Tom Sykes is doing his Royalist Substack full-time now, and he’s had some interesting exclusives, straight from sources close to Scooter King William. That was the case in Sykes’ Daily Beast days as well – his sources are consistently Scooter-adjacent, let’s say. Well, in one exclusive, Sykes was going on and on about how Prince William was claiming credit for Prince Andrew’s title-demotion, all because King Charles is “dying” and William is regent in all but name. Sykes also noted: When William “ascends to the throne, I am told he will issue new letters patent (as royal executive orders are known) to strip Andrew (and Harry, Archie, Lilibet, Eugenie, and Beatrice) of their HRH and Princely titles.” Perhaps sensing that this was a bigger exclusive than “William demands credit for Andrew’s demotion,” Sykes then spun out this Letters Patent story into a second exclusive:
Prince William will strip Prince Andrew, along with all other non-working royals, of their HRHs and princely titles when he ascends to the throne, friends and allies of the Prince have told The Royalist. The dramatic change will be effected by an executive royal order known as “letters patent” ratified by Parliament in the early weeks of the reign of King William V. It will remove princely titles not just from Andrew but also from Beatrice, Eugenie, Harry, Archie, and Lilibet. The children of Prince Edward and Princess Anne have never used princely titles.
Meghan and Harry will also see their dukedoms and HRHs formally revoked by the new king, the source said. Meghan continues to use her HRH despite being ordered not to do so by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
A source said William’s own children may have their titles informally “parked” until they become adults and can decide for themselves if they want to be full-time working royals or lead lives as private citizens. The source said they are never addressed as prince or princess in any situation by their parents, teachers, staff, or family.
As an ally of William’s told The Royalist: “On Wednesday, the king’s office was saying that removing the dukedom would be a completely lame and ineffectual gesture unless you took away the prince title as well. On Friday, it’s suddenly the other way round, and persuading him to drop the duke title, without even taking it away, is being held up as a triumph of the king’s steely will. His operation is a mess.”
Another friend of William’s, who told The Royalist about the plan to remove a huge swathe of princely titles, said: “It should have been done by Charles this week, but William knows he doesn’t have the strength because of his illness. William is understanding of his father’s situation. William won’t be afraid to take the next step.”
They added: “William thinks about Queen Margrethe of Denmark a lot.”
In 2022, Queen Margrethe II removed princely titles from four of her grandchildren—Nikolai, Felix, Henrik, and Athena. The Queen said the decision was made to allow her grandchildren greater freedom to shape their own lives.
The intel gathered on this issue by The Royalist meshes with a report in the London Sunday Times today that Andrew will be excluded from William’s coronation, that he considers his uncle a “threat” to the monarchy, and is deeply concerned about the message Andrew’s presence at royal events sends to victims of sexual abuse.
While this is not the most important thing to note, I can’t help thinking that William’s coronation is going to be really pitiful. He openly loathes the pomp, he hates most of his family, and he hates to work. He’ll probably demand that they pop the crown on his egg head in front of literally twos of people, and then straight from his coronation, he’ll head to one of his castles and no one will see him for weeks.
As for William’s promises to strip almost everyone of their HRHs, ducal titles, what have you… so be it. He’s been threatening that for years, specifically with the Sussexes. At this point, it makes no difference to Harry and Meghan or their children. I find it bizarre that William is so set on “punishing” his niece and nephew, considering he’s only met Archie once or twice and he’s never even been in the same room as Lili. But the Scooter King’s Letters Patent will just show how idiotic the whole thing really is. Either it matters that you’re born into royalty or it doesn’t. Either all of QEII’s descendents have magic royal blood or they don’t. Make up your mind.

The Diwali 2025 season has kicked off in style, and global celebrities, including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Bhumi Pednekar, and Avantika Vandanapu, served glamorous party looks at the recently held Diwali bash in New York City. From fully embellished suits to glittering all the way and channelling classic traditions, these powerhouses made every fashion moment worth remembering.
Priyanka Chopra arrived in a white three-piece set that was stylish, modern and loaded with personality. Designed by Zuhair Murad, Pee Cee gave her own twist to the Indian choli by tying around a sarong. She paired the makeshift choli with a sheer full-sleeve jacket that featured mirror work and delicate embroidery. She paired it with high-waist matching pants. Priyanka let the outfit grab the spotlight by accessorising it with minimal jewellery pieces.
Bhumi Pednekar stunned in a glimmering saree from the house of Falguni Shane Peacock. She opted for a modern version of the classic saree, featuring a silver-cut blouse, its halter neck embroidered with metallic copper flowers. Instead of going for the usual pallu drape, Bhumi let it rest freely on her hand. With this outfit, she blended old-world glamour with futuristic flair and opted for minimal accessories.
Mean Girls actress Avantika Vandanapu stunned in a pink saree with silver work from the house of Falguni Shane Peacock India. She gave the pallu a conventional look and simply grabbed attention with rooted aestheticism. Avantika paired the drape with a heavy worked blouse with danglers at the edges, which added weight to her festive spirit. Keeping the look neat and subtle, she simply accessorised it with heavy earrings.
These divas not only owned the fashion moments, but added spark to the Diwali bash with their statement wears.

Prince Harry and King Charles III Are Not Speaking
Harry told the BBC May 2 that his father King Charles III won’t speak to him “because of this security stuff,” but added that “it would be nice to reconcile.”
The Duke of Sussex, who shares kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet with Meghan, said that he would love to reconnect with his family. But the ball is in his dad’s court.
