Palace Intrigue : King Charles, Meghan Markle and all the Royal Family gossip

A new analysis argues the Royal Family is carrying out far fewer official engagements even as taxpayer funding rises to record levels. We examine the numbers, Norman Baker’s criticism of Prince William’s workload, and the Palace’s argument that modern royal work is about long-term impact rather than ribbon cuttings. Then, former Archewell executive James Holt offers glowing praise for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as he prepares to leave the organization. We also look at fresh tabloid reports claiming Harry is uneasy about Meghan’s renewed friendship with Kris Jenner, and another round of speculation over whether the Sussexes’ increasingly separate professional lives are fueling new rumors about their marriage.

Prince Andrew is back in the headlines as a new edition of Andrew Lownie’s biography presents sharply conflicting portraits of the Duke of York. Friends and former girlfriends describe a thoughtful, loyal man, while former military colleagues recall entitlement and demands for deference.

Plus: the unusual constitutional reason King Charles technically doesn’t need a driver’s licence—and why Queen Camilla still does.

HARRY FACES A REPORTED £60M COSTS BILL AFTER LOSING TO THE DAILY MAIL — AND THE CHANEL CLASS THAT LET THE HIGHGROVE REUNION HAPPEN UNSEEN.

After the High Court dismissed all claims against Associated Newspapers, reports put combined costs above sixty million dollars, with sources describing strain on the Sussexes' finances and on Harry's friendship with Elton John, a fellow claimant.
