Prince Harry and Meghan Markle travel back to Australia hoping to recreate the joy of their 2018 visit, but royal expert Kerry Parnell says the mood around the couple and the monarchy has darkened, coinciding with King Charles’s controversial US trip.
Reports say King Charles is weighing an abrupt abdication in favor of Prince William, citing health concerns and fallout from his brother Andrew’s arrest. Insiders claim the move could shield the monarchy’s legacy amid a palace scandal, with William expected to be crowned this summer to steer attention away from the controversy. The story centers on Globe’s coverage of Andrew’s arrest and potential palace cover-ups, and notes that these claims are based on insiders and may be unconfirmed.
In the latest series of The Crown, Prince William blames his father, Prince Charles, for Princess Diana's death. The tense conversation between the two portrays William expressing his anger towards Charles for not talking about Diana and for his role in her unhappiness.

King Charles expressed his "greatest sorrow and deepest regret" for Britain's "abhorrent and unjustifiable acts of violence" during the Colonial era in Kenya, but stopped short of a direct apology during a state banquet on his visit. The King and Queen enjoyed an eight-course banquet, including dishes such as lobster ravioli and salmon, while Camilla looked elegant in a blue tunic top and palazzo-style trousers. Kenya's president, William Ruto, made a strongly-worded address, hinting at further demands for reparations, while praising the King's leadership on the issue. Survivors and local rights groups are pressing for a full apology and reparations from the British government.
Petronella Wyatt writes that Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, is a loyal and informal figure who will help save the monarchy. Wyatt describes Camilla's loyalty and lack of stiff-backed formality as some of her most laudable and lovable characteristics. Wyatt also recounts her first meeting with Camilla and how she was nobody's idea of a future queen. However, Wyatt believes that Camilla's informal quality makes her the perfect consort for the 21st century. Camilla's fittings for the Coronation and her choice of jewels reflect a woman increasingly conscious of the image she wants to portray and her growing confidence in her role.
