The government is considering removing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession following his arrest at Sandringham last month. 

On Monday evening, the former Prince received the Lord Chamberlain at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate, which could be the biggest hint at his royal future to date. 

Read our story to find out why the visit was so important. 

The Princess of Wales has long been known for her impeccable style, with her clothing selling out in minutes during her royal engagements. 

And it appears Queen Rania of Jordan is following in her footsteps and she is a loyal customer of Nodie's. 

Last month, she wore the Côme bag to receive the Albanian president, with sales going through the roof. 

Creator Tine Collard told Paris Match: "It exceeded all our expectations. You can't truly understand until you've experienced it. It was absolute madness. Hundreds and hundreds of orders for a multitude of products."

Princess Anne has long been known for her love of horses - which is why a new honour will hold a special significance for her. 

Cheltenham Festival has chosen to honour the Princess Royal, 75, by naming one of the cups after her. Previously known as the "Amateur's Gold Cup",  The Princess Royal Challenge Cup Open Hunters’ Steeple Chase will now take place on Gold Cup day. 

Princess Anne was the first royal to compete in the Olympics and is a frequent visitor to Cheltenham Racecourse. 

Guy Lavender, CEO of Cheltenham Racecourse, said: "The Hunters’ Chase at The Festival is a contest which recognises and celebrates the very origins of our great sport. 

"We therefore feel it is very appropriate to stage it under the name of Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal – an outstanding all-round equestrian who has excelled in a wide range of disciplines."

The Prince and Princess of Wales amazed royal fans on Sunday with a joint video message in Welsh to mark St David's Day. 

The clip was filmed at Frogmore House on the Windsor Home Park estate. 

Notably, they did not film the video at their "forever home", Forest Lodge, to which they relocated from Adelaide Cottage in November 2025. 

Our Homes Editor, Rachel Avery, reveals why in her piece. 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wrote handwritten notes during their two-day visit to Jordan last week, marking their first visit abroad in 18 months. 

The couple travelled to the Middle East in support of the World Health Organization (WHO), which organised the trip to provide health and humanitarian aid, including mental health support, to vulnerable people affected by conflict or displacement in the region. 

On their second day, Harry and Meghan visited the National Centre for Addiction Rehabilitation in Amman, where they wrote handwritten messages that revealed hidden tells about their personalities and their marriage. 

Macarena Arnás, a graphologist, handwriting expert, and writer, has analysed what their handwriting can tell us about the couple. You can read more, here.

Thank you for accompanying me this afternoon for all the royal news. 

I'm now handing over to Beatriz Colon, who will take things from here. Hope everyone has a good evening! 

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is facing the biggest hint to date that he could be removed from the line of succession. 

The disgraced former Prince, 66, was visited by Richard Benyon, the Lord Chamberlain of the Royal Household, on Monday. Lord Benyon was seen visiting Andrew at Wood Farm, the former Duke's temporary home on the Sandringham estate, for around two hours, before driving out of the estate.

Lord Benyon has served as Lord Chamberlain of the Household since 2024, replacing ex-MI5 Director General Lord Parker of Minsmere. The former Conservative MP is effectively head of the Royal Household and the main channel of communication between the monarch and the House of Lords, involved with arranging the state opening of Parliament and other administrative projects.
