Calorogus Shark mediaw WE and welcome to Palasantry. I am
2
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.279
your host, Mark Francis. Sources speaking to Rob Shooter's Shooter
3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.760
Scoop suggests Sarah Ferguson could command a substantial fee if
4
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.920
she chose to tell her side of the royal story.
5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:23.800
According to one insider, Ferguson could receive as much as
6
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.079
half a million dollars for a tell all account, but
7
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.960
any sense move would come with serious consequences. The source said,
8
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.200
she knows exactly what she could sell, but she also
9
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.359
knows the price wouldn't just be paid by her. Nothing's
10
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.439
been threatened outright, but everyone understands there are lines you
11
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.520
don't cross. Ferguson is described as being in a holding
12
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.200
pattern as she considers her future, with another source saying
13
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.200
she's looking at all her options. The days of multiple
14
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.640
homes and lavish living along gone. She's thinking practically now.
15
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.000
She's not panicking. She's watching, waiting and figuring out her
16
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:01.039
next chapter. Jesmind Carey writes in The Express, if she
17
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.240
were to write a tell old book, it would cause
18
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.120
more harm than good. Yes, she may receive a massive
19
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.040
paycheck in the mail, but at what cost? Beatrice and
20
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.879
Eugenie may struggle to trust their mom if she puts
21
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.680
pen to paper, and they themselves could then suffer as
22
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.319
the royal family may be less inclined to invite the
23
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.519
princesses to family events out of concern that things may
24
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.920
be relayed to Sarah at her writing desk. Would Sarah
25
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.760
really risk damaging the relationships she has with her daughters
26
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.239
and the relationships her daughters have with their royal relatives. Meanwhile,
27
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.760
attention has also turned to Andrew when Inside has said
28
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.280
the Middle East is being considered seriously, explaining over there
29
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.920
he's treated like royalty, as respect, discretion, and none of
30
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.599
the public hostility he faces at home. Another source echoed
31
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.640
that view, adding the Middle East office security, luxury, and
32
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.400
the ability to live quietly while still being treated with deference.
33
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.200
A photograph released as part of the Epstein files has
34
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.760
revealed a disturbing detail involving Andrew. In the background of
35
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.280
an image taken inside Jeffrey Epstein's New York home, a
36
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.400
puppet bearing a likeness of Andrew can be seen placed
37
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.599
on a sofa behind Gilaine Maxwell. The puppet is significant
38
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.319
because Virginia Jeffrey previously alleged it was used by Andrew
39
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.599
to touch her inappropriately. Another of the newly released images
40
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.240
from the Epstein files appears to show Andrew posing with
41
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.639
five women whose faces have been redacted, with Gilene Maxwell
42
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.439
standing behind them. According to The Express, the photograph was
43
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.000
allegedly taken in the saloon at Sandringham House, a property
44
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.560
long associated with the late Queen and described as one
45
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.919
of her favorite royal residences. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told
46
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.759
The Express King Charles and Prince William Will have been
47
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.560
expecting further embarrassments to emerge, featuring Andrew and possibly his
48
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.840
ex wife Sarah Ferguson. This is certainly a bizarre image.
49
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.879
Andrew's behavior and lack of any repentance will undoubtedly have
50
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:02.240
infuriated Prince William and King Charles tells Heat World Andrew
51
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.080
has become completely fixated on Kate. He keeps going on
52
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.479
about how she's a silent assassin who's been quietly pulling
53
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.879
the strings and whipping William into a frenzy about him.
54
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.159
He's absolutely certain that major decisions about his future have
55
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.759
been run past her and William. But instead of blaming
56
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.520
William for getting him forced out, He's turned his wrath
57
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.800
on Kate. He has this warped belief that William is
58
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.719
being controlled by her, that she's whispering in his ear
59
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.520
and turning him against his own blood. He's saying she
60
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.280
poisoned at the well against him. What makes it sting
61
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.560
even more for Andrew is that they used to be
62
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.680
on perfectly good terms. She was always very polite and warm.
63
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.800
He believed she genuinely liked him inside. It says, now
64
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:46.520
she won't give him the time of day, and he's
65
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.479
seeing it as her deliberately freezing him out and using
66
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.439
her influence to make sure he stays sidelined. He's now
67
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.759
lashing out and telling anyone who will listen that she's
68
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.599
the reason he's been booted from his own family. He's
69
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.960
vowing to get back at her, which is not going
70
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.840
to go down well with William when he finds out,
71
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.039
and the source says that if he has to endure
72
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.960
the rest of his life at best the family clown,
73
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.000
then his adamant to paint Kate as the alternate pantomime villain.
74
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.920
Andrew is absolutely seething and looking for someone to blame,
75
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.279
and in his mind, Kate has become the perfect villain.
76
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.560
He's convinced himself she's far more powerful than she lets on,
77
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.879
that she's quietly steering decisions behind the scenes while maintaining
78
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.240
this serene public image. He's a very bitter man. True
79
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.800
to form, Andrew refuses to accept that his own actions
80
