Another new story on Andrew today. Photo's have emerged showing that on Epstein's desk, there were emails regarding Epstein paying debts owed by Andrew/Sarah to staff:

Why on Earth was a Prince of England having his staff paid by a sex trafficker?
Doesn't seem "too honourable" to me.

Epstein Had Emails from Staff of Ex-Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson on His Desk in Newly Shared Photos

New photos from Jeffrey Epstein's New York home appear to show an email exchange between former staffers for ex-Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

Are their husbands rich? Beatrice’s yes I can see that. But I can’t see Eugenie’s husband as rich. Happy to be proven wrong.

Eugenie’s husband comes from a wealthy family and is wealthy in his own right. The amount is undisclosed. I can’t imagine her marrying someone who isn’t wealthy.

He's in remainder to the Brooksbank baronetcy whatever that means.

I always thought when he met Eugenie he was doing the ski season behind the bar, and it was a case of man meets his Princess Charming. Modern day fairytale!

He went to the Uni of Bristol and dropped out.

I think his Wikipedia entry bigs him up somewhat as his family has connections it appears.

Not that I care, he seems a decent man and him and Eugenie appear very happy. 😊 I'm glad a somewhat ordinary bloke bagged his princess.

I keep seeing his Windsors caricature - shot - tequila :)

I am guessing his fam have net worth of about 10-20 mil at least & he has about half. The Portuguese house about 3 mil plus alone.

Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate where AMW is moving to apparently - can be seen on Cambridgeshire Live on Facebook atm.

Not huge but a lovely country house in beautiful countryside. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have all of these “spare” period properties available and surplus to requirements until they are used to house the family black sheep!

I’m wondering if William has little choice re these two as there are very few options for who will perform duties once he’s king.
Apart from Sophie, Edward and Anne who else is there? I can’t see Zara and Mike Tindall suddenly being able to (other than at the races etc), Sophie and Edward’s DCs aren’t seen other than at big family events.
Personally I don’t think Beatrice and Eugenie are far behind their parents when it comes to freebies and handouts.

I’ve said before that I don’t think the Apple has fallen far from the tree where the daughters are concerned.

RainbowBagels · 16/01/2026 20:20

options for who will perform duties once he’s king.
But they arent working Royals, and are meant to not be on the payroll. Do we really want to start having the Kibgs cousins bankrolled for life again? If William wants to stop all the handshaking activities he needs to stop them. Not draft in random cousins. Much of the stuff they do wont be missed.

Re the allocation of funds - it’s only the working royals who actually have to be paid by the monarch instead of the previous civil list. When the civil list paid an annual ‘wage’ that was to royals who were doing official duties and covered their expenses. Now that ‘wage’ is split between the Sovereign Grant which covers travel and staff for official duties, leaving Charles to top up extra funds for their day to day needs as they are supporting him rather than persuing alternative careers.

So you don’t have to be dependent on your brother if you don’t want to.

Harking back to Norman Baker the increase in the CL pleaded for by Albert went on financing the purchases of Balmoral and Sandringham (thereby making them national assets not private property IMO).

Turns out the ever more bloated SG doesn't always cover travel and staff for 'official duties' and C3 has inexplicably been able to claim a refund in respect of at least two trips.

We can all rest easy though. Any excess rather than going back to the taxpayer goes into the SG reserve which part funds royal jollies.

Gravy train just rolling on...

Wealthier than the majority I would suggest

Bea's husband's accounts are filed with small business exemptions and Euge's husband is a glorified estate agent having transitioned from selling booze.

I suspect the majority of the pair's income is derived from discreet royal bequests and trusts and lately boosted by a bit of schmoozing of Daddy's ME contacts.

RainbowBagels · 17/01/2026 15:01

They also have a couple of profligate parents to cater for! Mummys got nowhere to live now either!

Allseeingallknowing · 17/01/2026 16:39

Why do the press think we want to keep seeing his grinning face, driving or riding his horse? Is he trying to convince the public that all this scandal isn’t affecting him?

