Why did Prince Harry leave the Royal Family?It is one of the most searched royal questions in the world, but the answer is far more complicated than a single argument, a single interview, or a single decision.In this special episode, we trace the full story of Prince Harry's departure from royal life, beginning with the death of Princess Diana in 1997 and the lasting impact it had on his relationship with the media, the monarchy, and public life itself.We examine Harry's unique position as the "spare" to Prince William, his military service, the creation of the Invictus Games, and the challenges of building an identity inside an institution designed around the future king. We explore how William's marriage to Catherine and the births of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis gradually changed Harry's place within the Royal Family and raised difficult questions about his long-term role.The episode also looks at Meghan Markle's arrival in royal life, the excitement that surrounded their engagement and wedding, the growing media scrutiny, Harry's belief that history was repeating itself, and the increasing tensions between the Sussexes, Buckingham Palace, and Kensington Palace.We revisit the South Africa interview that shocked royal watchers, the breakdown of the "Fab Four," the Sandringham Summit, and the dramatic events that led to Harry and Meghan stepping back as senior working royals in early 2020.Finally, we examine the years that followed: the Oprah interview, the Netflix documentary, Spare, the ongoing security battle, the fractured relationships with King Charles and Prince William, and the debate that continues to divide royal observers around the world.Was it Meghan Markle? Was it Prince William? Was it the press? Was it the institution itself?The answer is yes — and no.This is the complete story of how Prince Harry's life inside the monarchy collided with the life he wanted outside it, and why one of the most popular members of the Royal Family ultimately chose to walk away.Follow Palace Intrigue for daily coverage of the Royal Family, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Catherine, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and the biggest royal stories from around the world.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. ---- Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened 213 points higher this morning at 40-983. Turnover reached $21.3 billion NT On Tuesday, the market continued to set new closing records. Investors bought shares across different sectors. But gains were limited because Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing entered a period of consolidation. ---- MOFA says Paraguay president's visit shows strong ties The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Paraguay President Santiago Pena will visit Taiwan later this week. The ministry says the visit shows that ties (關係) between Taiwan and Paraguay remain strong, despite pressure from China. Pena will lead a group of business representatives to Taiwan for a four-day visit. He will meet with President Lai Ching-te and other senior officials. Officials say the talks will focus on investment, international cooperation (合作), and ways to strengthen relations between the two sides. The visit comes after reports that Beijing has been pressuring Paraguay to cut ties with Taiwan and recognize China instead. ---- Taipei to launch new anti-rat campaign Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an says the city will launch a new round of sanitation (環境衛生) measures to deal with rat problems. The city will also introduce "rodent control specialists" to help residents. The move comes after many people posted online about seeing more rats in parts of Taipei. Chiang says households will be able to apply for a specialist to visit their home. The specialist will check for signs of rats and give advice on prevention (預防) and control. Officials say the specialists will help find where the rats are coming from, improve home environments, and support better pest control. ---- Trump pauses Project Freedom, citing progress on Iran deal U.S. President Donald Trump says the U.S. is pausing (暫停) Project Freedom. The project has involved the U.S. Navy escorting (護送) ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump wrote on social media that the pause is because of "great progress" on a possible deal with Iran. Nick Harper reports from Washington. ---- Princess of Wales to make first overseas trip since cancer treatment Britain's Princess of Wales will travel to Italy next week. It will be her first official overseas visit since her cancer diagnosis (診斷) and treatment. Kensington Palace says Kate will spend two days in Reggio Emilia in northern Italy. The visit will focus on her work in early childhood development. The trip will highlight the "Reggio Emilia approach." This is an educational idea that focuses on relationships, the learning environment, and the community in a child's development. Kate said in 2024 that she was receiving chemotherapy (化療) for cancer. Last year, she said she was in remission (病情緩解). She has slowly made more public appearances since then. But this will be her first overseas trip without Prince William. Early childhood development is one of Kate's main areas of work. She launched the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood in 2021. ---- That was the I.C.R.T.

