Palace Intrigue: Harry, Meghan & the Crown. Royal Family News and Gossip.

PULLED OUT AFTER TWO DAYS: THE SCHOOL RUN THAT COULDN'T BE SECURED, AND RAVEC FINALLY ASKS THE QUESTION

Mark Francis on the week the Sussexes' security problem stopped being abstract. Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, were withdrawn from their Cotswolds prep school after two days. Their team had tested the route over the summer, when the roads were quiet; in term-time traffic, the family car and the protection vehicle got separated. A representative confirmed the move followed discussions with the security team, and stressed there was no issue with the school itself. Meanwhile RAVEC has commissioned fresh risk assessments for both Harry and Meghan — Meghan's first since 2020 — and asked for their schedules and daily routines.

Will King Charles III open Prince Harry’s Invictus Games in Birmingham in 2027? As Commander-in-Chief, could Charles feel obligated to support the military competition despite his latest dispute with Harry and Meghan Markle—and would appearing alongside the Sussexes blur the Palace’s insistence that they remain private citizens?
We also examine a growing religious controversy surrounding the King. Is Charles still “Defender of the Faith,” or is Buckingham Palace redefining him as a monarch who “protects the space for Faith” in a multi-faith Britain? Could Prince William eventually weaken—or eliminate—the sovereign’s traditional connection with the Church of England?

Plus, Ricky Gervais reveals what might persuade him to accept a knighthood; King Charles’s former gardener recalls accidentally swearing after addressing the new monarch incorrectly; and royal biographer Andrew Lownie urges Harry, Meghan, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to surrender their titles.
