Prince Andrew’s Grumpy New Year: A Strict Diet and Royal Struggles

As the New Year unfolds, Prince Andrew is feeling the weight of his new diet, and it seems to be affecting his mood more than he anticipated.

Sources close to the Duke of York reveal that his strict regimen has left him grumpier than usual, a sentiment echoed by staff at Royal Lodge.

This dieting decision comes on the heels of some troubling revelations regarding Andrew's past.

Earlier this month, court documents in the United States implicated him in serious allegations involving an underage orgy and s– tapes, claims that Andrew has vehemently denied.

The release of these documents has only added to the pressure he faces, as King Charles reportedly refuses to cover Andrew's £32,000 annual bill for an Indian healer, further complicating matters.

The healer in question is a male yogi who provides treatments through massages, chanting, and holistic therapy.

However, with King Charles stepping back from financial support, Andrew's access to these alternative therapies may be dwindling, contributing to his foul mood.

Despite the controversy surrounding him, Andrew has largely kept a low profile since the unsealed court files came to light.

He was recently seen driving his Land Rover Defender to Windsor Castle but made a quick retreat back to his 31-room mansion, where he has been isolating himself.

Insiders have noted that he seems to be locking himself away, perhaps as a way to cope with the mounting stress.

Reports indicate that Andrew's irritability stems primarily from his adherence to this new diet rather than the resurfacing of his legal troubles.

According to a source, “He hates it and it makes him irritable.”

This suggests that the dietary changes might be more than just a health choice; they could be a factor in his emotional state during a tumultuous time.

In the midst of this personal turmoil, there's also buzz about a film project featuring Gillian Anderson and Rufus Sewell.

The movie will center around Andrew's infamous Newsnight interview, a moment that has haunted him since its airing.

Interestingly, this project is not directly linked to the recent court documents, indicating that filmmakers are still keen to explore this controversial chapter of royal history.

King Charles appears to be distancing himself from his younger brother, particularly following the release of the Epstein files.

There are whispers that the monarch wishes to relocate Andrew from Royal Lodge, which he has called home since 2002.

However, the lease doesn't expire until 2078, complicating any potential moves.

As the dust settles from the latest allegations, calls for Andrew to be stripped of his title are growing louder.
