10 MINUTES AGO! DARKNESS FALLS OVER BUCKINGHAM PALACE

The clock struck 10:08 p.m. when chaos erupted at the Palace gates. A royal car screeched to a halt, its headlights slicing through the cold night air. The door flew open and Princess Beatrice stumbled out — eyes red, hair disheveled, breath shaking as if she had run the entire way from Windsor.

Witnesses nearby froze. They had never seen her like this.

“Something’s wrong,” one guard whispered. “Terribly wrong.”

Beatrice didn’t acknowledge anyone. She clutched her phone in a trembling hand, her entire body shaking so violently that two footmen rushed to support her. Without a word, she pushed through the hallway toward the private royal wing, tears streaking down her cheeks.

Inside, Princess Anne was already waiting.

Moments earlier, she had received a call so alarming that she ordered an immediate emergency meeting — no advisors, no press, no delays. The tension in her face told the full story: whatever news Beatrice carried was catastrophic.

Beatrice burst into the room.

“Bea,” Anne said urgently, stepping forward, “What’s happened? Where is your father?”

But Beatrice could barely breathe. She pressed both hands to her chest, choking on sobs that tore through her like lightning. Her phone slipped from her fingers and clattered onto the floor.

Then came the scream.

A raw, shaking, agonizing cry that echoed through the marble corridors and sent guards sprinting toward the room.

“MY FATHER… OH GOD… MY FATHER—!”

The words shattered as they left her lips, swallowed by a sob so violent she nearly collapsed. Anne caught her, holding her tightly, demanding clarity — but Beatrice could only shake her head, repeating fragments through gasps:

“He—he didn’t answer—
They said—
Oh God, Aunt Anne—
It’s worse than we thought—
Dad… Dad has—”

Her voice dissolved again, breaking under the weight of whatever she had learned.

Outside, the Palace windows glowed white as senior royals hurried in, their footsteps echoing like thunder. The gates were quietly locked. Reporters were pushed back. Staff whispered in dread.

Something devastating had happened.

And Beatrice’s scream — that raw, trembling cry — told the world more than any official statement ever could:

Prince Andrew’s fate had taken a terrifying turn.
