This week, there’s one topic dominating the royal news cycle: newly released files from the US Dept. of Justice that implicate royals with Jeffrey Epstein.

This week, we’re joined by historian Dr. Brooke Newman, author of the new book THE CROWN’S SILENCE: The Hidden History of the British Monarchy and Slavery. The book traces the British monarchy’s long, deliberate entanglement with slavery in the Americas, and Dr. Newman walks us through what the historical record demonstrates: royal investments and strategic silence helped build and sustain a transatlantic slave system for centuries. Until now, that history has been carefully obscured by comforting national myths. But with newly unearthed historical documentation, how much longer can the monarchy put off reckoning with the legacy of a harmful system it actively created? Dr. Newman brings a rare combination of rigor, clarity, and generosity to this often-obscured subject. You won’t want to miss THE CROWN’S SILENCE, available now wherever you buy books! https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-crowns-silence-brooke-n-newman?variant=43822878130210 ______________________________New episodes every Wednesday and Friday.Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content and more: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?

While the news hasn't been silly in most parts of the world, in the world of royal reporting...it's been fairly silly.We kick things off with Kensington Palace's "big announcement" about the Prince and Princess of Wales and the "hidden not-so subtle" nod in Kate's pantsuit. Then we move out with Randy Andy, who is reportedly getting refurbished digs as a consequence for things he has continued to deny.Finally, Meredith catches Amanda up with the latest on Prince Harry's case against the publishers of The Daily Mail and why this has been a m e s s y pretrial.Thank you to our Patreon press secretaries, Molly, Nikki, and Jessica, and our Crown Jewel.....Sir Chrrrrissstopher of the Order of the Garter of the Baby's breath, yadda yadda yadda.

We’re looking ahead to royal tours slated for 2026, unpacking the news that William and Kate have hired a “crisis comms” professional for what KP insists is a non-crisis role (sure Jan!), and taking a fashion detour with Golden Globes 2026 looks we think would actually work for royal women.We also check in on everyone’s favorite radon-laden prison, HMP Dartmoor, which is still paying millions to the Duchy of Cornwall, and break down a truly wild headline attempting to spin Meghan’s high sales numbers as a negative.______________________________New episodes every Wednesday and Friday! Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?

It was a busy week back to working royal duties and there was plenty of news to cover. We celebrate Kate's 44th birthday, discuss her first surprise royal engagement with Prince William, follow back up on The Times UK profile that allegedly upset King Charles and Camilla, before moving on to 2 equally insane Meghan, Duchess of Sussex stories, ending with William, Kate, and that chopper video.New episodes every Wednesday and Friday! Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?

Hours worked or impact made? Visibility or substance? This week’s episode is all about how royal labor is defined, sold, and scrutinized…and why the metrics rarely tell the full story.We unpack the news that Prince Harry has almost regained armed protection, revisit the long-running debate over the “hardest working royals” (and what the Court Circular really measures), and break down why claims about William and Kate “highlighting British excellence” in 2026 feel… redundant. Isn’t that…the job?We also look at some tired (yet always amusing!) reporting around Meghan’s brand, and a round of 44th birthday coverage about Kate that reveals *checks notes* …very little.______________________________New episodes every Wednesday and Friday! Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?

In our final episode of 2025, we revisit some of the wildest stories of 2025. Kate's hair trick that left fans stunned? Princess Anne's emotional-support lipstick for William?

It's been a year in both royal world and our personal lives, so we're answering your questions! What would the British monarchy need to do for long-term staying power?

DO?Enjoy - and if we didn't get to your question in this round, fear not! It's safely tucked away in the royal vault for a future mailbag episode._________________________________One year of OWTH?

Princess Beatrice has a surprisingly expanding public role — is she following her father’s trajectory? And breaking down the optics at play with Harry and Meghan’s night out at Kris Jenner’s birthday bash.We wrap things up with a look at Remembrancetide royal fashion...and how optics and symbolism are still the monarchy’s favorite PR tools.
