Sunday prison visit: Haakon, Mette-Marit, and Sverre Magnus photographed arriving at Oslo Prison to see Marius. Appeals court rules Marius remains in detention until June verdict, rejects release request. Court cites "strong probability" of reoffending, points to Valentine's Day restraining order breach while in custody (flowers and letter to Frogner woman through third party). Defense argued media attention reduced risk, court rejected: coverage "has not prevented accused from being suspected of new criminal acts." Mette-Marit surprise return to public duties Tuesday welcoming Belgian royals, first engagement in two months despite health deterioration. NRK "Debatten" reveals Palace received interview questions week in advance.Media critic Anki Gerhardsen: "managed communications exercise" not journalistic scrutiny. Attorney Gunhild Vehusheia (Aftenposten): interview placed too much focus on Mette-Marit's regret, too little on Epstein's victims. Repeated phrases "I didn't know," "I don't remember" are "exactly the kinds of explanations from people on edges of abuse scandals who chose not to look too closely." Commentator Carl-Erik Grimstad: Mette-Marit in "pitch-black tunnel," Palace chose "over-managed communications strategy" when honesty needed.Palace clarifies email account no longer exists (leaked 2012).

King Charles walks a coastal path, cracks jokes about e-bikes, and may or may not be well enough to visit Trump in April.

Dame Sarah Mullally becomes the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in 1,400 years, and William shows up to make clear he's paying attention. Andrew's police investigation widens. His daughters' marriages are reportedly under strain. Sarah Ferguson denies planning a corgi cloning reality show, which means someone had to ask her about it. The City of York prepares to strip her of an honour. Prince Anne is heckled at Oxford and walks straight past. Tom Bower's new book lands like a grenade, with claims about collapsed brand audits, a Sentebale confrontation, and a $250,000 Balenciaga arrangement masterminded by Meghan herself.
