It's been one nightmare after another for the royal family so far royal family in 2022. Prince Andrew paid $16 million to one of Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking victims after she sued the Duke of York for sexually assaulting her when she was 17. (He denies the assault.) Prince Harry took on the British government over its decision to pull his police protection. Prince William and Kate Middleton drew international criticism for their “tone-deaf” royal tours of the Caribbean. And both Queen Elizabeth II, who's been in declining health since the fall, and her son Prince Charles were stricken with COVID.
HARRY IN TEARS!
Now they're dealing with a fresh new drama: the fallout from yet another explosive royals tell-all. On April 26, Tina Brown, the famed former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, released the book The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor - the Truth and the Turmoil, which is full of humiliating stories and claims about the embattled royal family. “With the queen not well and this being her Platinum Jubilee, where she's celebrating 70 years on the throne, the timing couldn't be worse," a palace source tells In Touch. "It's the last thing she needs at 96. The revelations in the book — including how a devious phone-hacking incident left the royals reeling – "have rocked the family and their courtiers, and the palace is panicking."
SPILLING TEA
"The palace is a snake pit," Tina Brown describes in her new tell-all. "It's a crusty, dusty place, which has got quite a lot of viperish people in it."
