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

Kylie Kelce has apologized to Catherine, Princess of Wales, after learning that calling her “Princess Kate” was not the correct form of address. Kylie had previously invited Catherine onto her Not Gonna Lie podcast to talk field hockey, children and family life. She now says she wants to address the Princess respectfully, although there is no indication Catherine herself complained or requested an apology.

Catherine has also revealed a few decidedly normal problems behind royal life: she regularly forgets her handbag, is apparently notorious for losing her phone and enjoys washing the dishes at home while Prince William dries.

William, meanwhile, generated some unexpectedly enthusiastic social-media commentary after photographs showed him climbing over a barbed-wire fence during a visit to Wales. One admirer congratulated whoever is responsible for his gym routine. William was actually there to discuss flooding and help a charity working to plant one million native trees across South Wales.
The Prince of Wales also encountered a man who remembered buying a CD from William at a childhood bric-a-brac sale and sent a moving video message honoring the late Dame Deborah James and her legacy of “rebellious hope.”

Plus, one tabloid claims Harry and Meghan were unhappy about William and Catherine appearing with Tom Cruise at the Digger premiere, while Piers Morgan says there is little chance of William and Harry working together anytime soon.

Questions this episode answers: Why did Kylie Kelce apologize to Kate Middleton? Is it correct to call Catherine “Princess Kate”? Did Kylie Kelce invite the Princess of Wales onto her podcast? Does Kate Middleton really lose her phone and handbag? What household chore does Catherine enjoy? Why did photographs of Prince William climbing a fence go viral? What did William say about Dame Deborah James? Are Harry and Meghan upset about William and Kate’s friendship with Tom Cruise? And will Prince William and Prince Harry reconcile?

Meghan Markle is bringing Montecito to Christmas with a $148 As Ever advent calendar created with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés. The limited-edition calendar contains twenty-four chocolates inspired by the Sussex family’s California garden, while Meghan teased more holiday products with a new kitchen photograph featuring roughly $66,000 worth of jewelry. Naturally, social media found plenty to discuss, including whether the stove in the promotional photograph was actually turned on.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan have been photographed holding hands on their way to a Cotswolds pub lunch, their first photographs out together since the family returned to Britain. The couple reportedly enjoyed fish and chips and pie at the Falkland Arms, although royal correspondent Tom Sykes questions whether the seemingly candid photographs were really accidental. The Sun says the photographer simply stumbled upon them.

There’s also a bizarre mystery involving a copy of Meghan’s children’s book The Bench offered on eBay for almost £20,000. The book contains an apparent personal inscription to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, but neither the signature nor the claim that the copy belonged to Eugenie has been authenticated.

Prince Harry has also spoken candidly about losing part of his identity when he left the Army. But another Harry appearance is receiving less flattering attention, with royal biographer Robert Jobson calling his recent Birmingham school visit “a mess” and saying students appeared distinctly unimpressed.

Questions this episode answers: How much is Meghan Markle’s As Ever advent calendar? What is inside Meghan’s Christmas calendar? Why is Meghan’s new promotional photo being mocked? Were Harry and Meghan’s Cotswolds pub photos staged? What did Harry and Meghan eat at the Falkland Arms? Is Princess Eugenie’s copy of The Bench really being sold on eBay? What did Prince Harry say about leaving the Army? And why is Harry’s Birmingham school visit being criticized?

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?
