'Totally shameless' Sarah Ferguson gearing up to cause more 'trouble'

Will Sarah tell all?

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams believes the 66-year-old has nothing to lose by spilling the monarchy's secrets. "She is bad news and what she said might not be believed, but it [a potential TV interview] really would cause trouble," he told Daily Express.

"These are just rumors, of course," he continued. "There is little doubt that if Sarah Ferguson consented to some sort of kiss-and-tell interview, there would be plenty of takers and they would pay her substantial sums."

Running the risk of embarrassment

While Sarah might want to make a quick buck and seek revenge, a bombshell sit-down could be humiliating, given the rumors already made public about how she acted as a royal.

"Also, if the interviews given by Andrew Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, are anything to go by, a large amount is yet to be revealed, which could prove extremely embarrassing to her," Fitzwilliams said.

"We will doubtless discover soon. She was a disaster as a working royal and is totally shameless," the reporter added.

Sarah is considered a 'toxic' brand

When friendly emails between the philanthropist and the late criminal from 2011 were made public, numerous charities severed ties with Sarah. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's ex-wife's children's book was also shelved amid the fallout.   

"This is yet another indication that she is now considered a toxic brand," commentator Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.

"Charities have dropped her and friends are distancing themselves. She has a bleak future in England," the journalist claimed.

Meghan's way of 'irritating other royals' in 'desperate' bid 'to be a something'

James Whatling / MEGA TheMegaAgency.com

Meghan Markle — who continues to use her Duchess of Sussex title professionally — is being called out for trying to stay close to the royal family.

"It's her way of irritating other royals. She walked out of being a royal six years ago, but she's still desperate to be something, but just can't do it," royal biographer Angela Levin wrote on X alongside her new Harper's Bazaar's cover.

In the first season of With Love, Meghan, Meghan corrected Mindy Kaling for using her maiden name, but she failed to clarify whether she goes by "Meghan Sussex" or "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex."

@evie.magazine

Meghan Markle's new show is receiving a lot of hate online. One of the more viral moments from "With Love, Meghan" was when Mindy Kaling repeatedly referred to Markle as "Meghan Markl." Markle, smiling, corrected her: "It's so funny you keep saying Meghan Markle; you know I'm Sussex now." #royalfamily

"It's our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn't recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children," Meghan told People while promoting the premiere of her cooking show, which featured the awkward moment with Kaling. "I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me."

"I think as the kids get older, they're so excited about, 'Oh my gosh, Mama and Papa, how did you meet?' I think that will come with time as they get older, but for right now, a huge part of our love story is that we share the name Sussex," Meghan added.

In a separate interview, Meghan revealed her passport and legal identification lists "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" as her legal name.

"But it's a complicated one for people to understand, because a last name is not typical in that construct," Meghan said on The Circuit, adding Sussex is "not" her last name, "but it's used roughly, or loosely, rather."

"It sounds so silly to say. And I get it, because I'm American, and then I went there, and I started to understand," Meghan explained. "But then you come back and as an American, you go, 'I'm so confused.'"

Meghan and Prince Harry were given the title Sussex, a county in the U.K., after their historic wedding day.

"It's a dukedom," Meghan said. "So, that's the truth of it. But at the end of the day, you know, yes. My legal name is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, but Sussex for us works as our family name, and it's the name that we share with our children."

Meghan accused of trying to 'steal Kate's thunder'

Is Meghan Markle trying to upstage Kate Middleton?

The Duchess of Sussex was accused of trying to steal the spotlight from the Princess of Wales when the trailer for her latest Netflix project, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, dropped right as her sister-in-law made a scheduled appearance at the Royal Variety Performance with Prince William.

Trying to steal Kate's 'thunder'

According to royal expert Sara Vine, the timing of the preview for Meghan's special seems suspect.

"Some people have pointed out that it's perhaps not exactly a coincidence that this trailer has been released on the same evening that the Prince and Princess of Wales are appearing at the Royal Variety Show at the Royal Albert Hall," she wrote for DailyMail.com.

"I can't imagine what they are trying to imply. And besides, when has Meghan ever tried to steal her sister-in-law's thunder?" Vine sarcastically questioned.

Meghan and Harry's kiss steals the show

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams thinks the PDA between the Suits star and Prince Harry in the preview will catch people's attention.

"William and Kate attend the Royal Variety Performance tonight but they will probably find Harry and Meghan's kiss gets more coverage," he told Daily Express.