Muck raking c5 dross on Beatrice and Eugenie.

Eugenie had her wedding at Windsor castle shortly after harry and Meghan and specifically out did them on the number of wedding guests.

Ingrid Seward dredged up to explain that this was thanks to Fergie who had so many many friends and who loves giving and organising parties.

Andrew was pissed off that neither BBC nor itv carried it live, so a deal was worked out to screen it on This Morning. I did see it. It has Andrew specifically bragging at having more guests than William or Harry.

E is apparently a patron for charities for children with assorted vulnerabilities that just now seems sooooo like the sort of phishing for her dad

Lalgarh · 17/01/2026 21:09

I still can't actually tell which is Beatrice and which is Eugenie.

I've just checked.

@Lalgarh Muck raking dross on C5, and then you say Eugenie's charity sounds like phishing for her father?

The sisters look completely different, I'm surprised you can't tell which is which.

I remember Eugene's wedding and Andrew's comment about her having more friends than Harry, or something to that effect. She had some really random guests like Demi Moore and Ricky Martin but apparently they were BFFs of Fergie!

ThePoshUns · 18/01/2026 07:11

Yes that comment just shows what a pompous arse Andrew is and the guest list what a grasping grifter Sarah is. Vile people.

The Mail are claiming today that Eugenie has cut Andrew off. Since the revelations about him and Epstein are hardly new it does seem like a rather cold blooded move to protect herself, but also too little too late.

Maidenjourney · 18/01/2026 08:54

Why they aren’t cutting their loathsome mother off too I don’t know.

I doubt she has. Its probably a desperate attempt to keep someone on the inside of the RF. As you say, this stuff is hardly new. They were right there and being taken to Epsteins prison release party. If shes ' cut him off' shes cut him off because shes scared of losing her ' Princess' title.

I didn't find it very convincing either, although i admit i only read the headline not the article. Surely if they were going to cut him off they would have done it in the midst of the shock when the revelations first came out.

AnnunciataM · 18/01/2026 09:50

No, nor do I, and to say it's because Eugenie is a patron of the Anti-Slavery Collective sounds like nonsense as she's been involved with that for years, since before the Newsnight interview.

I don't think the DM have made up the story - it seems far more likely that it's come from some sort of "source" close to Eugenie in an attempt to stay on the right side of the king. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

That's quite interesting but I too very much doubt it's true.

I think MW is still far wealthier than we'll ever be allowed to find out and I think both shameless daughters are attempting to ride two horses at the same time looking out for their own skins in the process.

I have posted these comments before and am quoting myself but they're well worth repeating if anyone's prepared to buy the utter drivel that Euge is acting in respect of her anti slavery initiative:

Interestingly enough the 2023 accounts for the charity were 98 days late in filing and the 2024 accounts show the bulk of the expenditure going on some knees up gala night with the rest of the income/expenditure carried over to the next set of accounts.

Looking forward to seeing 'em 🙂

According to this article said knees up cost an eye watering £280K 😮

Princess Eugenie raises £1 million for The Anti-Slavery Collective

The Duke of York’s daughter founded her charity in 2017 alongside a close friend

Lalgarh · 18/01/2026 11:10

Yes that was it an anti slavery collective, considering Andrew was actively in the company of a trafficker who effectively enslaved hundreds of girls

It emerged the time he saw Epstein in New York he was actually also glad handing at a children's charity which he was patron of. It's beyond inappropriate and starts to look like actively looking for potential links that might prove useful for his chum

simpsonthecat · 18/01/2026 11:11

Absolutely appalling with the anti slavery charity and Eugenie but no different to her mother who aligned herself with charity after charity and money raised, she just kept it... calling it 'expenses'.
A lot of people were burnt with this.

AnnunciataM · 18/01/2026 11:32

Oh a minor but rather gobsmacking tidbit from Entitled is that at Eugenie's wedding, Fergie set up a stand to flog some tea she was promoting! Again, we need a new word as it's beyond shameless.

Whilst that is true it's obvious the girls have remained in contact with both parents prior to this.
