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

Prince Harry is reportedly determined to secure another meeting with King Charles, but Meghan Markle may have a very different idea about how the couple should handle their royal relationships.
According to the National Examiner, an unnamed source claims Harry is frustrated by his father's apparent reluctance to arrange another meeting and is prepared to keep calling until he gets an opportunity to explain himself.

The report suggests Harry fears Earl Spencer's recent book about Princess Diana may have damaged his relationship with Charles. Harry reportedly insists he knew nothing about the book before its publication and refuses to distance himself from his mother's family.
Meghan, however, is said to be encouraging Harry to stop chasing reconciliation. The source claims she believes they should move forward without depending on the Royal Family.

Meanwhile, Radar Online claims Princess Eugenie has been keeping her distance from Harry and Meghan as she attempts to protect her relationships with Charles and Prince William. According to the report, Eugenie's reluctance to become involved has complicated Meghan's hopes of using her royal connections to expand As Ever in Britain.

There is also a striking contrast between the royal brothers.

Prince William has been playing cricket outside Buckingham Palace with sporting legends including Joe Root, Ajinkya Rahane and Brian Lara. The event promotes November's Earthshot Prize ceremony in Mumbai, expected to be the organization's largest gathering yet.
And iPaper columnist Richard Palmer argues that Harry could rebuild his popularity by following Princess Diana's example, embracing charitable causes while finding a way to repair his relationship with the British public and press.

Plus, Meghan's latest kitchen photographs are attracting attention for their expensive appliances. Her stainless-steel range resembles a Thermador model costing as much as $19,800, while her copper cookware comes from a luxury brand.

And a new photograph suggests Meghan may be wearing an Oura wellness-tracking ring, similar to one Harry wore during the couple's 2018 Australian tour.

Questions this episode answers: Is Prince Harry desperate for another meeting with King Charles? Why is Charles reportedly avoiding Harry? Has Earl Spencer's Diana book damaged the father-son relationship? Does Meghan want Harry to stop pursuing royal reconciliation? Is Princess Eugenie distancing herself from Meghan Markle? Could Eugenie help Meghan's As Ever business? Why was Prince William playing cricket outside Buckingham Palace? Can Harry rebuild his popularity by following Princess Diana's example? How expensive is Meghan's kitchen? And is Meghan wearing an Oura Ring?

Meghan Markle is reportedly struggling with her return to Britain, with an unnamed source telling New Idea that the Duchess of Sussex is already “desperately homesick” and counting down the days until her next trip to America.

The source claims Meghan misses her mother, her California lifestyle and even her old bed, while Prince Harry is urging her to be patient as the family adjusts to life in Britain.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are returning to Nottingham for their first joint day of public engagements since moving back to the United Kingdom. The visit takes them to the city where they made their first official appearance together after announcing their engagement in 2017.
But not everyone is celebrating their comeback.

Piers Morgan has accused the Sussexes of exploiting their royal titles, while Daily Mail columnist Amanda Platell questions whether their return to Nottingham is a calculated attempt to recapture the public affection they once enjoyed. Royal commentator Richard Berthelsen suggests the couple are attempting to reclaim some of the prestige associated with being working royals.
There is also business news for Meghan. Her As Ever lifestyle brand is preparing to expand into Britain, with tea, candles and limited-edition bookmarks expected to be among the first products available. However, her famous fruit spreads and edible flower sprinkles may have to wait because of import regulations.

The Sussexes are also facing renewed questions about their children's privacy. Meghan has shared another video of Archie and Lilibet walking through the English countryside, even as Harry's previous warnings about posting photographs of children online are attracting fresh attention.
Meanwhile, Closer Weekly claims Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, has offered Harry and Meghan a rent-free home on his Althorp estate.

And Hello's royal editor Emily Nash is questioning what has changed about the Sussexes' security arrangements after Meghan was photographed visiting Malala Yousafzai at Claridge's in central London, despite Harry's earlier concerns about bringing his family to the capital.

Were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle miserable in California before returning to Britain?

Former People editor Dan Wakeford says the Sussexes were “wildly unhappy” with how their lives in America had developed. Speaking on the Daily Beast’s Royalist podcast, Wakeford suggests Harry is happier back in Britain but questions whether Meghan shares that enthusiasm.
He argues that the couple have fundamentally different ambitions, with Harry drawn toward Britain and charitable work while Meghan remains interested in California and building a Hollywood-style lifestyle business. Wakeford says sources still describe the couple as very much in love, but questions whether love alone can resolve their disagreements about the future.

However, a friend of the Sussexes tells the Daily Mail a very different story, insisting Harry and 
Meghan are delighted with their return, happy with their children's schools and optimistic about their security arrangements.

Meanwhile, Heat World claims Meghan believes she can give Catherine, Princess of Wales, “a run for her money” as she rebuilds her public profile in Britain. An unnamed source suggests Meghan intends to begin with carefully selected appearances before gradually increasing her visibility.
The Express is considerably less enthusiastic, with columnist Chris Riches questioning what purpose Harry and Meghan now serve following their return.