Netflix/YouTube

"The timing is execrable, and Harry's reported offer to share diaries hasn't got very far. The trouble is, when Meghan's festive show airs, he may be little more than an extra. He should beware, it may be a sign," the journalist said.

Competing Christmas events

Meghan's holiday program is slated to land on Netflix on December 3, mere days before Kate hosts her annual "Royal Carols: Together at Christmas" service.

MEGA

During an appearance on TalkTV, royal reporter Kinsey Schofield alleged the move was intentional.

"Meghan told the Fortune Most Powerful Women summit in Washington, D.C., that her holiday special was going to be released in November. And pushing it to December 3, I thought, was intentional because Kate has her annual Christmas event on December 5," she said.

Host Mark Donal replied, "So she moved her event to the same week. That is a scorched-earth policy." 

Meghan slammed for 'performative' Netflix trailer

Body language expert Judi James claimed Meghan seemed to be putting on a show in the preview for her special.

"This kiss looks like something of a 'box-ticking' exercise from a woman who is seen skipping through her garden, clapping and smiling into mixing bowls to signal how she channels the magic of Christmas in the most idealistic way," James told Daily Express.

"The body language looks stylized and performative and this kiss with Harry appears to be a gesture of reward and praise for the fact that he has accepted a cameo role in this Meghan video," James added.

She started off by sharing her top Thanksgiving tip: "Chop your veggies and herbs in advance to save time on the day, and also for those finishing touches, whether you're serving homemade or store-bought dishes. Your kids can join in too! They can proudly say they helped," she said.

"Top tip on the carrots — keep the tops and blend them with parmesan, olive oil and pine nuts for a refreshing take on pesto to elevate your holiday spread," she added before dropping her Harry bombshell.

"Served with creamy mashed potatoes, a green salad speckled with flower sprinkles and rich gravy (my husband would never forgive me if I didn't add that to the table), this is sure to please your entire gathering," she said.

Despite the naysayers, Meghan and Harry have remained a united front.

"There have been times in their marriage where it's been Meghan and Harry against the world," journalist Duncan Larcombe told The Mirror.

"A clear theme from when they first met in the very beginning, has been how protective Harry is of Meghan. He's a very loyal husband — much more so than most, because Meghan gets an awful lot of negative publicity, especially online," the reporter continued. "We've seen Harry supporting her in court cases and also speaking out against those people that have wronged Meghan."

"There's also been a lot of heartbreak in their marriage, but their similar past experiences and traumas are what holds them together and makes them stronger," Larcombe said.

Meghan Markle Gets Called Out

Social media users ripped Meghan over the move. "M is deluded if she has her doorman calling out her title. Her royal title is worth nothing to her now, and she won't have it much longer, so why be all desperate overusing it?" one X user wrote below the magazine's post.

"Didn't she say in the Oprah [Winfrey] interview that titles meant nothing to her?" a second said, referencing the mother of two and Prince Harry's 2021 bombshell interview.

"She really wants people to use that title to associate it with her and thinks the British royal family wouldn't be able to take it from her. She doesn't get that it doesn't belong to her, and they can take it if they want, doesn't matter if she styles herself with it or not," a third added.

"Not surprised at her pretentiousness, but I am surprised it's taken others this long to notice," a fourth chimed in.

What Has Meghan Said About Her Title?

Despite Meghan and Harry leaving The Firm in 2020, the couple still retains their titles. However, according to an agreement with the royals, they vowed not to use the honors commercially.

"All the grandeur surrounding this stuff is an attachment I don't personally have," the Suits actress told Winfrey about the situation in 2021. "I've been a waitress, an actress, a princess, a Duchess — I've always still just been Meghan, right? I've been clear on who I am, independent of all that stuff and the most important title I'll ever have is mom. I know that."\

Is Meghan a Hypocrite?

Royal reporter Charlotte Griffiths thinks it's odd that Meghan wants a public connection to her in-laws after constantly criticizing them. "Having slammed the royal family for years now, she really wants to use the title Sussex and she wants to use Sussex royal as her branding, which she was told she wasn't allowed to, but it feels a little bit hypocritical to rely on that royal fame to sell products and maintain notoriety," she told the U.K.'s Channel 5.

