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. How DO these busy royals find the time?

It’s August, which means only one thing in the realm of royal reporting: it’s silly season! Amanda and Meredith dive into the weird, wonderful, downright absurd stories that hit our feeds while the royals take their annual holidays.

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. We discuss how a Google search led Meredith L. to start a pod dedicated to private equity and pop culture, before a mini chat about the British Royal Family & their private equity entanglements. Obviously, Prince Andrew finds his way into the mix.
You can find Meredith Lynch on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and her podcast, Oddly Specific.
(Mentioned on the pod is this episode Meredith L did with Senator Elizabeth Warren)

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).

Step beyond the British Isles and meet some of the world’s *other* royal heirs from! From Spain to Sweden, we’re discussing five future faces of monarchy this week. Plus: a troubling report out of Norway involving the (allegedly) wayward son of a crown princess.
Over on Patreon this week, you’ll find a breakdown of new reporting on royal finances, a candid conversation about As Ever’s summer drops, and some royal fashion chat from the French State Visit to Windsor this week.

Enjoy this Patreon episode from the vault, in which Amanda and Meredith rewatched The Princess Diaries 1 & 2. We had the MOST royally good time breaking down these films of our childhood. We're talking Mia Thermopolis’ glow-up, the charm of Garry Marshall movies (Meredith has SEVERAL recs), Lana getting coned, Genovian politics, and the chaotic nostalgia of 2000s makeover scenes.

This week on Off With Their Headlines, we’re breaking down some intentionally misleading royal coverage and diving into the media’s framing of Prince William’s 43rd birthday. Does the coverage reveal anything new about his evolving image?
More on William's Gemini/Cancer cusp: https://mattaoffact.substack.com/p/prince-williams-gemini-cancer-cusp
Then we switch gears with some media recs to span the entire spectrum of summer vibes - whether you're into historical drama, juicy docs (yes, Meredith is breaking down season 2 of America's Sweethearts), or poolside reading.

And over in Montecito, Meghan’s standout podcast appearance with Emma Grede has us talking ambition and media narratives once again…just in time for another As Ever drop this Friday.

This week, we’re chatting with FluentlyForward about royal blind items! Shannon (@fluentlyforward) walks us through the history of the blind item, as well as the juiciest royal blinds from history (CW: explicit language).
Amanda also made an appearance on FF a few weeks back to discuss Meghan’s business moves and time in the public eye. Listen here!
And in the spirit of speculation, gossip, and rumor, we also have briefings on all the latest royal stories. What are King Charles’ doctors saying about his cancer? Which “respected” royal editor has crawled her way back into the opinion section? And three guesses (but the first two don’t count) on which former football star might finally get his knighthood.

This week, we’re wrapping up our deep dive into rival royal courts—with a focus on the evolving (and sometimes tense) dynamic between King Charles and Prince William. Whose press secretaries are really calling the shots…and how is the press playing off the dynamic?

2:59 - "New" "exclusive" on Lilibet's name...controversy? (DM+)
12:35 - recent framing of "King William" (The Times)
19:35 - Prince Charles + "Project 70"
25:03 - Prince William's transition to heir-in-waiting

We’ve been teasing this topic for aaaages and it’s finally time! Amanda and Meredith are strapping in to discuss the rival courts that seem to be taking shape for the reign of KCII. This week, we’re exploring the historic precedent for a lacking “united front” between monarch and heir.
Plus, what a bestselling Swedish author told Amanda about the royal family this week, and an incisive breakdown of the news that Pres. Joe Biden has been diagnosed with cancer from Meredith.

This week, we're digging into the royal family’s long-standing love affair with homeopathy and alternative healing—a fascination that feels newly relevant as King Charles continues cancer treatment and the Princess of Wales promotes...well, just “nature.” What does it mean when wellness trends collide with royal PR?
We also take a detour to the Cannes Film Festival, where a new dress code banning nudity and “voluminous” styles has us asking: who gets to decide what elegance entails? And finally, say hello to Pope Leo XIV—this is the final chapter in Pope Watch 2025.

This episode, we’re keeping one eye on the red carpet, and the other on the Vatican, as Pope Watch 2025 heats up with the start of the papal conclave. We break down what’s at stake, plus take a stylish detour with our Met Gala fashion review—who nailed the tailoring brief and who phoned it in?
In royal news, we unpack the latest on Prince Harry’s RAVEC decision and other headline-grabbing moments from the House of Windsor. As always, we’re looking at how media coverage shapes public perception of the royals...and who benefits from the spin.

This week we took a stroll down memory lane and revisited the coronation of the "eldest boy", King Charles III. Amanda provides a timeline of events, Meredith shows how the media is rehashing old stories behind paywalls, and we discuss some of the moments we'd forgotten about (a certain pair of heels worn by Rose Hanbury, the "what qualifies as a tiara" debate, and of course, the memes. We also put the "will she or won't she" around Meghan + the kids attending the coronation with some additional context.
