- This week, we learned that we’re not going to see any Meghan Markle and Prince Harry drama on season six of Netflix’s The Crown. Series creator Peter Morgan recently stated that the final season will cover the administrations of John Major and Tony Blair, which puts the end of the series roughly around 2007, so it won’t be covering the Sussexes’s relationship. “The Meghan and Harry story is nowhere near over yet,” he said. “And I’m happy that I’m never going to write it.”
- On Monday, Prince Harry participated in an interview with Black Lives Matter activist Patrick Hutchinson as part of GQ’s Heroes conference. During the virtual chat, which was shot from Harry’s new home in Montecito, the duo discussed the BLM movement and unconscious racial bias. Turns out, Harry was unaware of the latter, that is, until he began to step into his “wife’s shoes.”
- The same day, we found out that Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children have been spending some quality time in the kitchen. The shared Instagram of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (@Kensingtonroyal) revealed that the couple, along with their three kids, Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2, have been busy baking treats for war veterans and armed forces members to thank them for their service.

- Earlier this week, we learned that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are currently looking to hire a new permanent housekeeper to take care of their primary residence in London.

- On Tuesday, the Duke of Sussex stood up for himself against an article commenting on his current relationship with the British armed forces. The 35-year-old’s lawyers at London firm Schillings have sent a legal warning to the Mail on Sunday in regards to a recent post stating that he had not been in touch with the Royal Marines since stepping down as a senior member of the royal family. The statement reportedly referred to the article as “false and defamatory.”