Struggling with Sleep? Try Hemp Gummies for Better Rest

Vitaly Gariev/Unsplash

Growing reliance on cannabidiol (CBD) products may seem like a fad or trend, but they are popular for a reason: they can help address various health concerns as a supplement. Sometimes, your daily food and drinks fail to nourish your body and mind fully. Extra support is needed to combat oxidative stress caused by environmental factors, a hectic lifestyle and poor dietary choices. Amid all this, you may lose restful sleep, which further complicates the situation. To improve this essential body function and support overall well-being, you can also turn to CBD solutions. Since being declared legal in the U.S. in 2018, hemp-derived CBD products have become available in a variety of forms including oils, foods and edibles. Pet-friendly options are also now available. For a hassle-free way to incorporate CBD into your routine, you can opt for gummies.

If you have difficulty sleeping, you should consider looking for sleep gummies. Millions of American adults struggle to get quality sleep, and many of them don't realize that hemp-derived CBD gummies can provide much-needed relief.

Understanding hemp gummies

These hemp-infused edibles offer benefits for adults. You can find them in many flavors, such as grape. These chewable supplements are among the easiest ways to enjoy the benefits of CBD. Plant-based CBD contains only tiny amounts of THC, making it a safer option than products with higher levels of this psychoactive compound. If you want to support better sleep quality, consider a product specifically formulated for that purpose. Well-established brands clearly state the intended use of each variety. When you start using the right ones, positive effects may unfold. They don't work like sleeping pills, which make you fall asleep almost instantly. Instead, their blend of natural ingredients helps promote relaxation and support restful sleep.

Most people fail to sleep properly because of overthinking and stress. CBD can soothe your mind and mental state, helping you manage those thoughts more effectively. You can rely on it to support your natural circadian rhythm so that you get peaceful sleep.

Buying CBD gummies for sleep

One of the most critical areas to consider is the manufacturing process, which reflects the product's safety and authenticity. It's essential to know where hemp extracts are sourced. Those produced and processed in the country are generally more reliable. Trusted brands don't shy away from having their products tested by third-party labs. Every product category or production method is unique. Some varieties require complex extraction processes to remove unwanted components. Good companies also avoid using artificial flavors or preservatives.

CBD gummies may help support sleep. You can take them at bedtime, but try not to delay your dose, as the effects can take some time to set in. At the same time, there's no need to rush, because you don't want to fall asleep too early. In general, many people take them about 30 minutes before going to bed. Once you start using them, you may prefer them over traditional sleep aids, which sometimes come with side effects such as allergies, dizziness, headaches, behavioral changes or excessive drowsiness. With gummies, you may feel more comfortable in several areas of your routine.

Philip bugged Sarah Ferguson's phone, ordered private investigator to follow her

A shocking new claim is rocking The Firm.

According to royal expert Andrew Lownie, Prince Philip had Sarah Ferguson investigated by a private detective before she divorced his son Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Philip allegedly bugged Sarah's phone

Lownie claimed on his Substack, The Lownie Report, that the late Duke of Edinburgh "ordered illegal wiretapping," as well as "audio bugs and hidden cameras" to watch the former Duchess of York.

Mirrorpix/Newscom/The Mega Agency

The alleged year-long investigation into Sarah took place after she and Andrew separated but before they officially divorced in 1996.

Philip and Sarah's history of conflict

Philip's relationship with his daughter-in-law was reportedly strained.

According to media personality and former politician Gyles Brandreth, Philip was revolted by Sarah after a photo surfaced in 1992 showing her alleged lover John Bryan sucking on her toes.

"The Duke of Edinburgh decided that, as far as he was concerned, 'enough was enough,'" Brandreth told DailyMail.com of the scandal. "He did not want, or need, to have anything more to do with her. For the remainder of Sarah's stay at Balmoral, his actions spoke louder than words."

Sarah's continuous peril

Sarah recently found herself entangled in drama once again when the full extent of her friendship with the late Jeffrey Epstein was revealed. She subsequent lost her titles and got evicted from Royal Lodge.

"She has always found a way to bounce back from the many public scandals she has faced over the years, normally with a well-paid public mea culpa and a promise to change her ways," a source told DailyMail.com. "[But] that's unlikely to happen this time. It's not just a question of her finances now, but her personal dealings with a serial predator and her willingness to lie about them."

"The phone has stopped ringing overnight. Even those who were willing to defend her less than a month ago don't want to have anything to do with her now," the insider said. "It's a disaster. Professionally and personally. Even she can't see a way of bouncing back."