In April 2026 via AP: WASHINGTON (AP) — White House economists estimate the United States has a shortage of 10 million houses, according to a new report — and say regulatory cuts could lead to more construction to stabilize prices, increase home ownership and fuel faster economic growth. From a UK think tank: New analysis by the Centre for Policy Studies reveals that the UK has a shortage of 6.5 million homes when compared to similar European countries. Britain has just 446 homes per 1,000 people, the second worst rate in Europe.

Queen Victoria was Empress of India. She was also godmother to the children of the man whose kingdom she helped destroy. Victoria called him “your affectionate friend.”But as Polly Putnam tells me, it was a strange relationship between conqueror and conquered.Polly is the Collections Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, the historian behind Netflix's Bridgerton, and the curator of The Last Princesses of Punjab — her 31st exhibition, and the hardest one she has ever done. She did not want to tell this story from above. She wanted South Asian voices in the room.In this episode, we cover why Sophia sold suffragette newspapers outside Hampton Court, why Bamba had snowballs thrown at her on the way to medical school, why Catherine told a Jewish refugee fleeing the Nazis, “I'll be that person,” why Duleep Singh died with a Bible at his bedside despite taking Sikh initiation, and the revelation that almost everything in this family's London history happened in Kensington, including the birth of the women's suffrage movement itself.

The Last Princesses of Punjab left behind legacies that continue to resonate today, but what impact did these women have and how should we remember them?   In this final episode in our series, we join Curators Dr Mishka Sinha and Polly Putnam, as they chat to researcher and collector Peter Bance, and Dr Nadhra Shahbaz, Associate Professor of the Art and Architecture of Punjab.  What were the sisters' legacies and how can we find meaning in them today?   Read more about the extraordinary life of Catherine Duleep Singh, LGBTQ+ Icon and 'gurantor' for Jewish refugees.  Find out more about The Last Princesses of Punjab and book tickets to our exhibition at Kensington Palace. 

The Talking Royals team are back!

He recalls Queen Elizabeth's distress and concern about the future of her son, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, after he was linked to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.And...Are criticisms of the Sussexes fair? Charlene and Hugo debate whether it's fair to say that Prince Harry and Meghan neglected their duty when they left the royal family. At the time, the couple said they intended to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen." In a statement, the Duchess of Sussex said she was "saddened" by reports that she was rude to staff at Kensington Palace and described it as "attack on her character."And Hugo reveals why the Queen refused to take calls from her grandson, Prince Harry, without anyone else present in the room.And, as hundreds of items from the late Queen's wardrobe go on display in Buckingham Palace, Lizzie explains why Elizabeth's stunning wedding dress might never be seen in public again.And which royal couple will be having a Summer wedding in June?

Prince William's disdain for his uncle, Prince Andrew, has reportedly hardened into something close to open contempt. According to multiple royal insiders, William views Andrew as a permanent stain on the monarchy—a man whose arrogance and scandalous ties to Jeffrey Epstein have dragged the family's reputation through the mud. Sources close to Kensington Palace say William has no interest in rehabilitating Andrew's image or restoring his public role; if anything, he wants him out of sight entirely. Behind closed doors, William is said to have expressed frustration that Andrew continues to live at the Royal Lodge on the public's dime, refusing to vacate even as the rest of the monarchy scrambles to modernize its image. Some reports even suggest William has privately discussed “formal exile” once he ascends to the throne, either by stripping Andrew of remaining titles or banishing him from royal estates altogether.William's approach is said to be strategic—protect the Crown, not the family. He reportedly sees Andrew's continued presence as a ticking PR bomb, undermining years of work to restore the monarchy's credibility after the Epstein disaster. At public events, William avoids being photographed near his uncle and has allegedly issued private warnings to Andrew to stay away from high-profile gatherings. Royal commentators describe the situation as icy and irreparable: William respects the institution, not the man. To him, Andrew represents the rot of unchecked privilege—a royal who mistook immunity for innocence. The unspoken consensus is clear: when William becomes king, Andrew's quiet exile will become official policy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this week's episode of Talking Royals, Charlene, Chris and Lizzie discuss whether Meghan and Harry should have ever been allowed to leave the royal family. And is the Palace now missing that Meghan Markle magic?Charlene, Chris and Lizzie recorded this episode right after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's surprise trip to Jordan made global headlines — including reports that they were “snubbed” by the Jordanian royal family. The British royal family have a famously close relationship with the Jordanian royals, with the Crown Prince and Prince William maintaining a genuine friendship. So in this episode we unpack how Harry and Meghan's humanitarian‑focused visit was received, and whether the timing caused any tension back home.Meanwhile, as the Royal Family continues grappling with the crisis involving Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, our experts explore how the ongoing scandal is impacting royal work, public perception, and discussions around the line of succession.And at the BAFTAs on Sunday night, there was an unexpected hot-mic moment from Prince William. When asked if he'd watched the new Hamnet movie, he was overhead admitting “I'm not in a calm state”. So was the comment a subtle reference to the Andrew situation, or were the newspaper headlines overwritten?Plus, is Kensington Palace's commitment to social media content the most significant change to royal reporting in the past decade?

