  Could Meghan Markle become the voice of Princess Diana’s story? Radar Online claims Prince Harry wants Meghan to take a central role in a possible film marking thirty years since his mother’s death, with an unnamed production source claiming Meghan could provide the voice guiding viewers through Diana’s story. Other unnamed sources predict Prince William would see the project as crossing a serious line.But William may have a Diana tribute available to him that Harry cannot match.

  Meghan Markle’s As Ever holiday collection has arrived with some eye-catching prices. The Pantry Basket costs $259, the Parlour Basket is $242 and the Hostess Basket comes in at $211. Meghan celebrated the launch with a personal Instagram montage tracing her entrepreneurial streak from selling homemade scrunchies and Girl Scout cookies as a child to building As Ever, with appearances from Harry and Lilibet along the way.Not everyone was impressed. Critics attacked the post as self-congratulatory, while royal commentator Tom Sykes questioned the continued use of Montecito and family imagery following the Sussexes’ reported return to Britain. Sykes argues Meghan is “selling a life she doesn’t actually live in” and presenting a “fantasy perfect domestic life” to market her products.So why haven’t we seen much of Meghan since the family returned? An unnamed HeatWorld source claims it is deliberate, saying Meghan has been advised that being less accessible could generate greater interest when she eventually begins making more public appearances.Meanwhile, King Charles teamed up with Sir Elton John at an Apple and King’s Trust music workshop in London, meeting young people hoping to build careers in the creative industries.And finally, welcome to the Royal Family WhatsApp group.

  After years of public warfare, Charles and Diana's divorce is finalized. Diana is stripped of her "Her Royal Highness" title—a humiliation that wounds her deeply.

  Is Meghan Markle already homesick for California? A report claims Meghan wants regular trips back to the United States during the Sussex family’s extended stay in Britain and hopes to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in California. Harry, however, reportedly wants the family to remain in Britain until at least the spring, potentially creating some difficult decisions over where Archie and Lilibet will spend the holidays. The couple are also reportedly keeping their Montecito estate rather than selling or renting it.At the same time, another report claims Prince Harry’s calls to King Charles are not being put through, with an unnamed source alleging that the King and Prince William are frustrated by Harry’s continuing battle over security.Meghan’s attempt to rebuild her public profile in Britain is also under scrutiny. PR specialist Nick Ede, who says he was once a friend of Meghan’s, argues that public perceptions will be her biggest obstacle and says the two eventually went their separate ways. Another report claims Meghan has been leaning on Ellen DeGeneres as she adjusts to life in Britain, while Radar Online says Meghan is considering expanding her lifestyle interests into a British yoga and wellness business.Lauren Silverman, Simon Cowell’s wife, has also revealed that she spoke with Meghan about charity work and protecting children online, although no joint project has been announced.And could Meghan and Harry’s wedding tiara controversy be heading for the big screen? A film about Queen Elizabeth’s longtime dresser Angela Kelly is reportedly in development, potentially reviving Harry’s account of the dispute over Meghan’s wedding tiara. One commentator claims there may be another incident from that period the Sussexes would rather not see dramatized.Plus, tabloid sources claim Harry is aggressively pursuing new opportunities for both himself and Meghan while the couple increasingly “divide and conquer” professionally.Questions this episode answers: Is Meghan Markle homesick for California?

  Meghan Markle Tops Royal Power Rankings as Charles Faces Reparations Pressure and Palace Rat Problem 09.10.2026 9m

