    York Sisters “Blindsided” as Epstein Fallout Freezes Them Out of Royal Ascot and now the in-laws are mad
    Mar 5 2026
    Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are reportedly being frozen out of royal life following the arrest of their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Reports suggest the sisters will not appear in the Royal Ascot carriage procession and may be excluded from public-facing royal events “for the foreseeable future.” Friends say they were “blindsided,” with one describing the ongoing saga as a “never-ending s*** show.”

    Commentators are divided. Some argue the sisters are paying the price for a scandal not of their making, while others say the monarchy must protect itself from damaging optics as new Epstein material circulates. Royal Insider Deep Crown explains why the Crown operates on “institutional survival” rather than individual fairness.Plus: Andrew reportedly seeks to surrender another Crown Estate lease, questions emerge about whether he has legally lost his titles, and he is expected to miss the Royal Family’s traditional Easter service at Windsor.

  • Sussex Jordan Trip Backlash, Meghan Jam Mockery, and the Handwriting “Experts”

    Sussex Jordan Trip Backlash, Meghan Jam Mockery, and the Handwriting “Experts”
    Mar 4 2026
    Four fresh Sussex stories in one tight round-up. Reports claim Prince Harry and Meghan’s Jordan visit irritated officials in Washington because it landed during escalating regional tension, with one source calling their presence “unhelpful” and “unnecessary noise.”

    Critics also branded the trip a “photo op,” while Angela Levin said, “I think it’s disgusting,” and alleged some people connected to events in Jordan “are Hamas,” a claim for which no public evidence has been presented.

    Next, Meghan’s As Ever brand takes incoming after a new jam promo photo: commenters mocked the “three spreads” caption against a picture showing five spoons, with one joking, “Either she can't count or two of them are doubled up.”

    Then the numbers: SimilarWeb data cited by Newsweek suggests traffic to As Ever has climbed from 196,831 visits in October to 268,200 in January, but about two-thirds of visitors reportedly come from outside the United States, where international shipping is not currently offered.And finally, yes, handwriting analysis is now content: a graphologist says Meghan and Harry’s notes in Jordan show they are “two very different people,” with Meghan described as more presentation-focused and assertive, and Harry as more reserved and pragmatic.

    Mar 4 2026
    Fresh criticism for Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as Megyn Kelly accuses her of “playing a role” and claims she “doesn’t know who she is,” pointing to a viral NBA clip and questioning the couple’s approach to privacy. Meanwhile, Sky News Australia commentators mock a potential Royal Lodge stay, with one calling her the “queen of tacky,” and columnist Daniela Elser argues the Sussexes’ Jordan trip comes at the worst possible moment amid what she calls “extreme public sensitivity” about royal titles.

    Plus: GB News calls for Harry and Meghan to be stripped of their titles, reports say the couple have offered their Montecito home to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie during the Epstein fallout, and RadarOnline claims Prince Andrew is “basically trying to find God” as isolation deepens. We also look at questions surrounding Sarah Ferguson’s reported stays in Zurich, the UAE and Ireland — and how she funds it all.

    Sussex strategy or royal sabotage? Are Beatrice and Eugenie being urged to break their silence by Harry and Meghan?
    Mar 2 2026
    Reports claim Harry and Meghan are encouraging Beatrice and Eugenie to speak publicly about the Epstein fallout, a move some fear could detonate new family divisions. Jan Moir says the Jordan tour made the Sussexes look like “Windsor saints,” while Tessa Dunlop argues William could end the exile with a single public gesture. Attention also turns to the King’s high-risk U.S. visit, where lawyers, politicians and the First Amendment could collide with royal protocol.