Daily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers is joined by Jennifer Newton to unpack another sensitive week for the Royal Family. They discuss how both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace released unprecedented statements, responding to the ongoing fallout over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, and the alleged alleged passing of confidential information to the disgraced financier. Public anger was on show in Clitheroe, where the King was heckled during a visit to the Lancashire town. Russell and Jennifer discuss the reaction to the heckler, and how the Royals could handle potential future outbursts. Russell also shares the insights from Prince William's diplomatic trip to Saudi Arabia, and how the Princess of Wales has been using her platform to advocate for children's mental health.

What happened when Prince William decided to speak out on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's connection to Jeffrey Epstein? And did the statement go far enough? Listen as Chris and Lizzie describe how it all unfolded, while they were in Saudi Arabia with Prince William. They talk us through how they found out that Kensington Palace, and Buckingham Palace, decided to end the royal wall of silence, addressing the allegations against the former-Prince Andrew. So what did Buckingham Palace's statement on Andrew say? How does Prince William really feel about his uncle, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor? And what are the police now looking into? A reminder, that ITV News have put the latest allegations to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor who did not respond, and when he was previously approached for a response he strenuously denied all wrongdoing.

When people ask about growing their creative business, the questions typically centre around online marketing: Which platform, how often to post, what's working right now... But what if the answer isn't about marketing at all? This week, while refining modules for the upcoming six-month programme, I've been thinking about what genuinely accelerates business growth for creative entrepreneurs. It's not complicated, but it is something we often avoid, even though we're naturally brilliant at it.   Key Moments: [05:15] Real life right now: what i've been thinking about [07:57] Why we focus on online marketing when strategic outreach grows businesses faster [09:54] How every major client, from Vogue to Dior to Kensington Palace started with an email I sent from my kitchen table [16:21] Why a talk to 12 people created more opportunities than a newsletter sent to 20,000 [18:31] The skills you already use in your creative work that translate directly to strategic business outreach [20:22] What the difference looks like: posting and hoping versus strategic, direct connection [23:04] The shift from reactive to proactive that changes everything   Notable Quotes: "Direct connection accelerates everything. We get so lost in online marketing that it's easy to forget to simply contact people." "Every major client and project I became known for started from my kitchen table.

