Prostitutes At The Palace

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I'm your host, Francis. As you've noticed over the last couple of weeks, we've been doing a bonus episode every day to cover all the news that's been coming out of Buckingham Palace on the Andrew fallout. With all the overwhelming support you've been giving us, we're going to continue these episodes as there is a lot of news to cover and will continue to do so, and if there's a quiet day, we'll just stick to our original one episode. But for now, enjoy two episodes of Palace Intrigue every day Monday through Friday. On the weekends you'll get new episodes of our Crown and Controversy series Prince Andrew, as well as the original series. Plus you have Palace Weekly on Sundays and Deep Crown for subscribers. There's a lot going on and thank you very much for all your support.

1:00 Moving on with today's afternoon edition of Palace Intrigue, a new report claims Andrew mount Batten Windsor brought prostitutes into Buckingham Palace for years and that his mother, Queen Elizabeth knew but chose not to act. The allegations come from royal historian Andrew Lowney, author of entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York, who told news nations Paul A Frolic that palace staff raised repeated concerns about Andrew's conduct, only to be warned to stay silent. Lowney said he brought him prostitutes to bugging and palace for years it was done on a regular basis. People who work there complained to people in command, but nothing was done. The security that complained were told, if you would like to go back on the beat in Brixton, you had that choice, but otherwise you keep quiet. Of course the Queen knew, she was informed, but he was her favorite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug. Until now, the historian said, former palace employees and government officials have begun coming forward with new information about what went on behind closed doors. They are no longer scared to talk or come out and tell the world what really happened, now that Andrew has been removed from power and no longer protected by the Queen. Royal inside a deep Crown commented, let's be very clear about something Elizabeth was nobody's full She was one of the most astute political operators this country has ever seen, a woman who navigated seven decades of constitutional crises, families, scandals, and shifting public sentiment with remarkable skill. The idea that she was some naive mother protecting her wayward son out

2:32 of blind maternal devotion is patronizing nonsense. If she knew what Andrew was doing, and I'm not conceding that point, her calculations would have been far more complex than simple favoritism. You don't have prostitutes regularly entering Buckingham Palace without a systemic breakdown in protocols. Security officers don't get threatened with reassignment unless there's an institutional decision to suppress information. This would have required coordination at multiple levels, which makes the Queen knew and did nothing narrative rather too convenient. But here's what I will say. The Palace has always operated on a principle of containing scandal rather than confronting it head on, and that approach has repeatedly failed the institution.

3:14 Andrew is reportedly digging in his hills as he prepares to leave Royal Large, making fresh demands before agreeing to vacate the Windsor residence following King Charles's decision to strip him of his royal titles and beginner viction proceedings. Andrew is said to be insisting on an appropriate home and a rota of staff fit for the son, however, debased of a queen and the father of two royal princesses. According to The Daily Mail, the disgraced royal is allegedly demanding a personal cook, housekeeper and secretary cum butler, as well as gardeners. He also reportedly wants the right to roam on the grounds of his next home, refusing to be confined to coarters. Andrew has been banned from riding on Windsor Castle's grounds to keep him out of the public view, sources say, and negotiations over his next residence, believed to be a smaller property on the Sandringham State, have become increasingly tense. One insider told the paper Andrew will certainly go quietly and allow the royal family to save face, but he has conditions and he isn't prepared to give much ground on them. The former Duke of York is also said to be seeking guarantees that his financial support went disappear once Prince William becomes king. For now, his move from Royal Lodge remains unresolved and far from quiet.

