Podcasts about palace intrigue

A Canadian opinion piece has reportedly hit Meghan Markle harder than any criticism in years. Sources say a column in the Toronto Star questioning her stalled momentum has shaken her confidence, given the city's significance during her seven years filming Suits and the early days of her relationship with Prince Harry.Radar Online also revisits what it describes as Meghan's “year from hell,” citing dwindling opportunities, internal tension, and the reality of starting again with smaller acting roles and lifestyle ventures. Attention is now shifting to 2026, with Meghan promoting a reset through her As Ever brand, hinting at new products, wine releases, and possibly a cookbook, though the origins of that report remain unclear.We also look at claims that Meghan is pursuing a long-term strategy aimed at billionaire-scale success, with insiders comparing her ambitions to the Kardashian business model. Meanwhile, renewed speculation surrounds a potential UK return, as a fresh security review raises questions about whether the Sussexes could travel back to Britain and what that would mean for family dynamics and public reaction.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.

A new profile suggests the Princess of Wales has emerged from cancer treatment with a renewed focus on family life and no appetite for revisiting tensions with the Sussexes. Sources say she and Prince William are concentrating on raising their children, with no contact at all between their household and Harry and Meghan.We also examine reporting that challenges the portrayal of William as the driving force behind Prince Andrew's removal from royal duties, suggesting instead a more conflicted position shaped by concern for his uncle's wellbeing alongside institutional responsibility.The episode looks at the contrasting roles of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, whose limited public presence mirrors the model once sought by Harry and Meghan, and considers whether that distinction continues to fuel resentment.We also cover plans for a possible Scottish bank holiday to mark Scotland's return to the men's World Cup, royal congratulations following darts champion Luke Littler's latest title, and developments in Norway, where increased reporting of abuse has followed renewed attention on the upcoming trial of Marius Borg Høiby.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.

Meghan Markle has been labelled the most disappointing celebrity of 2025 by the Toronto Star, in a critical opinion piece arguing she had the ingredients for global success but “slowly deflated” over the past year. The article is notable given Meghan's long connection to Toronto during her years filming Suits and the city's significance in the early stages of her relationship with Prince Harry.Meanwhile, Star magazine claims tensions between Prince William and Prince Harry have flared again over Princess Diana's legacy, with a source suggesting Harry wants to pursue a screen project without William's involvement and would lean on existing Netflix relationships to do it. Rob Shuter also claims Meghan wants to direct, with one source describing her as “intensely hands-on.”We also review comments from communications professionals who say the Sussexes' staff turnover is unusually high and potentially damaging, warning that repeated departures have become a story in their own right and may make it harder to recruit top-tier advisers going forward.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.

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.

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.

Analysis of four hundred seventy Palace Intrigue episodes breaks down the stories, names and themes that defined royal coverage in 2025. The numbers reveal a monarchy under sustained pressure, dominated by scandal, health crises and unresolved family rifts.Andrew emerged as the most talked-about royal by a wide margin, with his Epstein-linked fallout, loss of titles and forced departure from Royal Lodge defining the institutional crisis of the year. Prince William followed closely, as he quietly stepped into a larger leadership role amid growing expectations of a future royal reset.We examine why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue to dominate headlines from California, how the narrative around the Sussexes began to shift, and why Netflix remained a central battleground. We also reflect on King Charles's first full year as monarch during cancer treatment, Kate's health journey, and the words that kept appearing again and again: controversy, feud, scandal and security. Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

