Description: As the Epstein fallout intensifies around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Meghan Markle is reportedly urging Prince Harry to stay silent and avoid being dragged into what one royal expert calls the biggest royal crisis since Princess Diana’s death. Duncan Larcombe says Meghan will be wary of “guilt by association” and likely telling Harry, “keep your head down, don’t get involved.”Harry is said to be especially distressed for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, two of the few royals who maintained ties with him. Meanwhile, Meghan is preparing a carefully curated Valentine’s Day publicity blitz for her As Ever brand, built around romance and nostalgia — even as speculation swirls about the couple leading increasingly separate professional lives.Reports claim the Sussexes are on “different paths,” with Meghan focused on Hollywood and Harry on Invictus and UK commitments. There are even whispers of contingency plans should things unravel. Add in Kim Kardashian drama, an EastEnders jam joke, and accusations Meghan is in “meltdown mode,” and it’s another week of relentless Sussex headlines.Meanwhile, Prince William attempts to refocus attention on conservation efforts in Saudi Arabia — planting trees, praising ecological restoration projects and talking Arabian leopards — as the wider royal storm shows no sign of easing.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.
