Prince William's appearance on The Graham Norton Show triggers 292 complaints to the BBC, with anti-monarchy campaigners accusing the broadcaster of promoting William's Earthshot Prize and giving the Royal Family favorable treatment.
Meanwhile, King Charles reportedly faces an uncomfortable Christmas decision: should Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor be invited to Sandringham? Anonymous palace sources claim Prince William and Kate Middleton would be deeply unhappy about Andrew returning to the family Christmas table.
William also reveals his unusual pub order, cider with ice, in the special edition of Country Life he guest-edited. He sends an emotional message to two explorers preparing to cross Antarctica, including the son of a man whose earlier expedition William supported.
Plus, King Charles reportedly orders changes after being caught in a downpour during a royal engagement, Christmas decorations appear at Highgrove, and Andrew's rumored new romance is firmly denied by the woman involved.
Questions this episode answers: Why did Prince William receive 292 BBC complaints? Did The Graham Norton Show breach BBC impartiality rules? Will Andrew be invited to Sandringham for Christmas? What does William drink at the pub? Why were palace staff reportedly scrambling for umbrellas? Is Andrew dating Aliba Bellingham?
