He’s ceased using his peerages and accepted the removal of his banner from St George\u2019s Chapel, Windsor, thereby acknowledging that his membership of the Order of the Garter is irrevocably at an end.<\/p>\n
But whereas others in the same excruciating position would scuttle away, desperate to do almost anything which would put them out of public sight, that\u2019s not Prince Andrew\u2019s style.<\/p>\n
Indeed, I\u2019m told that the more his status shrivels, the more intently he\u2019s determined to cling on at Royal Lodge \u2013 his home since 2004.<\/p>\n
\u2018His only identity comes from his status,\u2019 a highly informed source tells me, before adding that what remains of that status is conferred \u2013 in Andrew\u2019s eyes, at least \u2013 by his retention of the Grade II-listed house, the most splendid of whose 30 rooms is its immense 48 ft by 30 ft gothic saloon.<\/p>\n
There are, adds my informant, only two ways to persuade Andrew that his time at the lodge is over: the stick or the carrot.<\/p>\n
Andrew’s desire to ensure his daughters don’t become royal outcasts like himself may prove decisive in whether he gives up Royal Lodge. Pictured: Princess Eugenie, Prince Andrew and Princess Beatrice<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The latter may, on the face of it, seem the one that Andrew would gobble up. \u2018Money,\u2019 muses the royal insider, who stresses that Andrew\u2019s \u2018iron clad\u2019 lease means that he cannot be dislodged with a click of his older brother\u2019s monarchical fingers.<\/p>\n
\u2018You\u2019ll need to pay him to go away\u2026 and pay him not to talk.\u2019<\/p>\n
The alternative \u2013 the stick \u2013 must, if necessary, be used ruthlessly.<\/p>\n
\u2018Pressure on his children. He\u2019s always been transparent about his ambitions for his daughters,\u2019 reflects the insider, adding that it must be made plain that Beatrice and Eugenie\u2019s fate lies in Andrew\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n
In words that might not seem out of place in The Godfather, the insider suggests the following formula: \u2018If you want to make sure your daughters are OK and are invited to Sandringham, and that they remain princesses, then you\u2019d better [go] quietly.\u2019<\/p>\n
The insider adds: \u2018Clearly, it\u2019s upsetting, the stuff that has been coming out about their father.\u2019<\/p>\n
Time for Andrew to decide that enough is enough \u2013 for their sake, if not his?<\/p>\n
You\u2019d think Steve Coogan would\u2019ve learnt his lesson by now.<\/span><\/p>\n The actor and two production companies agreed this week to pay \u2018substantial damages\u2019 to university academic Richard Taylor for portraying him as \u2018smug, unduly dismissive and patronising\u2019 in their film The Lost King.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018A bit of friendly advice \u2013 perhaps he should stop putting \u201cKing\u201d in the titles of his films,\u2019 reflects Howard Raymond who, in 2012, secured\u00a0his own High Court victory over Coogan, pictured below, after he made a film about his father Paul, founder of London\u2019s first strip club.<\/span><\/p>\n Steve Coogan as Paul Raymond, the so-called\u00a0King of Soho, in the 2013 film\u00a0The Look of Love<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018At the last minute, they switched [its title] to The King Of Soho,\u2019 recalls Howard, who\u2019d registered that title for his own biopic.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018I went down to Cannes on the Monday, got a date for the High Court Friday. They had to pay huge costs.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n A king\u2019s ransom, in fact.<\/span><\/p>\n Oasis fans may have forked out a small fortune to see the Gallagher brothers reunite on tour over the summer \u2013 but I hear one diehard superfan has gone even further.<\/span><\/p>\n An anonymous buyer has paid a staggering \u00a375,600 for Noel Gallagher\u2019s complete set of handwritten lyrics from every Oasis album.<\/span><\/p>\n The haul went under the hammer\u00a0 at London\u2019s Propstore Music Memorabilia Auction. Now, that\u2019s one expensive Wonderwall.<\/span><\/p>\n Royal sculptor Frances Segelman bringing\u00a0Sir Christopher Wren back to life at St Paul’s Cathedral<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In a scene worthy of the Halloween season, Sir Christopher Wren was, in a sense, brought back to life beneath the magnificent dome of his greatest architectural triumph \u2013 St Paul\u2019s Cathedral.<\/p>\n Royal sculptor Frances Segelman undertook the eerie yet fascinating task of sculpting a clay bust of Wren using his death mask, which dates back to 1723, as her reference. Lady Petchey, 76, widow of philanthropist Sir Jack Petchey, tells me: \u2018It\u2019s very strange having to imagine his living face from a death mask.\u2019<\/p>\n During what she described as a hauntingly atmospheric evening, Lady Petchey says she even tried to communicate with the late architect in order to capture his spirit and personality in the sculpture.<\/p>\n After recovering from leukaemia, Harry Potter star Timothy Spall decided to mark the moment with a splash of luxury \u2013 an electric blue Rolls-Royce, the kind of model that can fetch up to half a million pounds.<\/span><\/p>\n But the 68-year-old now laughs at the purchase, admitting the car drew the wrong kind of attention. \u2018I looked like some terrible, poncy drug dealer,\u2019 he says. The Rolls didn\u2019t stay long, as he reveals: \u2018That one\u2019s gone \u2013 I got it out of my system. Then I bought another one\u2026 and got that out of my system too.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n Kate wearing a\u00a0red and white gingham skirt suit worth \u00a31,200 designed by Eponine London in 2016<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It’s the fashion label that the Princess of Wales helped catapult to fame in 2016 when she stepped out in a striking red and white gingham skirt suit worth \u00a31,200.<\/p>\n But that royal endorsement hasn\u2019t been enough to save Eponine London, which has gone bust after 15 years in business.<\/p>\n I can disclose the bespoke label, loved for its bold colours and vintage-inspired silhouettes, is shutting up shop for good. Founder Jet Shenkman, who once said she would be \u2018forever grateful\u2019 to the Princess, 43, for shining a spotlight on her work, says: \u2018It has been the most wonderful journey, full of highs that I could never have dreamed of, but the time has come for us to close our doors in pursuit of pastures new.\u2019<\/p>\n She adds: \u2018We will close the studio doors for the last time at the end of the year.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.celebrity.land.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" He’s ceased using his peerages and accepted the removal of his banner from St George\u2019s Chapel, Windsor, thereby acknowledging that his membership of the Order of the Garter is irrevocably at an end.
