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

Is reconciliation between Prince Harry and Prince William now impossible? Royal biographer Christopher Andersen says neither brother believes he has anything to apologize for, while other royal commentators offer sharply different views about who should make the first move.
Some insiders argue William cannot forgive Harry's public criticism of the Royal Family. Others believe William and Kate Middleton should acknowledge Harry and Meghan Markle's grievances and take responsibility for repairing the relationship.

Meanwhile, royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths describes William and Kate as the "Teflon prince and princess of Wales," suggesting their strategy is to ignore the Sussex drama rather than engage with it.
Royal photographer Arthur Edwards recalls a startling incident following Prince Archie's birth in 2019. Edwards says King Charles' press secretary stopped him from showing Charles photographs of his newborn grandson because Charles and Harry were reportedly not speaking.

Questions this episode answers: Will Prince William ever forgive Prince Harry? Does Harry believe he owes William an apology? Why did Charles reportedly refuse to see photographs of baby Archie? What is Kate Middleton's strategy for dealing with the Sussexes? Could King Charles make a state visit to China? How has Charles changed since becoming King?
