  • Royally Minted
    Guess who got a self-isolation notice and had to stay inside all weekend? And what better way to spend it than reading the palace’s annual financial report... including details of the royals’ outrageous travel bill, Prince Charles’s support for the Sussexes, and the households’ staff diversity statistics, published for the first time. Plus, the Cambridges consider moving to the countryside (again) and tensions between Prince William and Prince Harry continue to escalate.
