This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield breaks down the biggest headlines with royal commentators Charles Rae and Duncan Larcombe.
King Charles visited the Fortnum and Mason kitchens as he marked the second anniversary of his Coronation Food Project, an initiative that has already helped deliver millions of meals across the UK.

The conversation turns to Meghan Markle’s new holiday special and her Harper’s Bazaar cover. The group dissects Meghan’s insistence of using her title to promote commercial ventures.
Finally, Prince Harry’s upcoming keynote appearance in Toronto is questioned. How does it fit into his evolving post royal identity? Is it appropriate?

Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered takes a deep dive into Meghan Markle’s new Harper’s Bazaar interview featured in the December 2025/January 2026 issue. Kinsey reacts to the profile with sharp observations about how the author frames Meghan as a perpetual victim while conveniently skipping over key parts of her recent track record. There is no mention of Meghan’s termination from Spotify, the backlash to the first season of “With Love, Meghan,” or the total lack of interest surrounding season two. The author celebrates old deals while ignoring unanswered questions about Meghan’s future with Netflix and her estrangement from both her own family and Prince Harry’s.
Kinsey points out that the feature repeats the same mistake seen across so many of Meghan’s recent public appearances. There is no larger purpose or meaningful message, and the end result feels like another attempt to generate attention rather than say anything of value.
To borrow from Oprah, silence or silenced, it has been five years and Meghan still offers little substance when handed premium platforms like Harper’s Bazaar.
And in a moment that must be seen to be believed, Meghan pauses the interview to take a photo of her own face in the foam of her cappuccino.

We also revisit the anonymous message Bethenny says urged her to delete her now infamous Oprah interview commentary.

Back in Montecito, insiders claim Meghan is seething as Catherine secures Kate Winslet for this year’s Christmas carol concert, a polished and heartfelt project already earning praise for its warmth and star power.

Today on Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, join us for a rare behind the scenes look at life on the royal beat with Kate Mansey, Assistant Editor and Royal Editor for The Times.
Kate takes us inside her Instagram feed and around the world as she covers the working royals up close. From Rio to Buckingham Palace to the Cenotaph, she shares the moments viewers never see and the stories behind the images that keep royal watchers fascinated.
We talk about her fun encounter with Prince William in Brazil, where his charm and quick wit were on full display during an off the cuff moment on the water. Kate also walks us through the emotional stop at Christ the Redeemer, where William followed in Princess Diana’s footsteps and reflected on how deeply people remember her visit.
Kate breaks down the celebrity reaction at Earthshot and why A-listers still melt when they meet a working royal. She also explains the shift in atmosphere when William moves from Earthshot to COP30 and whether his confidence carries through in a more crowded, activist driven arena.
We discuss the King leading the country in a two-minute silence at the Cenotaph and why this image remains one of the most meaningful of the year for the royal family.
And yes… we ask about the contrast. The working royals Kate covers every day are globetrotting on behalf of the Crown while Harry and Meghan chase Kardashian style attention. Is the difference in lifestyles as jarring from the press pack’s perspective as it seems from the outside?

This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield welcomes world-renowned author Hugo Vickers and former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, Dickie Arbiter. Together, they unpack a week of major royal headlines.
Royal watchers are livid after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were photographed smiling and posing at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday celebration. Sources close to the palace say the outing is yet another example of why many believe the pair should not be invited back into the royal fold.
Back in London, the atmosphere was far more somber. King Charles led the annual Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph, placing a wreath in tribute to those who lost their lives in service to their country.
Queen Camilla and Catherine, Princess of Wales, watched the ceremony from a balcony dressed in traditional black.
Prince William marked the day with a message to young people across the UK, encouraging them to reflect on the sacrifices made by generations before them.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton joins Kinsey Schofield on Crown and Conflict to explore Winston Churchill’s lasting influence on the modern monarchy and how his leadership style continues to shape royal life today.
Morton is the legendary author of “Diana: Her True Story,” the book that changed how the world viewed Princess Diana and the British royal family forever. He has also written bestsellers on Meghan Markle, Monica Lewinsky, Madonna, and Tom Cruise, always finding that perfect balance between pop culture and history.
In this episode, Kinsey and Andrew dig into his latest book “Winston and the Windsors” to uncover Churchill’s loyalty to Queen Elizabeth II, his complicated relationship with the crown, and the lessons King Charles III may have learned from him. They explore why Winston Churchill was Queen Elizabeth’s favorite, the Queen Mother’s surprising wish to retire to Scotland, and how Churchill handled royal scandals like Edward and Wallis. Kinsey asks what Churchill might have thought of Harry and Meghan, and whether his philosophy of loyalty and restraint could have saved the Sussexes from some of their public missteps.
The author also opens up about writing “Andrew The Playboy Prince,” and reveals how the former Duke of York reacted to his portrayal, and what it is really like to tell the stories behind palace walls.

