    Marius Borg Høiby Denies Drugging Accuser as “Rape” Searches Hit Court, While King Charles Gets Heckled Over Andrew
    Feb 6 2026
    The Marius Borg Høiby trial got uglier fast. Prosecutors pressed the Crown Princess’s son on whether he drugged a woman ahead of an alleged 2018 assault. Høiby flatly denied it, admitted he knows about drugs like ketamine and could probably obtain them, then tried to brush off eyebrow-raising phone searches including “rape,” telling the court he’d looked up “a lot of weird stuff.”

    Back in Britain, King Charles was heckled on a walkabout with shouts demanding to know whether he “pressurised the police” to investigate Andrew. The King stayed silent as police removed the heckler and security shifted the route.

    Plus: Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision drops on Prime Video, Andrew’s move to Sandringham sparks protests and leaflets, Jon Stewart says nobody ever gets held accountable “except Prince Andrew,” and the latest headlines keep circling the York mess.

  • Harry’s Surprise New Pal Elizabeth Hurley - double date soon? PLUS Meghan’s $62 Chocolate “Love Letter

    Harry’s Surprise New Pal Elizabeth Hurley - double date soon? PLUS Meghan’s $62 Chocolate “Love Letter
    Feb 6 2026
    A strange new London storyline: insiders say Prince Harry “hit it off” with Elizabeth Hurley while both were in the city tied to legal action against Associated Newspapers, and talk has already turned to double-date plans involving Meghan Markle and Hurley’s partner Billy Ray Cyrus.

    Plus, a former nanny for Prince Archie describes meeting Harry at Frogmore expecting royal formality, only to find him in jeans, a T-shirt and barefoot, greeting her with a hug. Royal commentators pile on the “Harry is lost” narrative, with more warnings that William has no appetite for reconciliation.

    And Meghan’s back in the chocolate game: a $62 four-bar collection, a new Valentine’s release, and a jam joke because of course there’s a jam joke.

  • Meghan Markle’s As Ever “Overstock” Drama Hits Netflix, as Marius Borg Høiby Trial Turns Brutal

    Meghan Markle’s As Ever “Overstock” Drama Hits Netflix, as Marius Borg Høiby Trial Turns Brutal
    Feb 5 2026
    Page Six claims Meghan Markle’s As Ever products were stored at Netflix HQ and that staff were taking items home for free amid alleged overstock, with sources disputing whether the remaining items were consumer inventory or just promo freebies. A reported website glitch also sparked chatter about huge unsold quantities, while Meghan’s chocolate prices jump from $12 to $14 and a Valentine’s bundle rings in at $185.

    Then the mood turns dark in Norway. The first woman to testify in the Marius Borg Høiby trial describes “betrayal and shock” after police showed videos they say depict sexual assault while she was incapacitated. Høiby denies rape but admits other charges, takes the stand, and breaks down in tears while describing an “extreme need for recognition.”

    All of this lands as Crown Princess Mette-Marit faces renewed scrutiny over her contacts with Jeffrey Epstein, with the palace confirming she postponed a private trip “until further notice.”

  • Andrew Booted From Royal Lodge After Epstein Bombshells, as New Claims and Pressure to Testify Explode

    Andrew Booted From Royal Lodge After Epstein Bombshells, as New Claims and Pressure to Testify Explode
    Feb 5 2026
    Prince Andrew has officially moved out of Royal Lodge after King Charles the Third ordered him to surrender the lease, with the exit reportedly rushed forward as fresh Epstein-linked revelations hit the front pages. Sources say Andrew traveled to Norfolk “under the cover of darkness,” while movers continue clearing the Windsor property in stages.

    The pressure is also rising on the legal front. A lawyer for Epstein survivors says a second woman claims she was sent to the UK in 2010 for an encounter with Andrew at Royal Lodge, followed by a tour of Buckingham Palace. British officials are publicly urging Andrew to cooperate with US investigators as fears grow of another major civil settlement.

    Plus: newly released legal papers allege an exotic dancer demanded $250,000 after claiming sexual acts involving Epstein and Andrew, Vice President JD Vance says he is “open” to Andrew being called to testify, and royal author Andrew Lownie suggests Sarah Ferguson may have gone overseas as scrutiny intensifies.

