That's right, Eddie, and this new deal is being sold
as a royal trade off of sorts. After weeks of
mounting speculation and criticism over whether Prince Andrew would be
evicted Royal Lodge, it seems he's ultimately found a way out,
but on his terms. As widely splashed across at British
tabloids today, this new deal would see Prince Andrew leave
(01:11):
that thirty room sprawling mansion in Windsor in exchange for
two smaller cottages. Now the first Frogmore Cottage, which is
the former abode of Harry and Meghan, would be earmarked
for Andrew himself. Meanwhile, Adelaide Cottage, which is the current
home of Prince William and Kate, who are due to
pack up there in the next month, that would be
handed over to Andrew's ex wife, Sarah Ferguson. Now the pair,
(01:35):
as we know, have been publicly divorced for some time,
but they've actually remained living together at Royal Lodge, paying
that peppercorn rent, which has raised some serious eyebrows in
recent weeks. The Palace is choosing to stay silent on
all of this, refusing to comment on Andrew's next moves
or his fate in Windsor. But this is certainly the

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