4:26 Our royal inside a Deep Crown tells us William isn't bound by any arrangement Charles makes with Andrew constitutionally or practically. The moment William becomes king, he controls the Duchy of Lancaster income and makes his own decisions about who receives what. And given William's views on streamlining the monarchy and his personal feelings about the damage Andrew has done to the institution, I wouldn't bet a penny on those guarantees holding Andrew seems to think he can negotiate his way into permanent security, but he's fundamentally misreading the situation. William has watched his uncle drag the family through s andle after scandal, and he's got a long memory. Charles may feel some fraternal obligation to keep Andrew housed and funded, but William he'll do what serves the crown, and Andrew should prepare himself for that reality. Royal expert Phil Dampiers has a new summons from a US Congressional committee as Andrew worried, Dampier tells the son, just when you think it can't get any worse for Prince Andrew, it seemingly does. He's had his title stripped away from him by the King, and now he's got this summons from a congressional committee in the States. Dampier added that while Andrew is unlikely to be forced to appear before the committee, the situation underscores his growing isolation. I don't think he's actually been ordered or can be compelled to go. I certainly don't think it's likely he's going to travel to the United States.

5:48 I know that Andrew mount Batton Windsor, as he now is, is terrified that if he goes abroad he might be arrested and extradited to the States. That's about as likely as me flying to the moon, to be honest, Sarah Ferguson is said to be panicking and deeply worried about what lies ahead for her disgraced former husband. According to The Daily Mail, Sarah has been confiding in friends about her fears that Andrew could be targeted as renewed scrutiny surrounds Epstein's network and the Royal's role in it. The source said they have been heard having some pretty intense conversations about what is going on. Sarah in particular, is panicking about what comes next, and she is not in a good place. She fears being caught in the crosshairs. Is worried about herself and her and Andrew's daughter's Beatrice and new Genie, but she is particularly fearful for Andrew, as she knows he was at the center of the Epstein scandal. She has talked about dark forces potentially targeting him.

6:43 The sources added that she's doing everything she can to shield her family, though there's a growing sense that events are beyond her control. Andrew, now known simply as Andrew mount Batton Windsom, has maintained his innocence and denied all allegations relating to Epstein, but the royal family's efforts to distance themselves from him, including removing his titles and evicting him from a royal lodge, have left him increasingly isolated more palace in just a moment, a curious royal website update has raised eyebrows after Andrew was once again listed as the Duke of York on the official line of Succession Page, despite having been formally stripped of that title.

7:23 The Palace has not commented on why the former title has reappeared, leaving observers puzzled. Some suggest it might be a technical oversight on the website, while others view it as an awkward contradiction to the King's decisive move to remove his brother's royal privileges. When we last checked, the succession page's phrasing was at number seven Princess Lilabert of Sussex. Eight the Duke of York. No name mentioned, just the Duke of York. Nine Princess Beatrice, Missus Eduardo Mappelli Mozzi. Street names continue to be a storyline in the village of Hellesden population eleven thousand. The residents of Prince Andrew's Road have found themselves living with a name that now makes many uncomfortable. Shelle Gurney, a council of representing the area, says it's not so simple. It would be very difficult to obtain a consensus of all residents, she explained, noting that every one of the one hundred and seven households on the street and adjoining Cul de Sac would need to agree. My emails clearly indicate that this would not be achieved even if residents managed to unite. Gurney warned that the effort would come with significant disruption. Every homeowner would need to update deeds, utilities, insurance, passports, driving licenses, voter rolls, tax forms, and even the microchips identifying their pets. Ironically, the street wasn't actually named after the disgraced royal at all.

8:41 It commemorates his grandfather, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, who died in nineteen forty four and remains a largely forgotten figure in British royal history. Still, for the people of Hellesden, that nuance has done little to ease the embarrassment of living on a road named Prince Andrews. Elsewhere, reminders of Andrew's former status ac quired, disappearing in London's Fitzrovia district. The Duke of York pub removed a sign featuring his likeness earlier this year, and abroad, questions are being raised in Canada, where Prince Andrew Island in Ontario's where Tonabe River may soon be renamed. The island lies within Selwyn Township, home to Lakefield College School, once proud to count the young Prince among its students, but now even there, the mayor has confirmed that the council will take up the matter at its next meeting. There you have it. I hope you're enjoying this extra bonus episode of Palace Intrigue, and we will continue to bring these to you every day Monday through Friday, for the foreseeable future.