King Charles has personally approved Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's return to royal duties — and Prince William is said to be furious. #ShuterScoop reports the Prince of Wales warned it was “too soon” and that “the Yorks are poison with the public,” but Charles insists “the family needs to heal in public.” Royal Insider Deep Crown tells Palace Intrigue the tension isn't about the sisters themselves but the King's “tone-deaf timing.” Meanwhile, Express columnist Chris Riches argues Beatrice and Eugenie should lose their HRH titles altogether, unable to escape “the festering link” to Andrew and Fergie's scandals.The episode also revisits Sarah Ferguson's long-forgotten plagiarism accusation and Andrew's total fall from grace — from pitch decks to pariah status — while GB News notes Beatrice's quiet rebrand as “Beatrice York” might be the smartest move the family's made all year.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Palace Intrigue delivers the most disturbing royal collapse yet as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor spends his final Royal Lodge days "padding around and ranting and muttering" to himself while Sarah Ferguson takes refuge in a secret bar called "The Doghouse" behind the mansion, confiding fears about being "targeted" due to Epstein links. Insiders reveal the separated couple sleep "at different ends of the thirty-room home" and only meet at mealtimes for "intense conversations" about their uncertain futures.Fergie has become "massively on edge," warning staff about "dark forces potentially targeting him" and leaning on loyal employees to "stay late to keep her company" as she drowns her fears in The Doghouse. Meanwhile, Church of England vicar drops bombshell questioning if Queen Elizabeth was "ignorant" of Andrew's alleged misconduct or had a "blind spot" toward her "favourite child," demanding equal scrutiny of the late monarch's inaction. Sources reveal Andrew's "arrogance finally broken" by title stripping as Beatrice and Eugenie remain "extremely worried" about their mother's paranoia. Plus, the corgis Sandy and Muick will split time between households as the only "innocent parties in this sordid mess."Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Palace Intrigue delivers the most explosive royal power revelation yet as Congress formally requests interview with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over his "long-standing friendship" with Jeffrey Epstein, citing financial records showing "massage for Andrew" payments that "raise serious questions" about his sex trafficking connections.But Amanda Platell's bombshell column exposes Princess Kate as the true architect of Andrew's destruction, revealing she's been "relentless in her demands for Andrew to be gone" and operates with an "iron fist," determined that her family be "nowhere near the putrid stench of the Yorks and their revolting behaviour." Sources confirm Andrew made "rude" remarks about Kate in the past, leaving William "infuriated." The devastating irony: Andrew once forced commoner Kate to curtsy to him, but now the stripped royal must BOW to the future Queen—and even to his own daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.Meanwhile, the princesses share emotional Mayfair embrace as King Charles orders them to "stand on their own two feet" financially, ending royal "housing association." Plus, Sarah Ferguson considers Australian exile, while Pitch@Palace winds up with mysterious fund withdrawals.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Palace Intrigue delivers explosive royal warfare as Meghan Markle deliberately sabotages Prince William's Rio Earthshot triumph by announcing her return to acting in Amazon MGM comedy Close Personal Friends. The Duchess appears as herself alongside Brie Larson and Lily Collins, with sources declaring "this is a massive moment for Meghan"—timed precisely to steal headlines from William's globally-televised ceremony with Kylie Minogue and Shawn Mendes. Alexander Larman exposes the calculated attack: "Although Harry claims Buckingham Palace was informed of his movements, it feels like a deliberate attempt to draw attention in his own direction." The Sussex moves continue undermining William's "tightly choreographed" reset after Andrew's disgrace.Meanwhile, explosive revelations expose Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being offered a lavish 6-bedroom Abu Dhabi waterfront palace by UAE president—his longtime Gordonstoun school friend. The Sea Palace compound villa includes home cinema, indoor pool, gym, and gold-detailed fixtures, offering the disgraced royal a golden Middle Eastern exile. Plus, Kate takes leading Armistice Day role, while Max Hastings demands royal reform declaring Andrew the "rottenest apple."Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Palace Intrigue delivers devastating family breakdown revelations as Princess Eugenie is spotted laughing in Notting Hill just days after her father's title stripping—in stark contrast to sister Beatrice's "somber" Royal Lodge visit. Sources expose the famous "tripod" relationship between Sarah Ferguson and her daughters is now "more strained" as both princesses retain their HRH titles, with King Charles determined to protect his nieces from the "sins of the father."Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson spirals into crisis, "blaming herself" and repeating "what if I hadn't done this, or hadn't done that" while considering fleeing the UK as "invitations have dried up overnight." Shocking details reveal Royal Lodge is "surrounded by Amazon deliveries" with "rooms full of boxes that haven't even been opened" that "will take weeks, if not months to shift."Plus, explosive revelations that Ghislaine Maxwell played matchmaker between Andrew and Australian PR queen Emma Gibbs in 2000—who then created floral arrangements for BOTH daughters' weddings. Royal expert confirms Andrew must now bow to his own daughters, while 52% of Britons believe Charles should force Andrew to testify in America about Epstein.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Taylor Swift is reportedly planning a star-studded wedding guest list that could include Prince William and Princess Kate — reflecting a quiet, long-standing friendship with the future king.

