Off With Their Headlines

It’s back to school season, and even the royals find themselves hitting the books as the fall term begins! With two heirs (and a spare) headed off to their next academic chapter, the royal landscape is getting smarter by the day. 

Plus, the attendees for King Harald V’s funeral in Oslo - the largest security operation in Norway’s history - have been announced, and King Charles III felt the need to issue a ...

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 g...

Everything you need to know about the death of Norway’s king and the accession of its new ruler, plus updates from the UK’s favorite (?) wayward duchess (not Meghan) and the broadsheets’ attempts at royal spin on Prince Harry’s move home.

Rumors and reports are swirling that the Sussex family are set to move back to Britain this fall, where Archie and Lilibet will even be enrolled in school. Is setting up a UK home base another sign that Harry and Meghan are pursuing the “half in, half out” model of royal life they first sought in 2020?

A new order of succession for the last remaining European monarchy, and a new biography from someone who knew Princess Diana VERY well. Plus, the saga of Princess Eugenie naming her daughter is at an end…but of course, we couldn’t let this go without dragging Harry and Meghan into the headlines.

What has led to a Princess of Brunei losing her royal titles? What brought royals from across Europe together—in style!—this week? What do you study at university when you’re the monarchy’s next “secret weapon?”

And WHAT, pray tell, will Prince Harry DO without that classic 7 AM bagpipe wakeup??

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.

In the first OWTH new and improved Friday episode, we’re breezing through some of the royal topics that have everyone buzzing - despite the working royals taking a mid-summer siesta. And we guess you could say…anything goes!

Will Prince Harry be staying at the Palace during his next UK visit? Should we be calling the Princess of Wales…something else? And why DO Amanda’s in-laws have so many turkeys...

We’re baaaaack! (crowd booing) 

Amanda and Meredith are catching up on the shenanigans that took hold of the royal news cycle while we were away for summer break, including actress Ruthie Henshall and journalist Charlotte Griffiths both spilling the tea on their connections to princes Edward and Harry (respectively).

Plus, some outlandish royal fashion from Belgium - Princess Delphine never disappoints!

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 w...

This week in royal news: we STILL don’t know what’s happening with Harry and Meghan’s upcoming UK trip…or their residence…or their security…we’re sure everything is fine! 

And all about Princess Kate completing the Three Peaks Challenge for the Royal Marsden Cancer Centre charity, as well as an early look at the who’s who of Wimbledon 2026.

This special Friday News Dump brings you everything you wanted to know (and then some) about royal financial reports! This year’s Sovereign Grant Report and Royal Household Report each brought revelations well beyond the promise of merely getting tax information about the King and Prince of Wales.

Are Harry and Meghan returning to the UK this summer? What annual tax does the monarch pay? Did the monarchy peak in 2012? We don't know the answers to any of these questions either, but we're going to discuss them anyway!

Plus, reactions to royal Father's Day tributes and the future queen's mother's Ascot outfit - described as... "interesting!" And the uninformed American perspective (which absolutely no one asked for, we know)...

Something's "amatta" with Amanda Matta's immune system (she'll be fine!), so Meredith was joined last-minute by Royal fashion commentator and astrologer, Alyssa to dive deep into Royal Ascot fashion this year. Sidebars include: Mike & Zara Tindall's admissions mishap, does Royal Ascot suck now?, and a look at what Chiron moving into Taurus could mean for the British Royal Family--Prince William in particular.

Thank you again...
