It has been a year of seismic headlines and subtle shifts within the British Royal Family. The public status of the Duke of York has been fundamentally altered, the Princess of Wales has publicly addressed a personal misstep, and the possibility of a royal return for the Duke of Sussex continues to spark debate. But beyond the bold front pages, how deeply do you understand the narratives that have defined the monarchy over the past twelve months?
The Stories Behind the Headlines
This year's royal calendar has been packed with events that range from the constitutional to the curiously commercial. Prince Andrew is no longer a working royal and has lost his military affiliations and 'His Royal Highness' style in public life. In a more personal moment, the Princess of Wales, Catherine, took the unusual step of admitting she had edited a family photograph released for Mother's Day, apologising for any confusion it caused.
Meanwhile, speculation continues to swirl around the movements of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with reports suggesting Prince Harry might be considering a more permanent base back in the United Kingdom. These are just the tip of the iceberg. Could you identify where the King and Queen Consort quietly celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary? Do you know the eye-watering price tag attached to a jar of Meghan Markle's 'As Ever' honey? Which senior royal undertook a significant solo tour to the Congo?
