Royal temper on Windsor road

The Duke of York reportedly lost his temper over speed bumps outside his Windsor home, prompting fresh royal coverage.

Prince Andrew vents anger at road works near Royal Lodge

Prince Andrew was reported to confront road workers during a ride around the Royal Lodge estate after speed bumps were installed near the gate. A source cited by The Sun described the moment as the duke’s anger flaring as he passed the work area. The incident comes with the palace not commenting on the episode.

The story arrives as a new book about the royal family, The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York by Andrew Lownie, is set to hit shelves, bringing more allegations about finances, staff treatment, and family dynamics into public view. Buckingham Palace has not responded to claims circulating online after serialized excerpts appeared in media outlets.

This episode shows how a local road change can become national chatter when it involves a royal figure who has stepped back from official duties. It underscores how private moments are interpreted through a public lens, especially when a high-profile book is poised to amplify scrutiny. The timing highlights a media environment hungry for royal drama, even when the facts on the ground are limited to a single incident and a reported quote. The broader pattern suggests that the York narrative remains a magnet for headlines, regardless of official status. It also raises questions about how PR strategies cope with a steady trickle of sensational content.
