Woman agrees to testify against Andrew
Shukri Walker is prepared to testify against the Duke of York and reveal details of an alleged encounter she had with him at Tramp nightclub in London in 2001.
Ms Walker has already given a written statement to the FBI saying she vividly remembers seeing Andrew with the then 17-year-old, the Mirror reports.
And now she will “do her duty” if called up as a witness, her lawyer said.
Virginia, now 38, claims she was forced to have sex with the duke in London, at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and on his Caribbean island.
One of the instances where Virginia claims she was forced to have sex with the Prince was after the trip to Tramp in Mayfair.

‘Fighting back to clear his name’
PRINCE Andrew has reportedly vowed to “fight back” to clear his name with claims he has dramatically changed his strategy in the Virginia Roberts sex assault case.
Andrew, 61, has vehemently denied the allegations in the past.
But the prince has finally conceded that the legal papers relating to the sex assault claims have been served.
In a joint stipulation filed on Friday in a US federal court, Andrew’s attorneys confirmed they had received copies of the complaint and summons.
However, Andrew’s lawyers plan to “examine and dismantle the claims one by one”.
A well-placed source said the decision to bring in Andrew Brettler, the Duke’s high-profile US lawyer, marks a “significant turning point” in the proceedings.
“The US team will be looking to robustly engage and challenge the claims from Mrs Giuffre in a bid to provide the Duke with a platform to finally clear his name,” the source said.

Book claims William ‘bullied’ Harry into leaving
PRINCE William BULLIED Prince Harry and Meghan Markle until they left the Royal Family, a book claims.
Royal author Andrew Morton has added six chapters to his 2019 book, Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, some of which focuses of Megxit and the reasons the runaway royals eventually fled the UK.
“The Duchess of Cambridge’s coolness towards Meghan, and William’s alleged bullying contributed to a devastating Cain and Abel fallout between the brothers,” Morton says in extracts published in the Mail on Sunday.
Harry ‘oozed alcohol from every pore’
Prince Harry “oozed alcohol from every pore” and stank of cigarettes during his “wild-oats sowing phase”, a famous US TV host has claimed.
Katie Couric has detailed encounters with both the Duke of Sussex and his uncle, Prince Andrew, in her new memoir Going There.
She met Harry at a polo match in Brazil – but criticised his odour of booze and cigarettes, which seemed to “ooze from every pore”, the Daily Mail reports.
The prince has admitted turning to drugs to cope with his mum’s death.
And he said he would regularly drink “a week’s worth of alcohol in one day”.
The 37-year-old opened up about his struggles with his mental well-being and the trauma that haunts him in recent doc The Me You Can’t See.
“I was willing to drink, I was willing to take drugs, I was willing to try and do the things that made me feel less like I was feeling,” he said.
Green fingers
The green-fingered Queen is set to plant a tree to mark her Platinum Jubilee as she gets to work with Charles after her summer break.
The Monarch was joined by her son and heir Prince Charles at Balmoral for one of the few public engagements carried out after the death of her “strength and stay” Prince Philip this year.
The Queen and her son planted a tree at the Balmoral Cricket Pavilion to mark the start of the official planting season at the 50,000-acre Scottish estate.

Royal courtiers ‘kept largely in dark’ on Andrew case updates – reports
Andrew’s personal finances are unclear but experts have pointed out that he has no regular source of income.
He leases his home, Royal Lodge on the Queen’s Windsor estate, and is expected to sell a Swiss ski chalet to repay a debt to its previous owner, who claims he and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson owe her £6.7 million.
The Queen’s contribution to Andrew’s defence reportedly means his UK-based legal team, led by Gary Bloxsome, are reportedly obliged to provide updates to Buckingham Palace about the case.
However, courtiers have been kept “largely in the dark”, according to The Telegraph.

Princess Beatrice follows Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and William and Kate with royal baby name trend

Back in June, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
She was named after the Queen’s family nickname and also Harry’s mother Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in 1997.
Prince William and Kate Middleton’s six-year-old daughter Charlotte’s name also pays tribute to the monarch.
Her full name, including her title, is Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge.

Meg & Harry slammed as ‘insufferable’ by Sky News host
Sky News host Alan Jones snapped live on air today – blasting that the “whole world is fed up” with Harry & Meghan’s “preaching”.
Incensed by the couple’s high-profile trip to New York last week, the Australian presenter slammed the pair and blasted their “do-gooder activities”.
Mr Jones argued that as the pair had chosen to quit as senior royals, they should not be arranging to meet people in power.
“These two are truly insufferable,” he fumed.
“The latest, a trip to New York for a bunch of do-gooder activities. One was to visit the United Nations to have a meeting with the United Nations deputy Secretary-General. Honestly, on what basis are these two non-working members of the royal family meeting any politician or world leader?”
Mr Jone also hit out at the couple for sharing messages and lecturing about climate change and the coronavirus pandemic.
He continued: “I mean, the whole world is fed up with these two and their preaching. I thought they wanted to live a quiet life out of the limelight. I think we wish they did.”

Sussexes attempted to pull focus from Royals onto themselves
Harry, 37, was seen with a wire hanging out of his trouser pocket, leaving many suspecting there could have been other motives for his and Meghan’s NY trip.
Claims they were filming for Netflix continued after pictures emerged showing a cameraman trailing the couple for much of their trip.
Royal writer Angela Levin told The Sun: “As well as attempting to pull focus from the Royal Family onto themselves, they appeared to be filming the whole thing for a Netflix documentary.
“Harry was spotted with a microphone wire going into his back pocket and cameras were catching every moment of their chats with members of the public and the mayor of New York.
“My question is whether they have told all the people they are talking to that they will be included [in the documentary].”

