Today on Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, we are breaking down Meghan Markle’s most humiliating year yet. From a “surprise” Instagram comeback overshadowed by tragedy to the “Disaster Tourist” backlash at the Palisades Fire, 2025 was packed with tone-deaf moments, PR misfires, and brand blunders.    We walk through the biggest scandals: the mocked Netflix debut, the disastrous Vanity Fair profile, the failed As Ever launch, the cringe-filled Jamie Kern Lima interview, the HRH gift basket drama, Brooke Shields calling Meghan “too precious” in a podcast that mysteriously vanished, the Sentebale meltdown, the worm on the cookie plate, the raw turkey tutorial that earned her the nickname “Salmonella Sussex,” the Paris Fashion Week embarrassment, the Dodgers booing and the Kardashian photo-gate fiasco.    As Harry and Meghan land among the world’s most disliked celebrities, we ask the real questions. Will Meghan use her holiday special to reunite with her family, acknowledge her in-laws’ health battles or show us her children… or will it be more staged content and self-promotion?    Los Angeles-based royal reporter Kinsey Schofield brings you a fast, unfiltered recap of Meghan Markle’s messiest year on record.  Amallow: Head to https://amallow.com/KINSEY and use code Kinsey15 for 15% off.

This week on Crown and Conflict, Kinsey Schofield takes a closer look at a growing royal controversy. Meghan Markle is under fire for her Harper’s Bazaar December issue, where critics say she is cosplaying Princess Diana. The side-by-side comparisons are louder than ever, and the question remains: are these echoes of Diana organic or engineered? Kinsey sits down with celebrated biographer Sally Bedell Smith, author of “Diana: In Search of Herself,” for an insightful conversation about the myth making and image crafting behind the Sussex brand. Together they explore what is real, what is revision, and why the insistence on Diana parallels feels increasingly manipulative. From authenticity and emotional transparency to fashion, vulnerability, and public service, Kinsey and Sally break down what truly defined Diana and whether Meghan’s ongoing attempts to borrow her legacy hold up to scrutiny.

Kinsey and Kevin break down Meghan’s latest attempt to sculpt her narrative. From whispered meetings with Hollywood power players at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge to the grand New York brownstone where a house manager announces “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” to an empty room, the hosts unpack the contradictions in a piece that paints Meghan as both victim and visionary.

Was it archiving protocol or something else entirely? The latest insider accounts raise eyebrows. Plus, the hosts discuss Prince Harry’s newly announced keynote appearance in Toronto.

On this edition of Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, Radar is officially back on Sussex Divorce Watch and the latest reporting paints a picture of a couple held together by drama instead of love. Kinsey Schofield break down claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are sustained by chaos, scandal, and nonstop PR disasters, from poppy-gate to Kardashian picture-gate to Meghan’s Harper’s “BIZARRE” Princess Diana cosplay.  Sources say Harry wants a path back to the UK while Meghan builds a Hollywood brand, creating personal and professional separation that feels more like a trial split. We revisit years of rumors, solo trips, PR fights, and the accusations that Meghan is rewriting her origin story while Harry grows increasingly uncomfortable in her world.     With insiders warning of tension, creative separation, and even talk of post-divorce book proposals, the question becomes hard to ignore.

Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered takes a deep dive into Meghan Markle’s new Harper’s Bazaar interview featured in the December 2025/January 2026 issue. Kinsey reacts to the profile with sharp observations about how the author frames Meghan as a perpetual victim while conveniently skipping over key parts of her recent track record. There is no mention of Meghan’s termination from Spotify, the backlash to the first season of “With Love, Meghan,” or the total lack of interest surrounding season two. The author celebrates old deals while ignoring unanswered questions about Meghan’s future with Netflix and her estrangement from both her own family and Prince Harry’s.  Kinsey points out that the feature repeats the same mistake seen across so many of Meghan’s recent public appearances. There is no larger purpose or meaningful message, and the end result feels like another attempt to generate attention rather than say anything of value.  To borrow from Oprah, silence or silenced, it has been five years and Meghan still offers little substance when handed premium platforms like Harper’s Bazaar.  And in a moment that must be seen to be believed, Meghan pauses the interview to take a photo of her own face in the foam of her cappuccino.

Today on Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, join us for a rare behind the scenes look at life on the royal beat with Kate Mansey, Assistant Editor and Royal Editor for The Times. Kate takes us inside her Instagram feed and around the world as she covers the working royals up close. From Rio to Buckingham Palace to the Cenotaph, she shares the moments viewers never see and the stories behind the images that keep royal watchers fascinated. We talk about her fun encounter with Prince William in Brazil, where his charm and quick wit were on full display during an off the cuff moment on the water. Kate also walks us through the emotional stop at Christ the Redeemer, where William followed in Princess Diana’s footsteps and reflected on how deeply people remember her visit. Kate breaks down the celebrity reaction at Earthshot and why A-listers still melt when they meet a working royal. She also explains the shift in atmosphere when William moves from Earthshot to COP30 and whether his confidence carries through in a more crowded, activist driven arena. We discuss the King leading the country in a two-minute silence at the Cenotaph and why this image remains one of the most meaningful of the year for the royal family. And yes… we ask about the contrast. The working royals Kate covers every day are globetrotting on behalf of the Crown while Harry and Meghan chase Kardashian style attention. Is the difference in lifestyles as jarring from the press pack’s perspective as it seems from the outside?

