Meghan Markle has lost her tenth publicist in five years after making an “incredibly stupid” blunder in a video, according to a royal biographer. Emily Robinson was understood to have become the Sussexes’ tenth publicist in five years when she joined in June. But, sources say the Sussexes’ latest director of communications decided to leave a few weeks ago.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward said there must have been disagreements between the publicist’s advice and what the Sussexes believed they should have done. She pointed to Meghan’s trip to Paris Fashion Week, when she made an “incredibly stupid” mistake, posting a video of her driving through the French capital which led to speculation.
Ingrid told the Sun: “So, of course, everyone said, oh, she’s following the route that Diana took. Well, she probably may have been, or she may not have been, but how incredibly stupid.
“It was just really bad timing. Now, her PR people would surely have advised her that putting up all these posts is not a good idea.”

Prince Andrew to get ‘£500k compensation’ if King evicts him from Royal Lodge
Prince Andrew could be compensated with more than £500,000 by the Crown Estate if he chooses to leave Royal Lodge, it has been claimed. The King’s brother is said to be in talks with the King’s representatives about voluntarily leaving Royal Lodge following the furore over the “peppercorn” rent for his 30-room mansion, but he is reluctant to give up his residence of more than 20 years.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the sticking point in the talks is the location of his new home and financial compensation for funds spent on the lodge. The newspaper reported that Andrew was resistant, but there was a sense of inevitability about the prince, believed to be Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite child, giving up his home.

Royal insider gives interesting verdict on Prince George’s future education
Prince George may be just 12-years-old, but already big decisions are being made about his future. While he is currently attending Lambrook School with his siblings Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, this is set to change next September.
This is because the prince, who is second-in-line to the throne, will then move up to secondary school. While it has not yet been confirmed, the secondary school of choice is believed to be Eton College – the same one his father Prince William attended.
At secondary school, the prince will then have to start thinking about what route to take next, with one royal insider already predicting what this next move will be.

Prince Andrew could be faced with fresh humiliation soon, as Parliament plans to debate his future regarding his 30-room mansion in Windsor and the possibility of stripping him of his dukedom.

Inside the Prince Andrew media frenzy that saw TV crews scrambled to Royal Lodge
COMMENT: “Emily in Palace became Emily at the Apostolic Palace this week, as I travelled to the Vatican to cover the King and Queen’s two-day state visit.
“Home to the Pope, a treasure trove of art and architecture and the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican really is an incredible place.
“The Palace avoided being drawn into any questions about Prince Andrew during the visit, but that didn’t prevent the story from rumbling on back home.
“And on Thursday evening, just as we thought we could close out laptop lids having filed on the meaningful meeting with the Pope, rumours swirled that there was movement at Royal Lodge, Andrew’s luxurious mansion on the Windsor Estate.”
