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!

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?