And there is more criticism of Meghan’s As Ever business. Journalist Alison Boshoff claims the brand’s holiday hampers are partly an attempt to clear unsold jam inventory, although no sales or inventory figures have been provided to substantiate that claim. Boshoff also questions whether Harry can complete his proposed Princess Diana documentary without cooperation from Diana’s closest friends and relatives.

Finally, William and Catherine are facing criticism of their own. Columnist Daniela Elser questions the couple’s carefully cultivated image as ordinary parents, contrasting Catherine’s comments about enjoying washing up with the Waleses’ access to luxury travel, including a royal helicopter reportedly worth $15 million. Elser argues that the couple’s relatable public image tells only part of the story of their extraordinarily privileged lives.

What do Harry and Meghan’s friends say about their marriage? Does Meghan want to compete with Kate Middleton? Why are critics questioning the Sussexes’ return to Britain? Is Meghan using holiday hampers to sell unsold jam? Could Harry’s Princess Diana documentary fall apart? Does Princess Catherine really enjoy washing dishes? And why is William and Kate’s $15 million helicopter attracting criticism?

Is Harry and Meghan’s return to Britain putting new pressure on their marriage?

Radar Online claims the couple are increasingly living separate professional lives, with Harry pursuing opportunities and attempting to repair relationships with his family while Meghan concentrates on her business and their children. An unnamed source alleges that their conversations are becoming dominated by schedules, business decisions and practical responsibilities, leaving little time for them to reconnect.

Another tabloid claims their recent Cotswolds pub outing was intended to silence speculation about their relationship but has failed to convince critics. These are unverified accounts from unnamed sources, not confirmed evidence of marital difficulties.

Meanwhile, Rob Shuter reports that Meghan was furious after an As Ever promotional photograph sparked online criticism because the stove appeared to be unlit. His source claims Meghan blamed her team for failing to catch the detail and is now struggling to recruit a new UK-based executive assistant.

There are also reports that Harry is encouraging Meghan to tone down her celebrity lifestyle as she adjusts to Britain. Another unnamed source claims Meghan is desperately homesick for California and misses her mother, friends and former routine.

But what about those reports that Harry and Meghan are preparing to apologize to William and Catherine? Royal journalist Tom Sykes dismisses the story as “total rubbish,” while Kinsey Schofield says her sources also reject the claims.

Plus, could Archie and Lilibet make a more prominent appearance on the Sussexes’ Christmas card this year?

And there is fresh speculation about King Charles’s relationship with his grandchildren. Star magazine claims the King is disappointed that he has not spent more time with Archie and Lilibet since their reported return to Britain. Separately, Closer alleges that Earl Spencer’s Diana memoir is creating new tensions between Charles and Queen Camilla.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly have no plans to spend Christmas with King Charles and the Royal Family at Sandringham. Instead, the Sussexes intend to celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, with California a likely destination.

According to The Sunday Times, Harry and Meghan believe a royal Christmas gathering would be too awkward and are not expecting an invitation. The decision comes during their first holiday season since returning to Britain and settling Archie and Lilibet into school.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are preparing for their first joint series of charitable engagements since their return, with a visit to Nottingham scheduled for Thursday. Meghan is expected to reconnect with women from the Hubb Community Kitchen, the group she previously worked with on a charity cookbook.

Harry is also reportedly contributing to a BBC documentary examining race relations in Britain alongside Baroness Doreen Lawrence, whose son Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a racist attack in 1993.

But Meghan's latest London appearance is generating headlines for a different reason: her clothes.
The Duchess of Sussex's oversized trousers and brown coat during her meeting with Malala Yousafzai at Claridge's have prompted comparisons to Star Wars character Obi-Wan Kenobi. Critics on Reddit mocked the outfit, while Telegraph columnist William Sitwell delivered an extended attack on Meghan's fashion choices and her approach to privacy.

Express columnist Carole Malone also questioned whether Meghan's highly photographed meeting with Malala was consistent with her reported desire to maintain a low profile.

Meghan, meanwhile, announced that a day's net proceeds from As Ever jam and tea sales would benefit the Malala Fund, supporting girls' access to education. There are also reports of a possible business collaboration between Meghan and Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, whose proposed Spencer Farms brand could include jam, honey, tea and other products.
Elsewhere, Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Princess Charlotte surprised London commuters by traveling together on the Elizabeth Line. Passengers described the unexpected encounter as surreal.

And William and Catherine made a surprise visit to Belfast, where Kate greeted a family over a video call, joked about losing track of time and spoke with schoolchildren about George, Charlotte and Louis. The couple also visited IKEA Belfast as part of their engagements supporting young people through William's Homewards initiative.    

Questions this episode answers: Are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spending Christmas with King Charles? Why are the Sussexes reportedly avoiding Sandringham? Will Harry and Meghan return to California for the holidays? What are Harry and Meghan doing in Nottingham? Is Prince Harry working on a BBC documentary? Why are people comparing Meghan Markle to Obi-Wan Kenobi? What did the Telegraph say about Meghan's outfit at Claridge's? Is Meghan donating As Ever profits to the Malala Fund?
