CORGIS, CLONES & CHAOS: THE ROYALS' WORST WEEK YET - The Week In UK Royal News with Mark Francis

Author: Caloroga Shark Media / The Daily Royal Family Podcast March 29, 2026 Duration: 11:08
King Charles walks a coastal path, cracks jokes about e-bikes, and may or may not be well enough to visit Trump in April. William rides a tandem bicycle with a Radio One presenter and raises over a million pounds for Comic Relief. Kate wears the Diana tiara and quietly gives up drinking. Dame Sarah Mullally becomes the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in 1,400 years, and William shows up to make clear he's paying attention. Andrew's police investigation widens. His daughters' marriages are reportedly under strain. Sarah Ferguson denies planning a corgi cloning reality show, which means someone had to ask her about it. The City of York prepares to strip her of an honour. Prince Anne is heckled at Oxford and walks straight past. Tom Bower's new book lands like a grenade, with claims about collapsed brand audits, a Sentebale confrontation, and a $250,000 Balenciaga arrangement masterminded by Meghan herself. Netflix says everything is fine. Multiple sources say it is not. Meghan launches a $255 box containing flowers, honey, and a baguette that the internet could not leave alone. And Harry and Meghan are developing another polo drama. The first one didn't work.