On this week’s Heirs & Spares, Kinsey Schofield and Rupert Bell unpack a week of royal contrasts on both sides of the pond. Princess Catherine’s quiet Remembrance Day tribute was so visually at odd with Harry and Meghan chasing after Kris Jenner that it was comical. Meanwhile, Prince William showed off his powerful PR skills by dodging a pointed question about his shady uncle and brother.
New reports suggest that Prince William’s first acts as king could be stripping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their royal titles. Insiders tell NewsNation that William is “done” with his brother and has no plans to reconcile. The source adds that Harry has become unrecognizable since marrying Meghan. Bitter, jealous, and desperate for attention.
Harry’s recent visit to a veterans care center in Toronto is also raising eyebrows. The prince referenced his royal relatives’ past visits, but was it genuine gratitude or another attempt to appear royal?
We also break down Harry’s LA Dodgers hat apology. Plus, Meghan Markle returns to Hollywood with Amazon MGM’s Close Personal Friends. And yes, the Sussexes were spotted celebrating Kris Jenner’s birthday. Rupert Bell proclaims: “Tacky!”

On this episode of Recollections May Vary, Kinsey Schofield is joined by The Nerve’s Maureen Callahan to break down another bruising media cycle for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Meghan celebrated a rare win as Oprah Winfrey included her As Ever jam set in Oprah’s annual holiday gift guide. Yuck.
But while Meghan basked in the glow of Oprah’s endorsement, Prince Harry faced another round of backlash. Days after cheering for the Dodgers at the World Series, Harry sparked fury in Canada with news of his Toronto visit. Some Canadians accused him of disloyalty and arrogance. The trip’s timing also raised eyebrows, coinciding with Prince William’s high-profile trip to Brazil. Harry’s team insists it was not an attempt to upstage his brother, blaming tight security protocols for the overlapping schedules.
Behind the scenes, Page Six reports growing tension between the Sussexes. Insiders say Harry is uncomfortable with Meghan’s social media posts featuring him and their children, and he’s reportedly unhappy that she continues to tie her brand to their royal past. Sources describe Harry as “aware” that such moves feel “Fergie-esque,” while others suggest the couple’s Hollywood charm has all but evaporated. Executives allegedly find them “hopeless in professional settings,” and the industry’s goodwill toward them has run dry.

This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield welcomes historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, Dickie Arbiter, for expert insight into the biggest royal headlines.
King Charles has formally stripped Prince Andrew of his “prince” title and ordered him to vacate Royal Lodge, his longtime Windsor residence.
Palace insiders confirm that Andrew, now known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, has been served formal notice to surrender his lease on the property. Reports suggest he will move to a smaller home on the Sandringham estate after receiving a multi-million-pound payoff in exchange for giving up his lease.
The decision follows renewed public scrutiny of Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, which reignited allegations the Duke has long denied. Anti-monarchy campaigners say the King’s move does not go far enough, calling for a full police investigation.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are making waves in Los Angeles. The couple was booed by the crowd at Dodger Stadium during the World Series, just as a new poll ranked Meghan the most disliked celebrity in America.

This week on Crown and Conflict, what began as a year-end recap of Meghan Markle’s 2025 takes a dramatic turn with breaking news: Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been formally stripped of his titles and sensationally evicted from Royal Lodge.
Critically acclaimed investigative author Tom Bower joins Kinsey Schofield to react, describing Andrew’s advisors as “clearly useless” and suggesting the King was left with no choice after years of his brother evading serious consequences.
The conversation also explores the highs and lows of Meghan Markle’s professional year. The author of ‘Revenge’ argues that while Meghan has tremendous ambition, she often falters in execution. Bower teases the March 2026 release of his latest Sussex book, filled with shocking new revelations, and bluntly declares, “There’s nothing human about [Meghan], because she’s a narcissist.”
