Andrew's disastrous interview

A new series about the #Newsnight Prince Andrew interview is released today.

Watch the original interview, in full here: https://t.co/LNy3UhUUKv

— BBC Newsnight (@BBCNewsnight) September 19, 2024

In 2019, the former Duke of York sat down with Emily Maitlis at Newsnight to address his connection to Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations of misconduct against him made by Virginia Giuffre.

Throughout the chat, Andrew denied meeting his accuser when she was underage, downplayed his friendship with the criminal and even insisted he had a medical condition that prevented him from sweating.

Former royal staffer reacts

Queen Elizabeth II's former employee Ailsa Anderson told The Sun's Royal Exclusive that she was chilled to the bone by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's horrific interview.

"Clearly the duke was keen to get his story across and he thought, 'Okay, this is my time to shine,'" she said. "There were almost ridiculous points in that interview. The line about not sweating made my skin crawl a bit. Honestly, I just felt thank goodness I'm not there."

"That was his massive opportunity to say, 'My thoughts and prayers are with the victims who have been trafficked, who have been exploited, in any set of circumstances,'" the ex-staffer said. "But he chose to say, 'No, I don't think so.'"

Did Beatrice arrange Andrew's interview?

According to Mail on Sunday, Princess Beatrice may have helped in setting up the interview for her father. However, once it aired, the eldest daughter was distraught.

"Beatrice has been in tears every day since the interview went out," a source claimed. "Both Sarah [Ferguson] and Andrew rely on Beatrice's judgment a lot when it comes to dealing with the public as she's got an old head on young shoulders. You can't really blame Beatrice because I think the odds were stacked against her on this one."

Andrew's arrest

Andrew's past caught up with him when he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly giving information to Epstein while he was the U.K.'s trade envoy.

"Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office," Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright confirmed in a statement. "It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offense. We understand the significant public interest in this case and we will provide updates at the appropriate time."

That means your VIP level is not based on a fee or something, but on your activity. Then, you'll climb up the tier based on how much you deposit and play over time.

However, it's not completely automatic, and there are important details you must be aware of.

Account Review

The site's VIP team will regularly review your account (it can be monthly or quarterly). Then, the management may send special invites to a higher level based on your past activity.

When King Charles III addressed the stunning arrest of his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the monarch chose his words carefully.

But something the king said — two words in particular — raised fresh questions from Emily Maitlis, the journalist who famously confronted the former Prince Andrew about his ties to predator Jeffrey Epstein in a 2019 interview for the BBC's Newsnight.

Speaking on a recent episode of her "The News Agents" podcast, Maitlis focused on a phrase the king used in a written statement issued hours after police took the former Duke of York into custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The arrest came weeks after the U.S. Justice Department publicly released emails suggesting the ex-royal had passed along sensitive government documents to Epstein while serving as a U.K. trade envoy.

What the king said

In his official statement, Charles wrote, "I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office."

"What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities," he continued.

"In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and cooperation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course," he added.

"As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all," the king concluded.

'Deepest concern'

Maitlis debated what the monarch really meant.

"It's really interesting because I kept on going back to those words: the 'deepest concern.' And if I was opposite him now, I'd say, 'Wait, what is that concern? Who is that concern for? Are you concerned about your own brother's mental health at this point?' This perhaps implies, are you concerned that it has happened without his knowledge?" Maitlis said, as reported by Britain's Daily Express.

"I mean, the king did not know about this beforehand, but it doesn't sound as if that's what he means because he's saying he wants the 'full' and 'fair' force of the law. Are you concerned about other potential victims in this?" she mused.

The television journalist continued to attempt to interpret the monarch's expression of "deepest concern."

"I mean, I think it is a very curious phrase, that 'deepest concern,' because I'm not sure I understand who that concern is for, but I think it is important … that the king is talking as a monarch of the country about an arrest he was not pre-warned about," she said.

"He's not speaking as if it was the guy that he basically cast adrift last October," Maitlis added, referring to Charles' late-2025 decision to strip his brother of all his royal titles and honors amid renewed and growing scrutiny of the former Duke of York's Epstein ties.

