    Meghan Markle’s Treatment of Staff Questioned | King Charles’s Resilience & Catherine’s Grace

    This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield is joined by world-renowned royal biographer Hugo Vickers and Royals Extra on Substack founder Sally Bedell Smith to examine a pivotal moment for the monarchy and for the Sussexes. From behind palace gates to the heart of the headlines, the panel breaks down growing questions surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as 2026 begins under a cloud of instability. With further upheaval in their communications team, including the departures of James Holt and Meredith Maines, the Sussex brand faces renewed scrutiny over its direction, durability, and leadership. Attention then turns to the working monarchy, where King Charles III has overtaken Princess Anne as the hardest-working member of the Royal Family, carrying out an extraordinary 535 official engagements in 2025 while continuing cancer treatment. What does this milestone reveal about the future of the Crown, the King’s stamina, and the increasing demands of royal duty as his treatment is scaled back in the year ahead? The discussion also explores why the Princess of Wales has emerged as the monarchy’s most popular and influential figure after a challenging year. With polling placing her ahead of every other royal and palace insiders predicting she will be “a queen who truly listens,” the panel considers how Catherine’s quiet authority and emotional intelligence are shaping the future of the Firm. #KinseySchofield #RoyalNews #KingCharles #PrincessCatherine #KateMiddleton #MeghanMarkle #PrinceHarry Beam: Visit https://shopbeam.com/KINSEY and use code KINSEY to get our exclusive discount of up to 40% off.

    Meghan Markle was NEVER Committed to the Crown | Dickie Arbiter Reflects on Princess Diana & More

    This week on Crown and Conflict, Kinsey Schofield sits down with Dickie Arbiter, the former Press Secretary to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, for a revealing and deeply personal conversation about life at the very heart of the British monarchy. For twelve pivotal years, Dickie was responsible for managing the Crown’s public voice during some of its most destabilizing moments, including the breakdown of Charles and Diana’s marriage, the Windsor Castle fire, and the unprecedented global reaction to Princess Diana’s death.    Drawing from his memoir “On Duty with the Queen,” Dickie offers rare insight into how Queen Elizabeth II navigated crisis with discipline, restraint, and quiet humanity, even as public pressure intensified. He reflects on his unique relationship with the Queen, sharing intimate stories that range from his first unforgettable trip to Balmoral to moments of warmth, humor, and normalcy behind palace walls that few outsiders ever witnessed.    Looking to the present, Dickie compares the royal media strategies of the past with today’s social-media-driven landscape, weighing whether increased access has come at the cost of mystique and stability. He also shares his perspective on modern royal controversies, internal PR dynamics, and the ongoing challenges facing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s communications efforts. This episode offers a rare, authoritative look at the monarchy through the eyes of the man who once spoke for it.   Beam: Visit https://shopbeam.com/KINSEY and use code KINSEY to get our exclusive discount of up to 40% off.

    Prince Harry & Meghan Divorce Speculation, Cookbook, & Scripted Film - Maureen Callahan & Kinsey

    This week on Recollections May Vary, Kinsey Schofield and The Nerve’s Maureen Callahan unpack a fresh round of Harry and Meghan headlines.  This episode dives into the latest upheaval surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as two key members of their publicity team exit in quick succession. James Holt’s confirmed departure follows closely behind Meredith Maines stepping away as chief communications officer, continuing the long-running pattern of rapid staff turnover and raising fresh questions about what’s happening behind the scenes. We also discuss Meghan Markle’s newest venture — a forthcoming cookbook — and what it could signal about her next attempt at reinvention. Is this a strategic pivot or another branding gamble in an already crowded lifestyle space? Meanwhile, Prince Harry has reignited divorce speculation after being photographed on a low-key ski trip in Aspen with close friends while Meghan remained at home in Montecito amid renewed attention on her estrangement from her father. Sources suggest Harry was eager to escape mounting pressure, fueling rumors of tension within the marriage. Finally, we examine explosive claims that Meghan is considering a big-screen biopic about her love story with Prince Harry — one insiders say would portray the royal family in a deeply unflattering light. According to sources, Meghan believes a film could finally sway public opinion and tell their story in a way interviews and books never could, regardless of the backlash it might provoke.