Palace Intrigue delivers the most explosive royal breaking news yet as Prince Andrew formally relinquishes ALL remaining titles and honors in a devastating Friday night announcement. The disgraced Duke of York loses his dukedom, Earl of Inverness, Baron of Killyleagh, and Knight of the Garter status after years of Charles protecting him—but insiders reveal Prince William's "ruthless" pressure finally forced the king's hand. Royal insider Deep Crown exposes the real story: "This is Prince William's methodical consolidation of royal power. Andrew's removal wasn't just punishment—it was William and Charles surgically removing a liability." Sources confirm William "was prepared to be more ruthless than his father" in what experts call "the Windsors' genteel version of the revolver in the locked room." The shocking move comes just days before Virginia Giuffre's memoir drops, with her family declaring Andrew's fall a "vindication" and "victory for every single survivor." But new bombshells emerge as Andrew's secret meetings with Chinese espionage officials are exposed, including three encounters with President Xi Jinping's chief of staff. Plus, Andrew faces lonely Christmas at Royal Lodge watching golf on TV while William "ostentatiously ignored him" at recent funeral.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Prince William has given his most personal interview to date—over cider and scooters with Eugene Levy. In a surprising appearance on Apple TV+'s The Reluctant Traveler, the future king opens up about the pressures of 2024, family health struggles, childhood trauma, and the kind of monarch he wants to be. He speaks of Princess Catherine and King Charles's progress, parenting without phones, missing the Queen, and rejecting the media chaos of his youth. Royal insider Deep Crown tells Palace Intrigue why William's style may echo Harry's—but the message couldn't be more different.

Palace Intrigue delivers the most devastating royal exposés yet as Sarah Ferguson's secret correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein explodes into scandal. Just 50 days after publicly condemning the convicted sex offender and vowing "never to speak to him again," Fergie sent a gushing email praising Epstein as a "steadfast, generous and supreme friend," potentially involving £2 million in undisclosed payments rather than the claimed £15,000.Meanwhile, Prince Harry's Guardian interview has triggered royal fury, with palace insiders declaring his "mouth is his biggest problem" and that he "digs the hole deeper" every time he speaks. The royal household is "livid" that "they let him back in—and this is how he repays them," with sources confirming Harry will NEVER return as a half-in, half-out working royal.The episode also exposes the brutal contrast between the royal sisters-in-law: while Kate dazzled at Trump's state dinner operating "at head-of-state altitude," Meghan was reduced to "filming content to sell condiments," wasting her "once-in-a-generation profile." Plus, Irish rap group Kneecap leads anti-royal chants at Wembley, and Buckingham Palace desperately seeks new kitchen staff.

Palace Intrigue delivers the most shocking royal revelation yet as Prince Harry secretly registers six-year-old Archie for Eton College—the same elite boarding school attended by Prince William, Harry himself, and future king Prince George. This explosive move suggests Harry plans to bring his son back to the UK despite the devastating family feud, with Archie potentially sharing classrooms with his royal cousins.Insiders reveal Harry feels his children are "missing out on the extensive family network" enjoyed by William's kids, though Meghan may need convincing about the plan. The security-heavy school would reunite the next generation of royals, with friends noting "statistically, Eton would be safer than an American school thanks to their gun laws."Meanwhile, royal biographer Ingrid Seward decodes Meghan's carefully chosen Harry birthday photo, suggesting she selected his "hunkiest" pre-marriage military image for strategic reasons. Plus, Harry's secret condolence visit to the Duke of Kent reveals his continued royal connections, while Spitting Image brutally satirizes the Sussex brand with puppet parodies of their Netflix ventures.From secret school plans to puppet mockery, this episode exposes Harry's desperate attempts to bridge two worlds while the royal war rages on.

This explosive episode of Palace Intrigue delivers shocking royal revelations that will leave you stunned.

As Charles grows visibly weaker, Prince Harry is desperately racing against time to reconcile with his father before Prince William's authority becomes absolute.Meanwhile, the monarchy faces its worst crisis in decades as public support plummets to just 51%—the lowest in 40 years. One in three Britons now question the royal institution's importance, with abolition support skyrocketing from 3% to 15%. We also expose Meghan Markle's latest disasters: her Netflix lifestyle series has bombed spectacularly, missing golden opportunities for product placement that could have saved her struggling brand. Royal experts suggest she should abandon lifestyle content and return to acting, with calls for Ryan Murphy or Shonda Rhimes collaborations.Plus, Princess Anne's secret £12 million fortune revealed, and we preview our explosive new series on Norway's royal rebels.

