Is the Royal Family Working Enough? Plus New Harry and Meghan Marriage Questions

A new analysis argues the Royal Family is carrying out far fewer official engagements even as taxpayer funding rises to record levels. We examine the numbers, Norman Baker’s criticism of Prince William’s workload, and the Palace’s argument that modern royal work is about long-term impact rather than ribbon cuttings. Then, former Archewell executive James Holt offers glowing praise for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as he prepares to leave the organization. We also look at fresh tabloid reports claiming Harry is uneasy about Meghan’s renewed friendship with Kris Jenner, and another round of speculation over whether the Sussexes’ increasingly separate professional lives are fueling new rumors about their marriage.
