The Royal Tea

The crisis surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor deepens as pressure grows on the Royal Family, with fresh scrutiny on his position at Sandringham Estate. Former Palace insider Dickie Arbiter and ex-Royal Protection chief Dai Davies break down the latest developments in the ongoing investigation and what it means for the monarchy.

Arbiter argues the media frenzy has gone too far, insisting the disgraced royal has already paid a heavy public price while investigators carry out their work. Davies takes the opposite view, warning this is entirely self-inflicted and could expose deeper issues at the heart of the establishment. From police delays to questions over who knew what — and when — the discussion lays out the key lines of inquiry now shaping the case.

This episode delivers sharp analysis of the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor investigation, asking what happens next and whether this scandal could become a defining moment for the Royal Family.

When Harry and Meghan quit the Royal Family, a big part of that was that they wanted more privacy for themselves and their children. Why, then, are they still benefiting by posting pictures of their children on social media - most recently this weekend, as part of an Easter video.

Mark Dolan is joined by former Sun Royal Editor Duncan Larcombe to discuss the hypocrisy of the Duke and Duchess, why their privacy defence no longer stands up, how posting them could be putting the children at risk, and how this habit seems to tie in to Meghan's push for relevance in Los Angeles.

The conversation also digs into speculation around corruption allegations, the role of the CPS in guiding police, and whether historic royal legal precedents could offer Andrew any protection in court.

Jeremy Kyle also presses on the wider Royal implications, including the position of King Charles III and whether continued financial support risks reputational fallout. Arbiter offers insight into the strained relationship behind palace doors, suggesting ties remain but are deeply fractured.

On this episode of The Royal Tea, Kevin O'Sullivan is joined by royal editor Robert Jobson to discuss the news that Harry is hoping the King will invite his family to Sandringham for a family reunion. But has Harry's behaviour already cost him the invite?

And as news breaks that Beatrice and Eugenie won't be joining the Royals at Easter - where in the world is Sarah Ferguson?

Prince Harry is reportedly expecting an invite to Sandringham this summer, but speaking to Mark Dolan, royal biographer Angela Levin casts serious doubt on whether any reunion with King Charles III will happen. Levin claims the story has been “planted” and accuses Harry of trying to pressure the King via the press, rather than handling family matters privately. She argues trust between the Sussexes and the Royal Family has completely broken down.

The discussion lays bare deep tensions behind the scenes, with Levin suggesting financial motives could be driving Harry’s reported desire to return, while also highlighting ongoing disputes over security, media leaks and past interviews. She points to concerns inside the Palace that any private conversation could be made public, alongside claims that Meghan is still demanding an apology and unwilling to return to the UK, further complicating any potential reconciliation.

Levin also reflects on her time with Prince Harry before Meghan entered his life, describing a very different figure to the one seen today. She argues that change, combined with ongoing public attacks and media strategy, has left the Royal Family wary of any renewed contact.

The Royal Tea breaks down the dramatic decision to strip Sarah Ferguson of the Freedom of the City of York, as the long shadow of Jeffrey Epstein continues to reshape royal reputations. In this episode, Samara Gill leads coverage of the unanimous council vote, the resurfacing of historic emails, and the renewed scrutiny surrounding Ferguson’s past associations. The discussion centres on how the Epstein files are still driving headlines — and consequences — years on.

The episode explores the key revelations, including Ferguson’s contact with Epstein after his conviction, financial links, and claims she introduced her daughters into his social orbit. There’s also focus on the wider institutional response — from York councillors stressing “standards over criminality” to the symbolic but powerful removal of honours previously held by both Ferguson and Prince Andrew. Samara also outlines the growing pressure from the United States for testimony, alongside reports of charities closing and business interests winding down.

The conversation also digs into the Sussexes’ upcoming trip, including a women-only retreat appearance in Sydney, questions over who funds their security, and a petition from thousands of Australians demanding taxpayers don’t foot the bill.

Kinsey Schofield dissects a chaotic week for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry — from explosive claims about a potential “raunchy” acting comeback to fresh doubts over their future with Netflix. Reports suggest Meghan could be considering a return to the screen in a bid to “cut through” and reclaim relevance, sparking fierce debate over how far she might go to revive her career.

Schofield lays out a blunt assessment of the Sussex strategy, linking the acting rumours to fallout from Tom Bower’s Betrayal and mounting criticism in the US media. The discussion also tears into claims of a new polo-themed Netflix project, with both interviews questioning whether it’s genuine or simply “smoke and mirrors” designed to counter damaging headlines about their lack of output and strained industry relationships.

The episode widens into a full-scale takedown of the Sussex brand — from backlash over their Australia visit and accusations of “cash-for-appearance” tours, to growing scrutiny over their media tactics and constant rebuttals of criticism.

Mark Dolan is joined by royal biographer Angela Levin as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wade into a landmark US court ruling that found major tech firms, including Meta, liable for social media addiction harms. The Sussexes back the verdict, calling it a “reckoning” — but the intervention sparks immediate backlash and raises serious questions about their own online behaviour.

Angela Levin delivers a scathing assessment, accusing Meghan of blatant hypocrisy by criticising platforms like Instagram while активно using them to promote her brand and feature her children. The discussion zeroes in on claims that Archie and Lilibet are regularly used in curated posts, despite Harry’s public warnings about the dangers of children being exposed online. Levin also questions inconsistencies between the couple’s public messaging on safeguarding and their private conduct.

The conversation escalates into a broader critique of the Sussexes’ parenting, public image and credibility — from claims of “double standards” to scrutiny over their family setup and media strategy. With fresh controversy surrounding Tom Bower’s new book Betrayal, this episode cuts through the headlines to ask: are Harry and Meghan saying one thing and doing another — and is the public finally turning?
