I had been led to believe from media that their marriage was a bit rocky right now, not that it’s any of our business (apart from the bits we pay for ;-)).

I thought it was Beatrice who was rumoured to have been dealing with a rocky marriage. Link to a recent report. Who knows?

Princess Beatrice leaves royal residence amid Edoardo marriage speculation

Princess Beatrice had been keeping a low profile in the past few months not only because of the ongoing debacle surrounding her father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor but also how the crisis has impacted her marriage with Italian husband Edoardo...

I would say Edoardo seems more the type to shag about than Jack but who knows, maybe appearances can be deceiving?

Announcement made by BP and C3 is 'delighted'?

I've said on another thread that's quite odd when just a few weeks ago all the splash was that both York daughters weren't welcome at Ascot.

Perhaps 'all the splash' was a load of old lies.

Perhaps indeed although it is hard to see either Yorkette waving from a carriage any time soon.

Ed seemed to be the one in the frame for the recent 'marriage difficulties' tales but as you say, who knows?

A “Band-aid baby” ? Not unheard of post indiscretion. I hope she has more self respect than to have gone down that route - and hope she has a happy and healthy pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

I did wonder.

New Andrew Lownie chat. Starts on Fergie and her luxury escape hideouts, but moves on to Andrew.

He doesn't think he'll be prosecuted. Mentions a deal where he was trying to get a fleet of royal helicopters.

Also suspects that from her time as a close friend of Diana, fergie is likely to make unwanted revelations about Charles if she does write a tall all book

That will be a set up for him
to argue for increased security.

NewAgeNewMe · 07/05/2026 16:49

Mightily convenient 🤔

damsello · 07/05/2026 16:59

I'd also be very surprised if he is prosecuted TBH but who knows. Between the Balaclava Boundary Breaker, and his oh so delicate mental elf, I reckon there will be some reason not to. Of course lack of admissable evidence in a UK court would be another..... Any witnesses for the prosecution?

CathyorClaire · 07/05/2026 20:00

Huh.

And all hot on the heels of the alleged prowlers clambering over the fence just before his lardy arse got shifted out of the coveted Wood Farm.

I suspect a reversal of fortune in the not too distant future 🙄

I see Eugenie has been out and about at some press day baby shopping event. There's no keeping a York from a freebie!

Mylovelygreendress · 08/05/2026 11:54

I can’t abide AMW and wish he would disappear to some remote place however he is at risk of attack and much as I would love to see him with a black eye , he needs protection .
But it should not be paid by taxpayers !

CathyorClaire · 08/05/2026 12:01

The report posted yesterday says MW had a 'bodyguard' with him. Latest report says C3 stopped paying for his private security so who is the bodyguard, what capacity is he/she employed in and who is paying?

If he's still got taxpayer funded security despite all assurances to the contrary there's going to be a stink 💩

jeffgoldblum · 08/05/2026 12:14

This is the media’s fault for broadcasting exactly where he is! , might as well stuck a huge neon sign over his house “ Andrew is here ! Come get him” .

damsello · 08/05/2026 12:16

House arrest, big F off fencing, a Ring doorbell, electronic gates, a doberman or two. Uber eats delivery to a hatch by the gate. That'll do it. 😊

BasiliskStare · 08/05/2026 12:18

Andrew and his family I think lost their taxpayer funded security in 2022. Charles pays for Andrew's security out of his own money ( I know , I know we can discuss KCIII's wealth ) but for the purposes of my post AMW security is not currently paid for by the taxpayer . So I agree with you @bluegreygreen - he does need some (I might say largely his own fault ) & he's getting it privately from KC. @CathyorClaire I think KC is still paying privately for A's bodyguard's etc. If taxpayer funded security were given to AMW now that would be just a Royal PR cockup of massive proportions* - I can't believe it will happen . If Andrew wants to walk his dog then do it on the Sandringham private estate if he's worried , or get his bodyguard to stand a bit closer. Or disappear somewhere even more remote as Bluegrey quite sensibly in my view 😊suggests

*DH like me supports a constitutional monarchy . When I said to him giving in to this demand would be a pr disaster , he scarcely looked up from his crossword as he said "I think it would be the beginning of the end of any support for the Monarchy". I think there is a grain of truth in what he says. Particularly as it would give H something else to flounce around about which none of us need. 😃

damsello · 08/05/2026 12:30

How would anyone actually know who pays for his security? Is that information available anywhere if it is publicly funded, or is there a D notice or similar gag on such information? I don't know.

Apparently AMW pays for security out of the allowance that KC gives him .

C was supposedly sick of covering the £3m private security costs previously and stopped them. The allowance is now said to be worth several times MW's navy pension so won't even be touching the sides of the costs unless it's well over the £3m he's allegedly anti-coughing.

What happened to all his dodgy money ?
