Royal Family

Princess Eugenie is stepping down as patron of the world’s oldest human rights organization ... and the timing’s raising eyebrows after her father, former Prince Andrew, was arrested last month.

The UK-based charity Anti-Slavery International confirmed the split in a statement thanking Eugenie for seven years of support, ending with a polite send-off ... "We hope that she continues to work to end slavery."

The org didn’t waste time cleaning house -- her profile was quickly scrubbed from the website ... despite previously praising her work ''across the board with leaders in the fight against modern slavery.”

Netflix is no longer in the Meghan Markle business, TMZ has confirmed.

A Netflix spokesperson tells TMZ ... “Meghan’s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways inspired the creation of the As Ever brand, and we are glad to have played a role in bringing that vision to life."

The statement goes on, "As it was always intended, Meghan will continue growing the brand and take it into its next chapter independently, and we look forward to celebrating how she continues to bring joy to households around the world."

The hits just keep coming for former Prince Andrew … In his latest public shaming, the British government is reportedly considering erasing him from the line of succession to the monarchy after his much-publicized arrest last week.

The BBC reports members of Parliament are now mulling bringing forth legislation that -- if passed -- would prevent Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from ever becoming King ... a position currently held by his older brother, Charles.

Luke Pollard -- the British Defense Minister -- spoke with the BBC, saying the legislation would be the "right thing to do" no matter what the outcome is of the police investigation into Andrew.

Ghislaine Maxwell's brother is publicly backing former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ... claiming his actions may have been "sleazy" -- but, prosecutors clearly can't find any sexual misconduct dirt on him.

Ian Maxwell -- Ghislaine's older brother -- spoke with the UK publication The Telegraph on Thursday ... which just so happened to be the day Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The former prince had a known association with Ghislaine and her late partner Jeffrey Epstein ... so naturally, the arrest came up.

Maxwell says Mountbatten-Windsor is going through an even more difficult time than his sister -- because while he and other family members stand behind her, he thinks the royals have abandoned Andrew.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor -- formerly known as Prince Andrew -- turned fun bags into kicks for kids in some very un-princely photos obtained by TMZ.

These pics of Andrew, taken back in 2011, show the then-Duke of York kneeling across from a young boy and rolling a ball back and forth with him.

Just clean, wholesome fun ... until you realize the ball is painted like a breast, complete with a pale pink nipple protruding from it.

President Trump says former Prince Andrew's arrest in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein Files is bad for the British royal family.

Trump was asked about Andrew's Thursday arrest during a scrum with reporters on Air Force One and said he thinks "it's a shame."

POTUS went on to say the whole situation was "very sad" and "so bad" for the Royals.

Here's the first look at former Prince Andrew leaving a police station in England ... and he's in the back seat of a Range Rover.

Andrew was arrested earlier today on suspicion of sending confidential British trade reports to Jeffrey Epstein back in 2010 ... allegedly revealed in Epstein Files documents amid his longtime friendship with the convicted pedophile.

It looks like Andrew is trying to lie down in the back seat of the Range Rover to avoid being seen by a horde of press that was camped out at the police station ... but a photog got the money shot.

Former Prince Andrew is under arrest by police in England in relation to documents revealed in the Epstein Files ... which detail his longtime friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced ex-royal -- who now goes by his name Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor -- was apprehended by Thames Valley Police officers on suspicion of misconduct in public office at his home today, on his 66th birthday. The arrest comes a couple weeks after an anti-royal organization asked authorities to investigate whether Andrew shared confidential British financial info with Epstein in 2010.

The police department issued a press release, saying a man in his 60s was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and that officers are currently searching two addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk, which are located in the eastern part of England. A conviction carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the United Kingdom.

The release noted police "will not be naming the arrested man, as per national guidance" ... in response to direct queries about the former prince.

Prince Andrew’s fall from grace just hit a new low ... because neither King Charles III nor Buckingham Palace got a heads-up before cops swooped in and arrested him today.