Prince Harry's upcoming speech on housing has many people underwhelmed.

Harry will be the keynote speaker for the Ontario Real Estate Association's Power House Conference to discuss "service and leadership" with 450 agents.

"This is your chance to hear from influential leaders, political pundits and powerful insiders on all things real estate policy, housing supply and the Canadian economy," the organizers shared, adding that participants will have the opportunity to hear "leaders, political pundits and powerful insiders" discuss real estate policy, housing supply and Canada's economy.

OREA highlighted the event in their promotional ads by saying people can "see Prince Harry, in person."

"His work is dedicated to creating positive and lasting change for communities and the planet, particularly in advancing conversations around resilience and healing," the group shared about the prince, who has no real estate experience.

"Now, he won't be speaking about real estate. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, will bring a powerful message of service and leadership to the Power House stage," they later clarified. "Trust us, you're not going to want to miss this one!"

Due to Harry's past as a working royal, X users viewed the opportunity in Canada as a fall from grace.

"Once again, people are unaware of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's reputation in Canada. Living in the USA no one in Canada cares," one user wrote. "He obviously has a fan at the Ontario Real Estate Conference committee that put his name forward. How low he has fallen. At least he is working a little. I'm sure they would love your comments about Harry! Hope they give him a hat!"

Sarah Ferguson scored staggering payday for just 20 days of work

FAITH MORAN/MEGA TheMegaAgency.com

Before Sarah Ferguson was embroiled in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, she was securing six-figure paychecks.

According to royal biographer Andrew Lownie, World Online paid the author $350K for 20 days of work to be their 1999 spokesperson. World Online marketing director Rob van der Linden offered the mom of two the position, which included a $150,000 non-refundable advance to participate in the company's stock option plan.

Lownie wrote in a Stubstack post that Ferguson was able to use the company's private jet to travel around Europe, even getting to sit in first class. During her time with World Online, the famous redhead was reportedly given access to an assistant, security services, beauty treatments and a stylist.

While Ferguson's time as a royal and public figure once included lavish perks, her career opportunities are now dwindling. As Wonderwall previously reported, Ferguson's upcoming children's book, Flora and Fern: Along the Way, was shelved after it was revealed she called Epstein a "supreme friend" in an email.

"This is yet another indication that she is now considered a toxic brand," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich said. "Charities have dropped her, and friends are distancing themselves. She has a bleak future in England."

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams had a similar opinion.

"The axing of her children's book shows she has no future as a children's author," he said. "It is highly unlikely she'll find a way back from this."

Ferguson's rep later addressed why she chose to email Epstein after denouncing his crimes against children and young women.

"Like many people, she was taken in by [Epstein's] lies. As soon as she was aware of the extent of the allegations against him, she not only cut off contact but condemned him publicly, to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with pedophilia," the statement read.

"She has talked openly about wanting to reinvent herself. The idea of a raunchier series, something completely different, has definitely been floated."

Andrew's 'quickest road to public redemption' revealed

JRAA/ZDS/WENN/MEGA

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein put an end to his royal career, but one royal expert believes there may be a possible "road to public redemption" for the former duke.

"I think that Andrew's quickest road to some kind of public redemption would be to engage with the American authorities and to shed some light on what he knew about Jeffrey Epstein and what he saw behind closed doors," royal historian Ed Owens told Daily Express.

"I think there is an understanding on his part that he is never going to restore his status, but he has an opportunity to put the record straight," Owens stated, adding that U.S. authorities "would come at some personal risk to Andrew."

RPE / MEGA TheMegaAgency.com

Andrew could be in hot water again after Congress voted for the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.

Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi told BBC's Newsnight he wants Mountbatten-Windsor to share what he knows with Congress. "I would go so far as to subpoena him," Krishnamoorthi said.

"Come clean. Come before the U.S. Congress, voluntarily testify. Don't wait for a subpoena," Krishnamoorthi continued. "Come and testify and tell us what you know."

Supplied by Capital Pictures / MEGA

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre previously accused Mountbatten-Windsor of assault, and her posthumous memoir led to the scandal resurfacing. Following the book's release, Buckingham Palace announced the former duke would no longer be able to use the "prince" title or live at Royal Lodge.

"A lot of work has been done by the Palace to implement a policy which has the effect of once and for all keeping Andrew from public view," Owens noted. "They know that he is a weeping sore that can continue to weep and would doubtless rather avoid that happening publicly."

