1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm clear, Harvey with

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines. Andrew Albert Christian Edward Mountbatten Windsor

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: is no longer the Duke of York and now he's

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: no longer a Prince of the United Kingdom either.

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: This statement coming into us from Buckingham Palace, and I'm

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: going to read to you exactly what this statement says.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatton Windsor.

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 2: His lease on Royal Lodge has to date provided him

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: now been served to surrender the lease and he will

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: move to alternative private accommodation. These censors are deemed necessary

12
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 2: against him. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their

14
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: thoughts and utmost sympathies have been and will remain with

15
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.

16
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Andrew is now just another subject of his brother, King

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Charles the Third, and soon he'll be paying obeisance to

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: his nephew, King William the Second, the man who's primarily

19
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: responsible for kicking Andrew out of the royal family. It's

20
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: William and his wife Catherine, the Princess of Wales, who

21
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: wanted Andrew out of their faces. The Waleses are about

22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: to move to Forest Lodge, a big new home on

23
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: the Windsor estate that's just a mile away from Royal Lodge,

24
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: where Andrew and his ex wife Sarah Ferguson have been

25
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: living for much of the past three decades, basically for

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: free at the expense of the Crown estate. It was

27
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: William who reportedly confronted Andrew's daughters Beatrice and Eugenie and

28
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: told them they risked losing their titles as princess if

29
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: they didn't bring their dad into line. If you're tempted

30
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: to feel sorry for Andrew, well, sure, he hasn't been

31
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: convicted of any crimes. He's always denied having any knowledge

32
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: of teenage prostitution or sex trafficking at the hands of

33
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: his close friend Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison while

34
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: awaiting trial. The famous photo of Andrew with his arm

35
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: around the waist of seventeen year old Virginia Roberts Guffrey.

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: He says that's a fake but he did pay Guphrey,

37
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: who's now taken her own life, twelve million pounds that

38
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: he got from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth the iond.

39
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth didn't take decisive action on Andrew, her favorite son,

40
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: but she did set the modern precedent for brutal dealing

41
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: with a wayward royal sibling when she denied permission to

42
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: her own younger sister, Princess Margaret, to marry the man

43
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: she loved because he was a divorcee that broke Margaret's heart.

44
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: This is movietone.

45
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: Princess Margaret's personal message, issued from Clarence House, began with

46
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: the words I would like it to be known that

47
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: I have decided not to marry a group.

48
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: Captain Peter Townsend, now Elizabeth's son Charles, has taken action

49
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: on his younger sibling, and Williams demonstrated his own ruthlessness

50
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: before with his younger sibling, Prince Harry. William participated in

51
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: and maybe even led the royal family's tough moves on

52
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: Harry and Meghan when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex

53
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: said they wanted a half in, half out royal life

54
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: and had a lot of complaints about the way the

55
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: palace treated them. The family just froze them out.

56
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: Of course, some members my family will never forgive me

57
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive

58
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: me for lots of things. I would love reconciliation with

59
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: my family. You know, there's no point in continuing to

60
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: fight anymore. Life is precious. I don't know how much

61
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: longer my father has.

62
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: William knows the monarchy can exist only with the good

63
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: will of the British people, and he already thinking about

64
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: his duty to hand the crown on to his son,

65
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: Prince George. All that meant embarrassing Uncle Andrew had to

66
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: go here. He is speaking to Eugene Levy in an

67
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: episode of The Reluctant Traveler.

68
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 4: I want to create a world in which my son

69
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: is proud of what we do in a world and

70
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: a job that actually does impact people's life for the better.

71
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: Come back to the Front over the weekend for our

72
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: look at contemporary art and why it makes us so angry.
