The report that Prince Harry would ask King Charles to open his Invictus Games has upset our royal experts.

Richard Eden says the whole thing feels 'unpleasant', Richard Kay believes the King could be being 'bounced' into the decision by his son, while Rebecca English says the whole thing feels 'distasteful' when the focus should be on the veteran competitors in the games.

The panel also discuss reports that Harry sees himself spending more time in the UK and what that might mean for his security.

Plus, our team explain why Prince William and Princess Catherine have hired a CRISIS specialist to join their communications team.

The latest on the ex-Prince Andrew's move to Sandringham.

AND we wish Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh a happy birthday with one of our world-famous montages.

Kicking off 2026 with a bang, our panel of experts discuss if a new change means that Harry and Meghan's security will be funded by the British taxpayer. Sources in the Sussex camp certainly seem to think so...

PLUS Richard Kay theorises what would happen if the Duke of Sussex were to become an Internationally Protected Person (IPP). Will American taxpayers have to fork out? And what would President Trump, who is no fan of Meghan Markle, have to say about it?

AND Rebecca English explains why the former Prince Andrew could find himself homeless.

We also wish Princess Catherine's a very happy 44th birthday with one of our world-famous montages.

And discuss how Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis fared in the royal walkabout at Sandringham.

Spies, lies, death threats and conspiracy theories! The REAL story around Martin Bashir's Panorama interview with Princess Diana in 1995 is even more jaw-dropping than previously thought.

That's according to a new book Dianarama by Andy Webb who has gone into forensic detail to uncover some extraordinary unknown facts about one of the most notorious interviews in royal history.

In his first interview about the book Webb reveals: the appalling lies told to Diana about the then Prince Charles including fictional affairs and death threats; how Diana's brother Earl Spencer help his investigation; the BBC cover up for Bashir's actions; and why Prince William is very keen to have this story out in public.
