Sir David Attenborough smiles as he's awarded high honour from Prince Charles

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.

Another royal rift is reportedly ongoing, with Prince Andrew allegedly refusing to speak to his brother Charles and nephew William, after the pair blocked his so-called ‘comeback’ plans. Andrew, 62, has taken a backseat from public life since sexual assault allegations against him resurfaced following the death of his former friend, peadophile Jeffrey Epstein, in 2019.The Duke of York has always vehemently denied the accusation brought against him by Virginia Giuffre.

The controversy around the collapse of the royal marriage between Princess Diana and Prince Charles was extraordinary and was the centre of the media for some time, but it was heightened to another level with Andrew Morton’s tell-all book, Diana: Her True Story.The book - published in 1992 - covered Charles and Diana's loveless marriage, Charles’s alleged infidelity, and the princess’s struggles with bulimia, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. And heartbreakingly, when the marriage finally ended in 1996, Prince William told his mother he wanted to become a policeman to protect her in case she was stripped of her royal title. “He once told her he wanted to be a policeman so that he could protect her,” says royal expert Robert Jobson.

Prince William almost had a completely different name which Prince Charles had his heart set on, according to a royal historian.He was also known as "Baby Wales" before Charles and Princess Diana finally decided upon William. The Duke of Cambridge, who will celebrate his 40th birthday on Tuesday (June 21), could have been named Arthur when he was born in 1982.

Prince Charles, 73, and Prince William, 39, both reportedly stepped in to prevent Prince Andrew's return to public life at Royal Ascot and the Order of the Garter Ceremony.Andrew, 62, is understood to be enraged with his elder brother and nephew, who it is believed persuaded the Queen, 96, to stop Andrew from attending the full Order of the Garter Ceremony, which was presided over by his mother at Windsor Castle earlier this month.Instead, he was only seen at some parts of the Knights of the Garter Ceremony.Buckingham Palace reported that the Duke of York's absence from the Windsor Castle procession and Order of the Garter service was a "family decision".He did join the Queen at the formal investiture of new members of the Order of the Garter - including Tony Blair and Charles' wife the Duchess of Cornwall - and at the lunch afterwards.But his alleged bid to return to Royal duties has apparently been met with resistance from the two direct heirs to the throne, with Her Majesty supposedly telling Andrew to keep out of sight "for his own good". The Queen also missed Royal Ascot for the first time during her reign and was replaced in Saturday's Royal procession by the Duke of Kent, Andrew's eldest daughter Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were criticised by taxpayers for having "three furnished homes" as a royal insider revealed their permanent move to Windsor.It has been reported that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will move into Adelaide Cottage, at Windsor Castle, this summer after William celebrates his 40th birthday.According to Royally Obsessed podcasters Rachel Bowie and Roberta Fiorito, taxpayers are "miffed" when they learned the Cambridges have already owned two furnished homes — Kensington Palace in London and Anmer Hall in Norfolk.Rachel said: "At Kensington Palace, being a city location, they are limited in terms of the ground."That means that George, Charlotte and Louis will have easy access to their great-grandmother and I feel like any access to the outdoors will be so great for kids, it will be in abundance at Windsor."Co-host, Roberta, chimed in and added: "But to have three furnished homes...I think the taxpayers are a little miffed about this."But Rachel sees it differently as she considers that Prince William will be the future king."Think about all the properties the Queen has," she added.They also commented that the move "is expected to significantly change the dynamic at Windsor" where, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York has the most contact with the Queen.Meanwhile, royal writer Daniela Elser claimed the royal couple's relocation plan "essentially means they have wasted millions and millions of Sovereign Grant money" of modernising Kensington Palace.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.The reported £4million spent on the Cambridge's home of Apartment 1A was funded by 25% of revenue from the Crown estates

Prince William and Kate Middleton had a surprise for royal fans on Friday.

