With Harry’s court drama dominating the headlines, William and Kate go on the road in Scotland, trying to look like the future while the past keeps barging in. Kate makes a low-key cultural play with an understated Royal Opera House visit and a simple message: “Thank you to The Royal Ballet for an amazing evening of creative inspiration at Woolf Works this weekend! C.” The Waleses then hit the curling rink, where Kate beats William again, before heading to a community pub where William declares, “I want to help pubs. This is the best place to come and get to know each other,” adding, “I grew up in pubs. I absolutely love pubs,” and calling them “the heart of the community.” They hear about rising costs crushing landlords, Kate receives a crochet bunny for Charlotte, and she jokes, “You need to finish that,” when William leaves his cider behind. The visit is interrupted by a shouted question about Andrew and Epstein, Kensington Palace confirms William’s Saudi Arabia trip in February, and reports swirl that William is furious over talk of a Harry-led Diana project involving Netflix.
Meanwhile Charles stays busy, sips whisky in Edinburgh, jokes, “The terrible thing about it is, the photograph is never the most fetching,” and the Telegraph warns the King’s possible US trip is now tangled up in the Trump-Greenland fallout