Are Harry & Meghan under pressure to reveal?
In March, Harry told US talk show queen Oprah Winfrey he would never name the alleged royal racist.
But The Sun understands he and Meghan, 40, are under pressure to release it.
Harry scored a £15million multi-book deal with Penguin Random House — but only one is thought to be a memoir. Buckingham Palace did not want to comment.

Prince Harry may name royal ‘racist’ in new £15m book
THE Royal Family is braced for another devastating attack from Prince Harry — as he personally researches his mother’s life for a new book. Experts also fear he may use the memoir to name the “royal racist”.
Royal insiders believe he will now be under extreme pressure to identify the family member he alleges made racist remarks about the colour of baby son Archie’s skin.
Harry is understood to have been contacting Princess Diana’s old friends. It had been thought he would leave most of the work to a ghostwriter. Now, Palace sources are “surprised” at how involved he has become.
Harry has told how he took wife Meghan and Archie to the US to stop “history repeating itself” — and drew comparisons to Di.
Royal expert Penny Junor said: “The publishers are going to want a lot for their money, such as naming this so-called racist.
“He’s researching his mother’s life so he’s going to be talking about his parents’ marriage, the break up, the affairs. That could be incredibly damaging for his father and Camilla. Charles is going to be king and Camilla his queen. The last thing they or the country needs is another upsurge of anger based on what I believe to be false, false accusations.”

Explained: Kate Middleton’s fashion journey
IT’S taken Kate No Time to get back into the swing of red carpet events, but it’s been a slow and steady build-up to the Duchess finding her stylish, gold-heeled feet.
Attending the premiere of the latest James Bond movie this week, Kate wore her best look to date — a custom Jenny Packham caped dress bedazzled with thousands of gold sequins, which usually costs £3,640.
It outshone every Hollywood A-lister and proved as big a talking point as the film itself.
Even though Kate has walked her fair share of red carpets, this is the first time she has worn such a showstopper of an outfit.
Her style has evolved from shy wallflower to perfect princess.

Prince Andrew attended creepy Jeffrey Epstein party
Prince Andrew cosied up to Jeffrey Epstein at a creepy Eyes Wide Shut style party – where the female staff “looked very young”, a book claims.
US television host Katie Couric says she was also a guest at the 2010 dinner at Epstein’s £57million townhouse in Manhattan – dubbed “paedo mansion” after he raped underage girls there.
Couric’s memoir describes the setting as “Eyes Wide Shut with a twist – creepy chandeliers and body-part art”, reports DailyMail.com.
Guests ate lasagne out of shallow bowls and Epstein “held court” in front of the fireplace with Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Rose.
On the way home, Couric’s boyfriend Brooks Perlin remarked to her how young the women who took their coats were, she recalls.
She also writes: “I couldn’t imagine what Epstein and Andrew were up to, apart from trying to cultivate friends in the media.
“Which, in retrospect, they must have figured they’d need.”

‘Creating a lasting legacy to the Queen’
The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) aims to “create a lasting legacy” to the Queen by urging people to start their own tree-planting projects across the UK with the call to action: “Plant a tree for the jubilee.”
The scheme encourages planting to take place between October and March, to optimise the chance of trees surviving and flourishing.
The children presented the queen with a hand-made card to mark the end of her traditional summer break at her beloved Scottish residence.
The monarch thanked them for the “very kind” gesture after being presented with the card by Annie Hutchin, aged “six and a half”, and Skye Jones, nine.
Annie said afterwards: “She asked how we made it and said we did a lovely job.”

Royal Family is ‘rooting’ for Kate
THE entire royal family is “rooting” for Kate Middleton who won’t “use the monarchy for her own personal gain like Meghan Markle”, insiders have said.
Sources close to the Firm told MailOnline: “It’s fair to say the whole institution has been rooting for the Duchess of Cambridge.
“There was a clear moment where an active decision was made to change her look – be more confident in her style, her approach, her projects, the events she would say yes to.
“There was a clear moment where an active decision was made to change her look – be more confident in her style, her approach, her projects, the events she would say yes to.
“This was nothing about changing stylists or staff, either. It was about Kate acknowledging the Duchess of Sussex had changed the game and it was necessary for her to compete.
“That had already been going on between the Prince of Wales and his two sons for some time, but Catherine had never felt the need to get involved. She is the ultimate team player.
“But she soon became aware of how Meghan was trying to use the monarchy for her own personal gain and it helped Catherine understand the importance of the role she could play.”

Sussexes took 21 private jets in 2 years
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded “completely hypocritical” after reportedly taking 21 private jets in two years while preaching about climate change.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared at a gig at the weekend calling for action on climate change — and then climbed aboard a Dassault Falcon 2000 jet and flew back to their £11million mansion in Montecito, California.
The star-studded Global Citizen Live concert in New York — dubbed “Wokestock” — demanded tough new eco laws to halve US emissions by 2030.
Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, appeared on stage and pressed the “wealthiest nations” to deliver on a £70billion-a-year pledge to help developing countries go green.
But after the event, the couple flew home by private jet, with pictures showing them hugging their team after stepping off the aircraft.
