We’re back! And so is Prince Harry, who returns to the UK and meets Prince William for the first time in a year at the funeral of Prince Philip. We put our body language expert hats on to discuss the big reunion, as well as a week’s worth of frenzied build-up and the drama around who’s wearing what and who’s standing where. Plus, Prince Andrew stages another stealth comeback operation and Kate Middleton earns a new title as the “peacemaker” bringing the brothers closer together.

One person who hasn’t been struggling in the American job market? Prince Harry, who has landed a job at a for-profit mental health company in Silicon Valley. We’re talking his new roles, as well as the palace’s hunt for a diversity tsar and Camilla Parker-Bowles repping Brand Wales on a “work trip” to Greece. Elsewhere, the Cambridges have more words to say about mental health, Kate Middleton’s private letter somehow becomes front-page news, and Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis saddle up and allegedly shovel shit. Plus, the Queen refuses to say why police aren’t allowed to search her private property for looted artefacts, and Meghan Markle fights food poverty with cake and cash.

From the moment Oprah’s interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry began, we wondered how the royal family would respond to their claims. That response turns out to be… not great! We’re breaking down a week of curious paparazzi shots, lukewarm statements, tone-deaf photo opps, and Prince William’s excruciating reply to an impromptu query. Plus, we discuss the Meghan effect on the British media, Kate Middleton’s surprise appearance at the memorial for Sarah Everard, and how the royals marked Mother’s Day.

CW: racism, suicide
Once upon a time, in a mystical kingdom built on colonialism, fear and emotional repression, a lost prince fell in love with an American lifestyle blogger. On entering the castle, an evil queen stole her voice, and our lifestyle blogger learned she would have to endure racism, isolation and flesh-coloured tights in stoic silence for the rest of her days, until finally! She and her prince escaped to a far-off land of opportunity, Madea movies and 16-bathroom homes, where she found her voice once more — just in time to share it with the nation’s Queen of Talk. Did the interview live up to the hype? Listen in and find out! And may that old castle crumble and its monarchy fall... that’s our happily ever after.

The countdown is on to the Sussexes’ sit-down with Oprah is on, and the royals are absolutely shitting themselves. We couldn’t let this week go by without recapping the chaos that has unfolded in the build up to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first public interview since quitting royal duties, and there’s a lot to talk about: bullying allegations, explosive teasers, unsavoury earrings, leaky courtiers and an astonishing takedown of the monarchy from none other than Suits’s Mike Ross. Join us for our primer for the TV event of the year.

Ding ding! Welcome to the HeirHeads bus service to Bel Air, inspired by Prince Harry’s segment on James Corden’s Late Late Show this week. Along the way, we’ll be making a few other stops to discuss the “Magnificent Seven”, the Queen’s Commonwealth Day scheduling issues, the Sussexes’ Spotify promo, and a recent investigation into Prince Andrew’s role in British arms deals with the Middle East. Jump aboard and take a seat, but be warned: we’re going to get muddy...

The Sussexes’ one year review is in, and to sum it up: we are never, ever, ever getting back together. Join us as we sift through a week’s worth of push notifications, from Baby Sussex 2 to the Oprah interview to the duelling statements from the Palace and the Sussexes about their official separation. Plus, we’re talking royal feet pics, the privacy vs publicity debate, and the growing rift between Prince William and Prince Harry.

What is Queen’s consent? We attempt to give a non-boring account of this arcane parliamentary procedure and explain why it has no place in a modern democracy. Elsewhere, Meghan Markle wins her court case against the Mail on Sunday, and we break down the confusing press coverage of the judgement. Plus, Princess Eugenie gives birth to a baby boy, and Jack Brooksbank is there too.

The royal family’s year-long campaign to make Sophie Wessex happen has allegedly borne fruit: Boris Johnson believes Prince Edward and Sophie could stop the Scottish independence movement in its tracks! Elsewhere, Prince William no longer believes racism is “boring”, and even deigns to tweet about it, while we catch up on the controversial 1969 documentary the Queen had banned from TV. Plus, Meghan Markle makes a strongly-worded statement about mysterious changes to Archie’s birth certificate, and Prince Harry secures an expensive win in his tabloid battle.
