In this episode of Heirs and Spares, Rupert Bell schools Kinsey Schofield on how to properly say PASTY. From charming moments with the Prince and Princess of Wales to fresh challenges for the Sussex brand, these two unpack the latest royal headlines from both sides of the Atlantic.
Rupert reports from the UK on a week filled with public sightings of Prince William and Princess Catherine, including William’s lighthearted visit to a Cornish pasty shop where he joked he might eat the personalized treats meant for his family before making it home. Meanwhile, Catherine marked International Women’s Day with a heartfelt message celebrating the resilience and quiet strength of women in communities around the world.
Across the Atlantic, Kinsey breaks down another setback for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as Netflix officially ends its partnership with Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever. The decision has sparked sharp commentary from reputation experts who say the split could signal trouble for future deals and raise questions about the long-term strength of Brand Sussex. Kinsey and Rupert analyze what this means for the Sussexes’ business ambitions, the shifting royal narrative in the media, and how the contrasting fortunes of the Waleses and the Sussexes continue to play out on the global stage.
