In this episode of Crown and Conflict, Kinsey Schofield sits down with royal commentator Victoria Arbiter to discuss the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II and the leadership style that defined her historic reign. Drawing from her new book, “Queen Elizabeth II: An Icon of Modern Monarchy,” Arbiter explains how the late Queen carefully modernized the institution while fiercely protecting its traditions. The conversation explores Elizabeth’s lifelong commitment to duty, the stability created by her record-breaking reign, and the lessons today’s royal family can draw from her approach to leadership and public service.

Schofield and Arbiter also examine the monarchy’s place in a rapidly changing world and the role the Commonwealth of Nations played in Elizabeth’s identity as a global monarch. The discussion then shifts to the modern royal landscape, including the evolving perception of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, particularly in Australia. Arbiter offers insight into whether the couple’s criticism of the royal family has affected their standing in Commonwealth countries and how their current projects and messaging compare to the late Queen’s model of quiet, long-term service.

In Part 2 of this episode of Reading Royals, Kinsey Schofield sits down with co-host and body language expert Scott Rouse to continue their revealing rewatch of an interview that may look very different in hindsight. Together, they revisit the August 2025 conversation Meghan Markle gave to Bloomberg, where she enthusiastically promoted her lifestyle brand As Ever and its high-profile partnership with Netflix. At the time, the collaboration was presented as a major step forward for Meghan’s expanding business ambitions.
Now that Netflix and Meghan have officially parted ways when it comes to the As Ever brand, Kinsey and Scott revisit the interview with fresh eyes and a behavioral analysis lens. Were there subtle signals that the partnership wasn’t as solid as it appeared? Did Meghan’s expressions, tone, or physical cues hint at hesitation or tension behind the scenes?
Reading Royals blends royal history, current headlines, and behavioral insight to explore what might really be happening beneath the surface. In this episode, Kinsey and Scott break down the interview moment by moment to see whether Meghan’s body language was telling a different story long before the headlines caught up.

In this episode of Recollections May Vary, Kinsey Schofield and Kevin O’Sullivan unpack Meghan Markle’s latest Montecito money grab.
The “Her Best Life” retreat is being marketed as a luxury women’s weekend taking place April 17–19 at the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach, promising relaxation, empowerment and bonding with like-minded women. The centerpiece of the event is an intimate gala dinner and conversation with Meghan Markle, who is positioned as the headline attraction. Promotional materials highlight her acting career on Suits, her work with Archewell Philanthropies alongside Prince Harry, her podcast Archetypes, and her lifestyle brand As Ever. In other words, a very expensive girls’ weekend built around the chance to hear from the Duchess herself. Hard pass.
Then Kev and Kinsey take a step back and revisit the Sussex business ventures that have stumbled since the couple stepped away from royal duties in 2020 to build their Hollywood “empire.”
From the collapse of their Spotify deal after just one season of Archetypes, to mixed results from their Netflix partnership, to the chaotic rebrand of Meghan’s lifestyle company from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever, the pattern is becoming hard to ignore: big announcements, plenty of publicity, and very little staying power.

In this episode of Crown and Conflict, Kinsey Schofield sits down with New York insider and former tabloid columnist AJ Benza to unpack one of the most tantalizing “what if” moments of the 1990s: the secret meeting between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Princess Diana at The Carlyle. AJ does not just report on the era. He lived it. As a friend of JFK Jr. during the ambitious launch of George, Benza offers firsthand insight into John’s bold plan to fuse politics and celebrity, including the explosive idea of featuring Diana on the cover styled as George Washington.
At the height of Diana mania in 1995, the separated Princess was redefining her global image while JFK Jr. was building a glossy political brand designed to disrupt traditional media. Their carefully orchestrated meeting, designed to outsmart paparazzi and control optics, sparked rumors of romance after details leaked. But was it strictly business? Was there chemistry? And how serious was John about landing the most photographed woman in the world for his debut issue? Kinsey and AJ pull back the velvet curtain on what really happened in that room, what John privately said afterward, and why Diana ultimately declined.
The conversation also examines the cultural mythology surrounding Camelot and the Crown, including how Diana’s strategic restraint contrasted with today’s celebrity playbook. Kinsey challenges AJ on whether figures like Meghan Markle could learn from Diana’s composure and media discipline, and reflects on how Diana’s death deeply affected both JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Camelot meets the Crown in a fascinating intersection of ambition, mystique, and legacy.

Maureen draws striking parallels between Meghan Markle’s pursuit of Prince Harry and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s relationship with John F. Kennedy Jr., including Meghan’s early fashion choices that echoed Carolyn’s iconic minimalist style. She also shares her candid take on Ryan Murphy’s Love Story.
The episode explores Prince Harry’s ongoing High Court battle over alleged unlawful information gathering, with journalists forcefully denying his claims of voicemail hacking. Kinsey and Maureen question Harry’s understanding of the media while discussing broader tensions between him and the press.
They also examine reports that Prince William is keeping Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie at arm’s length amid concerns about discretion and outside ventures… as rumors swirl that the Sussexes may be encouraging the York sisters to tell their own story. The hosts weigh whether this signals empowerment or escalating royal power plays.