The interview that changed everything

A new series about the #Newsnight Prince Andrew interview is released today.

— BBC Newsnight (@BBCNewsnight) September 19, 2024

Maitlis' perspective carries unique weight given her role in one of the most dramatic chapters of the royal family's Epstein scandal.

The award-winning British journalist and broadcaster's 2019 interview with Mountbatten-Windsor marked a turning point in the controversy over his relationship with Epstein.

During the widely watched sit-down conducted inside Buckingham Palace, Maitlis questioned Queen Elizabeth II's second son about his friendship with the disgraced financier and the circumstances and timeline surrounding their association.

She also quizzed him about Virginia Giuffre, the late Epstein victim who accused Mountbatten-Windsor of assaulting her in 2001. He denied any wrongdoing and claimed he'd never met Giuffre. In 2022, however, he settled a civil lawsuit Giuffre filed against him for a reported $16 million.

In the wake of the Newsnight interview, the former Prince Andrew stepped back as a working royal and withdrew from public duties.

Six years later, in February 2026, he became the first senior royal in modern history to be arrested.

A police investigation is ongoing.

Meghan Markle's decision to share a photo of Princess Lilibet on social media is sparking speculation about her marriage to Prince Harry.

Meghan shares a photo of Princess Lilibet on Instagram

View this post on Instagram

After the Duchess of Sussex shared a sweet snap of her husband and their daughter on Instagram for Valentine's Day, royal expert Ingrid Seward slammed Meghan for putting her children in the spotlight.

"It's quite different sharing a photograph of your child with your friends and loved ones, but sharing it with millions of people is another matter entirely," she told The Mirror. "Many parents choose not to share photos of their children in this day and age. It's sad, but it's true; it could be a rather stupid thing to do because it's out there for everyone to see now."

Does Meghan control Harry?

Seward believes the Spare author wasn't thrilled about his wife sharing their kids with the world. "Harry understands the privacy issue better than Meghan does due to his own experiences as a child. For Meghan, being seen with a gorgeous child is just a plus, because she has had very different experiences," she said.

"I would have thought Harry might have been brave enough to point out that the photograph was absolutely contrary to everything they said they wanted, and it cannot be undone now," the writer said. "I think Meghan probably gets the final word in everything they discuss, though."

Leaving the royal family for more privacy

Harry and Meghan exited The Firm and left England in 2020 to give their offspring a more peaceful existence. However, putting their little ones on social media puts them in the public eye. "One of the things that he pointed out to his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, at the time of him leaving the royal family, was that they wanted a private life, where they could bring up a family without being followed by photographers everywhere," Seward said.

"So, this is incredibly hypocritical because a photograph like Meghan's isn't private," she continued. "It may be a bit harsh, but one could argue that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have become an extension of their own vanity. Because what other reason is there for Meghan to post a photograph of her children other than to say, 'look at our lovely children?'"

What have Meghan and Harry said about privacy?

During their headline-making 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the couple touched upon boundaries. "I think everyone has a basic right to privacy," Meghan said. "Basic. We're not talking about anything that anybody else wouldn't expect."

"If you're at work and you have a photograph of your child on your desk and your coworker says, 'Oh, my gosh, your kid's so cute. That's fantastic! Can I see your phone so I can see all the pictures of your child?' You go, 'No. This is the picture I'm comfortable sharing with you,'" she said.

The luxury spray tan brand that launched with a Brandi Glanville-hosted red carpet is now the most buzzed-about beauty spot in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, and it's only the beginning of a massive California takeover.

Something is happening on Van Nuys Boulevard, and Sherman Oaks won't shut up about it. goGLOW — the luxury sunless tanning and skincare brand that has been quietly exploding across the country — opened its first-ever California location in Sherman Oaks late last year, and Wonderwall.com can confirm the place has been slammed since the day the doors opened. Appointments are booking out. Memberships are flying. And the Instagram chatter from Valley locals reads like a love letter to a brand most of them had never heard of six months ago.

