Andrew secured Palace visit for firm with £1.4m deal with ex-wife
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor reportedly fixed a visit to Buckingham Palace for businessmen working for a cryptocurrency mining company with £1.4m ties to his ex-wife, it has been reported.
Founders of Pegasus Group Holdings, who employed Sarah Ferguson as a brand ambassador, were given a private tour of the palace while the late Queen was in residence, according to the BBC.
The scheme Ms Ferguson promoted then failed less than a year later, losing investors millions.

Andrew ‘refused to sign off’ on statements supporting victims, reports say
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor routinely “refused” to give his approval to statements acknowledging the victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes – effectively blocking the Palace from making such a declaration, new reports say.
A source close to the King and Queen told The Times all communication had required Andrew’s sign-off, and that the former duke refused to approve messages until references to victims were removed.
In his latest statement, King Charles took the unprecedented step of recognising the victims of Epstein’s abuse, writing: “Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”

Recap: There are no plans to remove Andrew from line of succession
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor may have lost his royal titles, but there are no plans to remove him from the line of succession.
The government said it “fully supports” the Palace’s decision, but would not move to take Andrew out of his eighth place in line for the throne.
The process would require an act of Parliament to formally remove him which would be complex and would need to be agreed with all the Commonwealth realms, including Australia and Canada.

Andrew to be ‘denied most of Royal Lodge compensation due to repairs’
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor will be denied most of his half a million pound compensation for giving up his lease on Royal Lodge, according to reports.
The monarch’s disgraced brother was due a payout of £558,000 from the Crown Estate after agreeing to quit the 30-room mansion amid the furore over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
But a royal source admitted there is “a lot of work that needs doing” to the property in Windsor Great Park, and the cost of repairs is likely to affect the amount of compensation he receives, The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported.
The former prince will, however, receive a one-off, six figure payment to cover his move, plus an annual stipend privately funded by the King to prevent him from “overspending in his new life as a commoner”.

Andrew to receive ‘six-figure payout to cover move’
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is set to get a six-figure payout and an annual payment as part of his “relocation settlement” after being forced out of the Royal Lodge, it has been claimed.
Former prince Andrew will receive the one-off payment to cover his move from Windsor to private accommodation in Sandringham, Norfolk, followed by the regular stipend to prevent him from “overspending in his new life as a commoner”, The Guardian newspaper has reported.
The annual payment privately funded by King Charles would be worth several times his £20,000-a-year navy pension, the paper adds.