This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield welcomes world-renowned author Hugo Vickers and former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, Dickie Arbiter. Together, they unpack a week of major royal headlines. Royal watchers are livid after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were photographed smiling and posing at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday celebration. Sources close to the palace say the outing is yet another example of why many believe the pair should not be invited back into the royal fold. Back in London, the atmosphere was far more somber. King Charles led the annual Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph, placing a wreath in tribute to those who lost their lives in service to their country. Queen Camilla and Catherine, Princess of Wales, watched the ceremony from a balcony dressed in traditional black. Prince William marked the day with a message to young people across the UK, encouraging them to reflect on the sacrifices made by generations before them. Learn more about your ad choices.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton joins Kinsey Schofield on Crown and Conflict to explore Winston Churchill’s lasting influence on the modern monarchy and how his leadership style continues to shape royal life today. Morton is the legendary author of “Diana: Her True Story,” the book that changed how the world viewed Princess Diana and the British royal family forever. He has also written bestsellers on Meghan Markle, Monica Lewinsky, Madonna, and Tom Cruise, always finding that perfect balance between pop culture and history. In this episode, Kinsey and Andrew dig into his latest book “Winston and the Windsors” to uncover Churchill’s loyalty to Queen Elizabeth II, his complicated relationship with the crown, and the lessons King Charles III may have learned from him. They explore why Winston Churchill was Queen Elizabeth’s favorite, the Queen Mother’s surprising wish to retire to Scotland, and how Churchill handled royal scandals like Edward and Wallis. Kinsey asks what Churchill might have thought of Harry and Meghan, and whether his philosophy of loyalty and restraint could have saved the Sussexes from some of their public missteps. The author also opens up about writing “Andrew The Playboy Prince,” and reveals how the former Duke of York reacted to his portrayal, and what it is really like to tell the stories behind palace walls.

On this week’s Heirs & Spares, Kinsey Schofield and Rupert Bell unpack a week of royal contrasts on both sides of the pond. Princess Catherine’s quiet Remembrance Day tribute was so visually at odd with Harry and Meghan chasing after Kris Jenner that it was comical. Meanwhile, Prince William showed off his powerful PR skills by dodging a pointed question about his shady uncle and brother.  New reports suggest that Prince William’s first acts as king could be stripping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their royal titles. Insiders tell NewsNation that William is “done” with his brother and has no plans to reconcile. The source adds that Harry has become unrecognizable since marrying Meghan. Bitter, jealous, and desperate for attention. Harry’s recent visit to a veterans care center in Toronto is also raising eyebrows. The prince referenced his royal relatives’ past visits, but was it genuine gratitude or another attempt to appear royal? We also break down Harry’s LA Dodgers hat apology. Plus, Meghan Markle returns to Hollywood with Amazon MGM’s Close Personal Friends. And yes, the Sussexes were spotted celebrating Kris Jenner’s birthday. Rupert Bell proclaims: “Tacky!” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of Recollections May Vary, Kinsey Schofield is joined by The Nerve’s Maureen Callahan to break down another bruising media cycle for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Meghan celebrated a rare win as Oprah Winfrey included her As Ever jam set in Oprah’s annual holiday gift guide. Yuck.  But while Meghan basked in the glow of Oprah’s endorsement, Prince Harry faced another round of backlash. Days after cheering for the Dodgers at the World Series, Harry sparked fury in Canada with news of his Toronto visit. Some Canadians accused him of disloyalty and arrogance. The trip’s timing also raised eyebrows, coinciding with Prince William’s high-profile trip to Brazil. Harry’s team insists it was not an attempt to upstage his brother, blaming tight security protocols for the overlapping schedules. Behind the scenes, Page Six reports growing tension between the Sussexes. Insiders say Harry is uncomfortable with Meghan’s social media posts featuring him and their children, and he’s reportedly unhappy that she continues to tie her brand to their royal past. Sources describe Harry as “aware” that such moves feel “Fergie-esque,” while others suggest the couple’s Hollywood charm has all but evaporated. Executives allegedly find them “hopeless in professional settings,” and the industry’s goodwill toward them has run dry. #PrinceWilliam #RoyalFamily #KingCharles #MeghanMarkle #PrinceHarry #KinseySchofield #MaureenCallahan  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Royally Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield welcomes historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, Dickie Arbiter, for expert insight into the biggest royal headlines. King Charles has formally stripped Prince Andrew of his “prince” title and ordered him to vacate Royal Lodge, his longtime Windsor residence. Palace insiders confirm that Andrew, now known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, has been served formal notice to surrender his lease on the property. Reports suggest he will move to a smaller home on the Sandringham estate after receiving a multi-million-pound payoff in exchange for giving up his lease. The decision follows renewed public scrutiny of Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, which reignited allegations the Duke has long denied. Anti-monarchy campaigners say the King’s move does not go far enough, calling for a full police investigation. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are making waves in Los Angeles. The couple was booed by the crowd at Dodger Stadium during the World Series, just as a new poll ranked Meghan the most disliked celebrity in America. Learn more about your ad choices.
