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!

Haunted by Royal Headlines

🎃 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 we are all about love (and necklines---it'll make sense we promise) in this very special episode, featuring the future Mr. Matta himself...Shane. Meredith grills...erm, chats, with Shane and Amanda about their meet-cute, beanies, if Shane's learned anything about the royals, wedding dress predictions, and a very special Cosmo Girl-style quiz you are not going to want to miss (it will be posted on Patreon if you'd like to play along!)If you'd like to get Amanda and Shane a wedding gift, the very first thing on their registry is a 5-star Apple Review!

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!

Can a blonde hair makeover be considered a “main story?” Asking for a friend.Amanda and Meredith are catching up on a bevy of royal headlines, including the passing of the Duchess of Kent and, yes, how absolutely no one could be normal about the Princess of Wales’ “sun-kissed” blonde tresses.

Too many “...what?” moments to count in this one! Amanda and Meredith dive into some of the royal stories crossing our feeds this week, including a report that Queen Camilla was attacked as a teenager and rumors of a Prince Harry and KCIII reunion this month.

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. Content warning for SA + non-consent allegations from 38:32 (just after the 2nd ad break) - 55:00. 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!

This week, Amanda’s flying solo… and it’s a royal headline roundup! Our updates feature a wild new claim that Meghan racked up “dozens” of protocol breaches (complete with some very shaky alternative facts masquerading as “meticulous research”), an update on the Sentebale charity commission investigation, and details on where the Sussexes’ Netflix deal stands. PLUS (because it’s that time of year) yet ANOTHER royal superyacht holiday.

Amanda is still traversing the U.K. and taking copious amounts of slow-mo videos of Mr. Of Fact. This week Meredith is joined by the host of Oddly Specific, Meredith Lynch! The Meredith's cover everything from the internet's reaction to the Coldplay//Astronomer CEO fiasco and how misinformation spreads, our least favorite Coldplay songs.

In this week's episode, we check off one of our bucket list topics: royals and theatre. Before we dive into that we have a burying the lede on the media coverage surrounding the 'secret summit' between Prince Harry and King Charles's aides.Then, we move on to the main stage with Royal Theatre Past and Present. We breakdown the stunningly bad Diana: The Musical, a controversial new musical about Prince George, Andrew Lloyd Webber's connection to the British Royal Family, and Prince Charles's flirtation with theatre and his love of Shakespeare.It's a real thrillah, in Manilla, with Camilla if you know what we mean (even if you don't, you'll soon find out).Timestamps: 2:45 Burying the Lede (Secret Summit)13:20 Main Ep.
