We’re joined by returning guest Dr. Brooke Newman this week to discuss King Charles III’s recent trip to CHOGM 2026 in the Caribbean, and the shifting conversation around Britain’s role in the Transatlantic slave trade.

The "Queen's Command" with Sarah Raughley

Oct 21, 2026 40 min

We are so excited to have Author Sarah Raughley back to talk about her latest book, The Queen's Command. We LOVED this book and it is among our top reads for the day. Pick it up now wherever books are sold. https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-queens-command-sarah-raughley -The Inheritance Games meets Bridgerton in the riveting companion novel to The Queen's Spade, where our heroine must play a deadly game and risk everything to get to the truth that’s poisoning Victorian England’s royal court. Favored by Queen Victoria, Vicky Davies has survived royal courts, financial ruin, and the loss of her mother, Sarah Forbes Bonetta — the famous African princess turned royal goddaughter — but Cheltenham Ladies’ College is about to test her in new and wicked ways. Every Thursday evening, the senior girls play a secret game and Vicky just became their latest pawn. Truths must be confessed, commands obeyed, and whoever claims the coveted title of winner will have her wish granted, no matter how outrageous and seemingly impossible it may be. But when the game yields frightening and fatal results, Vicky vows to put an end to this ghoulish tradition that twists minds and makes enemies out of friends. With dangerous foes closing in and truths that could shatter her world clawing to the surface, Vicky must uncover the secrets buried not only in Cheltenham but by her own mother. In a school where survival is a gamble, will she emerge victorious — or fall victim to its deadly game? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Prince Harry & Meghan's (Not Royal) Royal Engagements with Journalist Omid Scobie

Oct 16, 2026 50 min

I don't know what blessed astrology I stepped into when I got Omid Scobie to agree to guest-host the pod BEFORE we knew about Prince Harry and Meghan's Nottingham engagements, but there is no one better to talk to than someone who was there back in 2017 for the couple's first royal visit as a newly engaged couple Omid was an Honorary Member of the Royal Rota for years and is the NYT Bestselling author of "Finding Freedom", "Endgame" and a fictional series co-authored with Robin Benway called "Royal Spin" that has it's paperback release early next year. Omid and I get into today's engagements, the press coverage, what's changed in Royal reporting since he was last in the game and why he decided to put himself back in the narrative (sorry I couldn't resist a Hamilton reference) with his brand-new Substack, Off-Script.

Hello (Hahhhloohw), it's still Meredith here with your Royal Briefing, but have no fear, Amanda will be back next week and, if not, I'll have one of those Margaret Thatcher Foundation bros deport her back to the States. In the meantime there's a ton of Royal news to discuss including: -Former Prince Andrew's court victory & King Charles footing the bill...for the payments he owes for repairs on the Royal Lodge. -A college professor accused of an actual crime who isn't getting the Dr. Jason Arday treatment. -A preview of Prince Harry & Meghan's "non-Royal" engagements on Thursday. -Will & Kate's engagements, especially Charlotte and Catherine 'spotted' on the Tube (Royals, they're just like us!) -and a very silly story about courtiers being 'too woke' about this particular sport. ______________________________ New episodes every Wednesday and Friday!

Maybe Meghan’s not the problem after all

Oct 2, 2026 48 min

It was a whirlwind week of royal reports, scandals, rumors, and appearances…and it all left us wondering, “What if Meghan wasn’t the problem after all?” From (another) security threat seemingly inspired simply by the Sussex family existing in the UK, to allegations of Buckingham Palace taking measures to address “drinking culture” in its staff quarters, it seems that with every passing news cycle we get more evidence all that glitters isn’t, in fact, gold. Plus, updates on a threatened defamation suit against Charles, Earl Spencer, and discussions of Prince William and Prince Harry’s increasingly different approaches to honoring their mother’s legacy.

Amanda and Meredith catch up on this week’s royal news, including an unintended consequence of the King’s “clarifying” letter about the Sussexes.