With Harry's court drama dominating the headlines, William and Kate go on the road in Scotland, trying to look like the future while the past keeps barging in. Kate makes a low-key cultural play with an understated Royal Opera House visit and a simple message: “Thank you to The Royal Ballet for an amazing evening of creative inspiration at Woolf Works this weekend! C.” The Waleses then hit the curling rink, where Kate beats William again, before heading to a community pub where William declares, “I want to help pubs. This is the best place to come and get to know each other,” adding, “I grew up in pubs. I absolutely love pubs,” and calling them “the heart of the community.” They hear about rising costs crushing landlords, Kate receives a crochet bunny for Charlotte, and she jokes, “You need to finish that,” when William leaves his cider behind. The visit is interrupted by a shouted question about Andrew and Epstein, Kensington Palace confirms William's Saudi Arabia trip in February, and reports swirl that William is furious over talk of a Harry-led Diana project involving Netflix.Meanwhile Charles stays busy, sips whisky in Edinburgh, jokes, “The terrible thing about it is, the photograph is never the most fetching,” and the Telegraph warns the King's possible US trip is now tangled up in the Trump-Greenland falloutPalace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Prince Harry has been in the High Court this week in a major privacy case against Associated Newspapers Ltd, the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. Roya reports from court as Harry gives evidence and the paper's lawyers push back on claims of unlawful information gathering. Meanwhile, Kate has been in Scotland with the rest of the royal family, as the working monarchy keeps its distance.

Meghan's As Ever takes a hit after critics claim her luxury candle arrived with no wick — and yes, two different unboxings are now being waved around online like evidence in a very dumb trial. Plus, the “inventory leak” saga continues: huge stock numbers, Reddit sleuthing, and experts arguing over whether big warehouses mean “booming brand” or “uh-oh.” Then the UK return chatter won't quit, with reports tying any Meghan comeback to Harry's security fight — and one columnist basically warns Kensington Palace to start war-gaming the wardrobe.

A disturbing new front in royal harassment: an AI chatbot tied to X is accused of generating sexualised images of the Princess of Wales from real photos, prompting “urgent contact” from UK regulator Ofcom. Meanwhile, the internet does what it does — a short clip of Prince William arriving at Kensington Palace with George and Charlotte ignites baseless “separate lives” speculation, plus a side quest into royal travel protocol and why heirs aren't supposed to fly together.Also: the Waleses get compared to the Beckhams, some people love it, some people hate it, and somehow this becomes a whole thing.

A viral clip from Sandringham has American viewers fixated on an unexpected detail: what appeared to be a Buc-ee's plush toy in the crowd behind Prince William and his children during the Christmas Day church walk. The Texas convenience-store mascot has no UK footprint, making its appearance at a royal moment both baffling and instantly memeable, with speculation over how it ended up so close to the royals.We also revisit claims from Rob Shuter that Prince William objected to King Charles including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie in the Christmas walk, with sources framing the disagreement as a wider clash over judgement and authority.Meanwhile, Kate is being described as an “eternal influencer” after recognition from British Vogue, as commentators point again to the so-called Kate effect on brands.Plus, renewed scrutiny of royal security after an intruder allegedly breached Kensington Palace grounds twice in the days before Christmas and has now pleaded guilty, with former royal protection officials raising questions about why he was able to return.We wrap with honours list headlines including Idris Elba's knighthood and Cynthia Erivo receiving an MBE, a redesigned British passport now bearing King Charles's coat of arms, and a new Amazon Prime Video documentary on the King's environmental work, narrated by Kate Winslet.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

In 1995 a history making interview inside Kensington Palace between the late Princess Diana and ex-BBC reporter Martin Bashir changed the trajectory of the monarchy forever. The Panorama TV interview watched by an estimated 200 million worldwide, became one of the most dissected moments in modern royal history but resulted in an inquiry into how the BBC 'covered up’ the controversial methods Bashir used to secure it. In this episode of The Beefing, Helen Smith unpacks fresh claims made in a new book, Dianarama, and explores why nearly three decades on many still blame Bashir for Diana’s death.