  Who is the most powerful person in the Royal Family right now? Royal Insider Deep Crown has released its October power rankings, putting Meghan Markle at number one, Prince Harry second and Charles Spencer third. Prince William comes in fourth, Princess Diana’s enduring influence earns her fifth place, while King Charles lands in sixth. Catherine, Princess of Wales, is eighth. The rankings measure influence rather than royal status, with Meghan taking the top spot because of her perceived influence over Harry and the Sussexes’ future.Meanwhile, King Charles is preparing for a Caribbean tour beginning in the Bahamas on October 27 amid renewed calls for an apology and reparations over Britain’s role in slavery. Buckingham Palace says the visit will acknowledge the “darkest days of our past,” but maintains that formal apologies and reparations are matters for the British Government.Back at Buckingham Palace, there is a less diplomatic problem: rats. A new documentary looks at the Palace pest-control team’s annual battle against rodents and revisits the story of a rat reportedly appearing near Barack and Michelle Obama’s accommodations during a royal visit. According to the story, President Obama had one request: don’t tell Michelle.Plus, Tom Parker Bowles reveals Queen Camilla’s rules for roast chicken and praises his mother’s scrambled eggs, while a tabloid claims Lady Louise Windsor and boyfriend Felix da Silva-Clamp are discussing marriage, children and buying a home. Princess Anne reveals her wonderfully efficient method for ending a dinner party, and we revisit Princess Diana’s 1985 White House dance with Clint Eastwood, which Radar Online has given a far more dramatic headline than the evidence supports. Questions this episode answers: Why is Meghan Markle number one in the latest royal power rankings? Where do Prince Harry, Prince William, Kate Middleton and King Charles rank? Will King Charles apologize for slavery during his Caribbean tour? Will Britain pay reparations? Does Buckingham Palace really have a rat problem? Was a rat spotted while Barack and Michelle Obama stayed at Buckingham Palace? Is Lady Louise Windsor getting serious with Felix da Silva-Clamp? How does Princess Anne get dinner guests to leave? And did Princess Diana have a romance with Clint Eastwood?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

  Harry & Meghan Reportedly Ready to Apologize for Oprah Interview as King Charles Meeting Looms 08.10.2026 7m

  Could Harry and Meghan finally apologize for their explosive Oprah Winfrey interview? The Express, citing an unnamed source, claims the Sussexes now regret taking their grievances with the Royal Family public and want a private meeting where Meghan could apologize for comments made during the 2021 interview, including her account of conversations about Archie’s skin color.Another report claims Harry and Meghan have secured a meeting with King Charles before Christmas. Sources quoted by Rob Shuter say the couple have been placed in the King’s diary, but Harry’s attempts to reach William have reportedly gone unanswered. According to one source, “Charles is willing to move forward. William is not.”Meanwhile, a tabloid claims Princess Eugenie is siding with William and Catherine rather than Harry and Meghan. The story revolves around the mysterious online appearance of a copy of Meghan’s The Bench apparently inscribed to Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank for more than $26,000. Neither the inscription nor the claim about its ownership has been authenticated.Questions also continue over Harry and Meghan’s picturesque Cotswolds pub photographs. Royal commentator Josh Rom rejected the more extreme conspiracy theories but acknowledged that modern paparazzi photography can involve tip-offs, saying the outing appeared “very much self-contained.”Plus, Prince Edward visited George Washington’s Mount Vernon and sampled some American whiskey, Sophie recalled the terrifying moment she kept Queen Elizabeth waiting because she couldn’t find her seat at a state banquet, and we hear the story of a young Prince William receiving a royal telling-off from his grandmother after disappearing from a riding party at Balmoral.Questions this episode answers: Are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle going to apologize for the Oprah interview? Does Meghan regret what she said about Archie’s skin color? Are Harry and Meghan meeting King Charles before Christmas? Is King Charles willing to reconcile with the Sussexes? Why isn’t Prince William responding to Harry? Has Princess Eugenie chosen William and Kate over Harry and Meghan? Were Harry and Meghan’s pub photos staged? Why did Sophie keep Queen Elizabeth waiting at a state banquet? And why did Queen Elizabeth once tell off Prince William at Balmoral?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

