“ENTITLED” Palace Insider STUNNED by Harry & Meghan | Queen’s Former Press Secretary BLASTS Sussexes
Kinsey Schofield UnfilteredShow Notes
In this episode of Crown and Conflict, Kinsey Schofield sits down with former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, Dickie Arbiter, to discuss his new book, On Duty with the Royals: The Inside Story of the Modern Monarchy, and what decades spent behind Palace walls can tell us about the royal crises unfolding today.
Dickie weighs in on King Charles’s latest clarification that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain non-working members of the Royal Family, the Sussexes’ frustration over how the announcement was handled, and why Buckingham Palace would have little reason to consult the couple over an arrangement established in 2020. He also addresses Team Sussex making their private exchanges with the Palace public, Harry’s accusations of royal briefing and leaking, and whether reconciliation with his father is possible when trust and confidentiality remain major concerns.
The conversation also examines Queen Elizabeth II’s absolute rejection of Harry and Meghan’s proposed “half-in, half-out” arrangement, why commercial independence and representing the Crown were considered incompatible, and whether Harry ultimately sacrificed the life he wanted to preserve his marriage.
Drawing on his first-hand experience during the breakdown of Charles and Diana’s marriage, Dickie challenges the popular narrative that Charles orchestrated a coordinated media campaign against Diana and reveals how the future King responded when those around him wanted to fight back.
Kinsey and Dickie also look ahead to the future of the monarchy under Prince William, Princess Catherine’s role as a stabilizing force, the lessons William learned from his parents’ turbulent marriage, and why his vision for a genuinely slimmed-down monarchy could look very different from his father’s reign.
