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

KING CHARLES, EARL SPENCER AND THE FIGHT OVER DIANA: 'GASLIT BY THE KING', A PALACE RULE BROKEN, AND HARRY'S SILENCE

Charles Spencer's memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister landed Tuesday, and Buckingham Palace broke its own rule against commenting on books to answer it — saying the King is mindful that fraternal grief can cloud reason and colour memory. Spencer's reply: it isn't every day you wake up gaslit by the King. Mark Francis unpacks the disputed quotes, why one courtier called it "recollections may vary" on steroids, Piers Morgan's legal action over a checkable error, Harry's conspicuous silence at his own awards, and the split-screen week that put William behind a popcorn till and Kate on a red carpet with Tom Cruise.

Are British fashion brands choosing Princess Catherine over Meghan Markle? An unnamed industry source claims one company stopped plans to send Meghan products because it feared jeopardizing its relationship with Kate. We examine that report alongside claims that Harry and Meghan are absent from Lady Amelia Windsor’s wedding guest list.

Will Kate invite Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to her Christmas carol service? Could family invitations become the next flashpoint between the Waleses and Sussexes—and will Princess Diana’s 30th anniversary deepen the divide between Prince William and Prince Harry?
