  • Another Archewell Exit as Questions Grow Over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Charity Operation

    Another Archewell Exit as Questions Grow Over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Charity Operation
    Jan 2 2026
    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have confirmed another senior departure from their charitable organisation, with longtime adviser James Holt stepping back from his day-to-day role at Archewell.In statements published by People, Holt and the Sussexes praised their years of collaboration, with Holt citing family reasons for returning to London. However, sources speaking to Page Six claim the foundation has been dramatically scaled back, with staff numbers reportedly reduced by more than eighty percent and Archewell Philanthropies described as “essentially shuttered.”The development follows a string of recent exits and renewed scrutiny of the Sussexes’ working environment. Commentators and former aides have pointed to repeated staff turnover, while PR experts argue that the coming year may require Meghan to redefine her public identity with greater focus and consistency.We also revisit claims that Prince Harry’s deep mistrust of the media dates back to the earliest days of his relationship with Meghan, following their first public appearance together at the 2017 Invictus Games.

    Royal Superfans, Pub Plaques and a Pivotal Year Ahead for the Monarchy
    Jan 1 2026
    Prince William made a personal gesture during the Sandringham Christmas walk by greeting a familiar royal superfan and introducing him to his children, as crowds gathered for the traditional festivities. The moment was also acknowledged by King Charles, who recognised the man’s ever-growing badge collection.

    The episode also revisits lighter royal moments, including Prince William’s modest shopping habits, a Windsor pub installing a commemorative plaque after a royal visit, and Kate enjoying a low-key theatre outing with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in Norfolk.Looking ahead, two thousand and twenty six is shaping up to be a significant year for the Royal Family, with health milestones, Prince George’s transition to secondary school, possible overseas travel and growing expectations around the next generation.

    We also turn briefly to Norway, where the upcoming trial of Marius Borg Høiby is expected to place renewed scrutiny on Europe’s royal households, as senior members of the Norwegian Royal Family speak publicly about the strain of the case.

  • War of Words After Sussex PR Exit as Tensions Spill Into Public View

    War of Words After Sussex PR Exit as Tensions Spill Into Public View
    Dec 31 2025
    The departure of Meredith Maines, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s chief communications officer, has sparked sharply conflicting accounts from sources close to the Sussexes. Some describe her tenure as deeply troubled, while others insist she stayed on to manage key transitions at Archewell after being urged to remain.Commentators and former aides allege a culture of instability behind the scenes, with claims of constant reversals, late-night edits and staff being frozen out after negative press. Media figures suggest Meghan may be placing blame for unfavourable coverage on her publicists, as insiders describe the role as “miserable and impossible.”

    Elsewhere, Meghan’s estrangement from her father, Thomas Markle, has taken another unusual turn, with reports that a recent letter was delivered via official channels and witnessed by legal counsel. Thomas has since spoken publicly about his recovery following surgery.

    We also note fresh sightings of Prince Andrew using a new Land Rover Defender at Royal Lodge, reportedly part of a wider vehicle arrangement with the Royal Family.

  • King Charles Softens on Andrew but reportedly annoyed that William Is Quietly Prepping for the Throne

    King Charles Softens on Andrew but reportedly annoyed that William Is Quietly Prepping for the Throne
    Dec 30 2025
    King Charles is reportedly rethinking how harshly he sidelined his brother, Prince Andrew, as new details emerge about life behind the gates at Royal Lodge. According to palace insiders, Andrew lost staff, access to Windsor kitchens and even basic freedoms before the King quietly softened his stance and resumed regular contact.

    Meanwhile, Andrew faces fresh reputational damage after another release of Epstein-related documents, with BBC analysis warning that Andrew’s long-running scandal may still have further depths to reach.

    We also look at growing reports that King Charles the Third is uneasy with the intense focus on succession, and why some commentators believe the monarchy has become an unavoidable public soap opera.

  • Netflix Draws the Line With Director Meghan as Press Staff Exits, Bad Reviews and Royal Pushback Pile Up

    Netflix Draws the Line With Director Meghan as Press Staff Exits, Bad Reviews and Royal Pushback Pile Up
    Dec 29 2025
    Fresh reports suggest tensions are growing between Meghan Markle and Netflix, with insiders claiming the streamer has firmly blocked her from moving into a directing role on upcoming projects. Sources allege Meghan pushed aggressively for creative control, prompting what one insider described as a blunt refusal.

