I think KC stopped paying for A's security as part of a bid to get him out of Royal Lodge. What I suspect is that KC is now paying security and a stipend to A but guarding the farm will be a lot cheaper than RL I would have thought. It's smaller and A isn't exactly going anywhere , and even Wolferton might be too far now in his mind ( for which I suspect the residents are heartily grateful) To some extent as long it's out of KC's own pocket I don't mind and I suspect it's a lot less than £3m. Frankly I think even a 6 figure stipend is generous if A has not exhausted all the questionable money he's trousered over the years.

How the man has the utter gall to ask for tax funded security because of " individuals who have become fixated due to all of the coverage he has attracted over recent years " is astonishing. But if he weren't such a pompous , self-entitled oaf then he might not be in the trouble he's in now. "You can take the buffoon out of Royal Lodge , but you can't take etc etc "

Oh my !
There’s an article in the DM about Sarah Ferguson and her friend PDiddy.
Would they dare to print it if it’s untrue ?
Surely their lawyers would be all over it ?

Geez she does love a sex offender

Gordon Bennet. Here's the link if anyone can archive it. SF does seem to have been chaotic https://www.dailymail.com/news/royals/article-15801997/sarah-ferguson-secret-friends-benefits-p-diddy.html

Here you go, @BasiliskStare: https://archive.md/8KGTo

Worrying to see that's another dubious character she dragged her daughter along to meet too

P Diddy. Just when you thought this whole sordid thing couldn’t get any more bonkers.

Well quite @Puzzledandpissedoff . I don't know but given she's always made a big deal of how marvellous her relationship with her daughters is , it seems unlucky in a very Lady Bracknell sense she introduced them to such dodgy characters. Is that blinded by £££ $$$$ or just she can't read people . I don't know However , her stock for a tell all must be waning.

Thank you for doing the archive thing. I am famous in my house for my lack of technical skills - which is no excuse I know. 😊

How did she get away with this? Was there no oversight at QE2 level? Especially bringing her daughters to meet him.

Dear god, these two get more and more debauched and revolting with each revelation. Their DDs aren’t far behind either.
It’s beyond belief that so much has been covered up by so many over the years; my opinion of the royals is unprintable.

Adapted from Entitled by Andrew Lownie (William Collins, £10.99), to be published May 21.

I think it should be made clear at the top of an article, not the bottom, when it's an excerpt from a book rather than a news article.

It did become clear part way through by the writing style, but in most cases publications make it clear by talking about serialisations, etc., rather than a small postscript.

This thread is nearly finished, and I don't think this is going away anytime soon so I will link to a new thread

She cannot not have known about this and the implications of bringing her daughters is just gross

Speculation that The Files might have been discussed at the recent king's visit.

Lownie thinks Clinton much more deeply implicated
