If you want a TL/DR on the whole business you can watch this lady's videos on TikTok. She has 3 videos that summarize everything if you are trying to catch up.

This already happened in 2022. And all it did was restore Anne and Edward as Counsellors of State, which they had previously been until William and Harry turned 21.

This isn't technically news or updates but it seems like a pretty reasonable commentary on what is going on and why it's weird. It's from March 15 and has a lot of commentary from people who seem like pretty reputable royal commentators (their stuff has been published in the NYT, etc).
