Not Just Harry! Prince William Plans to Banish 'Disgraced Uncle' from Royal Family Once He's King-He's 'Toxic' to His 'Brand'
The news comes after reports of Prince Wiliam wanting to keep Prince Andrew out of the Royal family's business. 'Prince William has long had a strained and distant relationship with Andrew,' British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News in May 2025, adding that William has 'a grudge against his disgraced uncle.'Andrew's reputation suffered after his involvement with convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. he resigned from his public roles with the royal family in May 2020, and had his honorary military affiliations and royal charitable patronages removed by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in January 2022. He was also a defendant in a civil sexual assault lawsuit filed by Giuffre in New York State.
In late 2024, Hello! magazine reported that Eugenie and Beatrice were taking turns to visit their father. 'The girls take the grandchildren to visit him most weekends,' a source told the outlet. 'They are spending far more time with him now than they have done in recent years.' The anonymous source continued, 'They are quite close to their father; they seem to be quite protective towards him.'
When William becomes King, he's reported to have a stricter attitude towards his disgraced uncle. Fordwich said, the Prince of Wales wants his uncle 'completely excluded' from the royal family. '[William is] very in touch with the public. Every public opinion poll has Andrew at the bottom, reinforcing Prince William's stance. Once king, no doubt, Prince William will ensure Andrew is completely excluded from royal life, as well as all public appearances.'
'King Charles is said to be fed up with 'the Andrew problem,' although he has a softer approach to his brother as he is family,' Chard said. 'Prince William, however, has never been a fan of his uncle. He has no time for him. Allegedly, he was also disappointed that Andrew did not welcome his wife into the family with open arms all those years ago.'
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams also explained to Fox News that, while Charles 'may privately feel sympathy' toward Andrew, William 'has to be kept at arm's length' from his Uncle to preserve his reputation as King. 'His best future is well behind him,' said Fitzwilliams.

Halsey Reveals These Two Fan-Favorite ‘Badlands' Tracks Are Getting a Music Video 10 Years Later
Halsey fans, it's time to dust off your blue wigs. The singer is revisiting two fan-favorite Badlands tracks a full decade after their original release, announcing Friday (Aug. 15) that she'll soon be releasing a double feature music video for 'Drive' and 'Gasoline.' In a video teaser for the project posted on Instagram, Halsey appears in their signature light blue hair from the 2015 Badlands era, looking solemn while driving in a pink convertible through familiar, grungey terrain. At one point, the musician appears in a bikini as a pink hue saturates the screen; in another shot, she runs dramatically through an apartment hallway while all the lights flicker. More from Billboard Halsey Reflects on Viral 'Mallsey' Video: 'Everyone Will Remember That Until I Die' Halsey Is 'Freaking Out' After Announcing New Song 'Hand That Feeds' With Amy Lee of Evanescence From Rihanna to Lady Gaga: 6 Artists Who Launched Their Own Makeup-Specific Lines '10 YEARS LATER …,' reads text on screen. 'WE NEVER LEFT.' In the caption, Halsey announced, 'GASOLINE and DRIVE double feature. coming soon.' The news comes almost exactly 10 years after the New Jersey native dropped their debut album on Aug. 28, 2015, quickly breaking through as one of pop's shiniest new stars. The project debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and spawned some of Halsey's most quintessential singles to date, including 'Colors' and 'New Americana.' And while Halsey has released four albums since — including 2024's The Great Impersonator — Badlands has always held a special place in her heart. In 2020, the hitmaker celebrated the five-year anniversary of the album by releasing their first-ever live album, Badlands (Live From Webster Hall). 'It's been a little surreal to watch the perception of the album evolve so drastically over time,' Halsey wrote on X on the album's eighth anniversary in 2023. 'But. I always knew what it was. Special. If you were there for the journey, I love you. You changed my life.' In addition to celebrating a decade of Badlands, the star is currently fresh off of touring in support of Great Impersonator (although the nightly setlist often changed and featured songs from Halsey's past albums). The artist had been slated to perform a final show in Istanbul on Aug. 28, but recently canceled the performance while citing logistical issues. 'your safety is the most important thing to me,' Halsey explained Friday on X, addressing upset fans who were planning to go to the canceled show. 'you guys are crazy sometimes + put yourselves in 'I don't care' situations like camping in dangerous places, or not drinking water all day. and I know it's bc you'd do anything for the music. but there are other moments where I have to draw the line cause I care about you ok? We're gonna make it right when we can, and I can be sure this won't happen again.'

Aug. 16 (UPI) -- On this date in history: In 1812, British forces foiled plans for a U.S. invasion of Canada by capturing the city of Detroit. In 1896, the North Country gold rush began with the discovery of gold in the Klondike region of Canada's Yukon Territory. In 1948, baseball legend Babe Ruth died in New York of cancer at age 53. In 1954, the first edition of Sports Illustrated was published. File Photo by Gary I Rothstein/UPI In 1977, Elvis Presley, the king of rock 'n' roll, died of heart failure at his home in Memphis at age 42. In 1987, a Northwest Airlines jet bound for Phoenix crashed on takeoff from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, killing 156 people. A 4-year-old girl, Celia Cichan, was the sole survivor. In 2005, a West Caribbean Airways flight from Colombia crashed in a remote area of northwest Venezuela, killing 160 people.

In 2013, the MV Thomas Aquinas ferry carrying nearly 700 people collided with a cargo ship and sank off the Philippines. Authorities later said the accident killed about 60 people and many others were reported missing.
