Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have generated controversy once again with their latest online rebranding. The couple recently launched a newly branded website called Sussex.com, replacing their previous Archewell webpage. The website includes their biographies and lists their recent activities. However, the use of their royal titles, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, has sparked controversy. Critics argue that they are trying to cash in on their connection to the royal family, while others speculate that they are attempting to rebrand themselves as more royal.
Joining Afua Hagan today to discuss all that and more are Royally Us podcast host Christine Ross, The Sun’s Royal Photographer Arthur Edwards and royal author and Editor in Chief of Majesty Magazine Ingrid Seward. The couple's decision to use their titles on their website has raised questions about their intentions. Some believe that they are trying to reclaim their connection to the royal family, while others see it as a strategic move to boost their image and monetise their brand. The controversy surrounding their use of titles highlights the ongoing tension between the couple and the royal family.
In addition to their website rebranding, Prince Harry and Meghan have also signed a new podcast deal with Lemonada, a production company known for its celebrity viral podcasts. The couple's podcast, Archewell Audio, is set to make a comeback with new episodes, and Meghan has hinted at other shows in the future. This new venture is seen as a way for the couple to make money and further establish their brand. While the couple's rebranding efforts may have received praise for their attention to detail and creativity, there are skeptics who question the frequent changes in their image. Some argue that the constant rebranding suggests a lack of direction and stability. Others believe that the couple's actions are driven by financial motives rather than a genuine desire to make a positive impact.

In this week's Royal Tea Sarah Hewson is joined by Newsweek's Jack Royston and TalkTV regular and Royal Commentator Afua Hagan to discuss a week of royal health scares, yet another tell-all royal book from the Daily Mail's Robert Hardman, and the idea that Prince Harry could go scorched earth with a second volume of his book 'Spare'. The recent announcement of the Princess of Wales undergoing surgery has sparked concerns among the public. However, it has been clarified that the procedure is not related to cancer and was a planned operation. This article aims to shed light on the planning behind the surgery, the implications for future engagements, and the importance of prioritizing health. Additionally, the controversy surrounding Harry and Meghan's claim about the late Queen's approval of their daughter's name is discussed. A new book alleges that the late Queen was infuriated by Harry and Meghan's claim that she had approved the name Lilibet for their daughter. While the exact cause of the Queen's anger is unclear, it is speculated that the issue arose from the couple's assertion that she had given her blessing without explicitly seeking her permission. The public nature of the dispute raises concerns about the breach of privacy and the potential impact on the young girl's life in the future.

This episode of The Royal Tea with Sarah Hewson, Robert Jobson and Afua Hagan tackles the ongoing controversy surrounding Prince Andrew's connection to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Specifically, they address the unsealing of court documents revealing allegations against Andrew and the implications for the Royal Family. Jobson says that the case is highly damaging to Andrew and the Royals, particularly with the emergence of new documents. He suggests that Andrew's decision not to fight the case was a mistake, and this choice continues to harm his public image.
Afua discusses the legal aspect, noting that Andrew's settlement with Virginia Giuffre, Epstein's accuser, does not imply guilt but admits the situation looks bad. They agree that while the evidence may be flimsy, Andrew's judgement, especially his connection with Epstein, is questionable. Jobson mentions the potential consequences, such as losing his royal lodge, but notes the complexities due to his lease.
The conversation shifts to Queen Camilla's new podcast, "The Queen's Reading Room," focusing on its format and content. Both commentators express disappointment that it doesn't feature Camilla interviewing authors, despite the podcast's name suggesting otherwise.
The discussion then moves to the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, celebrating her 42nd birthday. They note the low-key nature of the celebrations compared to previous years, reflecting on her evolving role within the Royal Family and her future responsibilities.
Finally, they touch on Prince Harry's induction as a "living legend of aviation," comparing his military service to other inductees like Buzz Aldrin. They find the award somewhat overstretched but acknowledge Harry's service.
Throughout, the speakers engage in a detailed analysis of the Royal Family's current challenges and the public perceptions shaped by recent events and media portrayals.

In the midst of ongoing controversy surrounding the monarchy, the most senior members of the Royal Family put on a united front at the diplomatic reception held at Buckingham Palace. The event, which saw the King and Queen welcoming ambassadors and diplomats, was a powerful display of unity and strength in the face of recent accusations and scandals. The timing of this reception, just days after the leak of Omid Scobie's book "Endgame," sent a clear message that the Royal Family is moving forward and not allowing themselves to be derailed by scandalous claims.
The photograph released after the reception showcased the King, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales in all their finery. This image of the four senior royals together was seen as a deliberate display of unity and determination to move on from the controversy. The reception itself was a grand affair, with over 500 members of the diplomatic corps hosted in the palace's state rooms. It was a reminder of the monarchy's role in diplomacy and their commitment to their duties.
Joining Sarah Hewson to discuss all that and more are The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson and The Evening Standard’s Royal Editor Robert Jobson.
