  • Kate Middleton's Sunshine Hair, Classy Carols And A Royal Shade-Fest Aimed At Andrew

    Kate Middleton's Sunshine Hair, Classy Carols And A Royal Shade-Fest Aimed At Andrew
    Nov 25 2025
    The BBC apologizes after 728 complaints about calling her “Kate Middleton,” so today we lean all the way in. The Princess of Wales offers a sunny explanation for her lighter hair, quietly invites Beatrice and Eugenie to her carol service, unveils a new Conjugal Coat of Arms with William, and releases a video that insiders insist contains subtle-but-pointed commentary about “toxic-free futures” — widely read as a gentle boundary message aimed at Andrew. We also revisit her surprisingly sweet friendship with Roman Kemp and why the Wales household now runs on homemade apple juice. It’s an all Princess of Wales episode… and she is, as always, wonderful

  • Affairs, Epstein Emails and Silver Service Dinners: Inside Andrew’s Shrinking World at Royal Lodge

    Affairs, Epstein Emails and Silver Service Dinners: Inside Andrew’s Shrinking World at Royal Lodge
    Nov 24 2025
    ew reports dredge up the chaos of Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s early marriage — including claims Andrew saw more than a dozen women in year one, while Sarah and John Bryan allegedly carried on after-hours at Sunninghill Park. Freshly exposed emails show a journalist telling Jeffrey Epstein that Andrew “had consensual sex with [redacted],” a phrasing Epstein did not challenge.Meanwhile, palace insiders say Andrew is still living like nothing has changed: riding horses at Windsor, demanding silver-service dinners, crates of champagne for dwindling friends, and a full staff — all while the King and Waleses fume. He’s ignored a request from U.S. lawmakers to testify, is reportedly considering selling off personal memorabilia for cash, and remains furious over his daughters’ lost security. As one insider put it: “His world has collapsed, but he’s still acting like the man of the manor.”

  • Meghan’ Markles “Duchess of Sussex” Door Announcement Sparks Etiquette Row and New Harper’s Backlash

    Meghan’ Markles “Duchess of Sussex” Door Announcement Sparks Etiquette Row and New Harper’s Backlash
    Nov 24 2025
    Meghan Markle’s Harper’s Bazaar cover is making headlines not just for the clothes and quotes, but for the moment a house manager reportedly announced, “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,” into an almost empty Upper East Side room. Supporters say it is simply protocol and branding, with etiquette expert Myka Meier noting that using a British title socially or professionally “is not unusual or improper,” especially when that’s how someone is widely known. Critics, however, accuse Meghan of clinging to status she once claimed not to care about, with royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams calling the scene “pricelessly comic” and suggesting it would fit straight into a South Park sketch. The New York Post’s Kristin Fleming compared it to an old Saturday Night Live bit about overblown introductions, while others pointed out that protocol usually calls for visitors to be presented to a royal, not the royal being announced to a guest. Meanwhile, opinion writers are picking apart the “makeup-free” aesthetic of the shoot, with The Independent’s Katie Rosseinsky questioning why bare-faced celebrity portraits are treated as acts of bravery in between luxury knitwear, Balenciaga, and perfect skin.

    "Nazis, Murder Plots & Wickless Candles: Week Royal Family Imploded From Within"- The week in Royal News with Mark Francis
    Nov 23 2025
    A Nazi propagandist was working as a Buckingham Palace warden while secretly leading Britain's neo-fascist movement. Bombshell claims emerge that Jeffrey Epstein planned to murder Andrew and Sarah with a "UK sniper for hire" before his death, as newly released emails show Andrew calling himself "The Duke" and Epstein describing him as "great fun." Andrew spotted for first time since losing titles, claiming he's "reset" and introducing himself as "Mr. Windsor." Kate's £1.6 million jewels at Royal Variety Performance completely overshadow Meghan's Netflix trailer released same night—proving why Catherine "creates the moment" while Meghan just "creates content."

    Meghan faces mockery over untoasted bagels with cream cheese smeared on plate, American influencer claims her $64 candle arrived without wick ("I got Markled!"), and Harper's Bazaar profile reveals she has staff announce "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" in private brownstones. William reportedly "furious" Charles allowed York princesses back to royal duties, "hurt and angry" over Beckham knighthood stealing Earthshot thunder, and was denied request to scale back workload during "hardest year." Harry's phone hacking case collapses as key witness recants testimony. Tina Brown: Queen "enabled Andrew in a really terrible way."

    Plus: the floodgates open, scandals multiply, and the institution faces chaos from within.
