Off With Their Headlines

This week has already been a royal whirlwind taking us across continents…and, of course, the headlines.There’s Prince Andrew, whose finances are back in the spotlight amid some very fishy new reports. Then, Prince William heads to Brazil for the Earthshot Prize and COP30…but some are questioning whether his sustainability message lands as allyship or optics.Meanwhile, Prince Harry pops up in Canada, sparking (you guessed it) another round of “upstaging” speculation. And finally, David Beckham finally gets his knighthood! Why it took so long and what it means for royal image-making.And don't forget to visit Patreon for our Autumn Mailbag!

🎃 Spooky season has come to the House of Windsor! We’re exploring what’s haunting the royals, from King Charles’s Vatican visit (spooking traditionalists everywhere) to Camilla’s gothic chic fashion choices at the Holy See.Then, a chilling Prince Andrew update: titles gone, Royal Lodge in question, followed by a ghostly “Annus Horribilis showdown” as we debate whether 1992 or 2021 was the Windsors’ most frightful year. 👻 Plus: the haunted halls of Castle Glamis (birthplace of the late Queen Mother) and the scariest thing for a modern royal—press intrusion—as Will and Kate win a legal action to keep the cameras at bay._________________________________New episodes every week!

This week, we’re zooming in on the week’s bombshell royal headline: Prince Andrew’s so-called “relinquishment” of his titles. This comes, of course, in the wake of accuser Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, as well as emerging details about Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. We walk through the full timeline of the allegations and fallout going back to 1999, what’s actually changing now (and what isn’t), and how new details continue to surface daily. Plus, we look at how King Charles III and Prince William are shaping the coverage…and why the palace’s press strategy matters more than ever.We also touch on the Sussexes’ favorite media outlet and preview a few intriguing royal book releases on the horizon.**Apologies for the audio and video quality this week, as Meredith was crouched in a basement (not a royal’s) to record in the wake of an internet outage.**_________________________________New episodes every week!

Our resolve to take the week after Amanda's wedding off lasted about as long as it took Prince William to scooter his way to Eugene Levy on "The Reluctant Traveler".While Amanda was walking down the aisle, Meghan was strutting the streets of Paris to her Paris Fashion Week debut to support her friend and new creative director for Balenciaga, Pierpaolo Piccioli.We'll get into all of that plus:Amanda's wedding (longer, Patreon-exclusive bonus ep. coming soon!), Princess Anne's visit to Ukraine, Kate's wedding makeup AND walking backwards in heels, Luxembourg's Royal Coronation, and more.Thanks to our Patreon Press Secretaries: Lulu, Molly, Nikki, and Jessica, and our Crown Jewel: Sir Chrisssstopher of the Baby's Breath and newly crowned order of St. Amalia, Crown Princess of Norway.New episodes every week!

This week’s episode is a little bit of everything (and yes, a little bit chaotic). We’re covering Meghan’s As Ever restock and a few eyebrow-raising headlines: Kate’s supposed “sunkissed blonde hair,” the Katy Perry/Justin Trudeau dating rumors, and Princess Elisabeth of Belgium’s approved student visa to return to Harvard under Trump-era policy changes.

We discuss a recent deepfake crime affecting Princess Amalia of the Netherlands, then an update on the 32 charges being brought against Marius Borg Høiby (step-son to Crown Prince Haakon of Norway).Plus, Meredith follows up with author Andrew Lownie on his splashy new Prince Andrew biography: https://meredithconstant.substack.com/p/10-questions-for-prince-andrew-author And just when we thought we’d wrapped…breaking news from Amanda’s fiancé: Taylor Swift is engaged.

We're SO back! Meredith and Amanda reconvene to discuss the news of Prince William and Catherine's impending relocation from Windsor to...Windsor? Namely, though, we want to dissect the media's spin on the story: is it preemptive pardoning, silliness, or something else entirely? Plus, Meredith's take on a splashy new biography of the Duke and Duchess of York!_________________________________New episodes every week!

Amanda provides a timeline of events, Meredith shows how the media is rehashing old stories behind paywalls, and we discuss some of the moments we'd forgotten about (a certain pair of heels worn by Rose Hanbury, the "what qualifies as a tiara" debate, and of course, the memes.
