Prince Harry is planning to add new chapters to the paperback version of Spare, his best-selling autobiography. Publishing insiders say readers are clamoring for the juicy details about how the couple feels after the backlash from the book and their Netflix documentary, as well as the scoop from King Charles’s coronation this Spring. Meanwhile, Charles has asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to help negotiate the terms under which Meghan and Harry will accept his invitation to attend his coronation on May 6th. It’s an important date for the Sussexes because it’s also the fourth birthday of their son, Archie.

Meghan and Harry cleverly used this sensitive moment to negotiate the HRH titles they wanted for their children, Archie and Lilibet, and they won. King Charles has now officially recognized them as a Prince and Princess to keep the peace. These titles are not automatic and can only be conferred by the sovereign, something Queen Elizabeth did not do before she died. King Charles gave them the titles as an olive branch to the couple. Queen Consort Camilla, who will be crowned Queen alongside King Charles,

Kate, now the Princess of Wales, and Prince William were all said to be against the idea of giving titles to Harry’s children. Still, they understand the institution’s hierarchy and have respected the King’s decision. Palace courtiers say Charles is eager for the couple to attend the festivities so that the family can put forth a united front for the sake of the monarchy. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who married the couple, helped broker the deal between the California renegades and Buckingham Palace that will result in a truce during the festivities and a pledge not to reveal behind-the-scenes conversations with the royals. King Charles hopes that Harry and Meghan are now happy and that the family can move on, and Charles can focus on his reign. For those who want to watch the coronation of King Charles in style, a pair of Queen Elizabeth II’s Royal Coronation Chairs can be purchased for $39,850 from M.S. Rau in New Orleans. rauantiques.com

Galerie Gmurzynska

The Palm Beach Show

George Hamilton was among the first to visit Isabelle Bscher’s Galerie Gmurzynska booth at the Palm Beach Show. Bscher showed masterworks by Picasso, Brâncuși, Wifredo Lam, Roberto Matta, Joaquín Torres-García, and pop icon Marjorie Strider. Prince Hussain Aga Khan’s undersea photography was presented with the proceeds going to Focused on Nature. A highlight of the exhibit included Picasso’s plaster sculpture of his left hand from 1937, the same year his masterpiece Guernica was created. This was the piece’s first public tour in nearly two decades. Strider’s piece Girl with White Rose also made waves through the artist’s innovative use of the third dimension and commentary on the tropes of romance, beauty, and gender in the Pop Art realm. This work shared many of the formal characteristics of Strider’s Girl with Radish, which the New York Times used as the cover image of their recent article “Best Art of 2022.” gmurzynska.com

Amy Robach & T.J.

Holmes Divorce

Attorney Ken Jewell

Good Morning America hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes could find themselves in some serious financial and legal trouble with their spouses, Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, now that they have been booted form the show, according to top divorce attorney Ken Jewell. Due to their very public affair, Jewell suggests, “There could be an adultery charge because it is actually still a crime in New York. Although it appears to be a valid charge, this would be in the province of the district attorney as private individuals cannot bring criminal charges, so it will be up to the DA if Amy and T.J. get locked up.” Jewell also suggested, “A judge would not be sympathetic to a reduction in spousal support or a divorce settlement because their job loss was essentially self-
