Oonce the rumour mill gets into motion, there really is no stopping it. We saw this last year, with the endless tranches of speculation about the Princess of Wales’s health.
Then last week, there were fresh murmurings about a supposed high-stakes meeting between the Prince of Wales and his cousins. The story goes that William threatened to remove Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s titles if they failed to persuade their father, the disgraced Prince Andrew, to move out of Royal Lodge.
But there’s just one issue – Kensington Palace has flat-out denied that any meeting took place and any reports of threats of title loss are “factually inaccurate”. Thursday night's bombshell announcement also helped to settle the matter, as the Palace confirmed that the York sisters would be keeping their titles.
William and his family have, of course, spent the last week trying to take a break from the Andrew drama, as they enjoyed some family time with their three children over half term. And although his father has been keeping him up to date with negotiations, for the most part, the prince kept a healthy distance between himself and the final outcome due to his fondness for his cousins.
It’s no secret that he advocated a firm approach and is said to be "delighted" that his father finally came down on his brother with an iron fist. But what did happen this week was some clarity over the media scramble to Royal Lodge the previous week, after a tip-off that “there may be passing traffic”.
It wasn’t a case of removal vans being deployed; simply, the King had planned to speak to his brother following his two-day trip to the Vatican in an attempt to quell speculation.
However, this had the complete opposite effect, and when a truckload of snappers, TV crews and journalists rushed outside the gates, the meeting was cancelled in fear it would be blown out of proportion. And now, after a constant drip-drip of scandals and accusations, the King has forcibly removed Andrew's titles and honours.
Now known simply as Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the disgraced royal will soon start a new life as an outcast, alone on the Sandringham Estate. It's a milestone moment for the Royal Family, as they hope to finally draw a line under the Andrew problem and prevent him from overshadowing the Firm once and for all.
Meghan Markle appeared to break her own strict rule of not sharing pictures of her children’s faces online this week via a candid video showing the family gearing up for Halloween.
The sweet clip at a pumpkin farm accidentally featured Archie and Lilibet’s faces for the first time. Admittedly the glimpses were incredibly blurry, but Sussex fans were delighted to see their faces, as Meghan only ever shares photos of the backs of their heads, their faces concealed with emojis.
It was interesting then that just days later Harry appeared in a podcast warning about the dangers of positing pictures of children online. In a new episode of Hasan Minhak Doesn’t Know, the Duke said: “From what I’ve seen, what I’ve heard, what I’ve experienced, is you should be really really worried, concerned and cautious about putting photographs of your kids online.”
A week after praying publicly with the Pope, the King visited a landmark Hindu temple to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Draped in garlands, Charles and Camilla wished worshippers a belated Happy Diwali as they toured the impressive Hindu temple in West London.
It highlights just how important it is for the King to honour all faiths, even though he is head of the Church of England.
Charles has made it a central tenet of his reign to promote interfaith dialogue and bring communities together, especially as religious hate crimes are currently at record levels in England and Wales.
I don't like to talk about the same topic twice in my column, but there really is no escaping the Andrew drama at the moment. It was quite stark that MPs showed their willingness to get involved in a Royal Family matter, with Parliament’s spending watchdog raising a tranche of concerns over the prince’s lease arrangements last week.
In a letter to the Crown Estate, they demanded to know why Andrew is permitted to pay a mere “peppercorn rent” and wanted to know if taxpayers had paid for any refurbishments. And the Liberal Democrats had plotted to discuss Andrew’s future during their next Opposition Day debate – defying years of convention that MPs do not criticise the Royal Family.
The party has said it would debate officially removing Andrew’s dukedom and his continued use of Royal Lodge. Such a discussion in Parliament would have been humiliating for both the prince and the Palace.
There's no doubt that the vociferous voices of MPs helped push the Palace into action, with the King hoping to avoid any more public fallout.
This week marks the Prince of Wales’s fifth annual Earthshot Prize Awards in not-so-sunny Brazil (sadly there’s an orange storm alert in place and tropical downpours forecast).
But the weather won’t dampen William’s determination to highlight the groundbreaking environmental solutions that could make a real difference in restoring and protecting our planet.
If you’re a royalist, you’ll know how important Earthshot is to the prince, and I look forward to seeing that enthusiasm up close this week - albeit from under an umbrella.
