Prince Charles took Queen Elizabeth’s place at the State Opening of Parliament, bringing attention back to the monarch’s health and what a royal family without her might look like.

The queen pulled out of the opening of Parliament. But rather than send a functionary, she passed the duty to her heir. No wonder some people are calling it a regency.

Plus, the British city of York has had enough of being associated with Prince Andrew, the palace ghosts who spooked the royals, and happy 7th birthday Princess Charlotte!

A new biography of Prince William also reveals that he wants Andrew banished from royal life forever. Plus, why Prince Harry might want to “protect” the queen from Prince Andrew.

Prince Harry vowing to “protect” the queen will have sent the rest of the royal family “off a ledge,” says author Tina Brown—and it’s not the only crisis roiling the monarchy.

The couple are believed to have arrived in the U.K. on Wednesday and were spotted Thursday walking in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

Plus, Prince Andrew takes to Instagram with memories of the Falklands War, another controversial royal tour, and Harry and Meghan may hit Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding next weekend.
