Kate Middleton returned to her royal duties for the deeply meaningful Remembrance Sunday service, marking a rare back-to-back public appearance since her challenging health journey this year. Standing alongside Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, she looked visibly moved as she watched King Charles and Prince William lay wreaths in honor of fallen soldiers at the Cenotaph. Dressed in a black coat adorned with three poppies and a Dragoon Guards brooch—a nod to her role as the regiment’s Colonel-in-Chief—Kate wore earrings that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth, adding a personal tribute to the day.A somber and visibly emotional King Charles led the Royal Family and the nation in honoring the fallen at the Remembrance Sunday service. The King, turning 76 this week and currently undergoing cancer treatment, observed the traditional two-minute silence before laying a wreath at the Cenotaph. Wearing the Royal Navy uniform of the Admiral of the Fleet, he paid his respects with a custom wreath resembling one used by King George VI. His heartfelt message on the wreath read: “In grateful remembrance of your service and sacrifice, Charles R.”Prince William, Princess Anne, and Prince Edward followed suit, each laying wreaths in tribute. Kate and Sophie watched from the Foreign Office balcony.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

In an open and reflective interview during his South African visit, Prince William candidly shared that this year has been “probably the hardest in my life,” as both his father and wife were diagnosed with cancer. Reflecting on the challenges, William remarked, “Honestly? It’s been dreadful. It’s probably been the hardest year in my life. So, trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult. But I’m so proud of my wife, I’m proud of my father, for handling the things that they have done. But from a personal family point of view, it’s been brutal.”Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

When Kate returns, she may do some solo trips - which would be fodder for divorce rumors if Meghan did it, but since it’s Kate its obviously a  wonderful idea that should be admired and we should all praise the couple for their independence.According to royal author Robert Jobson, Kate is planning an overseas tour with Prince William.  Jobson told Hello magazine, "Catherine may well do a couple of solo things so that William can stay at home with the kids,” “The King is bound to have had a conversation with Catherine about how buoyed he felt by his recent overseas tour, but she will do things her own way.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

The idea of Meghan Markle entering politics has always floated around, especially given her activism and moments of public advocacy. With Donald Trump returning to the White House, it’s stirred up fresh speculation about her political ambitions. Grant Harrold, who once served as a royal butler, gave a cautious take: he doesn’t find it impossible but does consider it a long shot. Melania Trump recently shared a surprising tidbit about her connection with then-Prince Charles, revealing that the two struck up a pen-pal relationship after bonding at a 2019 state banquet. Sitting next to Charles, Melania described their conversation as “an absolute pleasure,” reconnecting over shared interests and previous encounters from years ago in New York.It’s at this point in the podcast we’re supposed to recap wild speculation that Trump will have Harry kicked out of the US, with Harry and Meghan fleeing to Portugal. We’ll let you know when that’s a real thing.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Today could be a monumental day in the saga of Harry and Meghan.With Trump and Harry reportedly far from friends, there’s speculation that a future President Trump could, in theory, give the Duke of Montecito a one-way ticket out of the U.S. Royal watcher Hugo Vickers weighed in, saying, “I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Trump suddenly said, ‘Right, I’m sending Prince Harry out of this country.’” Other royal experts think the Sussexes new Portugal pad is just a vacation spot. Richard Fitzwilliams was quick to point out that Harry and Meghan probably aren’t looking to replace their California home base anytime soon. Fitzwilliams also didn’t hold back on calling Harry’s drug-use revelations in *Spare* “extremely foolish.” As for Trump actually making a scene by ejecting Harry, Fitzwilliams doubts it, saying it’s unlikely he’d want to risk a public fiasco with the royal family.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!
