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

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is taking his fight over the Jeffrey Epstein investigation to the High Court, asking judges to determine whether police had lawful warrants to search his homes. His lawyers have been given permission to challenge warrants covering his Sandringham residence and former home at Royal Lodge, with a private hearing expected to consider whether documents connected to the case should be released. Police say their investigation continues.
Meanwhile, one tabloid claims Andrew is privately enjoying the criticism King Charles is receiving following publication of Charles Spencer’s Princess Diana memoir. Another report alleges Queen Camilla has been spending time at Ray Mill House as Charles remains consumed by the controversy surrounding the book. Both stories rely on unnamed sources. 

Charles Spencer himself is escalating his criticism of the monarchy. Diana’s brother claims the Royal Family can “galvanize sections of the U.K. media to take vengeance” against people who challenge it, comparing the response to Swan Song: Diana, My Sister with the backlash he experienced after his famous speech at Diana’s funeral.

Plus, Nigel Farage jokes that Meghan Markle might be sent back to America if he became prime minister before offering a much harsher assessment of Harry and Meghan. And commentator Carole Malone speculates that Meghan is attempting to create a professional identity increasingly separate from Harry, although the couple were recently photographed holding hands during a Cotswolds pub outing. 

Questions this episode answers: Why is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor challenging police search warrants? What is the latest development in the investigation into Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein? Is Andrew enjoying King Charles’s problems? Are King Charles and Queen Camilla having marital problems? What has Charles Spencer accused the Royal Family of doing to its critics? What did Nigel Farage say about Meghan Markle? Is Meghan trying to establish a career separate from Prince Harry? And are Harry and Meghan having relationship problems?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly want peace talks with Prince William and Catherine, but the latest claims suggest William has little interest in a reunion. Heat reports that the Sussexes believe the controversy surrounding Charles Spencer’s Princess Diana memoir creates an opportunity for a “productive and healing conversation,” while a separate Closer Weekly source claims William doubts Harry and Meghan will even remain in Britain for another six months.
Meanwhile, brand expert Nick Ede says Meghan’s path to rebuilding her profile in Britain depends on establishing an identity separate from Catherine rather than competing for the same glamorous moments. The comments follow William and Catherine’s appearance alongside Tom Cruise and members of the Beckham family at the Digger premiere.

Royal commentators Tom Sykes and Robert Jobson have also compared the star power surrounding William and Catherine with Harry’s Invictus Spirit Awards, where James Corden served as host. Jobson interpreted Harry’s warm interactions with guests and journalists as part of an effort to rebuild goodwill following his return to Britain.

Plus, could Prince Harry have become a hot chocolate critic? A new report revisits Harry’s abandoned Spotify podcast development, including the alleged idea “Harry and His Hot Chocolates,” which would have involved Harry traveling around America sampling and rating hot chocolate. Other concepts were considerably more serious, including proposed conversations with figures such as Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin about their childhoods and formative experiences.

And Harry reportedly plans to commemorate Remembrance Day privately this year rather than risk drawing attention away from the national ceremonies and the Royal Family.

Questions this episode answers: Do Harry and Meghan want peace talks with William and Kate? Does Prince William want to reconcile with Prince Harry? Does William think Harry and Meghan will stay in Britain? Is Meghan competing with Kate? What was “Harry and His Hot Chocolates”? Why did Prince Harry never launch his own Spotify podcast? Did Harry really want to interview Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin? What were Harry’s abandoned podcast ideas? And what will Prince Harry do for Remembrance Day this year?

King Charles is reportedly frustrated by the latest round of complaints surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. An unnamed source claims the King wants Harry and his children in Britain but is increasingly concerned about leaks, demands and continuing friction between the Sussexes and the Palace. The source also claims Prince William has been urging his father to take a tougher approach.
Meanwhile, Daily Mail columnist Richard Eden argues that Charles should follow the example of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe and remove Harry and Meghan’s royal titles, pointing to Margrethe’s decision to change the titles of Prince Joachim’s children.
Another report claims Meghan is trying to establish relationships with royals outside William and Catherine’s immediate circle as she builds a new life in Britain. Former Archewell president Mandana Dayani, meanwhile, has spoken positively about Harry and Meghan and says she considered their decision to leave royal life courageous.
There’s also local chatter about Meghan’s security arrangements in the Cotswolds, along with reports that she has become a regular at reformer Pilates classes at Soho Farmhouse.

Plus, King Charles and Queen Camilla are preparing to visit the Bahamas, where reparations campaigners are demanding an apology over Britain’s historic links to slavery. And a separate report examines the King’s famously specific travel routines and claims those arrangements have become increasingly important during his cancer treatment.

Questions this episode answers: Is King Charles frustrated with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? Does Charles want Harry back in Britain? Is Prince William pushing King Charles to take a tougher line with Harry? Could Harry and Meghan lose their royal titles? Why is Meghan reportedly building relationships with other members of the Royal Family? What has former Archewell president Mandana Dayani said about the Sussexes? Why are Bahamas reparations campaigners demanding an apology from King Charles? And what are King Charles’s unusual travel requirements?

A WHITE VAN AT THE SCHOOL GATE: THE SUSSEX SECURITY ROW STOPS BEING THEORETICAL, WHILE EVERYONE ELSE FIGHTS ABOUT 1997

Two men with backpacks spent hours watching a school in England attended by Harry and Meghan's children before leaving in a rented white van; police are investigating, and the Sussexes' spokesman called it extraordinarily reckless. Weeks after critics dismissed the family's security fears as a victim narrative, the fear has a number plate. Mark Francis on what that means for RAVEC — and on how the Sussexes keep undercutting their own privacy case. Plus Charles Spencer's book tour and the one correction that cost him, Diana's 1991 tapes resurfacing, Sarah Ferguson's reported memoir, Amazon circling Invictus, and a King on dry form.

Buckingham Palace’s massive renovation is uncovering pieces of hidden royal history. Workers have discovered decades-old football pools coupons, boots, cigarette packaging, newspaper pages and even a ticket to a Palace staff card night from 1949, offering a rare glimpse at everyday life behind the scenes of the monarchy.
Meanwhile, who will inherit Princess Diana’s childhood home? Althorp is expected to pass to Diana’s nephew Louis Spencer rather than Prince William, Prince Harry or Louis’s older sisters, continuing the Spencer family’s traditional inheritance practices. The Spencer tiara worn by Diana at her wedding is also expected to remain with that side of the family.

We also explain the surprising reason Norway’s King Haakon has a place in the British line of succession and why his son actually ranks ahead of his older daughter on the British list even though the order is reversed in Norway.

Plus, Princess Anne makes the case for preserving Britain’s endangered Suffolk horses, and Princess Charlotte’s interest in cricket coincides with plans for improvements to the cricket ground at King Charles’s Sandringham estate.

Questions this episode answers: What has been found underneath Buckingham Palace? Who will inherit Princess Diana’s Althorp estate? Will Prince William or Prince Harry inherit Diana’s childhood home? Who gets the Spencer tiara? Why is Norway’s King Haakon in the British line of succession? Why does Prince Sverre Magnus rank ahead of Princess Ingrid Alexandra in Britain? What horses does Princess Anne keep? And does Princess Charlotte play cricket?
