Transcribe →Too Piccola for Palace Drama
2w ago01:00:48Tap to summarizeThis week, we ask an important question: is the royal family simply… too little, too piccola for all this drama?We break down Princess Kate’s upcoming trip to Italy and what it could signal about her return to a more international royal role after a disrupted year. From there, we discuss the royal family’s tributes to Sir David Attenborough on his 100th birthday and whether Prince William’s Earthshot ambitions worked their way into his.We also unpack fresh reports about William’s temper resurfacing in the press, a truly eyebrow-raising story suggesting Queen Camilla and William have united against the Yorks, and a surprising claim that last week's attack on Andrew MBW has implications for Prince Harry's security.Then it’s on to lighter fare: garden party fashion and...what may happen with the King’s possible postponed Speech from the Throne as Keir Starmer faces growing opposition within his own party. (We tried!)Grab a Pimms or an espresso martini and join us for this week’s royal roundup!______________________________New episodes every Wednesday and Friday!

Transcribe →QEII’s 100th Birthday: Who Controls the Story?
Apr 2200:55:00Tap to summarizeWe’re wrapping up the Sussexes’ Australia tour and the media narratives that followed before diving into some truly baffling coverage about Meghan “risking backlash” by… referencing her own children in her latest As Ever launch.From there, we turn to the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, marking what would have been her 100th birthday. We look at how the royal family chose to commemorate the moment, the role of the Royal Collection Trust (including the souvenirs on offer), and what it all tells us about how royal memory is shaped…and sold. The collections we reference: https://www.royalcollectionshop.co.uk/queen-elizabeth-ii-centenary-collection/view-all.html Plus, thoughts on the announcement of the Queen’s official biographer. What we can realistically expect from a history that’s been institutionally authorized?______________________________New episodes every Wednesday and Friday!

Transcribe →A Sussex Tour and the Royal Spin Cycle on Overdrive
Apr 1500:56:18Tap to summarizeAmanda is back from boots on the ground royal coverage in Philadelphia, and we’re diving straight into the royal spin machine! We dig into reports that Prince William privately reached out to Prince Andrew with condolences…despite months of briefings suggesting he’s pushed for a harder line. So which is it?Plus: the media coverage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Australia trip…where a “muted reception” somehow meant large crowds, public safety gets reframed as “taxpayer-funded security,” and a business trip becomes “cashing in.” We had to revisit a few very 2018 royal body language analysis articles for good measure.______________________________New episodes every Wednesday and Friday!
