Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered

This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield is joined by royal author and historian Hugo Vickers and former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, Dickie Arbiter, for a candid discussion about the latest controversies surrounding the Royal Family. As Earl Spencer continues to defend his explosive new Princess Diana book, insisting it is “not about settling scores” and even claiming he could have written something “much more devastating,” Kinsey, Hugo, and Dickie examine the timing, motivation, and potential consequences of reopening painful chapters from Diana’s life nearly three decades after her death. What does Spencer hope to accomplish, and how might these renewed attacks affect Prince William as he prepares for his future role as King? The panel also examines reports that Prince William is increasingly embracing Queen Elizabeth II’s famous “never complain, never explain” philosophy following an extraordinarily difficult period for his family. After the Princess of Wales and King Charles faced cancer diagnoses, has William emerged with a clearer sense of what deserves his attention and what simply does not? Meanwhile, Prince Harry reportedly plans to mark Remembrance Day privately rather than risk distracting from official royal commemorations, while Harry and Meghan face fresh criticism over their response to photographers appearing near their children’s school. Kinsey, Hugo, and Dickie separate legitimate security concerns from the increasingly heated rhetoric surrounding the Sussexes’ return to Britain. And finally, a much warmer royal moment… the Princess of Wales joins elderly residents for lunch in Sussex, sharing soup, crisps, and conversation while highlighting the importance of community and companionship.

In this episode of Recollections May Vary, Kinsey Schofield and Kevin O’Sullivan unpack another turbulent week for the Sussexes, as Meghan Markle’s former Hollywood super-agent Ari Emanuel delivers a remarkably blunt response when asked about her future career: “Here’s the great thing: I don’t have to think about that anymore.” Could Meghan also be preparing for another appearance at Paris Fashion Week? After seemingly teasing Paris on her As Ever Instagram account, Kinsey and Kevin revisit the Duchess of Sussex’s headline-making Balenciaga appearance in 2025, including designer Pierpaolo Piccioli’s revelation that Meghan contacted him herself about attending the show. His casual description of their relationship raised questions about the more elaborate narrative initially presented by the Sussex camp. They revisit the viral moments that followed, from the awkward air kiss and Kristin Scott Thomas encounter to Meghan appearing to laugh after a model stumbled and the controversial limousine photograph posted near the site of Princess Diana’s fatal crash. Now, reports suggesting Piccioli is leaving Balenciaga adding another unexpected twist to the story. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan’s attempt to establish a new life in Britain is already attracting unwanted attention. Newsweek reports that two international paparazzi photographers were spotted outside Archie and Lili’s school, prompting intervention from the Sussexes’ security team. Plus, amid reports of school-run drama, Meghan is apparently settling into her new surroundings with reformer Pilates classes, where she has reportedly become a “chatty and polite” regular. From Hollywood headaches and Paris Fashion Week speculation to paparazzi concerns and Pilates, Kinsey and Kevin separate the serious developments from the increasingly surreal details of the Sussexes’ latest chapter. #KinseySchofield #MeghanMarkle #PrinceHarry #RoyalFamily #RoyalNews #PrinceWilliam Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Heirs and Spares, Kinsey Schofield and Rupert Bell unpack the latest royal headlines from both sides of the Atlantic, as Prince William reportedly rejects multiple approaches to participate in projects marking the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death. While Prince Harry has explored potential projects surrounding the anniversary, William appears determined to avoid competing narratives about their mother and continues to embrace the late Queen Elizabeth II’s famous “never complain, never explain” approach. Kinsey and Rupert discuss whether the Prince of Wales’ silence is being mistaken for indifference, how the trauma of Catherine and King Charles’ cancer diagnoses reshaped William’s priorities, and why his increasingly firm and independent approach could offer important clues about the kind of King he intends to become. Meanwhile, Prince Harry takes to the skies in Canada, completing a charity skydive to honor a promise made to 102-year-old Second World War veteran Ed Marshall before immediately calling Meghan Markle after landing. Plus, reports suggest King Charles may be showing greater warmth toward Harry and Meghan following their return to the United Kingdom. Is the reported thaw evidence of genuine family reconciliation, or is there still a significant distinction between rebuilding a private relationship with the King and restoring trust within the monarchy?

In this episode of Reading Royals, Kinsey Schofield sits down with co-host and body language expert Scott Rouse to dive into Prince Harry’s return to the United Kingdom, his revealing new interviews, and a humiliating on-stage moment in New York City!  With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now back in Britain after six years in the United States, Scott examines Harry’s behavior as he discusses the move publicly. Does his body language match his words? What changes when an interviewer raises the potentially uncomfortable subject of his return to the UK? And what can Harry’s smiles, gestures and shifts from his usual baseline tell us about how he is processing the questions? The pair also break down Harry’s appearance at the Clinton Global Initiative, where a teleprompter failure appeared to bring his speech to an abrupt halt. Scott analyzes the prolonged pause, Harry’s hand moving into his pocket, his glances around the room and his eventual decision to simply declare, “And that’s it,” before leaving the stage. Was Harry experiencing cognitive load, a freeze response or simple confusion? And how much can body language really tell us about whether someone is embarrassed, frustrated or caught completely off guard? Then Kinsey turns the tables on herself. After participating in Hulu’s recent Harry and Meghan documentary, she shares a clip demonstrating the critical perspective she contributed to the program and invites Scott to analyze her instead. How does Kinsey’s body language change outside the familiar KSU studio? Are her gestures reinforcing her argument? And what happens when the person who usually asks the questions suddenly becomes the subject of the analysis? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield is joined by The Royal Chef Darren McGrady, who spent years cooking for Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, and bestselling royal biographer and fan favorite Tom Bower for a candid examination of Earl Spencer’s explosive new book, Princess Diana’s legacy, and the extraordinary new chapter unfolding within the Royal Family. As Spencer’s allegations continue to make headlines nearly 30 years after Diana’s death, Kinsey asks what can be established as fact, how much weight should be given to recollections made decades later, and whether Spencer’s latest account is consistent with what he has previously said publicly. Darren offers a rare personal perspective on the Diana he knew behind Palace walls, including his own encounters with Earl Spencer at Kensington Palace, while Tom examines Spencer’s credibility, contradictions, and the timing of the book. But the controversy arrives at an especially sensitive moment. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have moved their family back to the United Kingdom six years after leaving royal life for California, while remaining firmly outside the ranks of the working Royal Family. Could their return create the appearance of a rival royal court operating against King Charles, Prince William, and Princess Catherine? And with Harry maintaining a close relationship with his uncle, could Earl Spencer’s increasingly public defense of the Sussexes further complicate Harry’s attempts at reconciliation with his father and brother? The conversation ultimately turns to Prince William, who is not only Diana’s son but the future King. What happens when painful allegations involving his mother, father and monarchy are repeatedly reopened? How can William protect his mother’s memory without being dragged into another public battle over her life? And could attacks on the institution ultimately create consequences for the monarchy he will one day inherit? Kinsey, Darren, and Tom tackle the question at the heart of the controversy: why now? They examine where preserving Diana’s legacy ends and exploitation begins, whether endless books and documentaries risk distorting the woman behind the mythology, and who has the greatest responsibility to protect her memory three decades after her death. #KinseySchofield #PrinceWilliam #KingCharles #EarlSpencer #RoyalFamily #PrinceHarry #MeghanMarkle #TomBower #RoyalNews Learn more about your ad choices.
