Soon, perhaps shortly after Christmas<\/a>, he will bid farewell to Royal Lodge, where he\u2019s lived in rarefied seclusion for 20 years. But painful though it will be for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to leave the comfortable Windsor home, there is another aspect to his new life as a commoner which, I\u2019m told, he may find even harder to bear.<\/p>\n Perhaps no member of the Royal Family<\/a> more delighted in deference being paid to him than Andrew \u2013 even in the least probable of circumstances, as became apparent during his romance with Emma Gibbs.<\/p>\n Following his divorce from Sarah Ferguson<\/a> in 1996, Andrew entertained several unattached women, and was willing to be entertained by them.<\/p>\n \u2018Gibbsy\u2019 \u2013 a spirited, fun-loving, big-hearted Aussie, who is said to have been introduced to Andrew by Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a> \u2013 was one of them.<\/p>\n Andrew Mountbatten Windsor pictured with former lover Emma Gibbs in 2004<\/p>\n<\/div>\n At the time, she was living in a delightful four-bedroom house in a cul-de-sac in Chelsea, west London<\/a>, a few doors down from the pub now owned by Household Cavalry officer turned super-crooner, James Blunt<\/a>.<\/p>\n The normality of the setting, when compared with his own lodgings, might have seemed conducive to dispensing with protocol.<\/p>\n Not for Andrew.<\/p>\n Though lustily informal with \u2018Gibbsy\u2019, he was far-less flexible with the house\u2019s other occupant, a glamorous continental woman.<\/p>\n To her astonishment, she was treated to royal instruction \u2013 even though she, rather than Gibbsy, owned the house.<\/p>\n \u2018She was very narked off about the fact that she was being told to curtsy in her own home,\u2019 a pal tells me. \u2018Gibbsy was her lodger. It was absolutely ludicrous, frankly. It really shows that he thought he was above the law.\u2019<\/p>\n Let\u2019s hope that Andrew has changed his ways. After all, Sandringham locals seem unlikely to genuflect at his approach.<\/p>\n His children Freddie and Emilia Fox may be successfully carrying on the family acting dynasty, but The Day of The Jackal star Edward Fox confesses that he can\u2019t be bothered to watch either of them.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite appearing on screens for more than 60 years, Edward, 88, refuses to have a television in his Dorset home.<\/span><\/p>\n Asked about Freddie\u2019s role in TV hit Slow Horses, Fox laughs: \u2018No, I haven\u2019t seen it, not one foot of it. I\u2019m quite glad. I say, \u201cWhat have you been doing?\u201d He tells me and I fall asleep as I listen.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n Model Madalina Ghenea, whose former flames include Leonardo DiCaprio and tennis ace Grigor Dimitrov, once told me: \u2018I\u2019ve been making the wrong [dating] choices \u2013 I\u2019ve been choosing kids instead of men, and I\u2019m not talking about age.\u2019<\/p>\n But at least one of her ex-boyfriends, Italian executive Leonardo Del Vecchio, appears to have stepped up in her hour of need.<\/p>\n Madalina Ghenea briefly dated Leonardo\u00a0DiCaprio circa 2011. She has also dated actors Gerard Butler and\u00a0Michael Fassbender<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018Today, my ex appeared in court as an important witness in the long stalking case I have been exposed to for so many years,\u2019 reveals Madalina, 38, whose alleged stalker is currently on trial in Milan.<\/p>\n The 45-year-old woman is accused of harassment and making threatening online comments about Madalina.<\/p>\n The Romanian star and mother of one says of Del Vecchio: \u2018He stood by my side in front of the judge, sharing everything we went through during those difficult years.<\/p>\n \u2018Although we are no longer together, we have remained friends and hold deep respect for each other.\u2019<\/p>\n Dame Joanna Lumley has seen enough of King Charles during his three years on the throne to judge him pre-eminent among the 13 British monarchs since the Act of Union.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018He was the most extraordinary Prince of Wales, and has turned into one of the best kings we\u2019ll ever have,\u2019 gushes the Absolutely Fabulous star, who attended the Coronation. \u2018I like him a great deal.\u2019 The actress, 79, adds: \u2018King Charles has always loved the fine arts and farming… He loves craftsmen, people who can carve things. He\u2019s been ahead of the game for a long time. He is fascinating.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n Order of Merit next for Dame Joanna?<\/span><\/p>\n Tough-guy actor Mickey Rourke, 73, met his match when he grabbed Sir Anthony Hopkins\u2019s throat while shooting the 1990 film Desperate Hours. \u2018He belonged to that school where everything\u2019s got to be real,\u2019 remarks two-time Academy Award-winner Sir Anthony, 87.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018I said, \u201cYou touch me again and I\u2019ll lay you out\u201d. And I meant it. There\u2019s no need to hurt anyone.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n Keeley Hawes was not convinced by her husband\u00a0Matthew Macfadyen’s fashion suggestion<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When Succession star Matthew Macfadyen was filming episodes of the hit series in America\u2019s Southwest, he hoped to immerse himself in the local culture.<\/p>\n But his wife, Line of Duty star Keeley Hawes, 49, had her reservations.<\/p>\n \u2018We went to Sante Fe [in New Mexico] to the high desert,\u2019 Macfadyen, 51, tells the Travel Secrets podcast. \u2018I remember ringing Keeley and saying, \u201cDo you think I\u2019d get away with buying cowboy boots?\u201d She was like, \u201cNo, if you want to stay married\u201d.\u2019 He admits: \u2018I would have looked dreadful.\u2019<\/p>\n The creators of The Inbetweeners confirmed last month that the comedy would be returning.<\/span><\/p>\n But Alex Macqueen, who played Kevin Sutherland, aka Neil\u2019s Dad, in the hit Channel 4 coming-of-age show, warns that the outrageous humour may need to be toned down for our new \u2018woke\u2019 era.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Broadcasters would be much more cautious 1762335559,\u2019 he tells me at Helen Lederer\u2019s Comedy Women In Print Awards at the Groucho Club in London\u2019s Soho.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s very popular, but it\u2019s also very naughty. It\u2019s 20 years old and times do change. It\u2019s fair to say, at the time there was no alarm set off going, \u201cIs this right or wrong?\u201d It was just very successful.\u2019<\/span><\/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":" Soon, perhaps shortly after Christmas, he will bid farewell to Royal Lodge, where he\u2019s lived in rarefied seclusion for 20 years.
