Campaigners and transparency groups have increased pressure on the Crown Estate after newly released documents confirmed that Prince Edward pays only a peppercorn rent for Bagshot Park, a 120‑room Grade II-listed mansion in Surrey. The lease, agreed in 2007, grants the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh 150 years at the property after a £5 million premium, with rent reduced to a symbolic level for the rest of the term.

Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex returned to local service this week, volunteering at Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles (OBKLA) alongside their children, Archie and Lilibet. In partnership with their Archewell Foundation, the family joined other volunteers to prepare and package meals for Angelenos facing food insecurity. Wearing aprons and baseball caps, the Sussexes were photographed chopping vegetables, scooping hot food into trays, and baking cookies.
