Prince Andrew in four-letter foul-mouthed rant at builders near palatial home after he confronted men during horse ride
PRINCE Andrew has got the hump over speed bumps installed outside his palatial home. The disgraced Duke of York, 65, confronted builders installing the speed deterrents across the 4,800-acre Windsor Great Park estate. 4 Prince Andrew was furious with builders installing speed bumps outside his palatial home Credit: Jon Bond 4 The foul-mouthed prince barked: 'What the f* are you doing now?' Credit: The Mega Agency 4 A source revealed disgraced Andrew 'likes to drive his car out of Royal Lodge quite fast' Credit: Doug Seeburg While riding his horse around a mile from Royal Lodge the foul mouthed prince barked: 'What the f* are you doing now?' One speed bump has even been built on Andrew's driving route out of his 31-room mansion, forcing him to slow down. A source said: 'The worker was just going about his job when Andrew, on one of his regular rides round the estate, came along and looked down from up high and said 'what the f* are you doing now?' 'Andrew likes to drive his car out of Royal Lodge quite fast and is obviously a bit peeved as one of the speed humps is even right by the gate out of the park. 'No one likes speed humps but he will hardly feel them in his massive Range Rover anyway.' Security gates prevent regular traffic entering the park by road. Only business, staff, official visitors and residents such as Andrew are permitted inside. His brother King Charles is Ranger of Windsor Great Park, which runs from Windsor Castle to Virginia Water. It is not the only trouble Andrew has caused on the estate. The Sun revealed in January 2022 that the duke shouted at his female gardener over wrongly cut trees. Disgraced Andrew hosted secret Chinese business meeting at Royal Lodge He left the flunky 'shaken and upset'. She no longer tends the duke's garden after getting a job elsewhere on the estate. Meanwhile, in an interview with The Sun, Andrew's former maid Charlotte Briggs said he swore at her over a pair of heavy drapes. She claimed he made her run up four flights of stairs to close curtains while he sat yards away. And when she left a tiny gap in them he yelled 'can't you f*g do anything right?" In 2016, Andrew rammed closed park gates with his £80,000 Range Rover to avoid a one-mile detour home. Andrew likes to drive his car out of Royal Lodge quite fast and is obviously a bit peeved as one of the speed humps is even right by the gate out of the park A source He was reported to police but no action was taken. Andrew has lived at Royal Lodge for more than 20 years despite efforts to evict him after he was stripped of his royal roles in disgrace after links to dead US paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He later paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case with Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein as a teenager and who Andrew claimed never to have met. King Charles pulled his annual stipend last year in a bid to pressure the disgraced duke to fund his own way or move out. But Andrew has managed to avoid being kicked out after scoring a deal with Startupbootcamp to sell off access to his old contacts. The deal, first revealed in The Sun, means he pockets vast sums of money for every 'introduction' he successfully passes on to the firm from contacts he made through his Pitch@Palace scheme. Earlier this summer US prosecutors revealed they would not be looking to charge anyone else in their investigation into Epstein. Andrew, who was once dubbed 'Air Miles Andy' for his love of jetting around the globe, has left the country just once since his car crash Newsnight interview in 2019, fearing he could be arrested as part of the FBI probe. He is due to join the rest of the Royal Family at Balmoral this summer for their annual get together. But he was banned from their Christmas gathering at Sandringham after he was linked to alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo. Inside Prince Andrew's 'crumbling' Royal Lodge THE disgraced Duke of York resides at the £30million Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire - at least for now. King Charles has redoubled his efforts to evict the Duke - with insiders branding the stand-off the "siege of Royal Lodge". Despite his divorce from Sarah Ferguson in 1996, Prince Andrew lives with his ex-wife at the countryside estate. Prince Andrew's royal residence, with its eye-catching white exterior, boasts 30 rooms with plenty of space for entertaining, plus seven bedrooms spread across the two topmost floors. The Duke of York is said to spend all day "watching TV in a dark room" like a prisoner at his "crumbling" home. Royal Lodge is said to "need extensive repairs", thought to be about £400,000 a year. The monarch is said to be becoming increasingly frustrated at Andrew's refusal to care for the colossal mansion. Andrew is said to have promised King Charles he would take care of its expensive repairs - despite having no apparent source of income. Andrew is still reeling from a damaging book released this month called Entitled, which painted him as a sex-crazed buffoon. The Duke of York's office has been approached for comment. Meanwhile, two thirds of Britons believe Andrew should be stripped of his remaining royal titles, according to a poll. Research by YouGov found that 67 per cent of the public would back the removal of Andrew's York dukedom, as well as his princely title. Some 13 per cent opposed the removal of his titles and 21 per cent were unsure, the poll showed. Another YouGov survey found that just five per cent have a positive view of Andrew, who is languishing at the bottom of the royal favourability tables. Legislation would be required for Parliament to prevent Andrew continuing as the Duke of York. His birthright to be a prince, as the son of a monarch, could be changed only if a Letters Patent were issued by the King.