BBC News reports the bust went down without any warning given to the King or any palace insiders -- the disgraced ex-royal was cuffed Thursday morning in England in connection with explosive revelations from the Epstein Files ... he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly sending confidential British trade reports to Epstein back in 2010.

Once Charles got wind of the drama, he wasted no time distancing himself -- releasing a statement making it crystal clear he fully backs the police probe into Andrew’s alleged ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor -- formerly known as Prince Andrew -- was arrested Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office ... and the alleged emails he shared with Jeffrey Epstein may have played a major role in the police investigation.

While allegations of sexual assault have plagued Andrew for years, the latest Epstein Files drop stirred up new suspicions of a completely different nature as well ... the former Duke of York is now accused of using his role as Britain's special envoy for international trade to share confidential information with Epstein.

According to reports, one email sent in November 2010 appears to show Andrew telling Epstein they have "some interesting things to discuss and plot."

It was back to regularly scheduled programming for King Charles III after former Prince Andrew's Thursday arrest ... his Royal Highness was snapped at London Fashion Week.

Charles took in British-Nigerian designer Tolu Coker's show, sitting front row as models glided down the catwalk.

While he ignored questions about his brother at the event, Charles issued a statement earlier fully supporting the police.

Queen Camilla didn't waste time shedding any tears over former Prince Andrew on Thursday ... she was snapped carrying on with royal affairs just hours after her brother-in-law's arrest.

We got shots of Her Majesty leaving London's Sinfonia Smith Square Hall, where she is a patron.

According to People, she met with musicians and watched a concert during her royal visit. The Queen was reportedly asked about Andrew, but declined to comment.

King Charles III is weighing in on the arrest of his brother, formerly known as Prince Andrew, saying he fully supports the police investigation into Andrew's alleged wrongdoing in connection with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

As the world knows, Andrew was arrested Thursday by British cops at his home in England on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The ex-royal has been under tremendous scrutiny due to his longtime association with Epstein, who died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.

King Charles has now issued a public statement, sharing that he's deeply concerned after learning of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest. 

Charles then said there will be a "full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities."

The family of the late Virginia Giuffre -- who publicly accused convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and former Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, and died by suicide last year -- is applauding the Andrew's arrest Thursday.

Her brother Sky Roberts and sister-in-law Amanda Roberts told NBC News the arrest feels like a "surreal moment" and a "piece of justice" that Giuffre has been fighting for.

Her siblings told CBS News in a separate statement... "At last, today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty."

The younger brother of King Charles III was arrested over suspicions of misconduct in public office after being accused of sharing confidential information with Epstein while working for the British government in 2010.

Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal title over his creepy connection to Jeffrey Epstein -- and now we're getting an up-close and personal look at Andrew's strange interaction with a woman under his body.

Check out these photos of Andrew crouched over a fully clothed woman lying on a floor inside a room. In two photos, Andrew is staring down at the woman with his hand placed on her tummy. In another, he's leaning over the woman while staring directly into the camera. The woman's face is redacted, so we can't tell who she is or if she's in distress.

The 3 pics were released Friday by the Department of Justice as part of the latest rollout of Epstein files, with 3.5 million documents related to the late convicted pedophile becoming instantly available. Some of the world's biggest names surfaced in the new batch of docs, namely President Trump, Elon Musk and Bill Clinton -- although there are no proven incidents of wrongdoing. The British Royal Family was also mentioned.

Prince Harry’s legal battle against a powerful British tabloid publisher is heating up -- with the Duke of Sussex returning to court to take them on over allegations of unlawful information-gathering ... along with a host of A-listers.

Harry arrived at London’s High Court on Monday looking confident in a black suit … acknowledging a few spectators as he headed inside.

Elton John and actors Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost join Harry as part of the group, claiming Associated Newspapers Limited -- the publisher of the Daily Mail -- hired private investigators to place listening devices in homes and cars and record private calls. There are also claims of ANL engaging in impersonation and deception to access personal info.
