• Anne’s ‘wildly unpredictable’ move contradicts King Charles orders
• Mike Tindall supports mother-in-law as royals step back
• Andrew’s arrest leaves Anne is major dilemma, King’s sister takes action

Princess Anne, known for her stoic and no-nonsense approach to matters especially related to the monarchy, seemed to have taken a “wildly unpredictable” step in the wake of the Andrew-Epstein scandal.

In a shocking turn of events, as all royal members distance themselves from the shamed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Anne had been privately contacting her middle brother, with the support of her son-in-law, Mike Tindall.

The Princess Royal held her firm stance earlier this week as the royals gathered at the Westminster Abbey for the Commonwealth Day service, and ignored the anti-monarchy protestors swarming the vicinity.

King Charles’s sister is of the view that private matters, relating to the members of the royal family should remain out of the public’s reach, a policy that Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip adhered to.

However, it became increasingly difficult for the royals to remain oblivious when humiliating photos and emails were exposed in the Epstein files. Anne wad forced to admit that it was now becoming “harder” for the royals to defend Andrew, according to royal expert Richard Kay.

King Charles has made it clear that Andrew is ousted from the royal fold, stripped from his titles and honours, and other members are also advised to keep their distance from the York, especially the Britons’ strong feelings towards the ex-prince.

Although, it does seem like a slight act of defiance if Anne has remained in contact.

“Shaken by his arrest, I understand she has continued to be in contact with him,” the royal expert said. “Despite that familiar gruff and just-get-on-with-it approach she inherited from Prince Philip, Anne has been concerned about Andrew’s mental welfare as his world has imploded.”

He continued, “Intriguingly, this has been encouraged by her son in law, former rugby player Mike Tindall, who may have more real-world experience than any other royal.”

Insiders insist that the Princess Royal understands the “risk of reputational damage to the institution would be considerable” if the royals kept ties with Andrew. Moreover, she supports King Charles’s decision and remains “devoted” to the monarch.

Katie Price has shared her true feelings about her new husband Lee Andrews in her latest Instagram post.

It is pertinent to mention that she tied the knot with Lee Andrews, just 10 days after meeting him. 

Since then, the couple have been updating followers about their blossoming romance with loved -up selfies and cosy photos from date nights together.

Now she has re-shared the photo to her own Instagram story as she said: “You make me so happy”.

The star, who was known by the pseudonym Jordan during her glamour modelling days, said “manifesting does work” when she shared a photo to confirm her engagement in January.

Katie has previously been engaged eight times and has been married on three occasions to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler respectively.

She was also engaged to Warren Furman, Scott Sullivan, Leandro Penna, Kris Boyson and Carl Woods, although they never tied the knot. 

Katie recently tied the knot with Dubai businessman Lee Andrews in Dubai, before holding a second, legal ceremony in February – much to the shock and concern of fans and her family.

Her marriage reportedly left her family in shock, with some said to be upset about her decision.

Despite making several promises, Lee has yet to leave Dubai, leaving his wife to travel back and forth between her work and children’s commitments in the UK and Dubai.
