Prince Harry has returned to the UK to challenge a court decision over his security arrangements in his home country. The Duke of Sussex has appeared at the High Court in London, appealing last year's ruling the Home Office fairly gave him different levels of taxpayer-funded protection. The 40-year-old's legal team has questioned the way the decision, taken in early-2020 after Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals, was made. UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Andrew Dickens the Duke didn't give evidence, and the hearing's outcome will be revealed at a later date.

The Pope's condition is said to be improving, but there's uncertainty over an upcoming royal visit. The 88-year-old has been in hospital for more than a month with double pneumonia, but the Vatican is now saying he's making slight improvements. King Charles and Queen Camilla are due to visit for the jubilee celebrations of the Catholic Church, early next month. But Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Ryan Bridge it's uncertain whether the Pope will be able to meet the royals. She says the Vatican is refusing to confirm the meeting, or whether he will be out of hospital by then. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the British Royals decide to junk a (literally) bloody tradition, it give you hope. The DC firings—in inimitable the words of Tina Turner, “We can do this nice and easy….or we can do this nice and rough.” That college you or your kids didn't get into?

Dimity Clancey and Natalie Clancy discuss what it's like to cover a story on the Royal Family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Check out zipOns from befree Adaptive Clothing here! This week we'll take a look at the 6 Hanoverian monarchs: George I, George II, George III, George IV, William IV, and Victoria. We'll examine how George I, a German, came to be king of Great Britain and Ireland despite being only 57th in line for the throne and how German monarchs continued to rule the country for the next 187 years and beyond. What mark did the Hanover dynasty leave on Britain? How does it still effect them today? I think you'll be surprised to learn just how German Britain actually is!

Send us a textBefore the U.S. entered WWII, the British Royal Air Force sent prospective pilots to the U.S. for training because they didn't have the capacity to train the numbers they needed for the fight, and America's women pilots helped train them. New York Times and USA Today Best-Selling author Lorraine Heath explores this fascinating niche of our history in her novel The Girls of Flight City, the December 2024 Aviatrix Book Club discussion book. Lorraine was inspired by a story she read in 1991 about a woman in Terrell, Texas who tended the British Cemetery, and filed the idea away as she pursued an award-winning writing career spanning the past 30 years, publishing over 60 Romance novels and books for young adults, before returning to this story that not only piqued her curiosity, but tugged at her emotional connections to her British mother who lived through WWII in the UK, and her Texan father who graduated from high school in Terrel. Over 2,000 RAF cadets trained at the Terrell Aviation School, just one of seven British Flying Training Schools in the U.S. at the time. Did you know you can support your local independent bookshop and me by shopping through my Bookshop.org affiliate links on my website?

Prince Andrew seems to be standing on increasingly thin ice. The UK has upheld a ban of an alleged Chinese spy who formed an "unusual degree of trust" with Prince Andrew. The British Home Office banned the man on national security grounds in March 2023, believing the relationship could be used for political interference. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he keeps getting himself into trouble. He thinks it's inevitable that King Charles will cut his brother out of royal proceedings altogether. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The King and Queen will be packing in a lot during a trip down under next month as they head to Australia and Samoa.  A New Zealand stop was cancelled on doctor's advice, following the King revealing his cancer diagnosis in February.  Australian correspondent Kieran Gilbert told Mike Hosking many of the couple's appearances will reflect their personal interests.   He says they will meet community leaders, volunteers, and pioneers in cancer research.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Princess of Wales has announced she's completed chemotherapy, calling it a relief.   In a personal video released by Kensington Palace, Catherine says her focus is on staying cancer free, and she has a long path ahead to full recovery.   She also says she'll undertake more public engagements in the coming months.   UK correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking the video has gone down well.   He says Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has wished her all the best and is glad she's through her chemo, and all people would likely think the same.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*We are back! Subscribe to our YouTube channel, 'Keeping Up With The Windsors' to watch us live each week talking about the British Royal Family.  M+R Xoxo   Hi Royal Community, Well, whilst we take a break from weekly uploading, we have listened and decided to release those archived episodes that you have been asking for.  So, over the coming weeks, we will be re-releasing these episodes to keep you entertained. We hope you enjoy!   But....with re-released episodes comes caveats.... *Remember our opinions, beliefs and feelings may have changed on the subject since this originally aired.  **The information could have been updated, social handles and/or Royal titles changed, and our dearly beloved Queen Elizabeth II may possibly still have been alive when this was recorded so please note the time difference.  ***Episode 21 was recorded on the 29th July 2021 and first uploaded on the 31st July 2021.   As always please leave us a comment, email us or head to Instagram and get involved there.                                          ........................................... In today's Royal Round-up What do the British Royal family do for their summer holidays? Who is invited to Balmoral? What do the Royal family do in Balmoral? The Royal Socilas show their support for Team GB at the Tokyo Olympic Games and for the upcoming Commonwealth games Lady Kitty Spencer's wedding has sparked controversy, but why? And, what do we think of the HBO Max new satire comedy based on Prince George?   