  It’s Meghan Markle versus Buckingham Palace in the Christmas advent calendar wars. The Royal Collection Trust is selling a chocolate calendar for twelve pounds, while Meghan’s sold-out As Ever calendar was priced at $148. Meghan’s version features her Montecito home, hand-painted gold details and specialty chocolates, while the Palace version offers twenty-four chocolates behind scenes of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Holyroodhouse.A promotional photograph for Meghan’s calendar also sparked a bizarre online debate over whether she appeared to have six fingers. The explanation is considerably less exciting: HELLO! reports it was an optical illusion caused by overlapping fingers.Meghan is already expanding the As Ever Christmas collection with a hostess basket, playing cards and new Ginger Lemon, Lavender Honey and Hibiscus Rose chocolate bars. Critics have compared the new products with the King’s Highgrove range, accusing Meghan of moving her California lifestyle brand into familiar royal territory.Meanwhile, journalist Daisy McAndrew says a Cotswolds village WhatsApp group has been “alive and buzzing with complaints” involving Meghan, although she acknowledges that some of the stories are fourth- or fifth-hand. The complaints reportedly involve special treatment and security arrangements around Soho Farmhouse.Plus, reports claim Amazon’s interest in sponsoring Invictus could potentially lead to other projects involving Prince Harry, while two British clergymen reportedly received abusive messages after criticizing the price of Meghan’s advent calendar.Questions this episode answers: How much does Meghan Markle’s As Ever advent calendar cost? How much is Buckingham Palace’s advent calendar? What is inside Meghan’s Christmas calendar? Did Meghan appear to have six fingers in an As Ever photo? Is Meghan copying King Charles’s Highgrove products? What is in Meghan’s new Holiday Collection? Why are Cotswolds residents reportedly complaining about Meghan?

  King Charles Cuts Off Andrew’s Legal Cash as High-Stakes Court Fight Begins 07.10.2026 8m

  Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s court battle over police searches is escalating, and King Charles reportedly wants no part in paying for it. The Telegraph reports that Charles has made clear that the private allowance he provides his brother must not be used to fund Andrew’s challenge to search warrants covering his Norfolk residence and former home at Royal Lodge. Legal experts suggest the case could cost hundreds of thousands. Thames Valley Police is asking the High Court to restrict access to some documents because of its continuing criminal investigation. Andrew is seeking to overturn the warrants and is challenging both their lawfulness and, according to the Telegraph, how officers executed them. Andrew has strenuously denied wrongdoing and remains under investigation.The case creates yet another headache for King Charles and the Royal Family, with Telegraph columnist Hannah Furness describing the legal action as Andrew’s “last roll of the dice.”Elsewhere, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, visited Eton, although she was there for an international string competition rather than to see her nephew Prince George. PETA is facing a Charity Commission review of a complaint involving its campaigning, including its criticism of William and Catherine after their dog Orla had puppies.Plus, William and Catherine sent Dame Kelly Holmes a personal letter thanking her for speaking about mental health, and Prince William joined Ross Kemp for an emergency-preparedness exercise before attempting to squeeze some Celebrity Traitors spoilers out of him.Questions this episode answers: Why is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor taking the police to court? What search warrants is Andrew challenging? Is King Charles paying Andrew’s legal bills? Could Andrew’s court case cost hundreds of thousands? What happens if Andrew successfully overturns the warrants? Why did Sophie visit Prince George’s school? Why is PETA facing a Charity Commission review?

  Kylie Kelce Apologizes to Princess Catherine as William Gets a Very Thirsty Reaction 07.10.2026 8m

