PANIC AT THE PALACE - JUBILEE SHOWDOWN

ROYAL EXPERT PHIL DAMPIER TAKES US INSIDE THE DRAMA

WILLS BANS NETFLIX FILMING

When the Queen recently said that the Sussexes wouldn’t be permitted to join the working royals for a balcony appearance at her Platinum Jubilee next month, courtiers were puzzled when the couple insisted they were coming anyway.

According to insiders, Prince William is furious. “His big concern is that they are obviously filming a documentary for Netflix, and a big return to the family – whether they’re welcome or not – would prove the sort of salacious viewing Netflix is clearly looking for,” a source tells New Idea.

“Wills worries they’ll attempt to make fools of them all and ruin the Queen’s day.”

Royal expert Phil Dampier adds, “The Sussexes are playing games at the Queen’s expense and she doesn’t deserve it at 96 with her health failing.”

CURTSY WARS!

Palace insiders are bracing themselves for conflict over Meghan being expected to toe the royal line when she’s back – and it’s believed the Duchess of Cambridge might fall foul of her grievances.