It is the exhausted end of a jam-packed month of May, and we're staring into what promises to be a similarly jam-packed June. It's overwhelming to think about it all, but exciting to discuss some of the biggest stories of the last few weeks. That's right, it's time again for our monthly roundup, this month hosted by Artnet's national art critic Ben Davis, senior editor Kate Brown, and European news editor Margaret Carrigan. Based in Berlin, Germany, Kate recently visited the Marianna Simnett show at the Hamburger Bahnhof museum, which was commissioned to coincide with the 2024 European Football Championship, being hosted by Germany. Maggie, though based in London, traveled to New York for the Art Business Conference and took in Stanley Whitney's retrospective at the Buffalo AKG, where she suggests visitors pay a visit to Albert Bierstadt's The Marina Piccola, Capri, which was gifted to the institution by the artist himself in 1863. Finally, Ben recommends the project "Means of Production" organized by Lunch Hour, which brings together the work of 75 New York-based artists in a former hosiery factory in Red Hook, Brooklyn. First up on this edition is what may be the biggest story of recent weeks and maybe even all of recent auction history, that is the hack of Christie's website that spanned the all-important week of sales in New York, which continues on, and now features a countdown clock threatening to leak valuable client data. Next, the trio discusses a dispute between the artist Maurizio Cattelan and Anthony James over who owns the right to a specific art idea, which in this case is shooting a gun at a metal panel and presenting  it as a painting. And finally, we'll talk about the public's overwhelmingly critical outrage over recent portraits of British Royals, specifically King Charles and Princess Kate Middleton. Although they are the most recent instances, there is in fact a long history of unpopular royal portraits.

We claim we don't like elites, but we eagerly follow every ridiculous and pompous movement of the British Royals. (They're now upset about a Nigerian trip that Harry and Megan took where they were treated too much like a state visit!) We belong to air clubs, hotel clubs. We have Amex green, gold, platinum, and black cards. Hertz has a platinum service. On our recent trip to LA, we arrived and departed though Amex suites. Once upon a time, elite offerings were only open to invited, important guests. Then a court case opened them to all, with the wonderful result that we can watch people clip their toenails in a Delta lounge. (No, I am not making that up. Nor am I making up the woman who changed a filthy diaper on a first class United seat.) So since lawyers of course sued to open private clubs intended for the top guests, people struggle for other elite experiences. This happens at beach resorts, in school, on the job, and when traveling. (There's a rigid “culture” among people who commute by train every day, and apparently on the few times I'm on such a train I break every tribal law.) Why is this? It's because we struggle for independence. As much as we collect ourselves for mutual protection, influence, and sustenance, we need vacations to get away, special treatment to separate us out, offers to elevate our status. As much as we hear “no man is an island” or “it takes a village” or “we're really pack animals” I wonder. It seems at times, not infrequently, that others' breath is poisonous to us.

What's the point of the publicly funded British Royal family in the modern world? Andrew Gold puts the monarchy under a microscope on this Skeptical Sunday! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: The British monarchy is a centuries-old institution that has had a significant impact on the UK's culture, politics, and history. While the monarch's role is largely ceremonial, the royal family still holds influence and plays a significant part in British society. The British Royal Family receives public funding through the Sovereign Grant, which is calculated as a percentage of the profits made by the Crown Estate. The Sovereign Grant covers official expenses, while the monarch also has personal income from private estates. The monarchy faces challenges in maintaining its relevance in an increasingly democratic and progressive world. The royal family must balance tradition with adapting to changing societal values and expectations. The popularity of individual members of the royal family, such as Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince Harry, can significantly impact public perception of the monarchy as a whole. Despite the controversies and challenges surrounding the British monarchy, it remains an integral part of the nation's identity and continues to captivate people worldwide. By focusing on their roles as symbols of unity, continuity, and tradition, while also embracing positive change and engaging in meaningful charitable work, the royal family can maintain its relevance and contribute to the well-being of the British people and the global community.

After a life-altering spirit visitation, I left a career in PR to follow my intuition in creating a platform and community for those who also want to live their true life path.

