Moves by Prince Andrew’s lawyers this week to have a civil case against him dismissed show that ‘the gloves are off’ says Richard Kay the Daily Mail’s Editor at Large. Andrew denies all claims made against him, but it was revealed that he will still have to give evidence under oath to the court sometime next year.

Meanwhile the Mail on Sunday’s Assistant Editor Kate Mansey explains that the rest of the Firm have a constitutional challenge of their own to overcome. Namely that the Queen is looking for more Counsellors of State to take on her duties should she be unable to execute them and why replacing Prince Andrew and Prince Harry isn’t as straightforward as it seems.