  • Marius Borg Høiby Pleads Not Guilty as Norway’s Royal Trial Turns Darker

    Marius Borg Høiby Pleads Not Guilty as Norway’s Royal Trial Turns Darker
    Feb 4 2026
    Norway’s most explosive royal scandal deepened as Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, appeared in Oslo District Court and pleaded not guilty to four counts of rape. Prosecutors laid out a sweeping indictment totaling thirty eight charges, including allegations of abuse, secret filming, drug offenses and repeated restraining order violations. Høiby admitted guilt to several lesser charges while denying the most serious accusations.

    Prosecutors stressed that royal connections would offer no protection, insisting that Høiby be treated exactly like any other defendant. The court imposed strict reporting restrictions to protect the alleged victims, while Høiby’s defence argued he has been overwhelmed by what they described as a “tsunami of negative publicity.”

    The trial has been further complicated by Høiby’s recent rearrest on new allegations involving threats with a knife and breach of a restraining order, leaving him in custody as proceedings continue. With seven weeks of testimony ahead, the case has shaken Norway’s confidence in the royal family’s judgment and oversight.

  • Fergie’s Cringe Epstein Emails Explode, Dragging Beatrice and Eugenie Into Royal Damage Control

    Fergie’s Cringe Epstein Emails Explode, Dragging Beatrice and Eugenie Into Royal Damage Control
    Feb 4 2026
    Newly released Jeffrey Epstein files have delivered another deeply embarrassing blow to the House of York, placing Sarah Ferguson — and her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie — back under an unforgiving spotlight. The emails, sent years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, show Ferguson expressing warmth, loyalty and dependence on the disgraced financier, with language critics say is impossible to reconcile with his criminal record.

    Several of the messages directly reference Beatrice and Eugenie, sometimes casually and sometimes uncomfortably, leaving sources close to the sisters describing them as mortified by the revelations. One exchange includes a crude reference to Eugenie, while others suggest Epstein was welcomed into family life and royal spaces long after he should have been cut off entirely.

    Royal commentators argue the emails expose not just personal misjudgment but a broader failure of palace oversight. While Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been stripped of titles and removed from public duties, critics say the slow, reactive response has only prolonged the damage — particularly for Beatrice and Eugenie, who now find themselves tied to a scandal they played no role in creating.

    Feb 3 2026
    Meghan Markle faces fresh online ridicule after unveiling a new black-and-white image for her As Ever brand, with critics accusing her of cosplaying Audrey Hepburn — and others comparing her to Inspector Gadget. Prince Harry is also mocked after being announced as a keynote speaker at a major privacy conference, fueling questions about his standalone appeal. Behind the scenes, sources say tensions are flaring again over Meghan’s social media posts featuring glimpses of their children, reopening old wounds about privacy and control. Commentators pile on claims that Meghan is copying Princess Catherine’s fashion playbook, while PR experts argue Harry is stuck between duty and Hollywood, struggling to manage optics in a world that doesn’t allow selective visibility.

  • Marius Borg Høiby Trial Begins as Epstein Ties Haunt Norway’s Crown Princess

    Marius Borg Høiby Trial Begins as Epstein Ties Haunt Norway’s Crown Princess
    Feb 3 2026
    Norway’s royal family faces unprecedented scrutiny as Marius Borg Høiby, the adult son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, appears in court on dozens of serious criminal charges, including multiple rape allegations. Although Høiby holds no royal title, the scale of the case has shaken a monarchy long considered scandal-free, forcing Crown Prince Haakon to publicly distance the institution while emphasizing faith in the rule of law. The trial unfolds amid deep personal strain for the family, including Mette-Marit’s worsening health and renewed attention on past links to Jeffrey Epstein.

    Meanwhile, newly released Epstein emails deliver another damaging chapter for the Duke of York’s family, exposing Sarah Ferguson’s intimate correspondence, financial appeals, and apparent role in efforts to rehabilitate Epstein’s reputation long after his conviction. The emails also reference Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, intensifying the reputational fallout. Together, the stories underline how proximity to power, privilege, and silence continue to collide with accountability across Europe’s royal houses.
