The Downfall of Prince Andrew is a warning for Prince Harry

0:00 A Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Welcome through palace intrig game, your host, Frances Prince. Andrew's journey from national heart throb and Falkland's war hero to a disgraced figure has been laid bare by those who knew him. Four decades ago, he was Britain's favorite male royal, and his fame only grew when he served as a Navy helicopter pilot during the nineteen eighty two Falkland's War. Today, Andrew sixty four has become a pantomime figure and his reputation has never recovered since his catastrophic twenty nineteen News Night interview in the Sun Inside his paint two conflicting pictures of Andrew, one friend described him as a kind and devoted family man who was fiercely loyal to his friends. They recalled how they had seen him moved by the plight of someone and then immediately go around his wealthy friends and raise one million pounds to help. This same loyalty, Andrew has argued, is what led him to stand by Jeffrey Epstein even after the disgraced financiers conviction. It was his loyalty to Jeffrey Epstein, the Duke would argue that got him into this mess, one insider said. However, others who worked with Andrew describe him very differently. One former Royal aid claimed that Andrew's sense of entitlement and abrasive personality earned him the nickname air Miles Andy for his frequent overseas trips at the

1:30 taxpayer's expense. Ryan Parry, an undercover reporter at Buckingham Palace in two thousand and three, recall an incident where Andrew reportedly responded to a footman who woke him by saying good morning, your Royal Highness, with a sharp f off. Another insider accounted Andrew telling a Royal aid to f off out of my office and f off out of my life. His diplomatic conduct also raised eyebrows. Simon Wilson, Britain's former deputy head of mission in bah Rain, referred to Andrew as HBH his buffoon Highness due to his tendency to disregard advice in his childish obsession with doing exactly the opposite of what had been agreed. Wilson added, he appeared to regard himself as an expert in every matter.

2:14 Colleagues put this down to an inferiority complex about being mentally challenged. A former senior diplomat in Italy, Sir Ivor Roberts, remembered Andrew's dismissive attitude towards people, recalling a moment when the Prince met her representative from a popular fashion house and bluntly told her never heard of you. He also noted that Andrew was full of his own self importance and there was a lot of standing on ceremony. Despite the widespread criticism, Andrew still has defenders. One friend stated, I have never heard him say anything negative about his brother, or indeed any member of his family. It's just not something he would do. Yet others within the royal household, while supportive of Queen Elizabeth's continued loyalty to her son, found it frustrating that Andrew wasn't rained in earlier Some found it frustrating that his mother, Queen Elizabeth, was for so long always willing to give him a second chance, one source said. Reflecting on his downfall, an aid remarked, he painted an easy target on his back and for the most part didn't even realize it, or if he did, he didn't care. He grew up in a different era and then found himself suddenly helpless when judged by the standards of the twenty first century. The aid continued, he had the biggest part to play in his own downfall, obviously, but you have to ask whether anyone around him over all those years should have taken him aside and told him to moderate his behavior. Summing up Andrew's current standing, pr expert Nick Eid stated bluntly, there is no way back for him. Just live a quiet life. Prince Harymy have a long road to reconciliation, with royal reporter Charlotte

3:46 Griffiths suggesting he needs to apologize to about forty people before things can return to a civil footing. Speaking on the Palace Confidential podcast, Charlotte listed some key figures, starting with obvious ones like Win Camilla and his father, King Charles. However, Charlotte also mentioned some lesser known names, including Mark Dyer, a former Welsh Guards officer who has been like a second father to both Harry and William. Mark Dyer is Harry's closest friend, really, Charlotte explained. He's a little bit older than Harry and his like a sort of mentor godfather father figure in his life, and he's also a sensible army man. Dire described as fierce but fair, is one of the few royal insiders who has managed to remain close to Harry while also maintaining the trust of both the King and Prince William. Charlotte believes Dia could be the perfect person to talk sense into Harry and help ease tensions between the estranged brothers. Two more pivotal figures in any potential reconciliation would be the Van Strawbanzy brothers, Tom and Charlie. Tom is a close friend of Prince William than Tom is a close friend of Prince William and was one of the first to notice the dramatic change in Harry's priorities from party loving royal to socially conscious, woke warrior. Meanwhile, Charlie, who has close ties to Harry, had the Duke serve as his best man at his wedding.

5:03 Charlie's wife, Daisy Jenks, is one of the few people within royal circles who managed to form a real friendship with Megan. According to Charlotte, the Van Stroymancy brothers could be the ideal mediators Charlie's wife is one of the few people that Megan's friends with in the UK and one of the very few women that you really kept in touch with. Charlotte said, I just think those Van Strawmansey boys could really be the mediators. They've got one each, those warring brothers, and they could be brought together. They used to hang out the whole time and be a real squad. A former royal aide who once worked for Prince Andrew has partly blamed the Duke's decline on others who should shoulder some of the blame. In remarks that seem to serve as a warning to Prince Harry. Speaking to The Son's Fabulous magazine, the unnamed aid suggested that other spares to the throne, including Harry and the people advising them, should take lessons from Andrew's downfall. The aid remarked that Prince Andrew grew up in a different era and now finds himself helped when judged by standards of the twenty first century. While acknowledging that Andrew was responsible for the biggest part of his own troubles, they questioned whether those around him should have stepped in to guide him towards moderating his behavior. The source reflected that Andrew likely wouldn't have listened to such advice. Benemphasized that Harry should be cautious not to make the same mistakes. Referring to the title of Harry's memoir Spare, the AID said, there's a lesson for all spares to the air in this and the people who advised them. In defending Andrew, the former aid noted that he had faced relentless criticism and admitted that while much of it was justified, some

6:35 of it wasn't. They described Andrew as having become a pantomime figure and pointed out that his upbringing as a son of the Queen who was louded and applauded for years, likely gave him an inflated sense of invincibility. The aid concluded that dealing with royals like Andrew and Harry involves a difficult balance. While those around them can try to keep them on the straight and narrow, the royals are ultimately adults, often bloody, obstinate ones. Our royal inside Deep Crown commented, ah, Yes, Prince Harry should take note of recent history. Andrew, you see, was quite safe under the unwavering shield of her Late Majesty's protection. Charles, however, is not as inclined to extend that same courtesy to his brother, while Harry still benefits from her father's sense of duty.

7:18 Once William sends, I dare say, he will find a far less sympathetic ear Palace intrig could be right back. Belgian Crown Princess Elizabeth has officially begun her studies at Harvard University in Boston. According to an announcement from the Royal Palace, she is pursuing a two year master's degree in public policy at the prestigious institution, which is known for its top ranking Kennedy School. This latest academic venture follows elizabeth bachelor's degree in history and politics from Oxford University. Elizabeth continues a royal family tradition of studying abroad. Her cousin, Prince Waquin, also attended Harvard, obtaining a degree in business administration, while her father, King Leap studied political science at Stanford University.

8:04 People have been advised to take a closer look at their change after a rare one pound coin featuring King Charles's effigy turned out to be worth six hundred times its face value. Diane Bath, a sixty two year old post office worker in Cumbria, hit the jackpot when she discovered the coin, which was made entirely of brass instead of the usual two tone nickel composition. The first coins featuring King Charles were released in twenty twenty two after Queen Elizabeth the Second's passing, and all coins bearing her image remain in circulation. Diane noticed something unusual when staff pointed out that one of the one pound coins in a delivery appeared to be completely gold. The Royal Mint confirmed the coin was a result of a rare minting error, making it a potential collector's dream.
