Palace Intrigue : Kate Middleton - Meghan & Harry - Prince Andrew - Royal Family gossip

Meghan Markle’s Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan has quietly flopped, pulling in roughly two million views in its second season and landing outside the streamer’s top one thousand shows, a drop of more than sixty percent from its debut.

Critics pile on, with a celebrity chef calling the show dull, uninspired and a “complete waste of money,” while reports suggest Meghan is scrambling to salvage the brand with holiday specials. At the same time, the Sussexes are said to be pivoting toward a glossy rom-com movie deal at Netflix, exposing fresh tension at home as Harry reportedly recoils from Hollywood, hates the optics and resents being turned into part of a marketing strategy. Add staff churn, social media backlash and claims Meghan is increasingly featuring the children to drive engagement, and the picture emerging is of a brand chasing attention while the audience steadily drifts away.

Prince Harry returns to the High Court for a fourth straight day, this time sitting in support as Elizabeth Hurley takes the witness stand in the explosive case against the publisher of the Daily Mail. Hurley delivers harrowing testimony, accusing the paper of landline tapping, live surveillance inside her home, stolen medical records and what she calls a “brutal invasion of privacy,” breaking down as she describes the toll on her family. Harry leaves court before lunch, a day after telling judges the Mail made Meghan’s life “an absolute misery,” while the defence argues the claims are unsupported and brought too late. Away from the courtroom, King Charles again keeps his distance despite being just miles away, and newly revealed witness statements show Harry naming William, Kate and his father as part of his account of how private royal communications may have been exposed.

With Harry’s court drama dominating the headlines, William and Kate go on the road in Scotland, trying to look like the future while the past keeps barging in. Kate makes a low-key cultural play with an understated Royal Opera House visit and a simple message: “Thank you to The Royal Ballet for an amazing evening of creative inspiration at Woolf Works this weekend! C.” The Waleses then hit the curling rink, where Kate beats William again, before heading to a community pub where William declares, “I want to help pubs. This is the best place to come and get to know each other,” adding, “I grew up in pubs. I absolutely love pubs,” and calling them “the heart of the community.” They hear about rising costs crushing landlords, Kate receives a crochet bunny for Charlotte, and she jokes, “You need to finish that,” when William leaves his cider behind. The visit is interrupted by a shouted question about Andrew and Epstein, Kensington Palace confirms William’s Saudi Arabia trip in February, and reports swirl that William is furious over talk of a Harry-led Diana project involving Netflix.

Meanwhile Charles stays busy, sips whisky in Edinburgh, jokes, “The terrible thing about it is, the photograph is never the most fetching,” and the Telegraph warns the King’s possible US trip is now tangled up in the Trump-Greenland fallout

Prince Harry arrives at the Royal Courts of Justice to testify in his Daily Mail lawsuit, after a source fires off a defiant pre-court message accusing Associated Newspapers of “game playing and dirty tricks.” On the stand, Harry insists on being addressed as “Prince Harry,” invokes “Never complain, never explain,” and describes a life of “24 hour surveillance” that left him “paranoid beyond belief.” He clashes with ANL’s barrister over alleged sourcing, rejects claims his friends leaked details, and argues the level of reporting could only have come from unlawful methods, including hacked voicemails and private investigators. The day ends with a sharp tonal shift as cross-examination wraps and Harry grows emotional, telling the court: “They continue to come after me. They have made my wife’s life an absolute misery, my lord.”
