Prince William and Aunt Sophie’s rare joint outing at the Royal Cornwall Show had everyone buzzing as they celebrated rural life with gin, farming initiatives, and plenty of laughs. Their appearance highlighted their shared commitment to the Duchy of Cornwall and their growing public bond. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton’s return to royal duties after her half-term break brings fresh insight into her balanced approach to family and monarchy. Despite overwhelmingly positive press, Kate’s “ruthless” discipline and stoic resilience sparked new royal commentary.
Prince William also earned accolades from conservationists, including Robert Irwin, for his environmental advocacy. Yet, not all press was so glowing: Meghan Markle’s infamous twerking video continues to dominate headlines, while the Sussexes are under fire for their inconsistent messaging. Is it a PR disaster? Or just another stunt?
Finally, Buckingham Palace’s release of royal gifts adds a quirky touch to this week’s royal coverage, featuring everything from a £329,000 Rolls-Royce to an Amazonian feather crown. Join us as we break down the week’s royal highs and lows—from farm visits to twerking, and everything in between.(For uninterrupted, ad-free access to this program, visit Caloroga.com/plus!
