About this listen

 Palace Intrigue is a daily podcast covering the British Royal Family, including King Charles the Third, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle

From Prince Andrew’s latest controversies and the fallout shaking the royal institution, to Prince William’s expanding role as he quietly prepares for the throne, we cover every turn in the Windsor storyline — including the continuing turbulence surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, whose lives outside the palace remain a source of fascination and tension. We also track King Charles’ health and its impact on the crown, as well as Princess Kate Middleton’s recovery and what it means for the family’s public image.


It’s a monarchy in transition — one navigating legacy, loyalty, and relentless media scrutiny. Think of it as The Crown: Season 17 — only this time, it’s happening in real life.

  • Fergie’s Study Sex Scandal, Andrew’s Flood of Accusers, and the Palace Braces for a Prince Philip book

    Fergie’s Study Sex Scandal, Andrew’s Flood of Accusers, and the Palace Braces for a Prince Philip book
    Jan 12 2026
    Explosive new claims reopen the darkest chapter of the House of York. Fresh reporting alleges Sarah Ferguson carried on an affair inside Prince Andrew’s private study — while he slept upstairs. The accusations, drawn from multiple books and former household staff, revive memories of the York marriage’s spectacular collapse and the Palace’s fury at Ferguson’s behaviour.

    Meanwhile, biographer Andrew Lownie says the dam has finally burst. Former protection officers, diplomats, naval figures, and palace insiders are now coming forward daily with new allegations about Andrew, prompting plans for a sequel rather than a simple book update. Sources warn there is now enough material to haunt the monarchy for years, with fears Andrew could ultimately flee abroad if pressure escalates further.

    We also look at why Lownie’s newly announced Prince Philip project has triggered quiet alarm inside royal circles, as well as the contrast on display elsewhere in the family: Catherine releases a deeply personal cancer recovery film marking her birthday, while Queen Camilla promotes the growing reach of her Reading Room charity. As the York scandals resurface yet again, the Palace faces an uncomfortable truth — some ghosts simply refuse to stay buried.

  • Kate Middleton discusses cancer, Camilla Bristles, and the Queen vs Queen battle widens

    Kate Middleton discusses cancer, Camilla Bristles, and the Queen vs Queen battle widens
    Jan 12 2026
    In a rare and quietly powerful moment, Catherine offers a glimpse into her cancer journey during a joint hospital visit with Prince William, telling an NHS volunteer simply, “I know.” The moment resonates — and sharply contrasts with reports of rising tension behind palace doors.According to multiple sources, relations between Catherine and Queen Camilla have deteriorated, with claims of territorial behaviour, lingering resentment, and a growing sense that the Waleses are no longer waiting patiently for the future.

    Royal insiders say the fallout from the York scandals has only intensified the strain.We also cover a lighter moment that went slightly off the rails as Zara Tindall cringes live on Australian television thanks to one of Mike Tindall’s signature jokes — plus a candid listener review questioning the show’s Meghan-Harry balance.

    And yes, Meghan finds her way back in, with British kettle language, Oprah appearances, brand advice, and yet another gentle reminder that trying to do everything at once may be the real problem.
