ANDREW'S TEDDY BEAR MELTDOWN: KATE 'SILENT ASSASSIN' AS FBI DEMANDS ANSWERS - The week in Royal news with Mark Francis

Palace Intrigue delivers the most disturbing year-end revelations as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor suffers complete mental breakdown, treating teddy bears as real companions and insisting "the move from Royal Lodge will be difficult for them because it's their home too." Insiders expose Andrew "projecting his own feelings onto them like a child would" in what palace sources call a "truly pitiable state." But Andrew's rage targets Princess Kate as his "silent assassin," with sources revealing he's "completely fixated on Kate" and blames her for "whipping William into a frenzy" to force him out.

Andrew believes Kate is "poisoning the well" and "vowing to get back at her" for deliberately freezing him out. Explosive FBI revelations expose agents demanding answers about Andrew's relationship with SECOND millionaire sex offender Peter Nygard—now serving 11 years for sexual assault.

Plus, newly released Epstein emails show someone identified as "A" writing from Balmoral asking Ghislaine Maxwell for "inappropriate friends." Year in numbers: Andrew mentioned 1,271 times. Plus, rumors of Harry/Meghan Diana documentary for 30th anniversary to salvage Netflix deal.
