Charles getting soaked at Antigua's independence parade supplies the lighter moment in Royal Exclusive's most-watched new upload. Matt Wilkinson, joining Sarah Hewson from Antigua, explains that everyone had been warned to stand still during the national anthem. An umbrella was not quite as easy a solution as it might look.

The full panel episode drew roughly 83,000 views, the strongest showing among ten uploads this week. Alongside Wilkinson are royal editor Brontë Coy and former royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter. Their conversation moves from the Caribbean tour to a more substantial question: where does a constitutional monarch's freedom to speak end? On slavery reparations, Arbiter argues that a personal apology would take Charles into political territory.

The episode's emphatic Sussex headline comes from Wilkinson's assessment, not a palace announcement. He says he believes there is no chance of Harry and Meghan returning to working royal roles. A separate excerpt about their absence from royal events was the week's next most-watched new upload.

Elsewhere, Catherine's wardrobe is supplying fresh momentum. "Five times Princess Kate brought back retro trends", a look at revived outfits and accessories, is currently drawing views fastest across the channel. The newer panel excerpt about Catherine welcoming a royal newcomer is also among its busiest uploads right now.

Royal Exclusive added about 1,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is running well below its usual level. Among nearby broadcasters, RNZ and RTÉ News had substantially larger weekly audiences; Royal Exclusive's weekly views were close to The Globe and Mail's. Its own week combined the familiar panel arguments with a rather less scripted royal problem: rain arriving during the anthem.
