Reports paint Andrew’s days at Royal Lodge as late starts, war films, golf and Call of Duty on a wall-sized TV, with rare rides out and growing loneliness. Friends say Sarah Ferguson faces “nowhere to go, and no one to go with” if the Lodge era ends. A Scottish refuge offer at Carbisdale Castle has been withdrawn after threats; talk of “exile” to the Castle of Mey persists, though commentators say Frogmore or even Abu Dhabi is likelier. Then a tech hiccup: Andrew’s defunct website briefly reappeared — in Vietnamese — before redirect issues were fixed. Opinion writers argue his position is untenable and that the Firm’s survival relies on decisive action.

Harry and Meghan, who left the UK for privacy, turned up in the front row at Dodger Stadium for Game Four — cue caps, cameras, and a 6–1 loss for L.A.

Meghan’s pumpkin-patch reel vanished amid privacy concerns after viewers spotted the children in the background, reigniting chatter about longtime confidant Markus Anderson.

 OK! reports Meghan is prepared to “go it alone” with As Ever, while a flurry of briefings says Prince William plans to formally strip Prince Andrew of the Duke of York title when he becomes king, with claims he’s pushing a broader slim-down of royal titles and even leaning on Beatrice and Eugenie to help move their father from Royal Lodge.

One cheeky new review advises us to “Be Kind” (one star), and Windsor watchers note Andrew’s Garter banner has now been removed from St George’s Chapel.

Meghan Markle’s big “Save the Date” reveal turned out to be the launch of her first As Ever holiday collection — a mix of candles, California honey, fruit spreads, mulling spices, and a limited-edition Napa Valley sparkling wine. She also popped up in Town & Country as an interviewer, spotlighting a teen wildfire survivor, and shared a polished pumpkin patch video featuring Harry, the kids, her mother Doria, and longtime friend Markus Anderson — whom the tabloids still can’t stop calling her “second husband.” Meanwhile, King Charles faced hecklers at Lichfield Cathedral shouting about Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, and back in Windsor, Andrew is said to be negotiating his exit from Royal Lodge, floating a move to Frogmore Cottage and allegedly suspecting Charles is saving the estate for Queen Camilla. From honey jars to housing intrigue, it’s been quite a day for the Windsors.

It’s “Save the Date” day for Meghan Markle — but what exactly are we saving it for? The Duchess of Sussex dropped a sleek new As Ever teaser, sparking buzz about another lifestyle launch, while Nobody Wants This slipped in a cheeky joke about her and Harry’s royal romance. Meanwhile, reports claim Harry’s urging Meghan to slow down amid fears of burnout — and, in a twist that feels all too familiar, she’s just lost her tenth publicist. From orchards to Hollywood punchlines, it’s another eventful day in Montecito.

A fresh report suggests King William could move swiftly to tighten royal styles and titles when his reign begins—fueling talk the Sussex dukedom and HRHs may be formally revoked. Biographer Andrew Morton, meanwhile, says Andrew remains a lingering headache for the Palace and doubts any near-term Harry-William reconciliation, despite the long shadow it casts over the modern monarchy.

This week brought an avalanche of Prince Andrew revelations that dominated royal headlines. We break down Virginia Giuffre's explosive memoir "Nobody's Girl" with its shocking allegations, the Metropolitan Police investigation into Andrew's attempts to dig up dirt on his accuser, and excerpts from a new biography revealing his appalling treatment of staff and dangerous driving habits. Plus: Why hasn't Andrew paid real rent on Royal Lodge in over 20 years? Will the U.S. Congress call him to testify? And what about those alleged meetings with Chinese spies? In lighter news, King Charles makes history praying alongside the Pope in the Sistine Chapel, William and Kate prepare to move into their "forever home" at Forest Lodge, and Meghan hints her Netflix cooking show might be toast. We also round up the week's best (and most brutal) commentary on what the Andrew scandal means for the future of the monarchy—and why Prince William is already planning a much harsher approach when he becomes King.
