Prince Andrew last night faced calls to ‘come clean’ and reveal the secret sources of funding that are bankrolling his stay at Royal Lodge in Windsor. The King stopped paying his disgraced brother’s £3 million-a-year security bill at the 30-room mansion last month and urged him to move into more modest accommodation as part of an extraordinary row dubbed ‘the siege of Royal Lodge’. Now it has emerged that Andrew has been allowed to stay at the property in Windsor Great Park after convincing Palace authorities that he has secured enough funds to support himself.

Prince Harry and Meghan ‘turned back the clock’ with ‘an homage to their Royal days’ a new video message released today, a body language expert has said. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their first joint appearance in nearly three months today as they spoke about online violence against children – a cause that is deeply important to them. Both wearing dark blazers with Remembrance poppies fastened on their lapels, the Sussexes called for greater protections for ‘the most vulnerable in our world’ against the threat of digital violence and harm.

Donald Trump has vowed to return a bust of Winston Churchill to the Oval Office as a ‘mark of respect’ to Britain’s great wartime leader.

The Prince and Princess of Wales led the applause as the crowd touchingly honoured the families of fallen soldiers at the Festival of Remembrance tonight. The Royal couple appeared solemn as the applause erupted at the Royal Albert Hall in tribute to the servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives for Britain.

Perched high up on a sturdy shelf in her large garden shed, Mari Fraille believed she was about to drown. The flood water was seeping at her toes. A torrent had blasted through the front door and swept through her house, so she hurried to the shed and, using a stepladder, scrambled on to the shelf next to an old suitcase. For 20 long minutes, she screamed for help but no one came. ‘It was the worst part of my life,’ the 67-year-old told me this week. ‘I was alone, everyone else along my row of houses had already fled from the flood.’

Celebrity hairdresser Trevor Sorbie has died aged 75 after being diagnosed with terminal cancer – just weeks after revealing his condition on ITV’s This Morning. The Scottish-born stylist, who gained fame with the creation of the wedge cut, had said on October 9 that he had weeks to live after his bowel cancer spread to his liver.

The pair posed as police officers before barging into the luxury property and tying 55-year-old physio and personal trainer Kerry – who had been home alone at the time – by her hands and feet.
