Prince Andrew Reportedly Sparks Fresh 'Siege Of Royal Lodge' With Royal Staff Clash
The royal reportedly conducted himself in an unruly manner towards a construction worker on the palace grounds, and now he has stepped on King Charles' toes.
Prince Andrew has faced several threats of removal from the royal family due to his strained relationship with the King and his alleged infuriating actions for years.
Prince Andrew Went Off On A Worker Installing Traffic Control Measures
The Prince was reportedly out on his routine horse rides around the Windsor Great Park estate, which spanned across 4,800-acre and falls under Charles' jurisdiction as Ranger of the park.
Andrew has resided at the Royal Lodge for over two decades despite the disgraceful removal of his royal privileges due to his Jeffrey Epstein.
However, Andrew has seemingly been displeased with the speed bump along his driving route from his expansive mansion, which always keeps his raving speed in check every time.
The king brother's existing anger over the bump probably fueled his most recent outrage as soon as he saw a worker placing traffic humps on another section of the estate. Per RadarOnline, he reportedly screamed from his horse, asking "what the f-ck" the worker was doing.
The Prince's Antics Have Struck King Charles' Last Nerves
Unfortunately, Andrew's 30-room mansion inside the royal lodge is far from luxurious and is a man-made condition caused by his nonchalance. A source near the palace noted that the building is gradually deteriorating, with Andrew ignoring about $700,000 worth of repairs.
The king has reached out to the disgraced Prince over the situation, urging him to take action and put the estate in shape, but Andrew could care less or take matters into his own hands to fix things.
Charles is reportedly furious he lashed out at royal staff, and thinks he is a very "entitled id-ot" who would lose his home very soon. Insiders call this phase the "siege of Royal Lodge" as Charles could evict him any minute now.
Sources have spoken on the volatile nature of Andrew towards family and legal boundaries, with past records of him being unruly to a female gardener and a former palace maid.
The maid, Charlotte Briggs, recalled practically racing over four flights of stairs to address a certain problem Andrew identified and insulted her over.
The Consequence Of Prince Andrew's Connection To Jeffrey Epstein
Although the Prince and the royal family vehemently denied any association with Epstein, The Blast shared that he still suffered severe consequences from the damning allegations in the files.
The 65-year-old's name was mentioned about 69 times in the Epstein papers, accusing him of multiple acts of sexual abuse and assault. His accuser, Virginia Giuffre, revealed that the Prince allegedly forcefully had sex with him three times, and once as a 17-year-old teenager.
When the civil sexual assault lawsuit dropped in 2022, the late Queen Elizabeth immediately demoted him from any roles as a senior royal. However, he is permitted to attend private and family functions.
Last year, new documents were unsealed, further reigniting public scrutiny against Andrew and emboldening Charles' resolve to permanently remove Andrew from any public royal duties.
Why Prince William And The Duke Of York Fell Out
Andrew's complicated relationship with his family is very multifaceted, to the point that he even has an ongoing feud with his nephew and the future king of England, as reported by The Blast.
Their crooked relationship stemmed from his mean and unwarranted comments towards Kate, as royal expert Andrew Lownie revealed in his book "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York."
The Royal biographer declared that Andrew's comments were fueled by envy that his nephew's wife had become such an authoritative figure in the royal family since his mother's death.
Lownie described Kate as a "saving grace" to the royal family, making it super weird that anyone would make mean comments about her. "I'd have thought Prince Andrew would respect William as future king, though than to be nasty about his wife," the biographer added.
The current situation is also something William would rather not deal with due to his very demanding schedule, but his back is entirely turned on the Duke of York. Essentially, the entire family feels let down by Andrew following his current patterns.
Prince Andrew's Future Return To Royal Role Bleak Under Prince William's Monarchy
Aside from Andrew's weird commentary on his wife, William views his uncle as a great risk to the reputation of the throne. When William becomes king, there is likely no future for Andrew to resume back in his role as a senior royal.
King Charles and his son have also jointly agreed to keep his public presence within the monarchy as limited as possible. In line with this directive, Andrew was absent, alongside his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie, during the Trooping the Color parade.
This year also marked Andrew's exclusion from the annual Garter Day ceremony for the fourth year in a row. The Prince of Wales also kept his distance from his uncle during the royal family's Easter Sunday service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor.
Will King Charles make a move on Prince Andrew's impending exit from the palace?

Even Volkswagen Is Doing Horsepower Subscriptions Now
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Subscriptions are coming for us all, in every aspect of life, and all we can do is avoid them. That just became a little tougher for owners of Volkswagen's smallest EV, the ID.3, in the U.K. See, we're used to hearing about subscriptions for improved performance and creature comforts on luxury cars, but VW's trialing BMW and Mercedes-Benz's greatest hits of consumer-hostile policies and gating an additional 27 horsepower behind a $22.30 monthly payment on the ID.3. Alternatively, owners can shell out $878 to unlock that power permanently, for the life of the vehicle. This news comes courtesy of AutoExpress , and it's alarming for several reasons. First, again, the ID.3 isn't exactly a bargain, starting at the equivalent of $41,770, but it's also no Mercedes EQE. Second, as the article points out, the car is registered at 228 hp stock, which affects insurance rates, even though owners only get 201 hp before subscribing. So, you're paying a penalty on your insurance premium based on power that you can only access if you give Volkswagen yet more money every month. This monthly fee also lifts torque from the standard 195 lb-ft to 228 lb-ft, and VW says that the increase in output doesn't impact range—so at least there's that. The optional software upgrade applies to all trims of the ID.3 except for the speedy GTX variant, which has around 320 horsepower and costs $21,600 more. All told, that's roughly $63K—for VW's smallest EV! And you thought the Golf R was pricey. The more I learn about this thing, the less sad I am that it's not offered in the States. Side note: This is a $63,000 car. Hendryk Meyer/Volkswagen The best outcome we can hope for in these cases is that the outcry against it becomes so loud that VW relents. That's worked to some degree on this side of the pond, with BMW's heated-seat policies. But the retractions don't last forever, and automakers are pretty much set on biding their time until software-locking everything is normalized, and they can get away with all of it. Got tips?

Nearly £1,000 raised for Prostate Cancer UK at classic car picnic
A classic car picnic held in Oxfordshire has raised almost £1,000 for Prostate Cancer UK. The MG and Classic Car Charity Picnic at Millets Farm Centre near Marcham saw an 'eclectic mix' of vehicles brought along in the name of the charity. The MG car club was formed in 1930 and since then has looked to celebrate automobiles in particular of the MG brand. On Sunday, August 10 the group got together between 9am and 3pm for its latest annual picnic at which a record amount was raised for Prostate Cancer UK. READ MORE: Open to all cars, old Fords, Rolls Royces, Rovers and some American classics were among the 130 on display with £844 being raised in total for the charity. 'It was a very relaxed event,' said Neil Hyett, the main organiser of the show. 'People could turn up when they wanted.' The 71-year-old retiree added: 'Prostate cancer is an important charity as many of the classic car owners are susceptible and we get a lot of support for it. 'A few people there have had prostate cancer. It's a very relevant charity to owners of classic cars.' He added that he was grateful for the support of Millets Farm Centre. One in eight men will get prostate cancer in their life with the charity offering support to those impacted and funding for research. The event was fully put on by volunteers and saw people displaying their own cars while viewing other vehicles and picnicking.
