What is the Princess of Wales really like behind the scenes? To find out, I spoke to her friends and palace insiders for @thetimes magazine⁩ and found an intriguing connection to a Zen priest and a caring princess with a habit of losing her phone ⬇️ thetimes.com/article/716351e…

Andrew should have been due a refund of around £300,000 for surrendering the lease early, however assessors found £1.8 million worth of damage to the property so he has had to hand over £1.5 million

Good question... The police have made an application to allow them to retain evidence obtained through the searches, even though the search warrants were unlawful. Andrew (unsurprisingly) opposes that and a hearing will take place in private in 2027. The investigation continues
Replying to @KateMansey
What happens now?

As we discussed on The Royals podcast yesterday (out now, please subscribe etc etc), getting confirmation that a warrant was unlawful does not necessarily mean that any evidence obtained under that warrant is inadmissible ... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Why is Andrew taking the police to court? Andrew’s challenge to the search warrants used at his homes reaches the High Court today — but what could it change for the ongoing police investigation? @RoyaNikkhah and @KateMansey are joined by The Times legal editor Jonathan Ames to examine his legal strategy. Andrew denies all wrongdoing

Earl Spencer’s book is full of gossip — but it’s also moving. Swan Song: Diana, My Sister could’ve been a nice coffeetable book, full of pictures and Diana’s own hand-written notes, but instead he’s used her memory to settle personal scores. He has described it as being motivated by a sense of “duty” to correct some “untruths” about his sister. One of the most moving aspects of Spencer’s book, apart from the details of her funeral, which he returns to time and again, and her disastrous marriage to Prince Charles, which he admits was a terrible match on both sides, is the tragedy of Diana’s peripatetic childhood 🔗 Go to the link in our bio to read @KateMansey's piece in full: thetimes.com/uk/royal-family…
