Royally Obsessed

What on earth is going on with the royals? In this week's episode, Prince William's absence from a memorial service causes an uproar, the shocking and tragic death of Lady Gabriella Windsor's husband, plus King Charles's emotions are on full display during his cancer recovery. And it's a major loss for the Sussexes' security, but they're at least vindicated over the NYC car chase. Also: Fergie's secret Hallmark cameo, an ode to Timothy Laurence, Meghan hits the town and more. Grab a cuppa and tune in!
