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

It’s a strange day in royal news. King Charles is losing Lieutenant Colonel Jonny Thompson — the famously photogenic senior equerry once declared “exceedingly handsome” by Martha Stewart — as he prepares to leave royal and military service. Prince William gets an equally unusual honor when Robert Irwin names a twelve-foot Australian crocodile after him, while Queen Camilla nearly lands a cameo on Only Murders in the Building. Plus, Harry and Meghan sharply deny reports they’ll attend an upcoming Diana Award dinner, Meghan launches a new As Ever sparkling wine while taking heat over her suspiciously pristine gardening, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor faces a direct accusation from a U.S. congressman as reports suggest he’s enjoying the French Riviera — and may even be shopping for a home there.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly staying indefinitely at a wealthy friend’s property while searching for a permanent British home, with Meghan said to want nine bedrooms and studio space and Harry prioritizing privacy and extensive grounds. Friends describe the move as “Finding Freedom 2” and say Archie and Lilibet’s education and a more outdoors-focused childhood are central to the decision. But reports also claim Harry still expects an apology from the Royal Family and remains angry about the same issues that fueled Megxit. Plus, Meghan could make an early UK appearance at a Princess Diana event, while neighbors in Montecito offer a less-than-sentimental farewell to the Sussexes’ California chapter.
