## Resource

Meghan Markle finds herself back in the headlines after a seemingly simple social media post about her family’s favorite As Ever preserves reignites discussion about her long estrangement from father Thomas Markle. We also look at Meghan’s latest lifestyle advice, the timing of her new candle launch, her surprise gift to a prominent social media supporter, and fresh questions about the performance of the As Ever brand following reports of declining website traffic and slipping poll numbers. Meanwhile, Prince Harry is spotted enjoying a solo evening in Los Angeles with chef José Andrés, while new reports suggest he believes Prince William may be behind his apparent exclusion from Peter Phillips’ upcoming wedding. Plus, we examine a theory gaining traction online that California child influencer laws may play a role in Harry and Meghan’s decision to keep Archie and Lilibet largely out of public view, and why the Sussex approach differs so dramatically from that of William and Catherine. Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor. New episodes every day.