The Men in Grey Behind the Royals’ Biggest Moments

Sep 4, 2026 1 hr 0 min

This episode is packed with the kind of commentary that makes the headlines make sense… and makes the people writing them look even worse. From Queen Camilla’s (apparent) connection to Dolly Parton to King Charles’s charity quietly putting Camilla’s sister Annabelle Elliot on the payroll, we’ll examine the larger pattern of how palace spin really works. That, of course, involves the “men in gray suits” that Princess Diana warned us about: the courtiers and strategists who decide which principal is a problem, which scandals vanish, and which royals get protected at all costs. We’re highlighting three major players from the past few decades to shed some light on these shadowy figures at the heart of “The Firm.” ______________________________ New episodes every Wednesday and Friday!

A Tudor Hoax and a Queen's Endgame (ft. Hayley Nolan)

Aug 7, 2026 52 min

This week, we’re chatting with Hayley Nolan (@hayleynolanhistorian), the Tudor historian and author of the new book NOTORIOUS: Anne Boleyn and the Great Tudor Hoax. This gripping new analysis tells of how Elizabeth Barton, a poverty-stricken housemaid-turned-nun, ultimately delayed Henry VIII’s marriage to Anne Boleyn for seven years. Wielding unimaginable influence over the biggest names in Tudor history—from the Pope to Catherine of Aragon and even the King himself—Barton spearheaded the smear campaign against Anne Boleyn that would eventually ruin her. But was the young girl simply a victim of these Catholic power players or the dastardly mastermind behind this great Tudor hoax? UK Preorder (out Aug. 27): https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/notorious-9781037201264/ US Preorder (out Dec. 1): https://bookshop.org/p/books/notorious-anne-boleyn-and-the-great-tudor-hoax-hayley-nolan/6d6293d27bc98590 Hayley is a historian, a TEDx Speaker on Anne Boleyn, an Associate of King’s College London, and is currently at the University of Oxford undertaking her second master’s degree. Her biography Anne Boleyn: 500 Years of Lies was the Independent ‘Book of the Month’ and an Amazon History No. 1 bestseller. Then, we’ll dive deeper into the Queen Camilla Future of Journalism Award - a truly impressive patronage for the queen who was once the most reviled news subject in Britain! ______________________________ 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.

America's Royal Wedding (ft. Meghan Ely)

Jul 8, 2026 29 min

School's out for summer - we're taking a vacation! Before we go, we brought in wedding PR specialist Meghan Ely to discuss the "royal wedding" on everyone's minds: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's opulent Madison Square Garden nuptials. What trends might be sparked? Was Taylor just like us (scrolling Pinterest for decor ideas?) How did the publicity rollout speak to the couple's vision for the day? And was this event really on par with genuine royal weddings? OFD Consulting is one of the few PR firms focused exclusively on wedding public relations. They've spent 15 years cultivating relationships with the press on a local, national, and even global level, especially editors at wedding publications. And for 17+ years, Meghan Ely has led the OFD Consulting team as its founder. A long-time industry speaker and writer, she has regularly earned clients’ press in such outlets as the New York Times, Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings, People, Bridal Guide, Travel + Leisure, and Style Me Pretty, among many others. She is a longtime columnist for Cater + Event and recently authored 20 Wedding PR Tips for 2026. ___________ We'll see you in a few weeks, refreshed and ready to take on some post-silly season royal news!

Too Piccola for Palace Drama

May 13, 2026 1 hr 0 min

This week, we ask an important question: is the royal family simply… too little, too piccola for all this drama? We break down Princess Kate’s upcoming trip to Italy and what it could signal about her return to a more international royal role after a disrupted year. From there, we discuss the royal family’s tributes to Sir David Attenborough on his 100th birthday and whether Prince William’s Earthshot ambitions worked their way into his. We also unpack fresh reports about William’s temper resurfacing in the press, a truly eyebrow-raising story suggesting Queen Camilla and William have united against the Yorks, and a surprising claim that last week's attack on Andrew MBW has implications for Prince Harry's security. Then it’s on to lighter fare: garden party fashion and...what may happen with the King’s possible postponed Speech from the Throne as Keir Starmer faces growing opposition within his own party.