Kate Middleton is set to take on her most significant royal duty since completing chemotherapy treatment earlier this year. Buckingham Palace has confirmed her participation in the state visit of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his first wife, Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, next week.Our Royal Insider Deep Crown has been observing that all of Kate's appearances have been controlled events.  Deep Crown tells Palace Intrigue, “The carefully structured nature of this appearance - a highly formal state visit with clear protocols and predictable photo opportunities - fits perfectly into what appears to be a strategy of controlled,choreographed engagements for Kate. Particularly notable is the specific clarification that she won't attend the evening state banquet - this kind of advance limitation of duties suggests the Palace is being extremely selective about her exposure and energy expenditure. The combination of the formal daytime ceremonies (where she can be photographed looking well in a structured setting) with a clear boundary around evening commitments shows how meticulously they're managing both her recovery and public perception.This ties into a broader pattern we've seen with her limited recent appearances, such as the Remembrance events, which were similarly formal and controlled in nature”Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan will find themselves on opposite sides of the United States as they both make high-profile appearances. On Wednesday, December 4, Meghan is expected to attend a glamorous Hollywood event in Beverly Hills, celebrating her friend Tyler Perry, who is being honoured with The Paley Honors Award. Both Harry and Meghan are listed on the hosting committee for the evening, but Harry won't be in attendance.Instead, Prince Harry will be in New York City, where he's scheduled to speak at The New York Times DealBook Conference. While the couple has become known for their unified front, their separate commitments next week underscore their individual endeavors on opposite coasts.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

With every news cycle is a new version of a timetable for Kate. Vanity Fair suggests that Reports claiming that Kate is unlikely to be back at work until next year are inaccurate. They quoted one well-placed source, “There is no timeline, and there is certainly no hurry. It will be when Catherine feels ready and when she gets the greenlight from her medical team. But she will 100% be coming back to work, of that there is no question.”A “senior royal aide” tells the Daily Mail: “The Princess of Wales was the driving force behind the business task force. She has been kept up to date since the inception of the task force, and she has read the report and been briefed on it.“This is a clear commitment she has made—that throughout her life of public service…this will be [the] focus. That will continue when she returns to work.“But we have been really clear that she needs the space and the privacy to recover right now. She will return to work when she has had the greenlight from doctors.”The Telegraph reported The Princess of Wales is “considering” a surprise appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace at Trooping the Colour, according to an insider, although she will not be returning to public duties for the Colonel's Review.As colonel in chief of the Irish Guards, Kate would normally take the salute on June 8 – a week before the Trooping the Colour.   Lieutenant General James Bucknall will carry out the role of Inspecting Officer.Royal Insider Deep Crown insists that Trooping the Colour will be very telling:  “Either she will appear on that balcony, resplendent and radiant as ever, or her absence will speak volumes about the true state of her health and the challenges that lie ahead. There will be no more room for speculation or guesswork - the truth will be laid bare for all to see.."A reminder that Deep Crown does a weekly podcast exclusively available to Palace Intrigue paid subscribers.  Details in the show notes on how to sign up.Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are reportedly unlikely to join other members of the Royal Family at this year's Trooping the Colour event on June 15th, at least according to this iteration of the news cycle.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Meghan and Harry are cooking up two new projects with Netflix.The first series will see Meghan celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship.The second series follows the world of professional polo. Shot primarily at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center, the series will explore the world of the sport, which is known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene. It will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level. Royal Insider Deep Crown tells Palace Intrigue, “I must admit, I'm intrigued by the concept of the Duchess's cooking and lifestyle series. It's a departure from the more serious fare we've seen from them thus far, and it could be a smart move to showcase a more relatable, down-to-earth side of Meghan. After all, she's always had a knack for connecting with people, and this could be an opportunity to further endear herself to the public.As for the polo series, it's no surprise that Prince Harry would be drawn to a project that explores one of his great passions. He's been a fixture on the polo circuit for years, and it's a sport that holds a special place in the hearts of many royals. I imagine he'll be quite hands-on with this one, given his personal connection to the subject matter.
