This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield is joined by renowned royal author and historian Hugo Vickers and Dickie Arbiter, former press secretary to both Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, for an insider’s perspective on the monarchy’s biggest headlines.King Charles has arrived in the Bahamas amid renewed demands for an apology and reparations over Britain’s historical involvement in the slave trade. While the monarch has acknowledged the suffering of the past, financial compensation remains off the table. Despite predictions of controversy, sources on the ground suggest the visit has been overwhelmingly positive. Hugo Vickers, who helped establish the Queen’s Walkway in Windsor as chairman of the Commonwealth Walkway Trust, offers his perspective on the monarchy’s relationship with the Commonwealth, while Dickie Arbiter provides insight into how the Palace navigates politically sensitive royal tours.Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle insist they have no intention of overshadowing King Charles or Prince William as they continue their return to the British spotlight. Following criticism over the timing of their recent appearances and interviews, sources close to the Sussexes claim the couple is being more considerate of the royal calendar. But with another public appearance reportedly planned before Christmas and no family reconciliation in sight, are Harry and Meghan genuinely trying to avoid controversy, or are they competing for the attention traditionally reserved for working royals?Plus, a delightful update to Prince William’s hilarious story about being mistaken for the legendary singer Prince! The young man responsible for the mix-up has now written to Kensington Palace, offering a sweet apology after genuinely believing the future King was there to perform “Purple Rain.” The panel reflects on William’s growing confidence, his ability to connect with the public, and the lighter moments that make the monarchy relatable.Learn more about your ad choices.
