ready to bury Andrew scandal - even if it blows up the monarchy

0:00 Ah calorogus shark media now low and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Prince William is reportedly taking a tougher stance on these scandals surrounding his uncle Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and once the investigation into him resolved, before he eventually becomes king. Once singor aide said, William wants the matter dealt with openly through the legal system rather than quietly within the palace, a source tells Radar Online. From William's perspective, there cannot be any lingering questions hanging over the monarchy when his reign begins. He thinks the situation involving Andrew has dragged on far too long and that it needs to be confronted properly rather than quietly tolerated.

0:47 His views, the postponing difficult decisions only weakens the institution. William feels the royal family must face the problem head on, now, clear the air and make sure there is absolute transparency before he becomes king. He is very conscious that the public expects fairness and accountability, and he believes the monarchy has to reflect that standard. If serious concerns are raised about someone's behavior. Those issues should be examined openly through the proper legal processes, rather than handled quietly behind pallace walls. He thinks the monarchy cannot afford to appear protective of privilege or reluctant to face difficult truths. Drawing a clear boundary now and allowing the law to run its course is essential if he wants to inherit a crown that is trusted and respected. He knows Andrew is toxic for that brand and vision and wants nothing to do with him.

1:39 We continue to hear rumblings of an abdication, and insider tells Radar Online King Charles is going to step down. He is going to abdicate, and they are going to use the excuse of his health, which has been declining because the situation with Andrew has been very stressful and almost too much for him to bear. Charles knew more than he let on, and the whole family has been covering this up. They are all complicit. The whole royal machine is complicit in this from the top down. The situation is getting worse and worse by the day. Everybody knows Prince William has been ruthless from the beginning about removing his uncle. He is going to do nothing to protect Andrew. The Queen thought Andrew was just a naughty playboy, but the whole machine was complicit in covering him to protect their own brand. Our royal insider Deep Crown reminds Radar on lines inside him. Their source would do well to remember something rather fundamental. The moment Charles signs an instrument of abdication, he ceases to be sovereign. He becomes, in the eyes of the law, a private citizen. There is no royal equivalent of the presidential pardon, no mechanism by which a departing king can immunize himself or anyone else from the criminal liability. The Crown's protection does not transfer to the man who surrendered it. Our regency is a far more elegant solution. If protection is indeed the object, Les remains king in name and in law. The Crown's dignity theoretically intact. While William assumes the practical machinery of governance.

3:08 The sovereign doesn't disappear into private life. He simply steps back from active duties citing health. It has precedent, It has constitutional cover and crucially it preserves whatever shelter the institution can still provide. Abdication is a door that locks behind you a regency leaves it open A wool chair. College was reportedly cleared of pupils during a recent visit by William Kate and their children, fueling further speculation about where Prince George may attend school next. According to reports, the family was seeing visiting Marlborough College on Sunday. Witnesses told The Daily Mail that pupils were asked to leave the main square of the campus shortly before the royal family arrived. One source said students were ushered away from the area until they could not remain outside. The report said many pupils were surprised when the Prince and Princess of Wales then appeared, arriving by car walking through the square with their children. The citing has prompted a new discussion about Prince George's future education. The Prince is currently twelve years old and in his final year at Lambruk Prep school. For several years, speculation has centered on whether George might attend Eton College, the school his father attended. However, the visit to Marbora has revived suggestions that he could instead follow in the footsteps of his mother. Kate attended Marlboro College after transferring from her previous school. She has spoken in the past about experiencing bullying before moving schools.

4:35 Other members of the wider royal family have also attended Marlbora, including Princess Eugenie and Catherine's sister Pepper Middleton. In December twenty twenty five, the Wilchare Gazette and Harold reported that speculation about Marbora had intensified following reports in the Telegraph. At the time, Telegraph columnist Sophia money Counts said a source had suggested a decision might already have been made. She wrote, all connected friend that called me last week he's going to Marlboro, she said, authoritatively. They've sent letters out to the parents. She meant, Prince George. After many years of debate, Prince George will reportedly go to Marlborough College in ex September like his mother, aunt and uncle before him, and those with children in the same house have been quietly alerted. Money Counts added a note of caution, writing she could be wrong, my friend. This rumor mill has been churning for some time now, after all, with Eaton and various others thrown in the mix. But she isn't often wrong and treats gossip as solemnly as Oscar Wilde.

5:32 So Marlboro it may well be Riddyan Llewellen, a former headmaster at the college who now works as an educational consultant, previously told The Telegraph it's well documented that Catherine did not have a happy time at down House, and having transferred to Marlborough, she flourished that works strongly in Marlbora's favor. I also think that she'd liked to educate the three children in the same school. Llewellyn also noted that while Eaton remains one of the most prestigious schools in the world, Marlboro could offer a slightly lower profile option. He said, Eden is obviously the most prestigious school in the world, and keeping their heads slightly further under the parapet with Marlboro perhaps makes sense more palace in just a moment.

6:19 Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi, the husband of Princess Beatrice, has been spending time on Fisher Island off the coast of Miami, an exclusive resort destination known for its privacy and luxury. The island is accessible only by ferry or private yacht and requires visitors to pass strict security checks before arriving. The resort describes itself on its website as an indulgent retreat for those who appreciate the ultimate in privacy and exclusivity. Images shared on Napelli Mozzi's Instagram story appear to show him visiting what looks like a construction site, along with photographs of nearby buildings on the island. The property developer works for the company Banned, which specializes in high end residential development, leading to speculation that the visit may be connected to professional work. There was no sign of Princess Beatrice in the images posted online, and it is not known whether she is traveling with him. Princess Beatrice has made relatively few public appearances recently. She was seen once in central London earlier this year, walking through Mayfair with her husband while the pair carried takeaway coffees. Her sister, Princess Eugenie, was also spotted in London earlier this month with her husband Jack Brooksbank their mother Sarah Ferguson. However, has not been seen publicly since the autumn of last year.

7:37 The Duchess of York was last photographed on September twenty fifth, when she was seen leaving Royal Lodge by car. Princess Anne has drawn praise from Royal watchers after sharing a lighthearted moment with Scotland's rugby captain during the sixth Nations Tournament. The Princess Royal, who has served as patron of the Scottish rugby Union for nearly three decades, presented the Old Alliance Trophy to Scotland captain she owned Tuipoluto and now I murdered that name. Following Scotland's victory over France. As the twenty nine year old rugby player approached to receive the trophy, both he and the Princess Royal jokingly opened their arms as if about to hug, a playful reference to an awkward moment between them during a previous match.

8:18 The pair quickly burst into laughter before Princess Anne followed Royal protocol, shaking his hand and exchanging a few words with the player. The moment appeared to reference an earlier encounter on February fourteenth, when tuip Poluto had attempted to hug the princess while receiving the Calcutta Cup after Scotland defeated England. At the time, Anne stepped slightly back and instead placed a hand on his shoulder before speaking with him. During their latest meeting, the Princess Royal seemed to acknowledge the earlier moment with good humor. Video of the exchange was later shared on social media by Scottish Rugby with the caption this close to a hug. The interaction quickly attracted positive reactions online, with many royal fans praising the princess for her wit and relaxed manner.
