In this episode…dive into how the royals are marking Commonwealth Day 2025—including a playlist from King Charles to spark joy (we have thoughts). Then, the reactions to ‘With Love, Meghan.’ Who’s praising it, who’s panning it, and what does it mean for Meghan’s evolving public image?
And we know you were wondering…who are the current front runners to be the next pope? Amanda unpacks the growing buzz around a potential papal conclave this year.

This week, Amanda and Meredith are serving up a chatty episode covering all the latest headlines. First, Meghan Markle’s PEOPLE interview and the pre-launch buzz around her new Netflix show—what’s being said, and what’s being left unsaid? Then, the political theater unfolding between the UK and the US—from whispers of a second Trump state visit to the royal embrace of President Zelenskyy after that disastrous Oval Office meeting.
And finally, a little fashion tea: Oscars 2025 style moments! The hits, the misses, and the red carpet politics of it all.

This week, Amanda and Meredith are joined by attorney and internet sensation Reb Masel to break down the latest in both royal and legal absurdity. First up: the wild (and wildly untrue) stories about Prince Harry’s "deportation." Then, the overblown discourse around Meghan Markle’s trademarks for ARO and As Ever—because somehow, filing paperwork is now a scandal?
Finally, we shift gears to the legal fights that actually matter—and let Reb break down Trump’s executive orders, as well as the (real) legal experts working to stop them.

This week, we’re diving deep into the intersection of race and the monarchy with author Sarah Raughley, whose new book The Queen’s Spade explores the life of Queen Victoria’s African goddaughter, Sarah Forbes Bonetta. We discuss the historical realities of race, colonialism, and power—and how they still echo in royal narratives today.
Plus, we break down Meghan Markle’s rebrand to “As Ever.” What’s the strategy, and what does it signal for her next chapter? And why does it feel like there’s no room for critical discussion of Meghan without turning to extremes?
Get The Queen’s Spade wherever books are sold.
Event: Afternoon Tea with Amanda! (April 5, 2025)

Royal love stories are the stuff of fairy tales…or are they? This Valentine’s Day, Amanda and Meredith pull back the curtain on royal romances that weren’t as they seemed—from the infamous Wallis Simpson & Edward VIII to Charles & Camilla. Plus, what IS the reason British Princes have such a history of cheating?
Whether you're a romantic or a skeptic, this one has it all: scandal, devotion, and most importantly, the truth behind the palace-approved narrative.

The Royals know that every move—whether it’s a birth announcement, a wardrobe choice, or a media strategy—tells a story. But who’s really in control of the narrative?
This week, Meredith and Amanda discuss the birth of (and reaction to…) the new baby who is 11th in line to the British throne, tease you with some thoughts on Prince William’s war on “new media,” and break down the Palace’s new approach to the Princess of Wales’ fashion.
Plus, how do the 2025 Grammys play into all of this? Let’s just say, whether in Buckingham Palace or Hollywood, image is everything. 🎭✨

Meredith is moving, Amanda is turning 30, it's a wild week. This episode includes a follow up on NGN's settlement with Prince Harry and if this moment with the media calls for Love Actually's Prime Minister, Hugh Grant, to lay the smackdown while grooving to Jump (For My Love). Then we transition into the politics of fashion; from previous First Ladies to royal women and the women who think they are royalty. (Seriously, does Ivanka think that American Royals' is a historical series?) We wrap it up with the unexpected royal connection with the incoming administration that brings some of our old faves into the mix. Hint: His name rhymes with Park Molland!
Enjoy.

What started out as a laid-back chat quickly became a lengthy discussion of Prince Harry's legal battle against Rupert Murdoch's news empire, NGN. Spoiler alert: there is a conclusion and settlement in that case. If only we had known that when we sat down to record.
Topics in this month's coffee talk include royal updates, the attempted TikTok ban, THAT Vanity Fair Article, the winter weather, and ongoing Hollywood lawsuits.

UPDATE:
On Tuesday, Jan. 14th 2025 Catherine, The Princess of Wales announced in an IG caption showcasing a surprise visit to Royal Marsden Hospital that she is in remission.
In this episode, Meredith and Amanda examine the unprecedented year of royal updates (and speculation) surrounding Catherine, Princess of Wales's health journey. From the initial palace announcement of a “planned abdominal surgery” to the evolving public narrative surrounding her cancer treatment, we break down the palace’s communication strategy, the media’s response, and the public’s reaction.
This has been one of the most discussed royal stories in recent memory, and so we're dedicating one of our first episodes of 2025 to unpacking how this narrative unfolded.

Amanda and Meredith dive into two royal stories that couldn't be more different: Meghan Markle's triumphant return to the screen with her new series, and the controversy surrounding members of the former Greek monarchy attempting to reclaim citizenship in their homeland. From American entrepreneurship to European constitutional drama, we're unpacking what these stories reveal about modern monarchy, how they speak to our ideas of national identity, and what these developments mean for royal media coverage.