In a formal statement, King Charles III and Queen Camilla shared their support with survivors of abuse after stripping Mountbatten-Windsor of his royal estate.

"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honors of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation."

"These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him," the statement continued. "Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."

"That's how you control a narrative before it controls you. If they'd waited and then reacted to public outcry, it would make them look weak and able to be influenced."

Diana flub sparks outrage

Who knew holiday ornaments could be so divisive?

Princess Diana Christmas Tree Ornament

The late Princess of Wales is commemorated in the form of a $48 ornament. However, the public seemed baffled by how little the object — which depicts Diana with her signature "bixie" hairdo and iconic sheep sweater — resembles the real woman.

Selfridges

Diana memorably donned two different red wool Warm & Wonderful sweaters to polo matches in the early '80s. Both featured a single black sheep amid a herd of white sheep. On the second occasion, the princess wore the sweater over a white collared shirt with a black tie at the neck.

Social Media Reaction

People on the internet were outraged by the portrayal of Diana as well as other members of The Firm.

"They're all hideous!" one commentator exclaimed below an article about the decorations.

"Who would even want such a thing?" a second person questioned.

"You must be a fool if you pay that for a bauble," a third chimed in.

"I think they need to get a real artist to make these for that price," another added.

Selfridges

"They look cheap and nasty. Seems that Selfridges have lost the plot. They should be embarrassed at having produced such tat," another said.

"I can't imagine anyone buying these," an additional person noted.

The Christmas tree ornaments resembling Prince William and Kate Middleton also drew heat.

"I definitely wouldn't buy any of these. Catherine's is a mess!" one person pointed out.

"Poor Kate!" another said.

Diana Allegedly Hated Christmas

According to reports, Princess Diana did not enjoy Christmas — especially not when she was forced to spend it with the rest of the royal family.

According to royal biographer and former friend Andrew Morton, who wrote Diana: Her True Story, the mother of two despised going with King Charles III to the royal family's Sandringham Estate for the holidays.

"I do all the presents and Charles signs the cards," Andrew recalled Diana telling him, adding that Christmas at Sandringham was "terrifying and so disappointing" with "no boisterous behavior, lots of tension, silly behavior, silly jokes that outsiders would find odd, but insiders understood."

Diana's former hairdresser Richard Dalton also backed the claim.

While the Sussexes weren't included in the drop, Meghan is working on her own holiday launch for As Ever and With Love, Meghan. "I love the holiday season," the Duchess of Sussex said in the trailer for With Love, Meghan. "It's about finding time to connect with the people we love, embracing traditions and making new ones."

Before she released the teaser, the Suits star discussed the special while on a panel for Fortune. "Well, the holiday special is coming out in November. It's a really good one," Meghan said when asked if her show was renewed for a third season.

"So I think looking at that format — again, it's a year of learns — so we're able to say, 'Eight episodes for two seasons — it's a lot of work," Meghan added. "And having done Suits for seven years, I remember what goes into a production. I also recognize how much people want content in different sizes. Part of what we're testing out now is, it's amazing to sit and watch a show for 30 minutes, but how can I give you a recipe in two minutes? And where can I share that with you? And how that continues to grow As Ever."

Meghan and Harry's production company celebrated the news that the former actress is developing a series of Christmas-themed cooking episodes. "This December, join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration," Archewell said in a statement. "Together, friends and family deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs — with simple how-tos to follow at home. It's a holiday wonder with warmth, tradition, and a generous dose of joy."

Sarah Ferguson 'shaken to the core' by loss of 'royal safety net'

MEGA

Sarah Ferguson is grappling with the loss of her lavish lifestyle, as the author and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were forced to leave Royal Lodge due to their ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

"She is leaning on trusted staff members," British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital

Not only were Ferguson and Mountbatten-Windsor asked to leave Royal Lodge, but the former duchess lost career opportunities once it was revealed she called Epstein a "supreme friend" in an email.

"Her nerves are frayed. She is shaken to the core by the loss of her royal safety net. She fears further humiliation and worries that the serious allegations will affect her girls' standing," Chard claimed. "The couple's daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have distanced themselves from their parents' scandals."

For years, Ferguson has stood beside her ex, but she could now change her stance.

"Sarah has made it well known among her staff and others that she no longer believes in Andrew and is preparing to go her own way after years of loyalty and public defense of her ex-husband," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told the outlet. "She's described as 'massively on edge' and 'panicking' about her own future."

