In the world of royalty, sometimes the most shocking secrets are not in the headlines, but in the details that come to light over time. And that seems to be the case with Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II. A new book by biographer Meryle Secrest—a renowned author and Pulitzer Prize nominee—suggests that Margaret may have lived her entire life with fetal alcohol syndrome. According to this research, the cause would have been the Queen Mother’s alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The diagnosis was never officially made, and the syndrome was not known in the 1930s, when Margaret…

Summer in Palma de Mallorca is no longer a vacation break for Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía; it is now another stage in their process of institutional maturity. Far from those seasons focused on family photo shoots and leisurely afternoons, this year marks a turning point.

This step forward in their public profile coincides with…

On the anniversary of one of the most high-profile weddings of the 20th century, Earl Charles Spencer shared a previously unseen childhood photo of himself with his sister, Princess Diana, on social media. Rather than a wedding photo, Charles shared a black-and-white image showing the two children standing by the pool at Park House in Sandringham, wearing swimsuits adorned with swimming badges. “Diana and I both proudly showing off our swimming badges (sewn onto our swimming costumes),” he wrote, evoking the summers they shared under the terrifying—but talented—gaze of their instructor, Mrs. Lansdowne. The post coincided with July 29, the…

Prince Harry seems to be increasingly distancing himself from the royal spotlight, and not just by choice. Following the “failure” of his latest audiovisual projects, experts claim that his public image and appeal are in free fall. For commentator Robert Jobson, the duke’s future does not look bright: “He’ll be a bald 50-year-old prince. Someone formerly known as Prince, that’s what he will be.” The comment, as sarcastic as it is devastating, coincides with the imminent end of his contract with Netflix. The platform will not renew the $100 million deal that Harry and Meghan signed in 2020. Their productions…

For more than a decade, former British ambassador Sir David Manning was a key figure in training Princes William and Harry as representatives of the British monarchy abroad. Queen Elizabeth II herself personally chose him for this mission, convinced that his diplomatic experience and reserved nature would be essential in helping her grandsons find their place within the institution. Manning accepted the position under unusual conditions: he would be a part-time advisor without a salary. He did not want to be caught up in the formal machinery of the palace, but he was willing to offer his advice whenever they…

According to royal sources, the Duke of Sussex is deeply concerned that when his father King Charles passes away, Prince William might cut him off entirely. Without the King’s support, Harry could lose the little standing he still has in Britain—and with it, any hopes of a role or security presence. These anxieties surfaced as staff from both Harry’s and King Charles’s teams were spotted in a discreet meeting at the Royal Over-Seas League in London. Though it’s…
