A year of crowns, carriages, brand launches, and quiet (and not-so-quiet) royal drama. Step inside our 2025 Royal Round-Up for an end of year review of all things monarchy.
Prince William’s on a Brazilian eco-mission, Eugenie and Beatrice are hugging it out in Mayfair, Harry’s talking Invictus and half-in half-out rules, while Meghan’s pouring her heart (and mulled water) into her “As Ever” empire — and maybe her next starring role too. The royals are working, hugging, sipping their way through another week of palace politics and PR sparkle.
Prince Andrew is stripped of his titles, moves out of Royal Lodge to Sandringham with a six-figure payout, and faces mounting US scrutiny over his Epstein links. Here’s how the royal family — Charles, Camilla, William, Kate, Beatrice, Eugenie, and Fergie — are all navigating the fallout.
Princess Anne gallops through Dorset engagements, Charles and William go green with purpose, Kate quietly charms her way through an unannounced charity visit, and Harry faces a security scare in California. A perfect mix of duty, drama, and British royal flair.
Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew are back in the spotlight after a resurfaced email praising Jeffrey Epstein, charity fallout, and a controversial funeral laugh. Even Harry and Meghan are escaping the drama — the Yorks currently remain the royal family’s headline act.
Trump’s Windsor visit was a spectacle of royal pomp and transatlantic flair. From laying a wreath at Queen Elizabeth II’s tomb to enjoying a state banquet with King Charles, bagpipes, and military fanfare, the day blended solemn tribute, pageantry, and a touch of cheeky British charm.
Prince Harry returned to London and squeezed in a 55-minute catch-up with King Charles, cracked some awkward dad jokes at the WellChild Awards, and reignited chatter about family reconciliation. But with William still giving the cold shoulder, Meghan staying home in California, and Charles managing his health, this visit was more about testing the waters than healing the rift.
From Kate’s new bronde hair and George growing into her shoes, to bidding farewell to the quietly remarkable Duchess of Kent, and Harry’s impending UK visit — here’s everything you need to know about the royals recently, in one regal roundup.
With Love, Meghan season two has landed on Netflix — and it’s part craft fair, part royal confessional, with a sprinkle of celebrity name-dropping for good measure. Expect terrible roast chicken tales, flower sandwiches no one asked for, and Harry popping up like he’s lost in his own garden.
Prince William is reportedly keeping his guard up when it comes to Prince Harry, and one royal expert says Meghan Markle is the reason he’s not ready to wave the white flag.
