This week, we’re joined by historian Dr. Brooke Newman, author of the new book THE CROWN’S SILENCE: The Hidden History of the British Monarchy and Slavery. The book traces the British monarchy’s long, deliberate entanglement with slavery in the Americas, and Dr. Newman walks us through what the historical record demonstrates: royal investments and strategic silence helped build and sustain a transatlantic slave system for centuries.

Until now, that history has been carefully obscured by comforting national myths. But with newly unearthed historical documentation, how much longer can the monarchy put off reckoning with the legacy of a harmful system it actively created?

Dr. Newman brings a rare combination of rigor, clarity, and generosity to this often-obscured subject. You won’t want to miss THE CROWN’S SILENCE, available now wherever you buy books! https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-crowns-silence-brooke-n-newman?variant=43822878130210

Just in time for the dump of snow (and freezing temps) across a lot of the United States, we are here with the Friday news dump and our hottest takes.
We talk Prince Harry's testimony and the phone-hacking trial, Catherine, Princess of Wales's fashion collab for one, Prince William's global statesman trip to Saudi Arabia next month, and the reaction to "With Love, Meghan" streaming numbers and who gets to decide if it was a bomb.

Stay warm and stay tuned for our Royal Equerry bonus episode that drops this weekend on our Patreon for the $5 tier and up! If you would like some, ah hem, visual aides, upgrade to the $10 and up tier.

TY to our Patreon Press Secretaries Nikki, Jessica, and Molly and our Crown Jewel, Sir Chrrrirssttoooophhherrrrr!

This week, we’re looking at what happens when family loyalty fractures in public, starting with reports that Princess Eugenie has distanced herself from Prince Andrew. Then there’s Brooklyn Beckham’s latest statements about being estranged from his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.

We also unpack Prince Harry’s ongoing court case against the publishers of the Daily Mail for unlawful information gathering, and examine how Trump’s renewed threats around Greenland expose the limits of royal “soft power” and ceremonial diplomacy.

Plus, a look at the impact late fashion legend Valentino Garavani had on modern royal style!

While the news hasn't been silly in most parts of the world, in the world of royal reporting...it's been fairly silly.

We kick things off with Kensington Palace's "big announcement" about the Prince and Princess of Wales and the "hidden not-so subtle" nod in Kate's pantsuit. Then we move out with Randy Andy, who is reportedly getting refurbished digs as a consequence for things he has continued to deny.
Finally, Meredith catches Amanda up with the latest on Prince Harry's case against the publishers of The Daily Mail and why this has been a m e s s y pretrial.

Thank you to our Patreon press secretaries, Molly, Nikki, and Jessica, and our Crown Jewel.....Sir Chrrrrissstopher of the Order of the Garter of the Baby's breath, yadda yadda yadda. We love ya all.
