Harry's £60M Legal Bill, the Elton John Rift, and What Really Happened at Highgrove — Plus an Epstein Banner in Buckingham Palace

About this episode

The episode discusses Harry's legal costs, his relationship with Elton John, and a recent family gathering at Highgrove.

HARRY FACES A REPORTED £60M COSTS BILL AFTER LOSING TO THE DAILY MAIL — AND THE CHANEL CLASS THAT LET THE HIGHGROVE REUNION HAPPEN UNSEEN. After the High Court dismissed all claims against Associated Newspapers, reports put combined costs above sixty million dollars, with sources describing strain on the Sussexes' finances and on Harry's friendship with Elton John, a fellow claimant. Then Friday: Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet met the King and Queen at Highgrove, arriving unnoticed amid traffic for a Chanel embroidery event. No photograph, no statement, nothing structural changed. Mark Francis on the fallout, an Epstein banner in the Throne Room, and the King quietly rewriting his own job description.
