We start with one of the stranger corners of royal conspiracy culture: the long running “reptilian” claim, its late nineteen nineties roots in David Icke, and why the monarchy’s secrecy and ritual makes it such an easy target, with Royal Insider Deep Crown offering a dry reality check.Then, a new book revisits the Diana Panorama scandal and argues the BBC’s handling of the interview and cover up helped push the Princess onto a dangerous path, renewing questions about accountability and transparency.We also look at reported private remarks from Prince Philip about “eerie similarities” between Meghan and Wallis Simpson, and the broader comparisons that continue to follow Harry and Meghan.After the break, Zara and Mike Tindall share their very practical view of marriage, and Vanity Fair suggests Lady Louise Windsor is being quietly positioned as a modern, low key asset for the future of the Royal Family.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.👑 Follow our hit series Crown and Controversy!