    The scrutiny continues as Archewell Productions faces criticism over new projects, including a romantic comedy adaptation and a documentary, both accused by commentators of blurring the line between storytelling and personal grievance. Meanwhile, the New York Post has named With Love, Meghan among the worst television shows of the year, branding it “bland nothingness.”

    Behind the scenes, communications chief Meredith Maines has exited after less than a year, becoming the latest in a long line of Sussex PR departures. Reports suggest the role will not be replaced, fueling further questions about instability inside the operation.
    Back in Britain, claims are circulating that Princess Anne is quietly working with Prince William and Queen Camilla to block any reconciliation with Meghan, while tensions at home are said to be rising after Prince Harry took a solo ski trip to Aspen.

    And finally, Meghan’s lifestyle ambitions are now facing open satire, with a pilot-run parody brand in California finding global success selling tongue-in-cheek products inspired by life in Montecito.

    ANDREW'S TEDDY BEAR MELTDOWN: KATE 'SILENT ASSASSIN' AS FBI DEMANDS ANSWERS - The week in Royal news with Mark Francis
    Dec 28 2025
    Palace Intrigue delivers the most disturbing year-end revelations as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor suffers complete mental breakdown, treating teddy bears as real companions and insisting "the move from Royal Lodge will be difficult for them because it's their home too." Insiders expose Andrew "projecting his own feelings onto them like a child would" in what palace sources call a "truly pitiable state." But Andrew's rage targets Princess Kate as his "silent assassin," with sources revealing he's "completely fixated on Kate" and blames her for "whipping William into a frenzy" to force him out.

    Andrew believes Kate is "poisoning the well" and "vowing to get back at her" for deliberately freezing him out. Explosive FBI revelations expose agents demanding answers about Andrew's relationship with SECOND millionaire sex offender Peter Nygard—now serving 11 years for sexual assault.

    Plus, newly released Epstein emails show someone identified as "A" writing from Balmoral asking Ghislaine Maxwell for "inappropriate friends." Year in numbers: Andrew mentioned 1,271 times. Plus, rumors of Harry/Meghan Diana documentary for 30th anniversary to salvage Netflix deal.

  • Royal Christmas Walk Recap: Beatrice and Eugenie Step Forward as Louis Steals the Show

    Royal Christmas Walk Recap: Beatrice and Eugenie Step Forward as Louis Steals the Show
    Dec 28 2025
    The Royal Family marked Christmas Day with the traditional church walk at Sandringham, as King Charles the Third and Queen Camilla were joined by Prince William, Catherine and their children at St Mary Magdalene Church in Norfolk.

    Princesses Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie made a notable appearance alongside senior royals, a move some observers see as quietly testing public reaction. The Wales children greeted crowds, with Prince Louis providing the day’s lightest moment by proudly claiming a giant chocolate gift during the walkabout.

    Across the Atlantic, Meghan shared a glimpse of a low-key family Christmas in a holiday message, while the contrast between Sandringham tradition and California calm underlined just how divided the modern royal Christmas has become.

  • Prince Harry Diana Documentary Rumors, Andrew’s Survival Deal, and Princess Anne dethroned!

    Prince Harry Diana Documentary Rumors, Andrew’s Survival Deal, and Princess Anne dethroned!
    Dec 27 2025
    Reports suggest Prince Harry and Meghan could be considering a Diana-focused documentary for 2027, with industry sources questioning whether such a project is being dangled to sustain their Netflix relationship. Royal Insider Deep Crown reacts sharply to the idea, warning it would deepen family divisions and further damage any hope of reconciliation.

    We also look at claims that both Harry and Meghan are increasingly troubled by their children’s lack of relationships with their grandfathers, alongside renewed confusion after Harry was introduced as “Harry Wales” at a polo event — an error his team insists was not requested.

    There are also reports that Prince William wants Harry cut out of future inheritances in order to protect the institution, while Andrew is said to have accepted a tightly controlled financial arrangement with the Palace that limits how he appears in public. Further claims suggest King Charles may still have one final leverage point to force Andrew out of Royal Lodge.

    We round out the episode with new figures showing King Charles has overtaken Princess Anne as the most active royal by engagement count in 2025, and a lighter note as Zara and Mike Tindall prepare for another high-profile Australian trip tied to the Magic Millions festival.
