We threw our royal news notes in the trash, because obviously we have to talk about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. The real question remains: we know the corgis will be OK, but what of the teddy bear collection?

As summer winds up, we cover the Sussex Netflix saga, Norway’s royal-adjacent jerk, the latest from Thailand, the French state visit, and more.

Encore!

A round-up of the latest royal gossip, mostly about Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Because despite their stated need for privacy, they seem compelled to do things to grab headlines and attention. Featuring pregnant twerking, bizarre acts of performative motherhood, jam (of course), and Harry's doomed lawsuit. Bonus appearance by the Pope, the royal family of Monaco, and the House of Thurn and Taxis.

With the launch of the Duchess of Sussex's new Netflix show just around the corner, it's time for a Sussex-update. There's jam (of course), that Vanity Fair article, PR blunders, and our bingo card for the "With Love, Meghan" drinking game.

Still no ARO jam in Anne's stocking and no Christmas pudding for Andrew, but at least the Kaspar Hauser conspiracy was finally debunked. We know you were all waiting breathlessly.

Because sometimes you just keep bringing up downer subjects and dealing with them in a borderline-inappropriate way. Including brief discussions of sarcophagi, Remembrance Day, Prince Andrew, accidental slumlords, and an imperial toilet.