Episode 2480 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Zöe Harcombe and they discuss calling out researchers for skewing the numbers for breast cancer screening, HPV, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/04/skewing-the-numbers-dr-zoe-harcombe-episode-2480 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Skewing the Numbers Dr. Harcome addresses health and wellness claims and debunks them when necessary. (3:00) One of the more recent articles was centered around red meat causing T2 diabetes. Another article claims intermittent fasting will cause cardiac death. (4:15) She shares a recent experience at a conference and addresses intermittent fasting. (7:00) She points out the details and explains how information was gathered. The headline is based on 31 people; however, the starting numbers of the study were significantly higher. This means that the entire study only used 1.5% of the information gathered. The report is then based on skewing the numbers. The next headline has to do with breast cancer screening. (27:00) There are very specific instances where highly extensive treatment may not have been necessary for some women. (33:00) The problem with this is that chemotherapy is toxic as well. Things like having the BRCA1 gene are not included in this, and shouldn't be; that is a different circumstance. HPV discussion: What is the current information about HPV? (39:00) Back to the breast cancer screening, Dr. Harcombe shares more information. (45:00) She shares how she personally approaches screening. They chat a bit about Princess Kate of the British Royal family and her recent hospital stay. (55:00) Belly Reduction Dr. Harcombe touches on a report about kimchi. (1:00:00 ) The claim says it can reduce "beer belly," but the standards of obesity are much different in Korea than they are in the West. A "beer belly" in Korea is a 32" waist. You also need to see who funds the studies—as usual, follow the money. Also, places like Harvard push an agenda; funding doesn't happen unless your study follows the agenda. (1:05:00) The system creates the narrative. (1:06:00) Dr. Harcombe shares what it takes to get research published; it's difficult, especially since her studies tend to go against the narrative.

Rebel Wilson, in her memoir "Rebel Rising," has made a shocking claim that a member of the British Royal family invited her to a drug-fuelled orgy at the home of a US tech billionaire in 2014. Although she did not name the minor royal in question, Wilson provided details about the party and the events that transpired.According to Wilson, she received a last-minute invitation to the party from a man who is "like fifteenth or twentieth in line to the British throne." The party, which had a medieval theme, took place at a rented ranch just outside Los Angeles. Wilson described the scene, saying, "Men were jousting on horses in a field, girls dressed as mermaids were in the pool ... The property was massive, and because it was quite a drive, people had been assigned rooms to sleep there overnight."As the night progressed, Wilson recalled, "I watch the British royal flounder around whilst I continuously hike up my boobs ... There's a huge private fireworks display and then all of a sudden it's 2am and a guy comes out with a large tray piled with what looks like a ton of candy." When she inquired about the "candy," the man holding the tray informed her that it was actually "molly [MDMA]," and another person explained that it was for the orgy that typically starts around that time at such events.Wilson realized that the comment made by the Windsor about needing more girls made more sense in this context. She wrote, "They weren't talking about a boy-girl ratio like it was a year-eight disco. They were talking about an ORGY!" Upon this realization, Wilson said, "Needless to say, I hike up my damsel dress and run out of there as fast as I can."It has been revealed that Meghan Markle's new podcast will not be launching until 2025, as the TV Cooking Show Host has had to put her audio projects on hold to focus on her latest Netflix series, which will cover topics such as "cooking, gardening and friendship."After her twenty five million dollar Spotify deal for 12 episodes was terminated following the controversial Archetypes podcast, Meghan entered into an agreement with US network Lemonada Media. However, producers at her new company have decided to delay the podcast's release to avoid "scheduling conflicts."The launch of Meghan Markle's new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has been hindered by an Instagram copycat account selling "anti-monarchy" products. The account, @shopamericanrivieraorchard, has used the Duchess of Sussex's name and claims to be based in Montecito.The copycat account has already garnered over 6,000 followers and is using Meghan's brand name to sell a small range of products with an anti-monarchy message. These products include a planner titled "RoyalWealth Reign: Empowering Women's Financial Sovereignty" and a booklet of colouring pages.The homepage of the copycat account features a message referencing American Independence Day, July 4, 1776, and rejecting royal titles such as Prince, Princess, and Duchess. The message reads, "In America, we do not recognize a royal title by someone's name. In America, we believe ALL are created EQUAL. A royal title therefore has no significance. That is why the RoyalWealth Reign™ line was established to recognize and celebrate the working class who are the true heart of our country."