Woman 'thought she was at hotel with Wayne Lineker' until she discovered truth
People have been left in stitches of laughter after hearing about a woman's story while holidaying in Ibiza - she thought she had hit the jackpot and met Wayne Lineker but the truth left her red-faced A young woman on a girls' holiday with her mate was absolutely buzzing after she believed she'd encountered her "hero", Wayne Lineker. Gary Lineker 's brother can frequently be found chatting to punters at his cherished party destination, Ocean Beach in Ibiza - with countless visitors clamouring for snaps with his during their visit. The Spanish beach club has enjoyed tremendous success since launching 13 years ago, and remains essential for Brits visiting the party isle. Celebrities including Ed Sheeran, Jason Derulo, Jack Grealish and Conor McGregor have been photographed at the San Antonio venue. One woman was thrilled after meeting who she believed was Wayne Lineker, who has remained single for seven years. She became even more excited when he reportedly offered to buy her a drink. The party-goer was holidaying with a friend she's called Faye, and the duo were staying at Ibiza Rocks. One day while at the poolside party hotel, the two women were approached by some "absolute sorts" they nicknamed "Ibiza Final Bosses". The blokes invited them to Ocean Beach for the day, which they accepted. She and her mate headed to the beach club with the group and claims she was "having the time of her life" with them, until something caught her attention. She revealed in a frank TikTok video : "Out the corner of my eye I could see Wayne Lineker. I know exactly who Wayne Lineker is, I know he is into brunettes." She continued: "My mate Faye doesn't know who he is. He approaches and asks 'do you want a drink'. I respond 'I've got my own drinks but sure I'd love you to get me a drink'. So we end up spending time with Wayne Lineker and his companion, let's call him Barry for the story." Lacy explained she and her friend departed from the initial group they'd joined at the beach club, hoping to spend their day with 'Wayne' and his mate. She observed they were having "a great time". The pair were invited to an afterparty at the location where the two men were staying. Lacy revealed: "I'm like absolutely, I'm thinking there's going to a party, this is going to be lit, me and Wayne are going to be a thing, I'm literally going to come back to Torquay engaged. I manifested the whole thing." However, she began feeling doubtful when they climbed into a vehicle to reach the party. "I thought we were going to get into a Range Rover, it wasn't quite that," she revealed. Lacy explained she hadn't realised how intoxicated they were until that point. She described how they exited the car and entered a hotel, despite anticipating a large villa gathering. "It is a disappointment to say the least," she remarked. Please note the follow video contains strong language. She continued: "So we're all sat in this twin room with Wayne, Barry, my mate Faye and me. They're like 'do you want a drink', I'm like 'yeah sure'. Anyway we do the whole formal thing of asking each other's names." Lacy revealed she jokingly asked 'Wayne' what his name was, completely convinced it was him, and was stunned when he replied saying 'Tim'. She explained: "I said you're so funny. He goes, 'what do you mean'. I go 'you're name's not Tim', he goes 'yeah my name's Tim'. So it's at that moment I realise what I've done. This ain't Wayne Lineker." She continued: "I realised I have royally f***ed up. I have brought us to the back end of Ibiza where I have never even visited with this guy Tim - and now come to think of it, he doesn't even look anything like Wayne Lineker. I am that lit, I'm stuck in this crazy hotel room with my mate." She feigned illness so she and her pal could make their getaway. But matters got worse when they couldn't find a taxi for more than an hour. Lacy continued: "I am stuck in a hotel room with f***ing Barry, Wayne, Faye, and me drinking the worst f***ing prosecco while all the Ibiza final bosses are at a party." Wayne Lineker, who also runs Linekers bars and Bam-Bu-Ku, spotted the post and replied in the comments. Wayne quipped: "Who's Barry? Must be Dean Gaffney." Lacy fired back: "No way has Wayne entered the chat. Deffo not as hot as Dean Gaffney, more like Barry from Eastenders. Don't worry Wayne I would recognise you in a crowded room any day of the was an off brand night." The video was a hit with viewers, with one quipping: "What in the Jet 2 Holidays is going on here." Another chimed in with: "Wayne Lineker from Temu,". A third couldn't contain their laughter, commenting: "I am crying," while another person penned: "I have never laughed so much at 7am on a Sunday morning." Another fan added: "Haha brilliant. Knew that was coming. Sounds like something I'd do. At least you have a great story to tell." One viewer shared a personal anecdote, stating: "Wayne Lineker tried chatting me up in his bar in Tenerife 35 years ago! He's spent his life trying to pull women. I think you can do better."
