Crown and Controversy: Kate Middleton

Princess Catherine could be joining Prince William in India next month for the Earthshot Prize, setting the stage for a major international appearance as the Prince and Princess of Wales increase their public engagements together.

Vanity Fair reports that sources close to the couple expect Catherine to accompany William to Mumbai, although Kensington Palace has not officially confirmed her attendance.
Royal biographer Russell Myers says William and Kate have missed supporting each other publicly during a difficult period marked by family health concerns. Their return to joint appearances could signal a new chapter for the future king and queen.

But is there another reason for their increasingly busy schedule?

An unnamed insider tells Vanity Fair that William and Catherine want their official roles to remain clearly distinct from the activities of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have resumed public appearances since returning to Britain.

Meanwhile, former MP Nadine Dorries argues that Meghan is deliberately competing with Catherine for attention. Dorries points to Meghan's recent appearance with Malala Yousafzai, social media posts featuring Archie and Lilibet, and charity merchandise launches as evidence of a carefully timed publicity campaign.

Royal commentator Deep Crown disagrees with the suggestion that Catherine should fight Meghan for headlines, arguing that the Princess of Wales is better served by continuing her established charitable work rather than entering a celebrity popularity contest.

Away from the royal rivalry, Prince William is having a particularly enjoyable week.
The Prince of Wales celebrated Aston Villa's emphatic six-nil Champions League victory over Fenerbahçe, with photographs showing him jumping to his feet and punching the air.
William also showed off his cricket skills outside Buckingham Palace during an event promoting the Earthshot Prize in India. Cricket legends Brian Lara and Joe Root praised his batting, although both suggested his bowling could use some improvement.

And William demonstrated that even future kings can use a little help taking selfies when a woman outside Buckingham Palace reached over and adjusted his arm to improve their camera angle.
Plus, William delighted fans by copying Aston Villa captain John McGinn's trademark celebration during his cricket appearance, prompting affectionate reactions on social media.

Questions this episode answers: Is Kate Middleton traveling to India with Prince William? Will Catherine attend the Earthshot Prize in Mumbai? Are William and Kate increasing their public appearances to compete with Harry and Meghan? Does Meghan Markle deliberately steal Kate's spotlight? What did Nadine Dorries say about Meghan's publicity campaign? How are William and Catherine responding to the Sussexes' return? Why was Prince William celebrating at Aston Villa? How good is William at cricket? What did Brian Lara and Joe Root say about his batting? And why did a woman correct Prince William's selfie technique?

Crown and Controversy: Kate Middleton

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made their first joint public appearance since returning to Britain, receiving flowers, hugs and an enthusiastic welcome in Nottingham.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the city where they made their first official appearance as an engaged couple in 2017. Nearly nine years later, supporters gathered outside the Community Recording Studio to greet them, with Meghan telling one well-wisher, “It’s great to be back.”
The couple spent the day visiting organizations supporting young people, including the Community Recording Studio, Epic Partners and Himmah Hub. Harry reconnected with people he has supported for years, while Meghan met young women participating in confidence-building activities and reunited with women involved in the charity cookbook she helped produce following the Grenfell Tower fire.
But anyone expecting the Sussexes to resume a full schedule of royal-style engagements may be disappointed.

A source quoted by the Telegraph claims Meghan's public appearances will remain relatively rare and that joint charitable visits like Nottingham could happen only a handful of times each year.
Meanwhile, body language experts are examining every move the couple made. One commentator describes Harry as “besotted” with Meghan and suggests his protective glances show how closely he watches over her during public appearances.

Meghan's fashion choices are also attracting attention. She wore British designers in a coordinated burgundy outfit, with former royal butler Grant Harrold suggesting the look was a deliberate signal that she is committed to her new life in Britain.

And while Harry and Meghan were greeting crowds in Nottingham, King Charles and Queen Camilla were carrying out their own official duties in Cardiff, opening the new session of the Welsh Parliament.

Was the timing a coincidence, or another example of the competing royal calendars?
Questions this episode answers: How were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received in Nottingham? Did crowds cheer Harry and Meghan during their royal comeback? What did Meghan say about returning to Britain? Which charities did the Sussexes visit? Did Meghan reunite with women from the Grenfell cookbook project? Will Harry and Meghan resume regular public engagements? Why does a body language expert describe Harry as besotted with Meghan? What message was Meghan sending with her British designer outfit? And what were King Charles and Queen Camilla doing during the Sussexes' visit?

Crown and Controversy Season 4

Crown and Controversy: Kate Middleton

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor may be preparing for another confrontation with the Royal Family following his recent legal victory over police search warrants.

The Daily Mail reports that some of Andrew's friends are encouraging him to challenge the loss of his royal titles and seek a greater role in family life.

An unnamed source claims Andrew believes he has been unfairly treated and is tired of being made a scapegoat. While he reportedly accepts that his days as a working royal are over, he wants to stop being treated as an outcast.

The report also suggests Andrew resents what he sees as more lenient treatment of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, despite the Sussexes' public criticism of the monarchy.
But Andrew's personal relationships may be deteriorating.

The Times reports that Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are no longer speaking, with an unnamed source claiming Fergie is not welcome at his new home on the Sandringham estate.
Other reports suggest Andrew has resumed socializing with longtime friends, including shooting parties, while speculation continues about a mystery woman allegedly visiting his residence.
Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson is reportedly considering her own future outside the Royal Family.
Tabloid sources claim Fergie has been encouraged by the controversy surrounding Earl Spencer's recent book about Princess Diana and may eventually consider publishing a revealing royal memoir of her own.
Sarah has denied planning a tell-all, but Radar Online claims unnamed sources believe she could wait until after King Charles's death before revealing private family information.
And there is a significant financial development.

King Charles has reportedly lent Andrew approximately $2 million to settle the repair costs associated with his departure from Royal Lodge. The Crown Estate has confirmed that Andrew's lease has ended and that the property will be marketed for future use.

The payment follows reports that Andrew received an early surrender rebate of approximately $400,000, reducing the amount he owed for repairs.

Finally, another reminder of Sarah Ferguson's fall from royal favor has emerged. A plaque commemorating her opening of accommodation for families of children receiving treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital has reportedly been removed, although the reason remains unknown.

Questions this episode answers: Is Andrew Mountbatten Windsor trying to reclaim his royal titles? Could Andrew challenge King Charles's decision in court? Why does Andrew reportedly believe Prince Harry has been treated more favorably? Are Andrew and Sarah Ferguson no longer speaking? Is Fergie banned from Andrew's new home? Does Andrew have a mystery woman in his life? Is Sarah Ferguson planning a royal tell-all book? Could Fergie wait until after King Charles's death to publish her memoir? Why did King Charles reportedly lend Andrew $2 million? What happened to Andrew's Royal Lodge lease? And why was Sarah Ferguson's hospital plaque removed?

THE WEEK THE LAW AND THE CROWD DISAGREED: ANDREW WINS A WARRANT, HARRY HEARS THE BOOS, AND THE MONARCHY GOES BACK TO ABERFAN

A High Court judge quashed the warrants police used to search Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s homes after Thames Valley Police conceded they were obtained under the wrong provision — and in the same breath made clear it ends nothing: the investigation continues and police are applying to keep what they seized. Days earlier, at Welford Road, Harry’s face went up on the big screen at the Leicester–Gloucester match and a section of the crowd booed, as his paid MasterClass on grieving Diana went live. Mark Francis on the gap between a verdict and a reputation. Plus Meghan in London with Malala, the Sussexes back in Nottingham, and three royals travelling to Aberfan sixty years on.