  Kylie Kelce has apologized to Catherine, Princess of Wales, after learning that calling her “Princess Kate” was not the correct form of address. Kylie had previously invited Catherine onto her Not Gonna Lie podcast to talk field hockey, children and family life. She now says she wants to address the Princess respectfully, although there is no indication Catherine herself complained or requested an apology.Catherine has also revealed a few decidedly normal problems behind royal life: she regularly forgets her handbag, is apparently notorious for losing her phone and enjoys washing the dishes at home while Prince William dries.William, meanwhile, generated some unexpectedly enthusiastic social-media commentary after photographs showed him climbing over a barbed-wire fence during a visit to Wales. One admirer congratulated whoever is responsible for his gym routine. William was actually there to discuss flooding and help a charity working to plant one million native trees across South Wales.The Prince of Wales also encountered a man who remembered buying a CD from William at a childhood bric-a-brac sale and sent a moving video message honoring the late Dame Deborah James and her legacy of “rebellious hope.”Plus, one tabloid claims Harry and Meghan were unhappy about William and Catherine appearing with Tom Cruise at the Digger premiere, while Piers Morgan says there is little chance of William and Harry working together anytime soon.Questions this episode answers: Why did Kylie Kelce apologize to Kate Middleton? Is it correct to call Catherine “Princess Kate”? Did Kylie Kelce invite the Princess of Wales onto her podcast? Does Kate Middleton really lose her phone and handbag? What household chore does Catherine enjoy? Why did photographs of Prince William climbing a fence go viral? What did William say about Dame Deborah James? Are Harry and Meghan upset about William and Kate’s friendship with Tom Cruise?

  Meghan’s $148 Christmas Calendar Mocked as Harry’s School Visit Branded a “Mess” 06.10.2026 8m

  Meghan Markle is bringing Montecito to Christmas with a $148 As Ever advent calendar created with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés. The limited-edition calendar contains twenty-four chocolates inspired by the Sussex family’s California garden, while Meghan teased more holiday products with a new kitchen photograph featuring roughly $66,000 worth of jewelry. Naturally, social media found plenty to discuss, including whether the stove in the promotional photograph was actually turned on.Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan have been photographed holding hands on their way to a Cotswolds pub lunch, their first photographs out together since the family returned to Britain. The couple reportedly enjoyed fish and chips and pie at the Falkland Arms, although royal correspondent Tom Sykes questions whether the seemingly candid photographs were really accidental. The Sun says the photographer simply stumbled upon them.There’s also a bizarre mystery involving a copy of Meghan’s children’s book The Bench offered on eBay for almost £20,000. The book contains an apparent personal inscription to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, but neither the signature nor the claim that the copy belonged to Eugenie has been authenticated.Prince Harry has also spoken candidly about losing part of his identity when he left the Army. But another Harry appearance is receiving less flattering attention, with royal biographer Robert Jobson calling his recent Birmingham school visit “a mess” and saying students appeared distinctly unimpressed.Questions this episode answers: How much is Meghan Markle’s As Ever advent calendar? What is inside Meghan’s Christmas calendar? Why is Meghan’s new promotional photo being mocked? Were Harry and Meghan’s Cotswolds pub photos staged? What did Harry and Meghan eat at the Falkland Arms? Is Princess Eugenie’s copy of The Bench really being sold on eBay? What did Prince Harry say about leaving the Army?

  Andrew Challenges Epstein Search Warrants as Charles Spencer Accuses Palace of “Vengeance” 06.10.2026 8m

  Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is taking his fight over the Jeffrey Epstein investigation to the High Court, asking judges to determine whether police had lawful warrants to search his homes. His lawyers have been given permission to challenge warrants covering his Sandringham residence and former home at Royal Lodge, with a private hearing expected to consider whether documents connected to the case should be released. Police say their investigation continues.Meanwhile, one tabloid claims Andrew is privately enjoying the criticism King Charles is receiving following publication of Charles Spencer’s Princess Diana memoir. Another report alleges Queen Camilla has been spending time at Ray Mill House as Charles remains consumed by the controversy surrounding the book. Both stories rely on unnamed sources. Charles Spencer himself is escalating his criticism of the monarchy. Diana’s brother claims the Royal Family can “galvanize sections of the U.K. media to take vengeance” against people who challenge it, comparing the response to Swan Song: Diana, My Sister with the backlash he experienced after his famous speech at Diana’s funeral.Plus, Nigel Farage jokes that Meghan Markle might be sent back to America if he became prime minister before offering a much harsher assessment of Harry and Meghan. And commentator Carole Malone speculates that Meghan is attempting to create a professional identity increasingly separate from Harry, although the couple were recently photographed holding hands during a Cotswolds pub outing. Questions this episode answers: Why is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor challenging police search warrants? What is the latest development in the investigation into Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein? Is Andrew enjoying King Charles’s problems? Are King Charles and Queen Camilla having marital problems? What has Charles Spencer accused the Royal Family of doing to its critics? What did Nigel Farage say about Meghan Markle? Is Meghan trying to establish a career separate from Prince Harry?