As his mother’s coffin lay on a gun carriage, draped in the Royal Standard and white lilies, a teenage Prince William bowed his head in deep mourning. But while he could easily have broken down during the funeral for the late Princess Diana of Wales, the 15-year-old held back the tears, giving younger brother Harry extra strength to cope with such a heartbreaking ordeal.

Prince William has been "throwing his weight around" and reportedly threatened to pull out of the Order of the Garter ceremony if Prince Andrew took part.

Prince Harry seems to be more of his own man when he attends events without his wife, a body language expert has observed.The Duke of Sussex's mannerisms were studied during a polo game in Southern Carolina last week by Darren Stanton, who offered his views on what they meant to Marie Claire magazine on behalf of Slingo.Meghan Markle was not at the match, where Harry played for his local team Los Padres and, speaking generally, Stanton said: "Harry seems to be more of his own man when attending events on his own, as he has a confidence and resilience we don’t tend to see when he’s accompanied by Meghan Markle."Having been playing polo since he was a child, Harry shares a passion for the horseback sport with his father Prince Charles and his brother Prince William, even if the trio share very little else in common at the moment.Relations have reportedly been strained between Harry and his father and elder brother since he and Meghan decided to quit their roles as senior members of the Royal Family. But, if that rumoured feud is taking its toll on the Duke, then he appears to leave his troubles behind on the polo field, with Stanton declaring: "It's really interesting that Prince Harry appears always at his most relaxed and genuinely most happy when he’s either at the Invictus Games interacting with all the other athletes and attendees, or at other sporting occasions such as the polo.

Not far from home. Prince William may be gearing up to leave Kensington Palace behind, but the move isn’t likely to cause conflict with future king Prince Charles.

Queen of the pitch! Prince William gushed over daughter Princess Charlotte‘s soccer skills — at her request.

Prince Louis is expected to attend a different junior school to his siblings, according to reports.The four-year-old — who cheekily charmed the nation with his naughty antics during the Platinum Jubilee — will not be enrolled at Thomas’s Battersea Junior School like his brother George and sister Charlotte.Instead, Louis is expected to start his formal education at the Independent Preparatory school in Lambrook near Ascot.It comes amid reports suggesting that his parents Prince William and Kate Middleton are planning to leave Kensington Palace and move out of London.Last year, Louis went to Willcocks Nursery School in Kensington, as his sister did previously.But, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reportedly planning to relocate to Windsor this summer, Charlotte and George are also expected to switch schools during the 2022/23 academic year.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are moving — but don’t worry, they’re not going as far as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!

Kate Middleton and Prince William have reportedly been eyeing up a move to the Windsor estate to be closer to The Queen but this has been hit with backlash.Reports claimed that the Cambridge's had been eyeing up a move to Adelaide Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle, just a ten-minute walk away from the 96-year-old Monarch.Currently, the family reside in the lavish 20-room Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace but William and Kate are keen for their children to attend the same school, close to Windsor.The move, however, hasn't gone down well with TalkTV host Julia Hartley-Brewer and columnist Ayesha Hazarika.During Tuesday night's episode of Small Talk, Julia said: "William and Kate are moving their family to a four-bedroom cottage on the Windsor estate."Adelaide Cottage which needs no extra taxpayers' security – I think we'll all remember what happened with Harry and Meghan."No costly refurb, it's also understood there will be, I don't know how people cope with no live-in staff with aides commuting to Windsor."Is there no levels of dedication the royals will not go to?!"She continued: "The move means their children, George, Charlotte and Louis can now start school together in the autumn which is great news."William and Kate are said to be keen to live closer to the Queen who's been struggling with mobility problems and obviously want to be with her at Windsor."Julia added: "This is also about playing down the roles, cost of living crisis, 'We're just like you'."The fact we also have not just a second home we've been talking about but about 15 other homes, by the way, they're palaces and castles but we're living in a four bedroomed house."I don't think that's going to go down very well, I think a lot of people will say
