Prince Philip to Prince Andrew ‘take your punishment’ for endangering royal family

Prince Andrew was given a “tense” telling off by his dad, Prince Philip — who told him to “take his punishment” because he had endangered “the very fabric of the royal family,” it was claimed Thursday.

Andrew’s scandalous ties to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal had already seen him dumped from royal duties by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and later “read the riot act” by his older brother, heir to the throne Prince Charles.

Now it has emerged that he was ordered to drive 140 miles to the Queen’s country retreat, Sandringham, for an earlier showdown with his father, the 98-year-old Duke of Edinburgh, according to the Telegraph.

“It was a tense meeting and Philip told his son he had to take his punishment,” a royal insider at Sandringham told the UK paper.

Melania Trump in $7,700 Valentino Cape during visit with the Queen

Of course it’s expensive and of course the liberal media will rail against Melania’s designer wardrobe.

It’s not as if the Trumps can’t afford it.

Maybe the Democrats can add the purchase of her Valentino Cape to the impeachable offenses leveled against the president.

Queen Elizabeth cancels Prince Andrew's 60th birthday party in wake of Epstein scandal

Instead of a birthday party the Queen will host a small family dinner for Andrew who will turn 60 on Febrruary 19.

The downsizing came a day after she stripped Andrew of his royal duties and booted his staff from Buckingham Palace in the wake of his disastrous recent BBC interview on his friendship with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

A report at the link below says “Prince Andrew didn’t step back from royal duties – Queen Elizabeth ‘fired’ him.”

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York

“The Queen summoned the Duke to Buckingham Palace to tell him her decision,” one of Andrew’s friends told the Sun of the Duke of York’s downfall that royal experts have called “monumental.”

“It was a devastating moment for both of them. His reputation is in tatters,” the source said, referring to the overwhelming backlash from his BBC interview discussing his ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“It is unlikely he will ever perform royal duties again. He is disgraced,” the source told the paper.

Both the Daily Mail and Metro UK newspapers said on their front pages Thursday that Andrew had been “banned” from further duties, with the Mail saying he was “forced” into Wednesday’s announcement.

“She has spent her whole life protecting the monarchy and in just one week her son’s actions threatened to tear it apart,” the source said.

“Something had to be done to draw a line under all of this.”

Andrew will no longer receive his $323,000 Sovereign Grant allowance but will still receive his income from the Queen’s private funds, the paper noted.

However, sources stressed that Andrew “remains a member of the royal family” even though he will not carry out public duties.

“He will still appear during Trooping the Color and on the balcony at major events,” a source told the paper.

Royal biographer Robert Lacey told the Times of London that it was a “monumental” moment in royal history.

“Nothing like this has happened in the Queen’s long reign,” he said.

Report: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ban neighbors from speaking to them

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are off to a rough start with their new neighbors.

Meghan Markle and Prine Harry

Handlers warned people living near the royal couple not to talk to the pair, pet their dogs or ask about baby Archie, among other “over the top” rules, according to a report.

Locals at the couple’s Frogmore Cottage home on the Windsor estate are also prohibited from offering neighborly favors, such as babysitting or dogwalking, The Sun reported.

Pleasantries — specifically “good morning” — are banned, and commoners are forbidden from placing letters in the royal mailbox.

“The Queen always chats to neighbors and even has tea with people on the estate as she’s very friendly with them,” a neighbor told The Sun. “Maybe Harry doesn’t want people approaching them and using their dogs as an excuse to talk. And of course the dog with no name keeps its privacy as they won’t tell us its name!”

The Queen associates with people on the estate leaving us to assume that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are 'royal’ snobs.

Queen Elizabeth urges 'generosity and self-sacrifice' in front of an ornate gold piano

An ‘out of touch’ Queen Elizabeth II delivered her annual Christmas address at Buckingham Palace with a lavish gold piano behind her.

"Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding," the Queen said during the speech.

The 91-year-old monarch's words seem pretty benign: She doesn't actually scold viewers or tell anyone to, say, put on a sweater, as President Jimmy Carter once did with disastrous results. But the juxtaposition of her speech and the piano, a symbol of her substantial wealth, seems to have been enough to unsettle citizens who are already on edge about Brexit.

The privileged wealthy hereditary monarch getting £76m a year (over $96,000,000), sitting in front of a golden piano in the palace she's billing taxpayers £369m ($470,000,000) to tart up, kills satire by lecturing the nation to pull together," wrote Kevin Maguire, associate editor at the Daily Mirror, in a tweet that has since been liked 12,000 times.

The Queen's personal wealth totals at least $520,000,000, which is the most of anyone in the family, Wealth-X estimates. The private wealth of all of the family members together would top $1 billion!

The royal family cost Britain roughly $96 million in 2018 through the Sovereign Grant. The Grant currently includes $38 million for the renovation of Buckingham Palace, which has 775 rooms.
