What Just Happened?

Meghan Markle’s latest alleged ultimatum to Prince Harry sets the tone for a royals-only first half-hour, as Kevin O’Sullivan, Samara Gill and Ash Gould tear into the fallout from Prince Andrew’s arrest and the widening Epstein shadow now hanging over the Yorks. Kevin claims Meghan has ordered Harry to cut ties with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie as scrutiny intensifies around their past proximity to Epstein, with the panel stressing the sisters were “19 and 20” not “little girls” when they were taken to Epstein’s Florida mansion, and arguing the optics around money, travel and privilege are “not a good look”. Samara is blunt: “I’ve got no sympathy for them,” while Kevin says Meghan “spotted the problem” with the Yorks early and is now in full image control mode.Then the conversation detonates into breaking news: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, with Kevin calling it “the biggest story I’ve ever covered” and Samara warning the stakes are huge: “The maximum sentence for that is a lifetime of imprisonment.” As police search property and questions swirl about who knew what, from royal protection officers to palace insiders, Samara says “this wasn’t a one man show… an entire apparatus”, while Ash fears the crisis could snowball upwards: “Did the King know anything about it?” The trio repeatedly stress it’s allegations and no charges, but the theme is unmistakable: a monarchy facing a trust test, and a royal soap opera getting darker by the day.
