At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income. In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However,
rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free.
To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic. The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thank you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time.
TV tonight: the inside story of the Middletons and the Monarchy Ammar Kalia, Hannah Verdier, Graeme Virtue, Jack Seale and Luke Holland
When the Middletons Met the Monarchy
9.30pm, Channel 5
Channel 5 continues its seemingly never-ending run of snooping documentaries on the royal family with this edition focusing on the Middleton family’s entry into the monarchy, following Kate and Prince William’s marriage in 2011. The royal “experts” describe the potential friction between the Middleton family’s party-planning business and middle-class lineage and the arch, unusual protocol of the royals, while the fanfare of the wedding itself is replayed in celebratory detail.
