Prince William is willing to take drastic step in Prince Andrew matter if the monarch is unwilling to do so.

The disgraced Duke of York is currently embroiled in a row his 30-room mansion with his brother King Charles, who is beginning to lose his patience.

Andrew was stripped off of his royal titles and patronages in 2019 by his mother Queen Elizabeth after allegations of sexual assault against him emerged while fingers were pointed over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein.

However, the decision was not an easy one for Queen Elizabeth and neither the then-Prince Charles, per royal biographer Omid Scobie.

The author shared that it was actually William who “set the wheels in motion” after Andrew’s embarrassing Newsnight interview, via The Mirror.

“William was keenly aware that the horrific allegations,” Scobie wrote in his book. “The fallout from the embarrassing interview, and now the prospect of an out-of-court settlement involving money from the family’s private wealth were all damaging the monarchy’s reputation.”

Andrew was considered the late Queen’s favourite son, meanwhile, Charles openly despised his brother but didn’t want to be the one to take the major step.

Prince William and King Charles were apparently in a “lockstep” over the decision but William pushed for the Queen to become “the official face of Andrew’s reckoning.”

Even though several working members of the family wanted to see Andrew curtailed, neither Charles nor the Queen appeared ready to take him to task themselves,” Scobie shared.

“While Charles openly detested Andrew’s indiscretions, he didn’t want to be the one to break his younger brother.”

Meanwhile, palace insiders have revealed that King Charles has given Andrew two options: one, Andrew pays for his own lifestyle, the Lodge’s repairs and his own security.

The second option is that he shifts to Harry and Meghan’s old Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage. Moreover, Charles also hasn’t renewed the contracts of Andrew’s security that he was paying for.

It remains to be seen what the disgraced royal will be doing next given his limited options.

Hugh Grant recently appeared on The Graham Norton Show to promote his upcoming movie, Heretic. 

When Donald Trump’s name came up, Grant joked, “He always wanted to be in my stuff.”

Grant recalled working with Trump on the 2002 romantic comedy Two Weeks Notice, alongside Sandra Bullock. “He played a bit part as himself,” Grant said. 

However, Grant admitted he doesn’t remember Trump well.

“The night he came, I had a bet with Sandy that I could make the chairman of Warner Bros. cry by 9 p.m.,” Grant shared. 

“And I was completely focused on that. It’s quite a big bet. She didn’t believe I could do it, but I did it.” The chairman was “in floods of tears” by 8:30 p.m.

Grant concluded, “So I’m afraid Donald Trump didn’t really register.”

When asked if Trump was nice to him, Grant replied, “All I remember is that a day or two afterward I got a call to say, ‘You’ve been made a member of Trump National New York,’ ” which Grant brushed off. 

“I don’t remember him greatly as a person.”

Trump’s acting career includes cameos in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, The Little Rascals, Sex and the City, Zoolander, and The Nanny. 

Director Chris Columbus shared that Trump required a cameo in Home Alone 2 to film at the Plaza Hotel.

“Trump said okay,” Columbus recalled. “We paid the fee, but he also said, ‘The only way you can use the Plaza is if I’m in the movie.’ ” Columbus added, “When we screened it for the first time, people cheered when Trump showed up on screen. So I said to my editor, ‘Leave him in the movie. It’s a moment for the audience.'”

Eamonn Holmes’ animosity towards Phillip Schofield has intensified to the point where he expresses no regrets about his outbursts, which contributed to problems in his marriage to Ruth Langsford.

A source close to Eamonn, 64, revealed that he remains steadfast in his outspoken criticisms of Phillip, which reportedly left Ruth feeling dismayed towards the end of their relationship.

Ruth continues to be a regular fixture on the popular ITV show Loose Women, and sources indicate that she felt uncomfortable with her husband publicly voicing his grievances about the channel and expressing feelings of betrayal.

The couple announced their separation in May after 14 years of marriage, citing that work commitments had “taken their marriage in different directions.” Since then, Eamonn has been seen on holiday with his girlfriend, Katie Alexander.

The presenter has not held back in expressing his disdain for Phillip, leading to a feud that has been labeled one of the most significant in show business.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Eamonn’s dislike for Phillip existed for a long time, but it became very public at the end of his marriage to Ruth. And as his hatred for him and ITV grew, the cracks in their relationship grew deeper.

‘Ruth became a bit dismayed at Eamonn for making repeated digs at ITV after they were axed from This Morning.

‘Ruth wasn’t over the moon about it . But given she was still a cemented member of the Loose Women family, it made things somewhat awkward for her to have Eamonn criticising ITV.

‘But Eamonn loathes Phillip and has no regrets about what he said and certainly doesn’t think he threw him under the bus. 

‘He doesn’t regret any of his behaviour; he believes he’s addicted to fame, and he can’t believe he’s attempted to relaunch himself with his documentary this week.

‘Eamonn is trying to move on with his life, and has no plans to ever make it up with Philip.’

But a source close to the presenter said it would be wrong to suggest his comments about Philip or ITV had anything to do with his marriage breaking down.

The Duchess of Edinburgh demonstrated her calm demeanor during a visit to Picton Barracks in Wiltshire this morning.

In her capacity as Royal Colonel, Sophie, 59, oversaw a homecoming parade for the 5th Battalion of The Rifles, which recently returned from a six-month deployment in Estonia.

A highlight of her visit occurred when she boldly removed a spider from an officer’s shirt, sharing a lighthearted moment and exchanging smiles with the soldier. This act illustrated the duchess’s approachable nature and her ability to connect with military personnel, reported GB News.

Throughout her visit, the Duchess of Edinburgh warmly interacted with the families of the soldiers. In a particularly touching gesture, she presented mini-medals to the children present at the homecoming parade.

Sophie also inspected the Guard of Honour and delivered a speech to the assembled troops and their loved ones. Her interactions showcased her dedication to her role as Royal Colonel and her capability to engage with both military personnel and their families.

The duchess’s visit to Picton Barracks is part of her increasingly busy schedule of royal engagements as she steps in to cover for other senior royals facing health challenges.

In recent months, Sophie’s royal duties have significantly increased, with the number of her engagements more than doubling this September compared to the same period last year—37 completed so far versus 18 in 2023.

Next week, the duchess is set to appear on the CBeebies Bedtime Story segment, where she will read Specs for Rex by Yasmeen Ismail in celebration of World Sight Day.
