Nigel Cawthorne: Last News

Prince Andrew could be shut out of the Royal Family completely and relegated to looking after the Queen's corgis, a royal expert has suggested. It has been claimed that King Charles III can't see any real future for his brother within the The Firm, despite the fact he allowed him to wear his Navy Uniform during a vigil for the late monarch.

King Charles III’s new plans. Often referred to as the Queen’s favourite child, the Duke of York has attempted to rehabilitate his image as he hopes to make a comeback to public life and official duties.However, the frosty relationship between him and his older brother means that this is highly unlikely to happen.

Prince Andrew's alleged sex life with Virginia Giuffre have come to light –including that the Prince 'laughed during sex'.Controversial Virginia Giuffre, whom Andrew gave around £12 million to after a civil action sex abuse case was settled outside court in February this year, has claimed that he “snickered” while the pair had sex.Giuffre had accused Andrew of sexually abusing her when she was 17.The settlement was not an admission of guilt and Prince Andrew denies the allegations against him.And now she claims that the strange noises happened during her second encounter with him as a teenager– at the office of Jeffrey Epstein in New York. Speaking to author Nigel Cawthorne in his new book about the saga which has been serialised in the Daily Mail, she said: “He was being treated to sex for which someone else was paying.

Prince Andrew's comeback will be "impossible" following the settlement of his civil sex assault case, a royal expert has claimed. On Tuesday, it was revealed that the Duke Of York avoided court by financially settling with Virginia Roberts for an "undisclosed sum".The 61 year old had a civil case against him filed by Virginia, 38, in August last year, alleging he had sexually assaulted her when Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her. And now Nigel Cawthorne, author of Prince Andrew: Epstein, Maxwell and the Palace, has claimed that Andrew's return to public duty will still be out of the question.

Her Majesty the Queen celebrates her Platinum Jubilee this year, becoming the first British monarch to sit on the throne for 70 years.But while the Royal Family will be looking back at an extraordinary reign, they will also be showcasing future generations.And Prince George, at the tender age of eight, will be taking a major part in proceedings.The future king will help his parents, William and Kate, offer support to the 95-year old monarch.“I think we’re going to see Her Majesty’s grandchildren really step up this year and her great grandchildren, especially George, will be up front and heavily involved in the celebrations,” royal author Nigel Cawthorne told OK! magazine.“The Queen will be experiencing a whole gamut of emotions,” Cawthorne added, “everything from grieving for her husband and remembering her father, to feeling pride towards all that she and her family have achieved.“She took the throne of a bomb-scarred nation and steered it into a period of political stability. That is an incredible legacy.

The Queen has lots to be cheerful about with her upcoming Platinum Jubilee celebrations – but there are crises looming, experts say. Last month the Queen’s third child, Prince Andrew, was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages as he faces a US civil action over sexual assault allegations – claims he has consistently denied.

Prince Andrew's childhood temper tantrums earned him the first of two unwanted nicknames growing up, a royal author has claimed.According to biographer Nigel Cawthorne, the young Duke of York caused havoc for palace staff, most notably his nanny, Mabel Anderson.Throwing temper tantrums and being stubborn to instruction saw him named Baby Grumpling by Mabel – the author writes.‘That young imp’ was another term the nanny dubbed the young prince with as he grew up in the 1960s, it's been said.His mischievous behaviour included stripping Mabel’s radio of its valves or tying together the shoelaces of the palace's stationary guards, known as sentries.Andrew's antics were reportedly a far cry from those of his older siblings, Charles and Anne who were both born before their mother became Queen.Having a monarch for a mother brought the bonus of her attention, more play places to run around in and treats. Unlike his older brother and sister, Andrew had seven nurseries in four palaces to enjoy.Prince Philip saw more of himself in Andrew than Charles and as a result let him off the hook for his pranks, Mr Cawthorne wrote.He said: "Prince Philip, too, delighted in his boisterous young son, who seemed far more like him than the self-conscious and complicated Charles.

Prince Andrew could be stripped of his His Royal Highness title as he faces a sexual abuse lawsuit.The Duke of York, 61, was suspended from royal duties for the "foreseeable future" last year, following his interview with the BBC about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Prince Andrew had reportedly been hopeful to return to public life, but that may have been shattered following the new lawsuit.

Prince Andrew sat down with BBC Newsnight's Emily Maitlis and addressed his controversial friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.In the interview, which has been widely dubbed a "car crash", the Duke of York claimed he had "no recollection of ever meeting" Virginia Roberts.Roberts, now Giuffre, who claimed she had sex with the Prince three times, an accusation the Prince has repeatedly denied.He also said he "let the side down" by staying with Epstein in New York in 2010, after Epstein was released from prison for sex offences.

Meghan Markle has definitely not had the easiest time since joining the royal family—and, frankly, that's putting things very, very mildly. While Meghan may not have realized the extent of the struggles she would face as a member of the royal family, her father-in-law, Prince Charles, may have foreseen some issues for the Duchess of Sussex—at least according to one royal author.

Prince Charles “foresaw considerable problems” ahead of Prince Harry ’s marriage to Meghan Markle, a royal author has claimed. Nigel Cawthorne, author of Prince Andrew, Epstein and the Palace, said although Charles admired Meghan, he initially thought there could have been “problems” with the Suits actress joining.