The BBC issues a formal apology after viewers complain that Armistice Day coverage referred to Catherine as “Kate Middleton” instead of the Princess of Wales. At the same time, Kensington Palace sets out her Christmas plans, announcing the fifth Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on the theme of love in all its forms. A new Mother Nature autumn video, recorded at Forest Lodge, highlights Catherine's reflective tone on change, connection and resilience. Deep Crown notes the careful timing of the Abbey concert alongside Meghan Markle's Netflix holiday special, calling the royal calendar “a considered narrative.” Elsewhere, the Prince of Wales opens a new access road for Mousehole AFC in Cornwall, wins praise for his modern media strategy after his Brazil trip, and an old school friend recalls young William once declaring that he wanted to be a policeman, long before everyone else started talking about him as a future king.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

New claims from a source cited by Andrew Lownie allege that Jeffrey Epstein discussed a plan to “take out” Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, as fresh emails released by a United States congressional committee show Epstein calling the former duke “great fun” and referring to him by the codename “The Duke.” Andrew is seen in public for the first time since losing his titles, riding on the Windsor estate while negotiations over his move continue, and reports suggest King Charles has struck a private deal to protect Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's future roles. There are also signs Sarah may seek refuge in Portugal as the fallout spreads. Against this backdrop, Kensington Palace confirms that the Prince and Princess of Wales will lead the family's public front at this year's Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Were the consequences more devastating than anyone imagined? Webb explores the shocking possibility that without that interview, Diana might be alive today, living quietly as a grandmother at 64. We dig into the biggest unanswered questions: - Who was Martin Bashir—and how did he get so close to Diana and Michael Jackson? - How did forged bank statements open the gates of Kensington Palace? - What was Diana told that terrified her into believing people at the highest levels wanted her dead? - Why did she record what was essentially her “last will and testament”? - How did a bodyguard she cared about die only months after their relationship? - What did the BBC know—and when did they know it? - Why did the corporation spend over £1 million of licence fee money to stop Webb's investigations? Andy Webb reveals how Diana felt duped, hoaxed, and frightened, how rumours involving Tiggy Legge-Bourke spiralled out of control, and how the BBC's internal decisions continue to raise questions about accountability, leadership, and the culture that allowed Bashir's behavior to go unchecked. If you want to understand the real story behind the Bashir scandal, the BBC cover-up, and the chain of events that reshaped the Royal Family forever, this is the episode you can't miss. #PrincessDiana #MartinBashir #BBCScandal  Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com  Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates  Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Learn more about your ad choices.

Prince William's disdain for his uncle, Prince Andrew, has reportedly hardened into something close to open contempt. According to multiple royal insiders, William views Andrew as a permanent stain on the monarchy—a man whose arrogance and scandalous ties to Jeffrey Epstein have dragged the family's reputation through the mud. Sources close to Kensington Palace say William has no interest in rehabilitating Andrew's image or restoring his public role; if anything, he wants him out of sight entirely. Behind closed doors, William is said to have expressed frustration that Andrew continues to live at the Royal Lodge on the public's dime, refusing to vacate even as the rest of the monarchy scrambles to modernize its image. Some reports even suggest William has privately discussed “formal exile” once he ascends to the throne, either by stripping Andrew of remaining titles or banishing him from royal estates altogether.William's approach is said to be strategic—protect the Crown, not the family. He reportedly sees Andrew's continued presence as a ticking PR bomb, undermining years of work to restore the monarchy's credibility after the Epstein disaster. At public events, William avoids being photographed near his uncle and has allegedly issued private warnings to Andrew to stay away from high-profile gatherings. Royal commentators describe the situation as icy and irreparable: William respects the institution, not the man. To him, Andrew represents the rot of unchecked privilege—a royal who mistook immunity for innocence. The unspoken consensus is clear: when William becomes king, Andrew's quiet exile will become official policy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This episode kicks off with Tamara returning from her adventures in Europe. Traveling with family in the U.K. started off with a day trip to the Edinburgh Castle including a train ride and so many sheep. Highlights included tea at Kensington Palace and seeing Hades Town. Tamara did manage to give Rheannon some anxiety from the other side of the world when Tamara said she was trying to say hi to a famous person. Although there were no photos for proof, Tamara did make a friend in the process. Having fun travel seeing friends and going to an amusement park, and Tamara was sure to make time for snacks. Although the best meal of the whole trip was a homemade Sunday Roast while in Ireland. Rheannon has a very exciting weekend planned to celebrate her anniversary. She does have to take down part of her new fence, but it is a very exciting house project. Hopefully, it goes smoothly and not down hill fast.
