    Mar 27 2026

    Have Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie been quietly sidelined by the King? Could they be stripped of their royal titles? And where is Fergie? Join our royal experts for their weekly conversation covering all the significant royal topics of the week.

    Chris, Lizzie and Lucrezia discuss how the two sisters' reputation has been affected by the arrest of their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Beatrice was last seen publicly with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, at Sandringham for the Christmas Day service, alongside her sister Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank.

    Chris reveals the mood in the palace since Princess Beatrice and Eugenie's names were included in the latest release of the Epstein files.

    Plus, are the royal sisters still talking to their mother, Sarah Ferguson? And where could she be hiding? The former Duchess of York has not been seen in months, despite constant press speculation about her whereabouts.

    Being named in the Epstein files does not automatically imply wrongdoing or criminal activity. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson have previously denied all wrongdoing.

    An extraordinary never-before-seen photo uncovered by ITV News shows Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein and Lord Mandelson together for the first time.

  • Did the royal family make a mistake letting Harry and Meghan walk away?
    Feb 27 2026

    In this week’s episode of Talking Royals, Charlene, Chris and Lizzie discuss whether Meghan and Harry should have ever been allowed to leave the royal family. And is the Palace now missing that Meghan Markle magic?

    Charlene, Chris and Lizzie recorded this episode right after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s surprise trip to Jordan made global headlines — including reports that they were “snubbed” by the Jordanian royal family. The British royal family have a famously close relationship with the Jordanian royals, with the Crown Prince and Prince William maintaining a genuine friendship. So in this episode we unpack how Harry and Meghan's humanitarian‑focused visit was received, and whether the timing caused any tension back home.

    Meanwhile, as the Royal Family continues grappling with the crisis involving Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, our experts explore how the ongoing scandal is impacting royal work, public perception, and discussions around the line of succession.


    And at the BAFTAs on Sunday night, there was an unexpected hot-mic moment from Prince William. When asked if he’d watched the new Hamnet movie, he was overhead admitting I’m not in a calm state”. So was the comment a subtle reference to the Andrew situation, or were the newspaper headlines overwritten?


    Plus, is Kensington Palace’s commitment to social media content the most significant change to royal reporting in the past decade?
