British royal family news divulges that disgraced Prince Andrew and his live-in ex-wife Sarah Ferguson are set to relive their worst shames when a new book about their marriage drops.
Royal biographer Andrew Lownie is working on his final entry in a trilogy about royal marriages, this one to be about “Randy Andy” and “Fergie.”
Express calls Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson the “happiest divorced couple in the world” but Lownie’s book promises to revisit their painful past, full of affairs and indiscretions.
Royal Family News – New Book Dissects Andrew and Fergie’s Marriage
Lownie told Daily Express US: “This is a couple who got divorced within 10 years of marriage, and yet, 30 years, 40 years later, and in effect, are still living together. How did we get to this position?
Is that really the true position?” Truth be told, we’d rather not entertain positional visions of these two scandal-plagued individuals.

Were Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to give marriage another shot, they’d reportedly have King Charles III’s “blessing.” Ahead, what the Duke and Duchess of York’s second nuptials could look like. Plus, how their Christmas 2023 appearance “shifted the dial.” And why one royal biographer says Andrew and Ferguson’s “current arrangement” is likely to continue.
The king would give Andrew and Sarah his ‘blessing’ to get married again
It could be wedding bells for Andrew and Ferguson, the royal exes who have remained close decades after their 10-year marriage. Buckingham Palace hasn’t announced the union, but the Daily Mail’s Ephraim Hardcastle heard rumblings.
”A source whispers that Charles has indicated to Andrew and Fergie that he would give his blessing,” Hardcastle wrote. Meanwhile, Andrew, 63, doesn’t need to ask permission to marry because he’s not among the top six people in line to the throne.

There is a German saying which translates as, “All bad things come in threes.” It is one Prince Andrew may well be uttering under his breath this weekend, with reports that the disgraced British royal is to the be the subject of yet another feature-length profile piece.
Andrew is already the central subject of two rival dramas, both inspired by his disastrous interview with the BBC’s Newsnight team in 2019, in which he attempted to restore his reputation but succeeded in only making things worse as he reflected without apology on his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. “I was too honourable,” was just one misguided comment that inspired his mother, the now late Queen Elizabeth II, to announce speedily that his royal highness title would no longer be used, and he would no longer be seen on public royal duty.

Prince Andrew was the pampered favorite son of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. But could her indulgent attitude to her third child, along with his resentment at being “the spare,” have set the stage for one of the monarchy’s biggest scandals in recent memory? A new documentary suggests it did.

King Charles III and Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge dispute isn’t simply about living arrangements, a royal author says. It may be part of a “wider fight” relating to other members of the British royal family; his daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

The Duke of York’s longtime home, the Royal Lodge, may not be his for much longer. King Charles reportedly wants Andrew out of the property which the 63-year-old currently occupies along with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
The duke doesn’t need “such a large garden and house,” Andrew Lownie, a royal biographer, told the U.K.’s Express. Located in Windsor, England, nearby Windsor Castle, the Royal Lodge boasts 30 rooms, with the surrounding grounds totaling 98 acres.

Prince Andrew could get help from his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to improve his public image. However, a royal author thinks if that were to happen the Duke of York’s children would ultimately be unsuccessful.

According to royal biographer Andrew Lownie, Beatrice, 34, and Eugenie, 33, have the potential to be a “neat way” to “rehabilitate” Andrew (via Express).
Although the Traitor King author believes Beatrice and Eugenie’s help could only go so far, considering their relatively lower place in the line of succession and where they’re at in their personal lives.

King Charles III has been ruling since Queen Elizabeth’s death back in September 2022. However, his official coronation does not happen until May 6. Though Charles has already said his ceremony will be simpler than his mother’s was 70 years ago, all eyes are not on him; rather, they’ve been on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who only announced in mid-April their own plans for attending the coronation.
Prince Harry revealed that he is attending, while Meghan is staying back in California. Though Charles has only ever spoken highly of the couple in public, royal experts say the king is “relieved” that Meghan isn’t attending.

The invitations to King Charles III’s coronation have been unveiled. Yet still no word from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on whether or not they’re going. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been called “childish” for not RSVPing, a commentator thinks they might’ve already done so. Albeit with one ask, that the royal family keeps it to themselves.

As the coronation looms the guest list seems to have question marks next to Harry and Meghan’s names. Or does it?
A royal commentator thinks the couple might’ve already RSVP’d yes and simply not announced it publicly. They “have through their actions signalled [sic] that they do not believe that they owe the public anything,” Kinsey Schofield told Express.

(This article contains some spoilers for the season 4 premiere of “The Crown” on Netflix.)
Four seasons in, we know “The Crown” doesn’t shy away from dramatic tragedies and threats, especially as they relate to the royal family — that is, in fact, kind of the whole thing with this show. And this season opened with a bang — literally. In the season premiere, Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten is killed by a bomb that was planted in his fishing boat by the Provisional Irish Republican Army — better known generally as the Ira — in 1979.
The episode shows us an otherwise serene summer day in August, a day where Lord Mountbatten (Charles Dance) has decided to take a boat out for fishing with several family members including his daughter, his son-in-law, and his grandsons. He’s unaware that a Provisional Irish Republican Army member named Thomas McMahon has put a radio-controlled bomb on the boat,...
