Off With Their Headlines

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? Meghan's audacious demand to share a b-day with not one, but TWO important royal events? All of that plus, Mr. Of Fact drops by to give us a "normie" view of the big stories of the year (spoiler: they are extremely niche and we love him for it).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?

So many royal-adjacent stories, so little real accountability. We’re checking in with one journalist whose apology to Meghan's mum could so easily have been avoided, another who clearly needs a journal for Christmas, an Earl who owes his girlfriend damages after she sued his ex-wife, and some updates from brothers King Charles and Prince Andrew. ______________________________Join Amanda in LondonJoin Amanda for German + Czech Christmas Markets______________________________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?

Amanda asked for a chill episode...so they spoke about a diplomatic state visit and Meredith launched into a diatribe about the coverage of Meghan and her father.But seriously, we get into a festive-ish mood, covering the "With Love, Meghan" holiday special, the German State Visit to the U.K., new (old) tiaras, Kate's fashion, a world salad of a letter to guests of the 'Karoling Koncert', and more.

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? How do the (formerly) York sisters play into that? How have we, on a personal level, navigated career pivots, motherhood, and the state of our education system today?And perhaps most importantly...What. Does the [royal] nanny. 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?

This week, we're breaking down the BBC’s recent high-level resignations and what they reveal about the broadcaster’s long history of caving to establishment pressure.And elsewhere in royal news: is Prince Andrew’s title shuffle to be completed with a surprising new grammatical addition? 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.

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!

We’re unpacking some of the stranger (and shadier) royal stories in recent headlines. First up: Sarah Ferguson has been dropped from seven charities after an email sent to Jeffrey Epstein raised eyebrows. Then, a questionable claim that Prince Harry already has his young son’s name down for Eton.We also review Netflix’s new documentary Royal Rebels, which spotlights Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and Shaman Durek…and seems to be chasing the success of another royal tell-all. Head over to Patreon this week for a more in-depth breakdown.And finally, a trip through fashion history: how and why the pussy bow blouse became one of Kate Middleton’s signature style choices._________________________________New episodes every week!
