Prince William has 'grudge' against Prince Andrew and wants him to 'vanish'
A royal expert has claimed that Prince William has a serious 'grudge' against his uncle Prince Andrew, and would prefer the disgraced Duke of York to 'vanish' from the public eye altogether It looks like things might go from bad to worse for Prince Andrew when the time comes for Prince William to take the throne. A royal expert has claimed that the Prince of Wales has a very "strained" relationship with his uncle, the disgraced Duke of York, and even holds a real "grudge" against Andrew. The expert further claimed that, when Prince William eventually wears the crown, he is likely to "banish" Andrew from even family events. Andrew, who was known to be very close with his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth, stepped back from official royal duties and was stripped of his 'HRH' styling back in 2019, after a car crash interview with Newsnight regarding his long-term friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. More recently, Andrew has generated more negative headlines for the Royal Family due to his connection with an alleged Chinese spy, a revelation that saw him "banned" from attending the House of Windsor's Christmas celebrations at Sandringham. However, King Charles has still allowed his younger brother to attend a number of family events, including the Royal Family's recent Easter festivities, which sources have said is a point of contention between Charles and the heir to the throne. The royal expert, Hilary Fordwich, said to Fox News that during William's reign, Andrew should not expect to be invited to events like this. "Prince William has long had a strained and distant relationship with Andrew," the expert said, adding that he holds "a grudge against his disgraced uncle. Andrew's future within the Royal Family is beyond bleak, since Prince William is firmly opposed to any public rehabilitation with no foreseeable path back. He wants Andrew to vanish from public view". The Mirror's Royal Editor, Russell Myers, recently echoed these sentiments on True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat, remarking: "Is it a convenient truth that Andrew was going? William has no time for him. "And indeed, William was overruled by the King when he said, I mean, William was absolutely influential in banishing him at that time, when he was forced to step back from duties. But when the King decided, after the Queen's death, that he was going to be brought back into the family fold, William said absolutely not, and the King overruled him. "We have this sort of interesting power struggle going on, and I imagine you know that hopefully in a long time in the future, when William is King, he [Andrew] will be nowhere to be seen around the family." Whilst Andrew attended the Easter celebrations, William and Kate spent the holiday elsewhere with their three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven. A royal source told The Mirror, "William has no time for his uncle. This Easter was about spending time with his own family, but he would far prefer a situation where he doesn't have to spend time with him." King Charles may be willing to include his brother in some family events, but he is reported to be at loggerheads with Andrew over the Duke of York's refusal to vacate his 30-room mansion, Royal Lodge, after being offered a smaller home on the royal Windsor estate. The two brothers have reached something of a stalemate, with Andrew insisting he has a 75-year "cast iron lease" with the Crown Estate—not the King himself —that he signed in 2002. He's said to have told friends he "is going nowhere" and even begun managing the undertaking of much-needed renovations of the property himself in an attempt to save money, with a source explaining: "The Duke has been walking around the estate a lot recently, speaking to staff and asking for tips on managing the grounds. 'The whole place has fallen into disrepair and needs a lot of attention. He's been asking about different kinds of trees and shrubs and whether it would be possible to move or relocate certain trees. He's certainly got a spring in his step and is a lot cheerier of late, which is surprising given everything he has going on."

Tipster helps Toronto police make arrest in U.S. cold case where 2 people killed
An anonymous tip led police officers to recently arrest an American man allegedly hiding out in Toronto decades after a 1998 drunk driving collision in Florida left two people dead. Toronto police confirmed that officers from their fugitive squad arrested Patrick Lutts Jr. on Feb. 26, near Bloor and Jarvis streets at the request of U.S. authorities. Court records show that an anonymous tipster called a Florida tipster hotline back in November 2023 to provide details on his whereabouts. The 51-year-old, who was living in an apartment on Isabella Street, was also going by the alias of Pat Lighthelp, as Toronto police tracked his whereabouts several times over an 18-month span.

Lutts was allegedly involved in a three-vehicle crash that left a man and a woman dead. Story continues below advertisement Lutts, who had a Georgia licence, allegedly had a blood alcohol level of .272 — three times the legal limit — when he was tested a few hours later, according to the court documents. The following March, Lutts was charged with DUI manslaughter and a warrant was issued for his arrest but the Texas-born man was never found in Florida. Three years later, he was arrested in Manchester, Conn., after being allegedly involved in another drunk driving incident before being shipped back to Florida. Lutts pled not guilty to the initial charges in Florida before he posted a US$5,000 bond. The 51-year-old man never showed up for his Oct. 1, 2003 trial. Court records show that Lutts initially attempted to come into Canada through Niagara Falls on Sept. 29, 2003, but was turned away. It is unclear when he came to Canada but it is believed it occurred over the next several years, as records are not available prior to 2010.
