  • Meghan’s Rosé, Suits Rewind, and a Royal Funeral Plan with a Twist

    Meghan’s Rosé, Suits Rewind, and a Royal Funeral Plan with a Twist
    Jul 24 2025
    You can laugh at Meghan Markle’s brand—but royal expert Jennie Bond says she might just be getting the last word. From her lifestyle tips to her sell-out products and surging social media numbers, Meghan seems to be quietly building something real. As for Harry? Bond thinks he’s finally figured out he’s not exactly a natural TV producer.
    Meanwhile, Suits superfans are convinced they’ve pinpointed the exact moment Meghan met Harry—by tracking changes in Rachel Zane’s wardrobe, screen chemistry, and camera angles. Hemlines went down. Kisses got awkward. Coincidence? They think not.

    But the shine may be fading on Meghan’s debut rosé. One Daily Mail critic called it “bland,” “watery,” and “something you’d get at a work happy hour.” Cheers?

    And in a serious turn, The Telegraph reports that Prince Harry and Meghan are being quietly included in early plans for King Charles’ eventual funeral. Nothing to do with his current health—just traditional planning. But should the worst happen, Harry would walk beside William, and even Archie and Lilibet would have roles.

    Also today: thanks to a boom in offshore wind, the Sovereign Grant is about to surge by £45 million. While that money goes toward palace renovations, critics argue it could be better spent addressing child poverty. Helicopters, heritage, and headlines—welcome to monarchy math in 2025.

  • Prince William: Tea at 3AM, Drug Busts, and a 109-Year-Old Fan

    Prince William: Tea at 3AM, Drug Busts, and a 109-Year-Old Fan
    Jul 23 2025
    A former soldier named Hugh phoned in to LBC with a story that says everything about Prince William’s approach to leadership. During a freezing, 3AM training exercise on Salisbury Plain, it wasn’t an officer barking orders—it was William brewing tea. “NATO milk and two sugars,” the soldier requested. “Yes please boss.” That boss? The future king.

    From the trenches to the tropics: another old story has resurfaced about William’s quieter heroism. In 2008, just days into his Royal Navy stint, the prince played a key role in a £40 million drug bust near Barbados. Alongside a sniper and pilot aboard a Lynx helicopter, William helped intercept a boat smuggling 2,000 pounds of cocaine.
    Also today: a Big Issue vendor credits a 2022 meeting with Prince William as the turning point that got him off drugs. The vendor, now clean and thriving, is set to speak at Lambeth Palace. Meanwhile, William’s Homewards project is already helping hundreds escape homelessness—with 300 new homes in the pipeline.

    Then there’s Catherine Masters, who politely turned down a meeting with Queen Elizabeth II—because she wanted Prince William instead. The 109-year-old even gave him potato-mashing tips during a surprise visit in 2009. No fork, no respect.
    And finally, while Princess Catherine will one day be queen consort, her parents Carole and Michael Middleton are unlikely to receive any royal titles. Unlike Camilla’s family, they may be offered ceremonial roles—but nothing more.

  • Prince George Turns 12: Solo Flights, Eton Plans, and Blooding Rumors

    Prince George Turns 12: Solo Flights, Eton Plans, and Blooding Rumors
    Jul 22 2025
    Happy birthday to Prince George, who turns 12 today—and steps into a new phase of royal life. From now on, royal tradition dictates he can no longer travel with Prince William on official duties, in a move meant to safeguard the line of succession.
    As George grows up, so do the decisions about his future. All signs now point to Eton College as his next academic chapter. And when William becomes King, George is expected to inherit major titles—Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall—along with real responsibilities, including stewardship of a 67,000-acre estate.

    But one ancient custom may be off-limits. Reports suggest the royals may skip the grisly “blooding” ritual during summer hunts at Balmoral. While some insiders speculate George could be “initiated,” Princess Kate is said to have “put her foot down” on the matter.

    Also today: debunking a viral YouTube rumor that Prince William stripped Camilla’s grandson of a title after an alleged bullying incident involving George. The story, based entirely on AI-generated clickbait, has zero evidence—and no basis in fact.

  • Sophie Speaks, Harriet Glows, and the Queen’s Wedding Cake Lives On

    Sophie Speaks, Harriet Glows, and the Queen’s Wedding Cake Lives On
    Jul 21 2025
    Peter Phillips’ girlfriend Harriet Sperling may be new to royal life, but fans are already comparing her poise to Princess Catherine. With elegant turns at Wimbledon and the royal polo, Harriet has been praised for her grace, polish, and “perfect” sense of occasion. Could she be a future royal favorite?
    Meanwhile, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, reflects on inheriting the late Queen’s title and what it means to support the monarchy without always being front and centre. “It’s all very well being a secret weapon,” she jokes, “but if no one knows, maybe it’s too secret.” Sophie also hints the Royal Family’s shrinking ranks may push her further into the spotlight.

    Jennie Bond looks ahead to Donald Trump’s upcoming state visit—and says Kate will be “the icing on the cake” for a man as vain as Trump. But it’s Anne and Birgitte, she notes, who will carry the weight. They may not seek attention, but their steady service is vital to a monarchy stretched thin.

    And speaking of cake: a preserved slice of Queen Elizabeth II’s 1947 wedding fruitcake just sold at auction for nearly £3,000. The buyer plans to flambé part of it in rum aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia for his 65th birthday. Yes, really.

  • Has “Hot Beret Man” dethroned Major Hottie?

    Has “Hot Beret Man” dethroned Major Hottie?
    Jul 19 2025
    In the often isolating world of royal duty, King Charles is fortunate to have a small but steadfast inner circle—and none more vital than his sister, Princess Anne.
    While Queen Camilla is Charles’s unwavering partner in public and private life, it is the Princess Royal who serves as the King’s no-nonsense sounding board. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond describes Anne as “solid and completely reliable,” a woman who “knows him inside and out” and offers “infinitely sensible advice.” Their closeness was underscored at the coronation, when the King entrusted Anne with the historic role of Gold-Stick-in-Waiting.
    Also in this episode: King Charles’s former head gardener shares fond memories of the monarch’s hands-on gardening habits—and praises the entire royal family for their work ethic, even Harry. We also get a first look at plans for a new national memorial to Queen Elizabeth II in St James’s Park, featuring a translucent bridge inspired by her wedding tiara.

    And then: move over Major Hottie. A new royal bodyman is breaking the internet. Meet Sergeant Neil Mitchell—green beret, Commando Course graduate, and sudden viral crush after his cameo in a recent Instagram post. The King may have fired the cannon, but Mitchell fired up the comment section.
