Palace Confidential

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their children have officially landed in the UK - but what do our royal experts say is the 'one real motivation' behind their move?

Rebecca English, the Daily Mail's Royal Editor, shuts down the notion that Prince William should be the 'bigger man' by extending a hand of friendship to the Sussexes. She also reiterates that the King did not know about his son's return until the Sunday before the announcement.

Meanwhile Alison Boshoff, the newspaper's Editor-at-Large, believes both Charles and William knew about the move months in advance. So who is telling the truth? Or does the truth lie somewhere in between?

Also on today's show is Ailsa Anderson, former press secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II. From her experience as a royal communications expert, Ailsa reveals why there has been a 'deafening silence' from William and Catherine on 'Reverse Megxit' - and why it is unlikely a statement will be issued at all.

PLUS find out why our experts are 'baffled' by a decision that may have already compromised Harry and Meghan's UK security.

AND details about King Charles and Queen Camilla's upcoming tour to the Caribbean!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the UK with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. This is everything we know so far.

Reacting to the shocking update, Richard Eden, the Daily Mail's Diary Editor, argues that the return of the Sussexes poses a 'major threat to the monarchy, leaving King Charles in a tricky position.

Columnist Sarah Vine agrees and suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be essentially setting up an 'alternative court' in the UK to rival Prince William and Catherine. She also takes a guess as to where the Sussexes might end up living and what schools would be a good fit for Archie and Lili.

But the big question is why? Why have Harry and Meghan moved their children back to the UK when they have been so vocal in the past about hating it? Has their move been spurred on by the King's health? Their failed 'American Dream'? Or are they trying to establish themselves in the UK before William takes the throne? We consider all of these theories on today's very special episode.

PLUS we discuss Queen Camilla breaking her silence on the King's cancer diagnosis.

AND why the late Queen Elizabeth II could not stand to be in the same room as Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, in 2016.

As the Royal Family lay low at Balmoral for the summer, all eyes are on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry who attended an event in British Columbia - and subsequently posted about it.

It soon became clear that Meghan was wearing the same diamond earrings Princess Diana once wore to the same province in 1968. Was this a deliberate choice? How does she benefit from 'cosplaying' as Diana? And is the Duchess of Sussex trying to stake a claim in her mother-in-laws's legacy before Catherine does? Our experts have plenty of thoughts...

To mark 10 years since Harry and Meghan started dating, Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine breaks down what might have been and where it all went wrong. She shares two fascinating stories about what the Duchess of Sussex is REALLY like behind closed doors - and how this is indicative of why she left The Firm.

Richard Eden, the Daily Mail's Diary Editor, also weighs in on reported plans for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's royal funeral, despite the ex-prince being stripped of his titles earlier this year.

AND where is James, Earl of Wessex, headed to university? Will any prospective brides be attempting a last-minute swap to follow him there?

PLUS we celebrate Princess Anne's 76th birthday with one of our world famous montages.

All this and more on a very special episode.
