In this episode of Heirs and Spares, Kinsey Schofield and Rupert Bell unpack the latest royal headlines from both sides of the Atlantic, from Prince William’s surprising revelations about family life and Hollywood to the growing controversy surrounding Meghan Markle’s father and Buckingham Palace’s decision to distance itself from the scandal.
Prince William shows off his lighter side during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, discussing his family’s obsession with The Traitors, his admiration for filmmaker Christopher Nolan, and his unlikely childhood career ambitions. Meanwhile, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, makes an emotional return to a children’s hospice where she delivered her first public speech as a royal, offering comfort to families and demonstrating her continued commitment to children facing life-limiting conditions.
Meanwhile, serious allegations involving Thomas Markle Sr. have placed Meghan Markle’s family back in the headlines. As members of the Markle family speak publicly, Buckingham Palace has made its position clear: this is a matter for the Sussexes, not the royal family.
Kinsey and Rupert examine the Sussexes’ response, the Palace’s decision to keep its distance, and whether the controversy could generate sympathy for Meghan or deepen existing divisions.

This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield is joined by royal author, Andrew Lownie, and former Head of Royal Protection Dai Davies, to discuss Prince Harry’s latest GQ interview, his renewed calls for reconciliation with King Charles and Prince William, and the striking similarities between Harry and Meghan Markle and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Nearly 90 years separate these two royal scandals, but is history repeating itself? Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson spent decades struggling with their place outside the monarchy, maintaining influential social circles while seeking recognition and privileges from the institution they left behind. Now, Harry and Meghan appear to be following a similar path, pursuing high-profile appearances, media projects, and charitable initiatives that critics argue resemble a rival royal court. Are both couples guilty of confusing royal titles with royal authority? And did their resentment toward the monarchy become more important than the independence they claimed to want?
Andrew Lownie examines the historical parallels, the Palace’s handling of royal outsiders, and whether King Charles could take further action to restrict Prince Harry’s royal status. Could letters patent be used to remove Harry’s princely title? Meanwhile, Dai Davies addresses questions surrounding Harry and Meghan’s recent Nottingham appearance, including reports of local police involvement, the distinction between public safety and personal protection, and the latest developments involving RAVEC and Harry’s security arrangements.
As Prince Harry continues to speak publicly about reconciliation while criticizing the institution he left behind, Kinsey and her guests ask whether the Sussexes are repeating the mistakes of Edward and Wallis.

In this episode of Crown and Conflict, Kinsey Schofield sits down with veteran royal journalist and author Phil Dampier to discuss Prince Harry’s controversial GQ interview, his latest claims about reconciling with King Charles and Prince William, and whether his constant media appearances are doing more harm than good. With more than 40 years of experience covering the British royal family, Phil argues that Harry’s habit of sharing private family matters with the press is damaging the mystique of the monarchy and distracting from the important diplomatic work of the working royals. As King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, represent Britain during a state visit, Harry is once again making headlines with personal grievances and revelations about his family. Is Prince Harry undermining the institution he claims to represent?
Kinsey and Phil also revisit his book What’s in the Queen’s Handbag?: And Other Royal Secrets, uncovering the eccentricities, traditions, and surprising secrets of the House of Windsor. Did Queen Elizabeth believe Windsor Castle was haunted? Phil reveals the late monarch’s fascination with ghosts, including claims that she and Princess Margaret encountered the spirit of Elizabeth I as children. From terrified royal servants dropping expensive bottles of wine at Sandringham to Angela Kelly frightening palace staff with a ghostly prank, Phil shares the supernatural stories that fascinated the Queen.
The conversation also explores Queen Elizabeth’s devotion to her beloved corgis, Princess Anne’s unusual eating habits, and Prince Philip’s secret journeys through London in a black cab.
Finally, Kinsey and Phil reveal what Queen Elizabeth really carried inside her famous handbags!

In this episode of Recollections May Vary, Kinsey Schofield and Kevin O’Sullivan dissect Prince Harry’s latest GQ interview, his renewed claims that he wants to reconcile with the royal family, and the controversial comments that sparked speculation about another swipe at Prince William. After Harry suggested that some people don’t want reconciliation to succeed, the Sussexes were forced to issue a clarification insisting his remarks weren’t directed at his brother or any other royal relative. But if Harry wasn’t talking about his family, who was he talking about?
Kinsey and Kevin question whether Harry understands the media frenzy he creates or knows exactly how to generate headlines while continuing to criticize the British press.
The pair also examine Harry’s publicity campaign for his MasterClass on grief, his evolving narrative about Princess Diana, and his claims about breaking generational parenting patterns. Why is Harry doing so much press for a MasterClass when he seemingly did less to promote his multimillion-dollar Netflix partnership? From his insistence that he doesn’t want sympathy to his complaints about being criticized for sharing his story, Kinsey and Kevin challenge the contradictions in Harry’s latest interview, including his comments about royal privilege, mental health resources, and his strained relationship with King Charles. Is Harry genuinely seeking reconciliation, or is he continuing to capitalize on the royal family’s silence?
Meanwhile, King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, demonstrate the diplomatic responsibilities of the working monarchy as they welcome the Sultan of Oman for a state visit. While Harry continues discussing his family grievances in the American media, the senior royals remain focused on representing Britain on the world stage.