The studio had a full red carpet, a ribbon-cutting with the Sherman Oaks Chamber of Commerce, and a meet-and-greet hosted by none other than The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville, who showed up glowing and told the crowd she was proud to back the brand.

"I love that goGLOW puts skincare first. It's beauty with a purpose," Glanville said at the event.

She isn't wrong. And the Valley heard her.

Since the launch, goGLOW Sherman Oaks has become the most talked-about new beauty address in the San Fernando Valley. The studio is run by local franchise owner Dave Spare, with founder and CEO Melanie Richards flying in for the grand opening to personally introduce the brand to Los Angeles. Artist Klypso spun the music. Champagne flowed. Gift bags went out. And the Glow Bar — a product-sampling concept that lets guests experience the brand's skincare line before committing to a session — made its public debut.

But the party was just the beginning. What's kept people coming back is the experience itself.

Here's the thing about goGLOW that separates it from every other spray tan place in L.A. — it's not really a spray tan place. The brand treats sunless tanning as skincare. Every session starts with a pH-balancing prep that coats the skin and corrects dry patches before a single drop of solution touches you. Then a trained Glow Artist — not an employee with a spray gun — hand-applies a custom-blended formula matched to the client's skin tone. The solutions are proprietary, vegan, paraben-free, sulfate-free, cruelty-free, and infused with antioxidants and botanicals. No odor. No streaking. No orange.

It's not a spray tan, as the brand's tagline goes. It's a goGLOW.

Clients can choose between a traditional rinse window of 12 to 24 hours for a deeper, gradual build or a rapid option that lets you rinse in three to five hours and still get the same quality result. There are light glow and deep bronze options, VIP and Elite membership tiers with perks and retail discounts, and a full line of take-home skincare products designed to extend the glow and protect the skin between sessions. The Glow Artists also coach clients on prep, maintenance, and long-term skin health which is wildly uncommon in a category that historically just sprays you and sends you home.

The woman behind all of it is Melanie Richards, and her story is one of the more unexpected founder narratives in the beauty industry. Before she launched goGLOW, Richards worked as a probation officer and domestic violence advocate protecting and empowering women in an entirely different context. That focus on care, safety, and confidence didn't disappear when she pivoted to beauty. It became the brand's DNA.

Richards started goGLOW as a mobile side hustle. It is now a national franchise operation that has been expanding rapidly across the country. The brand holds a patent on its air-filtration tanning equipment — not a marketing gimmick but actual proprietary technology designed to create a safer, cleaner session environment. And the founder's story from law enforcement to beauty mogul has become one of the most compelling in the franchise world.

The Sherman Oaks flagship is the first of several California studios planned for the Los Angeles area, and Wonderwall.com has learned that a West Hollywood location is expected to open later this year. For a city that is arguably more obsessed with glow than any other place on earth — from red carpets to beach days to the never-ending content cycle of Instagram and TikTok — the arrival of a brand that treats the tan as a skincare ritual rather than a cosmetic shortcut has clearly struck a nerve.

Los Angeles has a thousand places that will spray you bronze. It now has exactly one that will spray you healthy.

Sarah Ferguson has seemingly vanished from public view in recent months.

But behind the scenes, insiders say she's quietly been on the move.

As scrutiny over the depth of her and ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's past ties to predator Jeffrey Epstein has intensified, the former Duchess of York has been traveling across the globe, new reports reveal, including seeking refuge in some of the world's most exclusive wellness clinics and spas.

Globe-trotting amid disgrace

Ferguson's last major public appearance was at granddaughter Athena Mapelli Mozzi's christening at St. James's Palace in London in December 2025. After that, she disappeared from view.

"Sarah is sofa-surfing on a global scale by moving around every few days and deliberately not telling people where she has been staying until she's left the location. She is paranoid her location will be discovered so is moving frequently," a source told DailyMail.com.

"She notifies friends of her last location only once she has safely moved on to the next. She wants to avoid being photographed," the source added.

Insiders told the U.K. outlet that the former royal has been relying in part on her daughters' travel and social schedules to direct some of her moves and has discreetly been joining them or other family members as she keeps a low profile.

