Prince Andrew was removed from official royal duties in the days after the 2019 disaster interview

The Queen was apparently “horrified” over the Prince Andrew’s infamous BBC Newsnight interview.

The late monarch remained publicly silent amid Prince Andrew’s defence of sexual assault allegations, but the late monarch’s private feelings have been exposed by royal insiders.

Prince Andrew was removed from official royal duties in the days after the 2019 disaster interview.

The former BBC journalist, who interviewed Prince Andrew, says he was summoned to the palace after the late Queen read the transcript shortly before the broadcast.

A royal insider says If Prince Andrew had listened to the Queen and his daughter, Princess Beatrice, who both tried to talk him out of the televised appearance, things would be different today.

The insider went on to say although the queen might have been horrified, it was too difficult to stop the interview because that would create more publicity.

Harry has long spoken out about his anger over press intrusion, which he blames for his mother’s death

Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and her mother were involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” involving paparazzi photographers in New York.

The incident took place after they left the Ms. Foundation for Women, where Meghan was honoured for her work.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD (New York Police Department) officers,” said Prince Harry’s spokesperson.

The chase involved paparazzi driving on the sidewalk, running red lights and driving while taking pictures.

“I thought that was a bit reckless and irresponsible,” New York Mayor Eric Adams said.

Harry has long spoken out about his anger over press intrusion, which he blames for his mother’s death.

Princess Diana was killed when her limousine crashed as it sped away from chasing paparazzi in Paris in 1997.

Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties in 2020, partly over what they described as intense media harassment.

Harry is currently involved in numerous court cases in London where he has accused papers of using unlawful methods to target him and his family.

Despite the crackdown on A.I., one famous actor has raised the prospect of his career continuing after his death by using the technology

‘Forrest Gump’ and ‘Cast Away’ actor Tom Hanks says new tech could be used to recreate his image to appear in movies “from now until kingdom come”.

Hanks was asked about the legal ramifications of A.I. on a recent podcast with Adam Buxton.

He says talks are being held in the film industry about how to protect actors from the effects of the technology.

Hanks told the host: “I could be hit by a bus tomorrow and that’s it, but performances can go on and on and on and on.”

The award-winning actor acknowledged that tech developments could lead to an AI-generated version of himself appearing in films he may not not normally choose.
