  • The Future

    The whole reconciliation story is rather convenient, isn't it? What's actually happened is Harry and Meghan's US venture ran out of steam, the money dried up, and they realised they needed the family behind them. So they went back to the King—probably made it clear they'd have to say something rather unpleasant if he didn't help with the legal costs. Charles, being tired and wanting peace before things get worse, agreed to fund them.

    It's rather clever, actually. Desperate, but clever. The prob... more

  • Awful

    I found this absolutely vile and ridiculous.Just a takedown of anything you think they say or do. Harry is a good guy, brave and principled Just stop.Just leave them alone. Who told you she had feet on seats etc. just drivel and done on purpose to make them look bad. Who put you up to this? Camilla or Kate. After Squidgy Gate and the way Diana was manipulated by the King and Camilla nothing could surpass their behavior . But somehow all forgotten. Or were you even born? Just go and hang your hea... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Harry Is Plotting His New Royal Future
Q: What's been working well about the template for his visits?
The guests and host discuss how the ongoing plan for Harry's visits—frequent travel, focus on patronages, and leveraging high-visibility events—has raised his profile in the UK, potentially aiding fundraising and public perception, though the effectiveness remains debated.
This Is Why King Charles Is Now at Harry’s Mercy
Q: How significant is the loss of Sir Clive Alderton to the functioning of Charles's administration?
Valentine Low explains that Alderton is a pivotal figure whose exit marks not just a personnel change but a potential recalibration of how the king's office engages with ministers, communicates, and manages access, with a long list of possible successors.
This Is What The Royals Are Really Like
Q: From your perspective, what was the Queen Mother's greatest impact on the royal family and the country during the war?
Her leadership was about morale, resilience, and quietly sustaining the nation; she provided a steadying presence that helped keep people focused and hopeful during turbulent times.
Tragic Harry Just wants to Come Home
Q: What is the core issue driving the current conflict between Charles and William as discussed on the show?
The core issue is a power struggle over influence and direction for the monarchy, with Charles attempting to reaffirm control while William pushes to shape the next era of the royal institution, including how Beatrice and Eugenie are treated and how policy will be set once Charles's reign deepens.
How Preaching Meghan Exposed Her Own Hypocrisy
Q: In Spare, Harry blames William and Catherine for advising him to wear the Nazi outfit; you go further in your book—how do you explain Catherine's role in that moment?
I acknowledge that Catherine was involved in the group dynamics around the costume but emphasize the broader generation and cultural context; the incident is treated as a serious misstep amplified by media, and the conversation around responsibility is nuanced, not one-sided.