"While Sarah and Andrew are currently both still residing in Windsor, they are reportedly sleeping at different ends of the sprawling Royal Lodge," Fordwich continued. "They do get together to discuss their respective uncertain futures."

While they were once close, it seems their friendship is now strained.

"While their relationship had long been described as unusually close for divorced exes — cohabiting and supporting one another through public crises — there is now a real rupture," Fordwich said.

Royal biographer Robert Jobson revealed how Ferguson is handling the public scrutiny and isolation.

"I've known her for many years, and I'm not saying that she hasn't done anything wrong — because it has been documented what she did wrong," Jobson told Hello!. "What I'm saying is, is it the same? Should she be in the same boat as Andrew? I don't necessarily think so."

"I think we should all be aware of people's mental health, whether they're ex-prince, princess, ex-duchess, whatever," he added.

Beatrice's husband had secret role with Andrew

James Whatling / MEGA TheMegaAgency.com

Before Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was kicked out of the Royal Lodge, Princess Beatrice's husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, reportedly helped the ex-royal with his mansion.

According to Daily Express, Mapelli Mozzi, who is a property developer, was helping his father-in-law rehabilitate his mansion. Over the years, there have been reports of the Royal Lodge needing extensive repairs, but the project will have to go on without the ex-duke. Mapelli Mozzi's role in the project was presumably axed due to his in-laws being kicked out of the estate.

In recent years, Mountbatten-Windsor has lived in the shadows of the royal family due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The ex-prince resigned from duties after Epstein's victim Virginia Giuffre accused the former Duke of York of assault, but the scandal resurfacing led to a new set of consequences. In Giuffre's posthumous memoir, the author wrote in detail about her alleged abuse.

Following the book's release, Buckingham Palace confirmed Mountbatten-Windsor will no longer be able to call himself "prince" or Royal Lodge home. Now, Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson will have to make new living arrangements.

"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honors of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation."

"These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him," the statement continued. "Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."

Both Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson have avoided the public amid scrutiny.

Beatrice is also a Countess

Beatrice's husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, is an Italian count, which makes her and their two daughters countesses. (His son from a previous relationship is also a count.)

The princess and the British property developer, who is the son of Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, were first romantically linked in 2018. They tied the knot two years later in 2020.

"They are very suited to each other and have known each other for a long time. I've never seen him so happy," Alessandro told DailyMail.com of the couple.

How Is Beatrice a Princess?

The mother of two was born a princess. Her paternal grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, was the reigning monarch from 1952 until her death in 2022.

According to letters patent from 1917, members of the royal family are entitled to princely titles and the HRH style only if they are male-line grandchildren of the monarch or the eldest son of the heir.

Is Beatrice's Title in Jeopardy?

After Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, lost their official titles over their past ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein, many wondered if Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie, would suffer the same fate.

However, King Charles III reportedly wants his nieces to keep their places within The Firm.

"It was agreed that not only would there be no action taken by the king against Beatrice and Eugenie, but they would be allowed to accept new official royal roles," journalist Richard Eden told DailyMail.com.

His Majesty's former royal butler Grant Harrold told Daily Express, "King Charles III is very fond of his nieces and gets on with both of them really well. He will encourage them to come to family events, he will want them to be included in those private family celebrations."

Social Media Users Rage Over Meghan's Apparent Diana Tribute

Meghan poses and dresses similarly to Prince Harry's late mom in multiple shots for the publication. In one picture, the Suits star sits on the ground, barefoot and cross-legged while wearing a white shirt and black trousers, just as Diana did in a shoot from the '90s. In another, Meghan dons a red gown similar to one worn by her late mother-in-law.

"This is FOUL!" one X user commented below Harper's Bazaar's post about the With Love, Meghan star.

"Not just 'foul' but scary. I can understand that some clothing is classic and timeless – so it's easy to unintentionally duplicate some of Diana's outfits. But parroting Diana clothing items + outfits + studio poses, borders on psychotic, obsessive, abnormal behavior. This ain't healthy, y'all. Not at all," a second person wrote.

"Talk about cosplaying Diana again," a third person chimed in.

"I would feel weird if my husband was styled like my dead mom, personally," a fourth person said.

