Prince William has long been considered the least devout of the senior royals, but this week we get to discuss the convenient timing of a new profile spotlighting his "quiet faith." Also this week: Sky News' Rhiannon Mills is heading to Buckingham Palace as media secretary, signaling how the institution wants to manage its press relationships going forward.Plus, a 2023 scheme involving Fergie, the late Queen's corgis, and a reality TV production company has surfaced (it is exactly what it sounds like) and reports that that Princess Beatrice is "privately navigating" distance from her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

This week, there’s one topic dominating the royal news cycle: newly released files from the US Dept. of Justice that implicate royals with Jeffrey Epstein.
