Britain's royal saga intensifies as Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is arrested on misconduct-in-public-office allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein, at the Sandringham Estate, challenging Buckingham Palace’s push to move beyond the scandals. If charges are filed, the case could proceed for months and will formally be in King Charles III’s name; the king pledged cooperation with investigators while the monarchy faces renewed scrutiny of its moral authority.
Prince Andrew faces arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office amid raids on his properties, while his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson’s whereabouts remain unknown; she hasn’t appeared publicly since late 2025 and rumors of relocation or further scrutiny—including Epstein-file ties—persist, though no confirmed location or police contact has been reported.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry released the first public photo of their daughter Lilibet Diana, showing her red hair and a strong resemblance to Harry; the Valentine’s Day post also touched on motherhood and legacy, marking Lilibet’s first look to the public.
Emails reported by the Telegraph and BBC suggest that in 2010 Prince Andrew forwarded a UK Treasury briefing on Iceland’s banking crisis to his business associate Jonathan Rowland, raising questions about sharing official information with private contacts during his time as trade envoy. The revelations tie Rowland to Banque Havilland and to Epstein, though Rowland and his father deny wrongdoing and officials have not commented on investigations, while police and government sources discuss possible inquiries into misconduct in public office. The saga adds to scrutiny of Andrew’s close relationships with powerful financiers.
New Epstein files allege Prince Andrew shared confidential trade information with Jeffrey Epstein during his 2001–2011 tenure as Britain's trade envoy, including trip details to Singapore, Vietnam, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong and a confidential briefing on Afghanistan's reconstruction investment opportunities. Emails show him forwarding official trip reports to Epstein soon after receipt. Andrew has denied wrongdoing and says he ended his friendship with Epstein; the disclosures align with ongoing scrutiny of his associations and the confidentiality obligations tied to the trade envoy role.
Terrance Gore, a speedy outfielder who played eight MLB seasons with the Royals, Cubs, Dodgers and Mets and helped three teams win World Series titles, died at 34 from complications after a procedure. Drafted by Kansas City in 2011, Gore was renowned for elite baserunning (23 steals in 2014) and his pinch-running roles, including a key run for the Cubs in the 2018 wild-card loss, with postseason stints spanning the Royals (2015), Dodgers (2020) and Braves (2021). His death was confirmed by a family friend; his wife noted it was due to complications from a simple procedure, and tributes highlighted his energy, humility, and impact through his baseball academy.
Terrance Gore, the Royals speedster who helped Kansas City win the 2015 World Series despite not recording a major league hit until 2018, died Feb. 6 at 34 from complications during routine surgery. Known for a 4.29-second 40-yard dash and a career-starting 17-for-17 in stolen bases, Gore played for the Royals, Cubs, Dodgers, Braves and Mets over parts of eight MLB seasons, appeared in the 2021 NLDS with Atlanta, and celebrated the Braves’ title during that run. Born in Macon, Georgia, he attended Gulf Coast State College, was drafted by Kansas City in 2011, and after retirement worked as a speed and baseball trainer in Panama City with his wife Britney and their three children.
New Epstein documents reveal Beatrice and Eugenie had more contact with Epstein than previously acknowledged, including a Miami lunch and the suggestion that Ferguson arranged meetings and palace tours, with flights allegedly paid by Epstein. While the sisters are not working royals, the disclosures threaten their public image and fuel questions about their place in the Royal Family. Experts are divided—some see them as adults caught in their mother’s orbit, others argue they can’t be easily separated from the scandal. The Palace, led by King Charles, appears to be preserving their roles as they continue their charitable and professional work, and attend family events, while public scrutiny of royal finances persists.
New US DOJ Epstein files imply deeper financial links with Sarah Ferguson, including a 2009 £20,000 rent request and speculation the total support could reach £2 million, challenging her claim she severed ties after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. The piece ties Ferguson to lean post-divorce finances, failed business ventures like Hartmoor LLC, a 2010 sting over access to Prince Andrew for payment, and the rent-free Royal Lodge arrangement funded by Andrew; with King Charles moving to curb subsidised royal living, Ferguson reportedly eyes Beatrice’s Oxfordshire home, and her charity Sarah’s Trust is set to close in 2026.
The Kansas City Royals will have their 2026 games produced and distributed by Major League Baseball on a new Royals.TV platform, ending a deal with FanDuel Sports KC. Fans can watch on cable, satellite, the MLB app, or MLB.TV, with the Royals’ announcing team largely unchanged. The change expands reach via MLB’s distribution but comes with financial risk due to lost revenue from the previous deal as Main Street Sports Group faces uncertainties.
New Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice include emails in which Sarah Ferguson describes herself as 'traumatised and alone', asks about working for Epstein to 'organise your houses', and references her daughters' involvement; some messages date to Epstein’s prison years, illustrating a perceived dependence on him and tension with press scrutiny. The BBC notes that being named in Epstein files does not imply wrongdoing, and Ferguson's charity later announced it would close.
Valentino Garavani, the Italian couturier behind the iconic Valentino red gowns worn by royals and stars for decades, has died at 93 in Rome, with his foundation confirming the news. He founded the house in 1959, retired in 2008, and left a lasting impact on red-carpet glamour as Valentino’s brand continued under new leadership and ownership.