In this episode of Heirs and Spares, Kinsey Schofield and Rupert Bell unpack the latest royal headlines from both sides of the Atlantic, including Prince William’s awkward encounter with an enthusiastic fan, the Princess of Wales’ latest early childhood initiative, and fresh allegations that Netflix exploited Meghan Markle to promote its hit series The Gentlemen.
Prince William found himself dodging an unexpected kiss during a public walkabout in London following an Earthshot Prize cricket event outside Buckingham Palace. When an enthusiastic woman grabbed the future king and attempted to kiss him, William managed to escape the encounter with a smile.
Meanwhile, Catherine, Princess of Wales, is celebrating the British countryside with a new project exploring the benefits of nature on childhood development and emotional well-being. The initiative builds on her commitment to supporting young children and families through the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
And has Camp Sussex just made a bad situation with Netflix even worse? A source close to Meghan Markle claims the streaming giant used rumors of her involvement in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen to generate publicity for the series. But conflicting reports suggest Meghan misunderstood the level of interest in her participation. Kinsey and Rupert examine why the Sussex camp appears increasingly comfortable criticizing a company that once helped bankroll their Hollywood ambitions. With Netflix reportedly distancing itself from Meghan’s As Ever lifestyle brand, could these public complaints signal that the Sussexes’ relationship with the streaming giant is coming to an end?

In this episode of Reading Royals, Kinsey Schofield sits down with co-host and body language expert Scott Rouse to dive into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s highly publicized return to the British spotlight. Following the Sussexes’ October 15 appearance in Nottingham, the pair examine the couple’s body language, relationship dynamics, and apparent attempts to recreate the public-facing roles they abandoned when they stepped back from royal duties.
Who’s really calling the shots in the Sussex marriage? Does Prince Harry appear more comfortable on British soil, or has his relationship with royal life changed for good? And is Meghan Markle genuinely connecting with the people she meets, or is she more conscious of the cameras capturing every moment? Scott analyzes the couple’s gestures, physical interactions, and public behavior to explore what their body language might reveal about their confidence, comfort, and relationship behind the scenes.
Kinsey and Scott also compare Harry and Meghan’s Nottingham appearance with the official engagements carried out by Prince William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales. As questions mount over the Sussexes’ motivations for returning to Britain, the pair examine whether Harry and Meghan are attempting to reclaim the royal relevance they surrendered six years ago.

Today on Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, Kinsey is joined by bestselling author Tom Bower to examine Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s controversial return to Britain, their true motivations, and what the next 12 months could hold for the Sussexes.
Six years after Queen Elizabeth II rejected their half-in, half-out proposal, are Harry and Meghan attempting to recreate the appearance of working royals without the responsibilities? Bower questions whether the Sussexes’ return is an admission of failure, as their ambitious British comeback is already raising eyebrows. From the reported chaos surrounding Archie and Lili’s schooling to Harry’s ongoing security battle, is this a carefully calculated strategy or another example of ignorance?
Bower also weighs in on Harry’s fixation with Invictus 2027, Meghan’s controversial public appearances, and whether the couple is deliberately putting King Charles in an impossible position. Are the Sussexes genuinely seeking reconciliation, or simply the royal legitimacy that could revive their struggling public image? And has the Palace’s reluctance to confront Harry and Meghan allowed them to exploit the monarchy’s reputation for their own benefit?
With explosive predictions about Harry and Meghan’s future, Tom Bower examines whether the Sussexes are staging a royal comeback or setting themselves up for another spectacular failure.

Today on Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, Kinsey is joined by bestselling author Tom Bower for an explosive examination of King Charles, his complicated relationship with Prince Harry, and whether the monarch is finally prepared to put an end to Harry and Meghan’s royal charade.
Drawing on his extensive research for Rebel King, Bower reveals a very different side of King Charles. Behind the monarch’s restrained public image is a man who has historically been fiercely protective of his reputation, determined to control his public image, and willing to confront powerful figures to get his way. If Charles fought so relentlessly to rehabilitate his own reputation and secure Camilla’s place in the monarchy, why does he appear reluctant to challenge his youngest son?
Could Harry and Meghan’s attempts to establish an unofficial rival royal court in Britain finally push the King to his breaking point? Bower examines Charles’ competitive streak, his history of quietly removing royal privileges, and the extraordinary measures the Palace could take to prevent the Sussexes from exploiting their royal connections.
And does King Charles even want Harry and Meghan back as working royals? Tom Bower offers his assessment of the King’s true feelings and whether the Sussexes have any realistic chance of reclaiming their former positions within the monarchy.
COMING UP IN PART TWO: What are Harry and Meghan trying to achieve by returning to Britain? Tom Bower explores the Sussexes’ motives, Harry’s security battle, Meghan’s controversial publicity tactics, and what the next 12 months could hold for the couple. Is their British comeback already destined to fail? Don’t miss it!