Meghan's Paris Slip-up

Meghan recently weathered another scandal related to Princess Diana. During Paris Fashion Week in early October, the Duchess of Sussex made headlines when she took to social media to share a video of herself riding in a limo with her feet kicked up as the car drove near the Pont de l'Alma tunnel, where the former Princess of Wales died in a 1997 car crash.

Meghan Faces Backlash

People on the internet were outraged over Meghan's social media post.

"Instead of avoiding those places that the late Princess Diana went to, she went and recreated them, how evil," one X user wrote.

"Why would she film the place where Prince Harry's mother died? Moreover, why would she post it on social media for the world to see? Why?" a second person wondered.

"This is beyond disturbing. She had nothing whatsoever to do with Princess Diana, so why is she doing it?" another questioned.

Meghan embraces her mistakes

Meghan Markle is comfortable with her imperfections, something she touched upon in a recent interview.

Throughout her transition back into Hollywood, the Suits star's projects have been called a "flop," but Meghan hasn't given up on her ambitions.

"You learn not to do it again. If it all goes swimmingly, you don't learn from it. If you don't learn anything, you're not going to grow," Meghan, who launched As Ever this year, told Harper's Bazaar when asked about her mistakes.

During the chat, Meghan Markle gushed over husband Prince Harry, who is also her business partner for Archewell.

"He loves me so boldly, fully, and he also has a different perspective because he sees media that I wouldn't," Meghan raved. "No one in the world loves me more than him, so I know he's always going to make sure that he has my back. You have someone who just has this childlike wonder and playfulness. I was so drawn to that, and he brought that out in me."

Meghan shared she enjoys Harry's "playfulness," which has "translated into every part of our life," including their work. "I want us to play and have fun and explore and be creative," she noted.

Meghan admitted it's great for her two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to watch their mother build her company.

"My office is right by the kitchen, and I love that I can work from home," Meghan raved. "It's a great luxury. (Lilibet) comes and sits on my lap when I'm in the middle of the meeting, whether it's about P(rofit) and L(oss) for my brand or it's about something creative."

"I'm a mom with kids at that age where they are constantly learning something new. I watch them face things that feel completely insurmountable every day," Meghan said. "But you can remember and say, 'I know it seems really hard right now, but trust me, that's going to come so easily soon.' I can give myself the same grace as a founder. There's no such thing as perfect. I, too, get to make mistakes."

"Fergie's abandoned him, he's lost his attraction, now he's no longer in Royal Lodge and a Prince," royal biographer Andrew Lownie told Daily Express. "And she's gonna do her own thing. She's kind of gonna, it's a bit like Meghan and Harry, lots and lots of parallels there."

Ferguson and Mountbatten-Windsor continued to live together at Royal Lodge, but the duo now has to leave the mansion. After Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir was published, her assault allegations against the disgraced figure resurfaced. Due to the severity of Giuffre's claims, King Charles III formally removed his brother from the Windsor property.

"So I don't know where she goes. She may go to Switzerland, I think she may, you know, could go quietly somewhere in London, keep low for a while, but I think she'll be back," Andrew Lownie said about her future plans. "There is a contract between the people and the monarchy. They get respect when they serve us well. When they behave in ways seen as self-serving, they're in trouble."

In 2023, Charles asked Mountbatten-Windsor to leave the estate, but he failed to move out before His Majesty's coronation. This past year, Charles finally made the call to evict his brother.

"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence."

A Total "Rebrand" Of Her Image

According to royal expert Christopher Wilson, Ferguson has overhauled her image before and is likely to do it again. "Sarah seems certain all is not lost. Public favor, she feels, can be hers once again with her planned rebrand as a 'global empowerment leader,'" the journalist wrote for Daily Mail.

"Despite all the scandals and scams, she's always managed to bounce back," Wilson added. "And here we go again, barely a fortnight after being kicked out of the royal family, the former Duchess of York is trumpeting plans to restore her battered reputation."

Although some believe the mother of two won't be down for long, her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, allegedly want to confront Sarah about her behavior amid the scandal.

"Beatrice and Eugenie have no choice," a source told Woman's Day. "They have to stop their mom from embarrassing them all again. They feel the only way is an 'intervention'-type meeting with their husbands, Edoardo [Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi] and Jack [Brooksbank] and quite literally take control."

However, the conversation won't be easy. "They're worried about their mum and how she's going to handle this ultimatum," the same insider said. "She's always been the one making the decisions. But not anymore. Beatrice and Eugenie have leverage now."