“I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point,” he said. “It’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”
“There is a lot of control and ability in my father’s hands, ultimately this whole thing could be resolved through him,” Harry added. “Not necessarily by intervening but by stepping aside and allowing the experts to do what is necessary and to carry on.”
Despite the years of conflict, he’s waving the white flag in hopes of reconciliation. He added, “Life is precious, I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
Prince Andrew has confirmed he will relinquish all of his royal titles including Duke of York.
Prince Andrew has confirmed he will relinquish all of his royal titles including Duke of York
The disgraced 65-year-old, who has been mired in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal for years, made the announcement in a statement released on Friday (17.10.25), hours after reports he had held talks with King Charles about giving them up.
He said: “In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.
“I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.
“With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”
Charles is reportedly “glad” with the outcome.
Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, 65, were given their titles Duke and Duchess of York on their wedding day in 1986 – and she will also drop her Duchess title.
Andrew remains Duke of York but the title will not be used and
he will not attend family celebrations for Christmas at Sandringham, according to The Sun.
Despite handing his royal titles back he will remain at Royal Lodge as he has a “cast iron” tenancy until 2078.
It follows a series of damaging revelations about Andrew’s continued contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Sun on Sunday reported the Duke of York was found to have lied about cutting ties with the disgraced financier, after an email surfaced in which he told Epstein: “We are in this together.”
The message, dated 29 February 2011, came just one day after the now-infamous photograph of Andrew with Virginia Giuffre was made public.
According to The Telegraph, the King met with his brother at Buckingham Palace earlier this week, after which Andrew agreed to give up his remaining royal titles.
Sources told the newspaper palace aides had reached “tipping point” and believed the monarchy had “no choice but to act” following the latest disclosures about Epstein.
The decision marks the most severe action yet taken against Andrew, who was stripped of his military titles, royal patronages and HRH style by Queen Elizabeth II in January 2022 after a US judge ruled he must face a civil sexual assault case brought by Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre.
Andrew later settled the case for an undisclosed sum without admitting liability and has consistently denied having sex with her.
Virginia, who died by suicide in April aged 41, is making posthumous claims in her forthcoming autobiography Nobody’s Girl, alleging she was trafficked to Andrew by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell as a teenager.
In the book, due to be released on 21 October, she reportedly writes Andrew viewed their encounters as his “birth right” and said “thank you” to her in a “clipped British accent”.
Virginia also claims Maxwell told her the morning after the alleged encounter: “You did well, the prince had fun.”
Earlier this year, Andrew was also linked to a separate controversy involving alleged contact with a Chinese spy.
Leaked documents from 2019 showed that he had met with Chinese officials, including Yang Tengbo, and sought to use his royal connections to raise £2.4 billion for an international technology initiative.
Security sources later described the relationship as a potential “threat to national security”.
The rock world is in a state of deep mourning for Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley, who died Oct. 16 following a fall at his home.
“We are devastated by the passing of Ace Frehley,” Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley said in a joint statement. “He was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative foundational chapters of the band and its history. He is and will always be a part of KISS’s legacy.
Frehley was a part of Kiss from their earliest shows in 1973 all the way until 1982, when he left due to substance abuse issues, musical differences, and persistent personality clashes with Simmons and Stanley. He rejoined in 1996 for the group’s triumphant reunion run, but left again 2002 following the conclusion of the band’s first farewell tour.
The original four members last stood onstage together when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, but they didn’t perform that night. In 2018, however, Frehley played four songs with the new lineup of the band at a Kiss Kruise on Halloween. It was Frehley’s final appearance with the band. Earlier that year, Simmons and Frehley went on a co-headlining tour of Australia, and wrapped up every night by playing a couple of Kiss songs together.
Over the past two decades, Freely toured all across America with his solo band, hitting a mixture of theaters, casinos, clubs, and fairs. His set focused heavily on tunes from the Kiss catalog, but he did break out a few solo gems like “Cherry Medicine,” “Rock Soldiers,” “Rip It Out,” and his famous cover of Russ Ballard’s “New York Groove.”
His last gig took place Sept. 5, 2025, at the Uptown Theater in Providence, Rhode Island. Check out fan-shot footage of show opener “Deuce,” along with “New York Groove.” Like countless Kiss concerts before it, the night wrapped up with “Rock and Roll All Nite.” “This next song if you haven’t heard, it, you’re probably an alien,” Freely told the crowd, “because everyone has heard this song even if you’re not a Kiss fan or an Ace fan. Check it out.”
Later that month, Frehley canceled a show at the Antelope Valley Fair in Lancaster, California, after suffering a fall at his home that required a trip to the hospital. About a month later, he pulled all of his remaining dates due to “ongoing medical issues.”
Kiss are scheduled to make their first live appearance since the conclusion of their 2023 farewell tour at the Kiss Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas event on the weekend of Nov. 14 at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. The band hasn’t said exactly what they’ll do at the show, but they won’t be in makeup and they’re promising acoustic and electric tunes.
Fans held out hope that Frehley and Peter Criss would pop up at the event and give the world the proper goodbye they were denied on the second farewell tour. Sadly, that’s now impossible. But odd are high they’ll at least hold a special tribute to Frehley.
“We are going to be the fashion week for beauty,” Liza Rapay, vice president and head of Cosmoprof North America, says of her latest brainchild, Beauty New York. Cosmoprof is the largest business-to-business beauty trade event in North America with footholds in Las Vegas and Miami. Now, it’s set …
