00:00Why commoner ex-Prince Andrew's life in exile is about to leave the world
00:05Furious. Ex-Prince Andrew may have lost his royal titles, but sources tell
00:10OK his continuing secret excess is what will truly enrage the public when it emerges.
00:15The decision, announced by Buckingham Palace on behalf of his elder brother King Charles
00:20III was intended to mark a clear break between the monarchy and
00:25Andrew's conduct. Yet insiders say the reality for the rest of his life will tell
00:30a very different story. Even after his demotion, a van delivering crates of
00:35champagne was seen unloading outside his Windsor estate, prompting fresh outrage.
00:40He may have been formally relieved of his remaining titles and told he would no longer
00:44be known as HR.
00:45A move widely seen as the final severing of his royal role.
00:50But according to our sources, his continuing daily life at his $40 million royal
00:55lodge home has continued with little restraint. The same source added,
01:00when it comes to comfort and indulgence, Andrew's day-to-day life appears largely unchanged.
01:05Meanwhile, questions have been raised about the champagne deliveries. As Andrew has said,
01:10is not to drink alcohol. He demands a formal silver service meal each evening, even
01:15on nights when he is the sole person seated at the table. Sources say those habits have not
01:20disappeared. With insiders adding it will continue when he is moved out of the royal lodge to an
01:25another grace and favor residence. Nothing about Andrew's routine suggests he has been asked to
01:30rein in his spending, a source said. Lunch and dinner, the source went on, are still
01:35as equally lavish, featuring pheasant, venison, and prime cuts of beef. It would be
01:40the last thing they need in 2026 after the year of scandal the institution has experienced.
01:45I'll see you next time.
