William Skips Christmas (Again) As Kate Preps For Carols & Charles Plans A Manure Lagoon
Podcast: Palace Intrigue : Meghan and Harry's Australia trip, King Charles visits USA - Royal Family gossipPublished On: Tue Dec 02 2025
Description: Prince William is reportedly set to avoid Christmas lunch with the King for the third year running, as insiders insist there’s “no controversy”—just a difficult year for the Waleses. Meanwhile, Kate’s interior design eye is on full display as Forest Lodge takes shape, complete with a dining table big enough for 24. But holiday harmony hits a snag when Charles pushes plans for a two-million-gallon manure lagoon near Anmer Hall, leaving locals—and likely the Waleses—holding their noses. We preview a packed week of royal duties, from William’s tech stop to the German state visit to Kate’s Christmas carol service. Plus: William’s “better wife” quip in Wales, his surprise pub lunch (and £25 tip), and King Charles finally stripping Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his last remaining honours as Tina Brown reveals the palace’s fears about what Andrew might do next.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.
