It's the week in review on Palace Intrigue, and the range was extraordinary even by royal standards. Catherine made her first overseas solo working trip since cancer treatment, arriving in Italy for a two-day visit focused on early childhood development — a return Deep Crown called "load-bearing" for the institution. On the same day she left, Meghan relaunched her As Ever brand, updated her Instagram, released Disneyland family photos, and wore what appeared to be her wedding reception gown in a promotional video. Tom Sykes identified a marketing funnel. Deep Crown raised an eyebrow. Andrew Lownie's updated biography linked Sarah Ferguson to Sean Combs; Ferguson denied everything. Andrew was charged at by a balaclava-wearing man near Sandringham, will likely remain in the line of succession another year, and learned of Eugenie's pregnancy via Sarah rather than his daughter. Kris Jenner thanked Meghan for candles. Rod Stewart told the King he'd put "that little ratbag" in his place. A hearing dog dug up the palace lawn to universal approval. And Meghan is reportedly furious about an SNL joke. Harry, meanwhile, is said to be mostly at home with the children.

It's the week in review on Palace Intrigue, and the King came home to nothing but applause. From Front Royal's clog dancers and Thin Mints to a standing ovation in Congress and a submarine joke that is still generating column inches, Charles's US state visit closed out as one of the defining moments of his reign — with abdication talk evaporating and a whisky tariff removed almost as a bonus. Back in California, Archie turned seven without a photograph, a ninety-dollar candle bearing his birthdate launched anyway, and reports emerged of friction between Harry and Meghan over money, commercialisation, and the general direction of their lives. The OneOff fashion platform controversy refused to die. Tom Bower said the marriage will survive because Harry is lonely and Meghan needs the label. Princess Eugenie announced her third pregnancy. The Wales puppy was officially named Otto. Kate declined the Met Gala. William's Tatler portrait gave him significantly more hair than he actually has. Andrew's Sunday tea tactic with the Queen was revealed. Camilla drinks full-sugar Coke. And Queen Elizabeth used to dance to ABBA while getting dressed.

This episode has a little bit of everything: claims that King Charles has disliked cats since childhood, the strict no-one-touches-my-Aston-Martin rule, and new questions about media control during his years as Prince of Wales.

It's the week in review on Palace Intrigue, and what a week it was. King Charles addressed Congress, made a submarine joke at a White House state dinner, delivered honey to a Harlem farmer, and left Washington having said nothing quotable, offended no one, and received approximately a dozen standing ovations — mission, by all accounts, accomplished. Queen Camilla delivered a replacement toy kangaroo to the New York Public Library and warned an audience her voice might not last the speech. The gifts included a Second World War bell, Resolute Desk plans, Tiffany teaspoons, and White House honey.

King Charles' U.S. trip enters a more complex phase as the New York leg delivers a mix of diplomacy, distance, and spectacle. According to reporting in The Guardian, the King moved from the high of his Washington reception to a cooler political tone in New York, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani declined a private meeting, saying he would instead attend a public wreath-laying ceremony. Mamdani also raised the long-running debate over the Koh-i-Noor diamond, noting, “If I was to speak to the king separately from that, I would probably encourage him to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond.”Despite the tension, the King continued his engagements, visiting the National September 11 Memorial & Museum alongside Michael Bloomberg, where he honoured victims of the 2001 attacks with a wreath and a handwritten message of solidarity.The tone shifted again at the King's Trust Global Gala, with Vanity Fair describing a room filled with high-profile figures including Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful, and Lionel Richie. The King praised the charity's mission, while Enninful reflected on its impact, saying, “I had cousins, friends in our neighborhood who were really told they couldn't amount to nothing. I watched the Kings Trust firsthand change their lives.”Elsewhere, the King visited Harlem Grown, where he was given a handwritten note by a student, responding, “That's fantastic,” before gifting honey from Highgrove House. He later attended a business reception at Rockefeller Center, bringing together senior industry figures.Queen Camilla's programme leaned into culture and literacy. At the New York Public Library, she delivered a symbolic gift marking 100 years of Winnie-the-Pooh, reuniting a recreated Roo with the original characters. In an interview with Jenna Bush Hager, she described the visit as “wonderful,” adding, “It's been wonderful, and everybody's been very kind and welcoming.”Earlier, following their farewell with Donald Trump, the King and Queen travelled to Arlington National Cemetery, where they took part in a formal ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, echoing Queen Elizabeth the Second's visit in 1957.The trip closes with a contrast that has defined it: ceremonial warmth, political distance, and a monarchy still capable of commanding attention—even in New York.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.