Sean Combs, AKA “Puff Daddy”, “P. Diddy” and “Brother Love”, is credited with the development of several big-name hip-hop artists including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, and Usher. But Diddy's own music career is just as impressive, with 11 number-one singles, 14 nominations, and three Grammy awards. In addition to Combs' label, Bad Boy Records, the rap mogul co-founded the network Revolt TV and hosts several businesses under the umbrella company Combs Global. At Forbes' last estimate, Combs had a net worth of roughly $1 billion.   On Monday, large teams of law enforcement led by Homeland Security Investigators raided 3 homes belonging to Sean “Diddy” Combs in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation stemming from accusations leveled against Combs in 5 separate lawsuits brought against him. The latest suit filed in February by music producer Rodney ‘Lil-Rod' Jones details frequent drug use, a shooting, and several accounts of sexual assault while working with Combs on “The Love Album.”   In the 73-page document, Jones claims that Combs forced him to solicit sex workers and perform sex acts with them as Combs' looked on. Jones also alleges the rapper threw parties he called ‘Freak Offs', during which underage girls and sex workers were given laced drinks and assaulted. Combs' son Justin, producer Stevie J, and associate Brendon Paul, allegedly supplied the women and drugs for the parties. The suit goes on to say that Combs' access to major celebrities, athletes, and even British Royals, such as Prince Harry, gave him and his followers “legitimacy.”   Two of Combs' sons, Justin and King Combs, are seen outside in handcuffs while investigators carry evidence out of Combs' $35 million Los Angeles mansion. The two men were later released and seen gathering belongings before leaving the residence. Combs was in the Miami area during the raid and was stopped at Opa Locka airport with family members and friends. Feds seized Combs' phone while a member of his party was arrested on unrelated drug charges. The rapper's current whereabouts are unknown.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Neama Rahmani– Former Federal Prosecutor, Legal Commentator, and President of West Coast Trial Lawyers; Author: “Harvard to Hashtag;” INSTAGRAM: @Neamarahmani, X: @NeamaRahmani  Dr. John Delatorre –  Licensed Psychologist and Mediator (specializing in forensic psychology); Psychological Consultant to Project Absentis: a nonprofit organization that searches for missing persons; X, IG, and TikTok – @drjohndelatorre Shannon Henry  -  President & Founder of SASS Go (Surviving Assault Standing Strong: a nonprofit on a mission to eradicate abuse, trafficking and violence against women and girls globally) Case Consultant, and Adjunct Professor at the University of South Carolina in the Department of Education; @sassgoglobal on FB, Instagram, X, and TikTok Barry Golden– Former Senior Inspector for the U.S. Marshals Service, Owner of Golden Consulting and Investigations Kayla Brantley – Reporter, DailyMail.com; X: @_KaylaBrantley, Instagram: @KaylaBrantley  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why did Adolf Hitler's deputy and trusted confidante fly alone to an isolatedcorner of Scotland at the height of World War Two?Was it the act of a madman? Was it to conclude a secretly negotiatedpeace deal with some of the most senior members of the Britisharistocracy and - potentially - the royal family itself? Wasit to help senior conservatives launch a coup against Churchill? Orwas it all the result of a clever British intelligence plot?

The British Royal Family and the intelligence community are two of the most mysterious and mythologized actors of the British State. From the reign of Queen Victoria to the present, they shared a complicated relationship, with some monarchs working hand-in-glove with their spies, while others detesting them. Nevertheless, successive queens and kings have all played an active role in steering British intelligence, sometimes against the wishes of prime ministers. Even today, the monarch receives “copy No. 1” of every intelligence report.Today's guests are Richard J. Aldrich and Rory Cormac, authors of “Crown, Cloak, and Dagger: The British Monarchy and Secret Intelligence from Victoria to Elizabeth II.” We explore attempted assassinations and kidnappings, the abdication crisis, world wars and the Cold War, and the death of Princess Diana, all within the complex interconnection of the British Monarchy and its spy corps.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement

The British royal family and UK intelligence operations have been linked since Queen Victoria's time, involving everything from personal protection to matters of international intrigue to concerns about blackmail. Professor and author Rory Cormac, who has conducted extensive research on the British intelligence services, has recently added to his corpus of writings in the field with a book about the modern royal-intelligence intersection: Crown, Cloak, and Dagger, co-authored with Richard Aldrich.David Priess and Rory discussed the difference in US and UK education about the royal family; intelligence foundations during the reign of the first Elizabeth; why it fell apart under her successor; the seeds of modern intelligence under Victoria; the involvement of UK intelligence officers in the death of Grigori Rasputin; the challenges and advances involving intelligence and Edward VII, George V, and Edward VIII; the contributions of George VI to the Allies' massive D-Day deception operations; Elizabeth II's reading of intelligence reports; Soviet spy Anthony Blunt's close relationship with the royal family; Elizabeth's role as a diplomatic "helper;" the exposures of Charles III and Prince Willliam to intelligence; why Clement Attlee was an underappreciated prime minister; and more.Among the works mentioned in this episode:The book Crown, Cloak, and Dagger by Richard J.

On today's episode of Hear Me Out… royal pains. The British Royals are far from the imperial power they once were. Whether you love the institution, hate it, or simply don't care, it's hard to deny that it feels like an artifact of another time. Which is perhaps why Meghan Markle's arrival on the scene – and subsequent departure, with Prince Harry at her side – threw so many people for a loop. Meghan continues to receive racist, sexist, and downright fabricated harassment from the public, and particularly the tabloids… and so do the people who defend her.  Kristen Meinzer, culture critic and host of The Daily Fail, joins us again to explain why we need to care about Meghan — and defend her.
