Welcome to this week’s episode of ‘adventures in royalty with Meghan and Harry’, a high-paced reality TV show where the cast would prefer not to participate, but the public insists that they do, and will go to great lengths to make it happen.

The Royal Family, for all their airs and graces, seem to routinely find themselves at the centre of some or other scandal, mostly thanks to a mysterious ‘palace insider’ who went rogue, if they exist at all, and spoke to the tabloids.

One of the things that the public really loves talking about is Meghan and Harry’s wedding, evident in the fact that it’s been a few years, there’s a baby now, and they don’t even live in the United Kingdom anymore, but it still comes up.

Notice that Kate and William’s wedding is old news, and for the most part, was treated with reverence.

Earlier this year, the public was yanked back into a discussion about stockings and whether or not Meghan had a fight with Kate over them before the wedding.

Gripping stuff.

Now, if you please, let’s rehash what was commonly referred to as ‘Tiaragate’, with The Telegraph.

Unsurprisingly, ‘Tiaragate’ has resurfaced thanks to one of the recently released books on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Finding Freedom.

Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claimed in the book that the following altercation took place while Meghan was being fitted for her tiara before the wedding.

Describing a dispute over the Duchess’s wedding tiara, in which he accused the Queen’s personal dresser Angela Kelly of failing to accommodate suitable trial fittings, Mr Scobie said: “Harry had to intervene.

“He called his grandmother and said, ‘I don’t know what the hell is going on. But this woman needs to make this work for my future wife’.”

The incident was described in a news report as an “astonishing outburst”. Now a source has come forward (yes, another mysterious source), to say that “the suggestion the Duke ‘yelled’ at his grandmother is totally untrue, and completely ridiculous, as is the suggestion that he said ‘what the hell’”.

Scobie also feels like it’s worth going over that time that William and Harry allegedly weren’t getting along, which broke up the ridiculously named ‘fab four’ (the brothers and their wives).

While we’re on the topic of the ‘fab four’, The Telegraph says that Meghan and Harry have been replaced, as if they were part of some sort of band or superhero collective.

The recent marriage of Thomas van Straubenzee to Lucy Lanigan-O’Keeffe would have been unremarkable were it not for their rumoured Royal matchmakers.

Having been besties with van Straubenzee since their Ludgrove School days, Prince William and his wife Kate are suspected to have introduced the property consultant to his blooming bride – who just happens to teach at the London school attended by Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

They’re ‘besties’, guys.

As I’m sure you’ve guessed, the press reckons that Thomas van Straubenzee and Lucy Lanigan-O’Keeffe are the new Meghan and Harry. You can see them below lurking behind Kate, with Thomas stood next to Lucy.

Thomas van Straubenzee is godfather to Princess Charlotte.

As Joe Little, the managing editor of Majesty magazine put it, “they will certainly be playing an important role in William and Kate’s lives in the Sussexes’ absence”.

Good for them.
