Holy ramparts, Batmaj! The Queen has a bat problem at her holiday home in Balmoral, but she’s enjoying staff putting on a show of chasing them out. Kate Middleton and Prince William, meanwhile, are planning a magic show and a bouncy castle for Prince George’s sixth birthday, while Camilla Parker Bowles celebrates her 72nd birthday with donkeys, pasties and a show-stopper of a cake inspired by the UK’s national parks. Elsewhere, Meghan Markle is keeping busy on maternity leave, playing lawn bowling and chatting to Pharrell about life in the public eye. We’re also discussing Prince Andrew’s friendship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as secret court documents are set to be unsealed by a US judge.

It was love all at Wimbledon this weekend as Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle put an end to rumours of a royal rift, while the Coordinated Cambridges stepped out for the finals and received a cult classic gift to kickstart Prince Louis’ career as a hypebeast. Prince George, meanwhile, stole the show at the crockery smash stall at a village fete with Princess Charlotte, and Camilla brought her A game to an explosive table tennis match at the RAF’s barracks. We’re also breaking down all the drama on and off the pitch at Prince William and Prince Harry’s polo duel — which saw Kate and Meghan playing the WAG on the sidelines, with their kids in tow — and the show-stopping, internet-breaking meeting of Meghan and Queen Beyoncé at the London premiere of the Lion King.

After the godmother of all outsized media backlashes, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry celebrated the christening of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor with an Insta-friendly mic drop. Camilla Parker Bowles shared some exciting godparent news of her own aboard a luxury cruise ship, while Prince George has been honing his tennis technique with no less than Roger Federer. We learn that Princess Diana was once in talks to star in a sequel to The Bodyguard opposite Kevin Costner, Prince Charles has a new nickname for former TV star Meghan, and you’ll find Kate Middleton hanging out in the tent.

The name’s Wales… Prince Charles made a play for the next 007 on the set of Bond 25, complete with novelty tie and his very own wine-powered Aston Martin. Elsewhere, Meghan Markle found herself in a tight spot with some ‘garbage’ tights, while Kate Middleton fought off carriage sickness at the Garter Day meeting of royal style icons. Also, Prince Harry and Meghan have left the Royal Foundation they shared with Prince William and Kate, and we discuss the family’s recent car troubles.

The royals have gone wild — this week has seen Kate Middleton pond dipping and sheep shearing with Prince William, Camilla Parker Bowles buzzing from party to party and Charles, the Prince of Whales, welcoming a menagerie to Clarence House. Meanwhile, Archie gets his first headshot, Meghan Markle lines up her next gig and it’s not all roses for the Turnip Toffs...

It’s the Queen’s (fake) birthday! We were on the scene at Buckingham Palace, where we saw Prince Louis make a spirited balcony debut and Meghan Markle make a diamond-studded comeback on a break from her maternity leave. We talk through the high — and low — points of the Trump visit, from the winks and the wine to bomber jackets and bleak menus. Also, a ‘rural rival’ makes a curious appearance, and the Queen makes everyone listen to the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack.

From the forget-me-nots to the unforgettable decor, we’ve got all the details from our visit to Frogmore House and Gardens, home of Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Master Archie. Elsewhere, Meghan picks up a new pram and Prince George picks up his first job as a Waitrose delivery assistant. Lifetime’s Becoming Royal explores unexplained mysteries, such as ‘how does Meghan really feel about those tights?’ and ‘can a royal execute a roundhouse kick?’. Plus, Donald Trump comes for Meghan and Rob Lowe comes for Prince William’s hairline.

We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our podcast. In our first episode, the Queen goes to Sainsburys, Camilla Parker Bowles goes to Avoca, Kate Middleton’s bag guy goes to the pharmacy and Prince Charles tries to solve Brexit.