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.120
landed him where he is now. Instead his bad mouthing Kate,
81
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.240
and while there are still a few people within the
82
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.959
palace that speak to him, he's been venting to them
83
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.639
and warning them not to be fooled by her nice
84
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.560
girl act. He resents that Kate has emerged as this central,
85
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.399
respective figure while he's been pushed into total irrelevance. Our
86
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.360
source says, in his mind, she's stolen the authority in
87
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.439
standing he believes should have remained with him as the
88
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.800
queen's son. However, as she celebrates a y in remission
89
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.560
from cancer in January and continues to play a major
90
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.240
role in shaping the future of the monarchy, it's been
91
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.160
made crystal clear that Kate is a force not to
92
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.839
be threatened, and we're told that the busy mum wife
93
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.399
and Queen in waiting is now avoiding her uncle in
94
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.399
law altogether, as both she and William count down the
95
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.000
days until he's thrust into relative obscurity. From Kate's side,
96
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.519
she's simply not engaging with Andrew. She's by no means
97
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.560
on some campaign against him, but she's naturally disgusted by
98
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.040
his behavior and agrees with the King's decision. It's very
99
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.199
awkward for her, so she's avoiding Andrew and saying she's
100
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.319
glad he's out of her hair. Andrew is so narcissistic
101
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.240
he can't understand why she would want to distance herself.
102
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.759
Instead of having a shread of self awareness, he's turned
103
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.600
it into this big sob story, where as usual, he's
104
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.920
the big victim or palasy. Just a moment, it may
105
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.920
be a lonely Christmas for Andrew. Royal Lodge, the thirty roomhouse,
106
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.480
once elaborately decorated for the festive season, is reportedly marked
107
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.120
this year by noticeably restrained decorations. A Christmas tree has
108
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.040
been put up, but there are no additional trees in
109
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.319
the bedrooms once used by a princess Beatrice and Eugenie,
110
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.759
neither of whom is expected to be present on Christmas Day.
111
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.839
There has also been no staff Christmas party, and the
112
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.079
familiar joint York family Christmas cards are no longer being sent.
113
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.800
Ferguson is understood to be signing her cards alone, including
114
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.279
handwritten messages to senior royals that express regret and carry
115
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.759
the line I hope we'll meet again and inside it
116
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.879
told the Daily Mail there are friends that go a
117
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.800
long way back and have stuck with them. There is
118
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.519
to be some sort of party for their last remaining
119
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.800
friends over Christmas. I'm not sure they've labeled it a
120
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.399
farewell party, but it very much looks like a last hurrah.
121
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.759
The Mail adds. Perhaps that explains the large alcohol delivery
122
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.000
this week, which is unlikely to be for Andrew, who
123
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:52.279
has been a teetotal for years. Christmas itself is expected
124
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:55.480
to be quiet, with access to Windsor Castle kitchens reportedly withdrawn.
125
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.759
Andrew may once again need to make alternative arrangements for
126
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.160
his meal. He is, how however, expected to watch the
127
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.600
King's Christmas broadcast at three o'clock and attend a local
128
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.519
church service, either at the Royal Chapel of All Saints
129
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:11.279
or via a private visit from the chaplain. The couple's
130
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.839
daughters remain distant. Princess Eugenie is expected to spend Christmas
131
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.759
in Portugal with her family, while Princess Beatrice is said
132
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:19.360
to eat weighing whether to stay at home in the
133
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.920
Cotswolds or accept an invitation to Sandringham for her uncle,
134
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.600
the King. According to Rada online, Andrew now treats a
135
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.800
collection of teddy bears as his primary companions. A source
136
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.480
said he treats the bears as if they're real, insisting
137
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.639
that the move from Royal Lodge will be difficult for
138
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.639
them because, in his view, it's their home too. Being
139
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.800
forced to move seems to have triggered a full blown meltdown.
140
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.000
He keeps insisting the bears won't handle the change, almost
141
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.959
as if he's projecting his own feelings onto them like
142
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.759
a child. Wood. Another Palace Inside had described Andrew as
143
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.720
being in what they called a truly pitiable state. Despite
144
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.279
acknowledging that the situation may appear strange to outsiders, The
145
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.680
source said the bears, along with the Corgies once owned
146
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.240
by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, are allegedly the only
147
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.319
companions he feels he can trust. The source added, people
148
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.959
are quietly saying he's on the verge of completely losing it.
149
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.199
They went on to suggest that Andrew's upbringing played a
150
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.199
role in its current behavior, saying he was heavily indulged
151
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.279
by his mother throughout his life. She indulged him completely
152
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.319
and as a result, he never really matured. Now in
153
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.199
his sixties, he remains remarkably immature because he was never
154
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.639
forced to grow up, which partly explains his childish obsession
155
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.799
with his bears. Other reports that the last move Charles
156
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.080
has to make if Andrew does not vacate Royal Lodge
157
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.799
is to take the Teddy bears away. There you have

the social lubs were all there. Come say hi, I'm

Mark Francis My thanks to John mcdermoth's Palace in Dragon

good terms,
