Crown and Controversy: Kate Middleton

Prince William and Prince George's commercial flight to Barcelona raises an extraordinary question about the future of the British monarchy: what would happen if Britain suddenly needed a regent for a child monarch?

Royal commentator Deep Crown examines the longstanding practice of keeping direct heirs to the throne on separate aircraft and explores the potential consequences under the Regency Act of 1937.

Could Prince Harry theoretically become regent? Why does Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor remain in the line of succession despite losing his royal titles? And why might Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, be a more practical choice than several relatives ahead of him?
Meanwhile, Scotland Yard reportedly reduces its policing commitments at Trooping the Colour and other major royal ceremonies.

Prince Harry travels between New York and London for business meetings and announces a new Travalyst partnership, while anonymous sources offer conflicting accounts of whether Prince William is willing to reconcile with his brother.

Plus, royal commentators question Harry and Meghan Markle's place in Britain's celebrity circles and speculate about the effect of Meghan's upcoming Australian television appearance on their children's schooling.

Questions this episode answers: Why are William and George supposed to fly separately? Could Prince Harry become regent? What is the Regency Act of 1937? Why is Andrew still in the royal line of succession? Could Prince Edward become regent? Is William willing to reconcile with Harry? What is Prince Harry doing with Travalyst?

A WEEK OF RECKONINGS: AN ARREST IN FLORIDA, A ROYAL SUMMONED TO A WITNESS BOX, AND A KING FACING AN EMPIRE’S DARKEST CHAPTER

Thomas Markle Sr., 82, was arrested by federal agents in Florida on Friday and charged in California with possession of child sexual abuse material, the Justice Department announced. He has not entered a plea and is presumed innocent. Mark Francis covers it briefly and carefully, including the institutional question at its centre: a 2019 letter that reached the Metropolitan Police, went no further, and is now before the police watchdog. Plus Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor summoned to the High Court as a witness in December — by most accounts the first royal witness summons since the 1870s — the King’s “shameful chapter” address on slavery in Antigua, and Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph.