Reports indicate Fergie visited Qatar when daughter Princess Eugenie attended an Art Basel event in Doha in early February.

She also reportedly flew to Florida with Princess Beatrice's husband, developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, when he had a design conference in Palm Beach in late January.

Ferguson also allegedly visited a French ski resort with friends before joining her younger daughter's ski vacation in Gstaad, Switzerland, in recent weeks.

Wellness retreats and spas

Amid the mounting fallout tied to the U.S. Justice Department's release of the Epstein files — which revealed the former Duke and Duchess of York both maintained a close friendship with the disgraced financier for far longer than they previously claimed — Ferguson also visited wellness retreats, DailyMail.com reported.

The outlet revealed she checked into the ultra-exclusive Paracelsus Recovery Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, which can cost as much as $17,400 a day. The center also reportedly offers a three-day "comprehensive checkup" for $148,000 and a customized $470,000 one-month residential program.

"Sarah left for Zurich just after Christmas and stayed until the end of January," a Swiss source told DailyMail.com.

"She always feels at home at Paracelsus, and knows she'll get love and attention there, as well as expert health treatment when she's feeling at her most vulnerable."

Ferguson has previously spoken publicly about the clinic. "I recently spent time at Paracelsus Recovery in Zurich, a clinic known for its discreet, bespoke care for those facing complex mental health and addiction challenges, to learn more," she wrote on Facebook in 2025.

"What I found was not only a [center] of clinical excellence, but a place of deep humanity."

She later told The Daily Telegraph, "I am not embarrassed to reveal the clinic offered me a sanctuary, renowned as it is for its bespoke, cutting-edge treatment for those grappling with mental health and addiction issues — particularly those whose struggles are often hidden behind the facade of a public role."

A luxury Irish getaway

More recently, Ferguson was spotted at Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa — a remote wellness retreat in Donegal, Ireland, Donegal Live reported.

She's visited Ballyliffin before, including twice in 2024.

"I'm back here in Donegal, and sometimes when I find things sometimes get overwhelming, I try and take myself off to the most beautiful, wonderful blast of fresh air," Fergie said in a 2024 TikTok video filmed on the Irish coast.

"Looking at the ocean, looking at the beach, looking at the shells… It's great to be in the wind and just getting fresh air on my face. Thank you, Donegal," she added.

Money worries — and a big move?

The lavish nature of Ferguson's travels is raising fresh questions about her famously fraught finances.

DailyMail.com reported that she recently admitted to friends while in the United Arab Emirates that her situation is precarious. "I need to get back to work. I need money," Fergie allegedly told pals.

Andrew Lownie, author of the 2025 book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, believes the former Duchess of York will likely relocate to the Middle East in the wake of her fall from grace.

"In Britain, neither Sarah nor Andrew will be socially accepted again, whatever they try to do or wherever they go. But in the Middle East, no one will care about what they have got up to," Lownie told DailyMail.com.

"There are people there — royalty, politicians and business types — whom Sarah can quite happily sponge off and who will be happy to bankroll both of them," Lownie added.

"These types of people in the Middle East simply couldn't care less what Sarah has done. And even if she doesn't have her title of the Duchess of York anymore, she will still be seen as royalty and treated as such — and she knows it."

One senior member of the royal family used to wreak havoc in Buckingham Palace.

Prince Philip's mother would set fire to her apartment

According to royal biographer Tom Quinn, Prince Philip's mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg [also known as Princess Andrew], would accidentally set fires to her apartment in Buckingham Palace when she smoked.

"Well, there was a lady-in-waiting who was very friendly with Philip's mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, when Alice was living at Buckingham Palace and they used to smoke cigarettes together in Alice's apartment — so much so that they regularly set fire to it," former royal staffer Agnes Cooke told Quinn for his book Yes Ma'am via Daily Express.

"Despite being very grand indeed — a member of one of Britain's oldest and most aristocratic families — this particular lady-in-waiting used to wander about with a cigarette stuck behind her ear, like a coal miner or a carpenter," she added.

Who was Prince Philip's mom, Princess Alice of Battenberg?

