Not any more according to Helihub: https://helihub.com/2023/08/18/briti...pter-contract/
"...A tender was issued for a renewal of RWCSAT for five years with one option year, initially “to be delivered as soon as practicable following 1 Apr 23”, but after a further six month extension on the current contract, bidders were advised that the process was withdrawn and no contract was awarded..."

I would guess just 32 Sqdn; I think the S76 (G-XXEB) is operated under a different contract with civilian crews although of course, KCIII may well decide otherwise if he's being 'environmental'.
They are absolutely entirely different operations - And TKHF is not a "contract" - It's an in house operation run and staffed by the Royal Travel Office.
I'm just unsure about which one it is that Nowherespecial is referring to with his suggestion that "The Royals" are getting a 139.
The MOD statement above seems pretty specific that they are dropping the 32 Sqn helicopter role. To then decide to replace it with a significantly larger aircraft seems a bit odd.
I was wondering if TKHF had decided to replace one or both of their 76's - XXEB as you said and XXED - with a 139.

A footnote to the sovereign grant report published at the end of June, says "This includes authorisation to lease two helicopters to replace the existing helicopters (one leased, one owned), associated maintenance and other costs, based on the Business Case authorised by HM Treasury. The resulting contracts were signed in May 2023."