  Harry & Meghan Want Peace Talks as William Reportedly Wants Them Gone 05.10.2026 8m

  Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly want peace talks with Prince William and Catherine, but the latest claims suggest William has little interest in a reunion. Heat reports that the Sussexes believe the controversy surrounding Charles Spencer’s Princess Diana memoir creates an opportunity for a “productive and healing conversation,” while a separate Closer Weekly source claims William doubts Harry and Meghan will even remain in Britain for another six months.Meanwhile, brand expert Nick Ede says Meghan’s path to rebuilding her profile in Britain depends on establishing an identity separate from Catherine rather than competing for the same glamorous moments. The comments follow William and Catherine’s appearance alongside Tom Cruise and members of the Beckham family at the Digger premiere.Royal commentators Tom Sykes and Robert Jobson have also compared the star power surrounding William and Catherine with Harry’s Invictus Spirit Awards, where James Corden served as host. Jobson interpreted Harry’s warm interactions with guests and journalists as part of an effort to rebuild goodwill following his return to Britain.Plus, could Prince Harry have become a hot chocolate critic? A new report revisits Harry’s abandoned Spotify podcast development, including the alleged idea “Harry and His Hot Chocolates,” which would have involved Harry traveling around America sampling and rating hot chocolate. Other concepts were considerably more serious, including proposed conversations with figures such as Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin about their childhoods and formative experiences.And Harry reportedly plans to commemorate Remembrance Day privately this year rather than risk drawing attention away from the national ceremonies and the Royal Family.Questions this episode answers: Do Harry and Meghan want peace talks with William and Kate? Does Prince William want to reconcile with Prince Harry? Does William think Harry and Meghan will stay in Britain? Is Meghan competing with Kate? What was “Harry and His Hot Chocolates”? Why did Prince Harry never launch his own Spotify podcast? Did Harry really want to interview Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin? What were Harry’s abandoned podcast ideas?

  King Charles is reportedly frustrated by the latest round of complaints surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. An unnamed source claims the King wants Harry and his children in Britain but is increasingly concerned about leaks, demands and continuing friction between the Sussexes and the Palace. The source also claims Prince William has been urging his father to take a tougher approach.Meanwhile, Daily Mail columnist Richard Eden argues that Charles should follow the example of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe and remove Harry and Meghan’s royal titles, pointing to Margrethe’s decision to change the titles of Prince Joachim’s children.Another report claims Meghan is trying to establish relationships with royals outside William and Catherine’s immediate circle as she builds a new life in Britain. Former Archewell president Mandana Dayani, meanwhile, has spoken positively about Harry and Meghan and says she considered their decision to leave royal life courageous.There’s also local chatter about Meghan’s security arrangements in the Cotswolds, along with reports that she has become a regular at reformer Pilates classes at Soho Farmhouse.Plus, King Charles and Queen Camilla are preparing to visit the Bahamas, where reparations campaigners are demanding an apology over Britain’s historic links to slavery.

  A WHITE VAN AT THE SCHOOL GATE: THE SUSSEX SECURITY ROW STOPS BEING THEORETICAL, WHILE EVERYONE ELSE FIGHTS ABOUT 1997 Two men with backpacks spent hours watching a school in England attended by Harry and Meghan's children before leaving in a rented white van; police are investigating, and the Sussexes' spokesman called it extraordinarily reckless.
