“They’re really pushing Andrew to get tough and make a stand and to ruffle the feathers of the monarchy. Tensions have never been so bad and Fergie is 100 per cent behind it. This feud really has the potential to destroy the royal family.”
Also leaving the palace in turmoil is the news that the once inseparable Prince William and Prince Harry are going their separate ways.
“Up to now William and Harry have been seen as a double act but the time is now right for them to go their separate ways,” says royal reporter Phil Dampier.
“They are both now married and have different roles to play. “Much of William’s future is mapped out for him as a future Prince of Wales and then King.
“Kate, of course, has three young children, so they have their hands full.
“It makes sense for them to have separate staffs to cope with their needs, while Harry and Meghan will have a new course to follow.”