Alice was born in the U.K. but moved to Greece and married into the Greek Royal Family when she wed Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark. The matriarch eventually moved into Buckingham Palace to be with Philip and his wife, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1967.

Alice lived in the royal residences until she passed away in 1969.

Along with Philip, Alice had five children, Princess Margarita, Princess Theodora, Princess Cecilie and Princess Sophie.

According to Tatler, Alice was deeply religious and converted to the Greek Orthodox Church. However, in 1930, the mother of five was diagnosed with schizophrenia and committed to a Swiss sanatorium.

Alice later became a charity worker and was employed by the Red Cross during World War II. Prince William read a passage from Heroes of the Holocaust about his great grandmother in a speech for Holocaust Memorial Day.

"Alice worked tirelessly for the Red Cross, helping to organize soup kitchens, opening shelters for orphaned children and setting up a nursing system for poor areas of the city," he said. "It was at this time that Princess Alice gave refuge to a Jewish widow, Rachel Cohen, and two of her five children to save them from deportation to the death camps."

Sports betting is often associated with everyday fans watching matches at home. But behind the scenes, many well-known personalities from music, film, television, and professional sports have also developed a fascination with betting.

Some stories are harmless tales of friendly wagers between friends. Others are cautionary examples of obsession, loss, and lessons learned the hard way.

This article explores why famous people are drawn to sports betting, how it plays out in their lives, and what we can learn from their experiences.

Why celebrities love sports betting

Fame brings wealth, but it also brings boredom, pressure, and a need for excitement. For some public figures, sports betting offers a controlled thrill without leaving their private world.

Common reasons

– Competitive personality

– Easy access to large bankrolls

– Love for sports

– Desire for adrenaline outside work

– Social betting with friends or teammates

A famous actor once described betting on matches in the English Premier League as "watching a movie where you can influence the ending."

A retired athlete from a major American basketball team admitted in an interview that following games in the National Basketball Association became more exciting when small wagers were involved.

Stories from behind the spotlight

The touring musician

A well-known touring musician used to bet on football matches between concerts. Long nights on the road created boredom, and betting apps became entertainment.

At first, the bets were small. Then the stakes grew. After one losing streak, the musician admitted to needing help managing gambling habits.

The movie star's friendly bets

A famous movie star reportedly hosted viewing parties during major tournaments, where friends placed casual bets. It stayed friendly – until rumors spread that assistants were placing bets on behalf of the star across different bookmakers.

Nothing illegal was proven, but the story became a reminder of how quickly habits can escalate.

The former team captain

A retired captain from a top European football club loved analyzing matches. After retirement, he began placing structured bets based on statistics and interviews.

He later said betting became a hobby that kept his competitive spirit alive – but only because he set strict limits.

Paid tipsters and free predictions

Even celebrities sometimes look for advice. Some follow free sports predictions online just for fun, while others subscribe to professional tipster services hoping for deeper analysis. Paid subscriptions promise structured insights, but even the best tipsters cannot guarantee profit.

For famous personalities, the real challenge is discipline, not information.

Patterns seen among famous bettors

These patterns appear again and again in stories across industries.

When betting becomes a problem

Not every story has a happy ending.

Some celebrities lost large sums quietly. Others publicly admitted to gambling addiction. A few faced legal issues when bets broke league or endorsement rules.

The biggest lesson is simple: Fame does not protect anyone from bad decisions.

Responsible betting lessons from famous stories

1. Set strict limits before betting.

2. Avoid chasing losses.

3. Never bet under emotional pressure.

4. Treat betting as entertainment, not income.

5. Talk openly about problems early.

These are lessons repeated by many public figures who learned the hard way.

Summarized…

Famous personalities are just people with bigger spotlights. They experience boredom, excitement, and temptation like everyone else.

Sports betting offers thrill, competition, and escape – all powerful attractions for people living intense public lives. Some manage it responsibly. Others struggle.

Whether guided by paid tipsters, free predictions, or pure instinct, the outcome always depends on discipline.

In the end, the most valuable lesson from celebrity betting stories is not about money won or lost. It is about knowing when excitement turns into risk – and having the strength to step back.
