James Wessex, Prince Edward and Sophie’s son and the late Queen’s youngest grandchild, is set to attend the Royal Agricultural University this coming autumn.

The 18 year old was seen working as a farm hand and driving a tractor this summer, apparently in preparation for his chosen career. James has chosen to study Rural Land and Property Management.

He follows in William’s footsteps, who did an agricultural and land management course at the university of Cambridge.

It seems James will not use the Prince title, which he was entitled to do so once he turned 18, and is determined to carve out his own path. Mum Sophie told reporters that they had eschewed HRHs and the Prince and Princess titles for their children, to prepare them for the fact that they would need to make their own way.

Edward and Sophie have apparently raised their kids right. They are staying out of the limelight and pursuing university degrees for their chosen careers.

Eugenie’s daughter is named Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank.

Adelaide is the name of two queens in both England and Portugal, while Elizabeth is presumably from the late Queen.

The doting Brooksbanks couple hasn’t revealed the origin of Annina, which seems to be a name close to both of them.

I think it’s really sweet that they all like the same dress. And can fit!

Honestly though, who wouldn’t want to watch CatVideoFest 2026??

In general I think documentaries don’t do well at the box office. My kid doesn’t even go to see the latest superhero movies, he waits till they’re on TV. It’ll be even more true for documentaries. It might not necessarily be because the Sussex name is attached.

But executives never learn. They look at the Sussexes’ notoriety and think that it could bring attention to their charity, their product, or their movie, and it does. Yet does it bring success to said product, charity, or movie?

Wonder if this struck fear into the heart of a certain red haired ex royal

More than a few have predicted that MasterChef judge Poh Ling Yeow would be asked to give a statement saying she and Meghan are on good terms… and she has.

Yeow made the remarks on a radio talk show and called Meghan “a model citizen” who “knows her food.”

While it’s good for Yeow to give her side of the story, one can’t help but feel that Meghan may have asked her to step up.

After all, the resigned ex royal has always clapped back on rumours in the past. She had been advised by Palace staff not to pay attention to every negative headline but felt this meant she’d not been sufficiently defended.

Dr Sophie Chandauka, Sentebale chair, had exposed the “Sussex machine” when she said she was asked to clarify a moment in which she and Meghan jostled for position at a polo trophy ceremony.

Eugenie announcing the birth of her daughter on Meghan’s 45th birthday is causing some merriment amongst the online royal watchers. Some think it could be ‘revenge’ for Meghan announcing her first pregnancy on Eugenie and Jack Brooksbanks’ wedding on 12 October 2018.

We know they’re close. Meghan claimed she was friends with Eugenie before she met Harry and there’s speculation that it was Eugenie who introduced the two.

Meghan and Harry recently spent time in Portugal and again it’s thought to be at, or near to, Jack and Eugenie’s home in Lisbon. Before this, the Brooksbanks rented Frogmore Cottage from the Sussexes.

In turn, Eugenie and Jack were visitors at Montecito in 2022.

The Sussexes have not been vocal about renouncing Eugenie and Beatrice’s outcast father Andrew. Andrew was stripped of his titles in October 2025 in light of new information on his questionable conduct as trade envoy, not to mention his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew’s name was in the headlines again after the release of Virginia Giuffre’s book where she wrote details of their sexual encounter when she was 17. Giuffre had committed suicide in April 2025 due to ongoing personal struggles.

Let the show go on…

The kids are so grown up!

Meghan must be feeling the heat again as her words on the recent Master Chef episode are being scrutinised.

Meg stated that growing up in California, she got used to farm-to-table food and watched her mom Doria cooking meals.

However in her own show With Love, Meghan, she’d claimed she was a “latchkey kid” who ate fast food and TV tray dinners.

X user Canellecitadelle points out that Doria seemed absent for most of Meghan’s childhood and would not have been likely to have made lots of home cooked meals. Dad Thomas had raised her almost as a solo parent and they often ate out at restaurants after work.

Few excerpts as seen on X (Royal News Network)

Meghan is introduced as a global icon and philanthropist with her own lifestyle brand.

Did judges Poh Ling Yeow and Sofia Levin not get the memo that she’s Meghan Sussex now? 😁 Perhaps Meghan saw how badly this went down last time after she corrected Mindy Kaling with “It’s funny you keep calling me Meghan Markle, I’m Sussex now”…

There’s a light moment where Sofia tells Meghan she has “a terrible poker face.”

Perhaps this explains why Meghan praises the banana bread that Poh Ling Yeow made with a serious expression. “You’ll have to share the recipe with me,” she asks Poh. Years back, Meghan was said to have made banana bread in her and Harry’s royal tour in Australia.

A brief clip of Meghan seemingly frowning at Australian Master Chef Poh Ling Yeow has fired up the rumour that there was friction between the two.

A promotional video of Meghan’s stint on the show reveals several interactions with Poh. In one short segment, Meghan is looking at Poh with what seemed to be an unhappy expression.

This could simply be just a case of having RBF (‘resting b**** face’) which many people (myself included) possess.

Still, reports stated there was plenty of footage which was removed for the final show, allegedly because interactions between the two ‘fell flat’ (see previous post). Some wonder what the final screening looks like.

It also doesn’t help that Meghan has plenty of clips revealing her ‘mask slips,’ in which she seems to be glaring at others. One famous instance was when she was interrupted by her mother Doria during a cooking activity for the Grenfell Tower victims.

Meg also has her share of awkward interactions. She had corrected Mindy Kaling on her show ‘With Love Meghan’ about addressing Meg as Sussex rather than Markle. Many felt that this had embarrassed Mindy unnecessarily.

Perhaps producers sprinkled in a harmless moment in which Meghan was concentrating on what Poh was saying in order to stoke curiosity among the viewers.

A source told People magazine that reports of Meghan upsetting Master Chef judge Poh Ling Yeow are false.

Poh was supposedly upset after rumours spread that Meghan was frustrated at Poh for using the word ‘royalty’ during a promo. The source clarifies this is not the case and that Meghan had a great time on set.

This isn’t the first time that Meghan was said to have clashed with people within her circle.

Most famously, she had ‘made Kate cry’ during the preparations to her wedding to Harry in 2018. Meghan later claimed in her interview with Oprah that it was actually her sister in law who made her cry.

At least the source didn’t say that it was Poh who’d made Meg upset. That’s progress!

And to it begins.

Katie Nichols says a source close to the Sussexes has divulged a few details of the secret meeting with Charles, including the fact Camilla was told of it at the last minute.

Bet that source is Meg herself because she can’t help but tattle on how important she and her kids are to have a private audience with the King.

Everybody’s been saying this would happen…
