Off With Their Headlines

It's our first ever Friday mini-sode, which we're affectionately terming the Friday News Dump! This will be our space to revisit stories with updates, catch up on stories that didn't make the cut (or emerged too late) for the weekly main feed episode, and just check in before the weekend!

This week, Epstein's e-mails embroil Andrew Mountbatten Windsor (and more) in renewed hot water, Prince William on DWTS, Harry and Meghan's photo deletion has the internet in shambles, and more!

This week, we're breaking down the BBC’s recent high-level resignations and what they reveal about the broadcaster’s long history of caving to establishment pressure.

And elsewhere in royal news: is Prince Andrew’s title shuffle to be completed with a surprising new grammatical addition? Princess Beatrice has a surprisingly expanding public role — is she following her father’s trajectory? And breaking down the optics at play with Harry and Meghan’s night out at Kris Jenner’s birthday bash.

We wrap things up with a look at Remembrancetide royal fashion...and how optics and symbolism are still the monarchy’s favorite PR tools. A dense, analytical, and slightly unhinged episode—in true OWTH fashion!

This week has already been a royal whirlwind taking us across continents…and, of course, the headlines.

There’s Prince Andrew, whose finances are back in the spotlight amid some very fishy new reports. Then, Prince William heads to Brazil for the Earthshot Prize and COP30…but some are questioning whether his sustainability message lands as allyship or optics.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry pops up in Canada, sparking (you guessed it) another round of “upstaging” speculation. And finally, David Beckham finally gets his knighthood! Why it took so long and what it means for royal image-making.

🎃 Spooky season has come to the House of Windsor! We’re exploring what’s haunting the royals, from King Charles’s Vatican visit (spooking traditionalists everywhere) to Camilla’s gothic chic fashion choices at the Holy See.

Then, a chilling Prince Andrew update: titles gone, Royal Lodge in question, followed by a ghostly “Annus Horribilis showdown” as we debate whether 1992 or 2021 was the Windsors’ most frightful year. 👻 Plus: the haunted halls of Castle Glamis (birthplace of the late Queen Mother) and the scariest thing for a modern royal—press intrusion—as Will and Kate win a legal action to keep the cameras at bay.

This week, we’re zooming in on the week’s bombshell royal headline: Prince Andrew’s so-called “relinquishment” of his titles. This comes, of course, in the wake of accuser Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, as well as emerging details about Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. We walk through the full timeline of the allegations and fallout going back to 1999, what’s actually changing now (and what isn’t), and how new details continue to surface daily. 

Plus, we look at how King Charles III and Prince William are shaping the coverage…and why the palace’s press strategy matters more than ever.

We also touch on the Sussexes’ favorite media outlet and preview a few intriguing royal book releases on the horizon.

**Apologies for the audio and video quality this week, as Meredith was crouched in a basement (not a royal’s) to record in the wake of an internet outage.**

Our resolve to take the week after Amanda's wedding off lasted about as long as it took Prince William to scooter his way to Eugene Levy on "The Reluctant Traveler".

While Amanda was walking down the aisle, Meghan was strutting the streets of Paris to her Paris Fashion Week debut to support her friend and new creative director for Balenciaga, Pierpaolo Piccioli.

We'll get into all of that plus:

Amanda's wedding (longer, Patreon-exclusive bonus ep. coming soon!), Princess Anne's visit to Ukraine, Kate's wedding makeup AND walking backwards in heels, Luxembourg's Royal Coronation, and more.

Thanks to our Patreon Press Secretaries: Lulu, Molly, Nikki, and Jessica, and our Crown Jewel: Sir Chrisssstopher of the Baby's Breath and newly crowned order of St. Amalia, Crown Princess of Norway.

This week we are all about love (and necklines---it'll make sense we promise) in this very special episode, featuring the future Mr. Matta himself...Shane. Meredith grills...erm, chats, with Shane and Amanda about their meet-cute, beanies, if Shane's learned anything about the royals, wedding dress predictions, and a very special Cosmo Girl-style quiz you are not going to want to miss (it will be posted on Patreon if you'd like to play along!)

If you'd like to get Amanda and Shane a wedding gift, the very first thing on their registry is a 5-star Apple Review! (allegedly) Leave one here.

We’re unpacking some of the stranger (and shadier) royal stories in recent headlines. First up: Sarah Ferguson has been dropped from seven charities after an email sent to Jeffrey Epstein raised eyebrows. Then, a questionable claim that Prince Harry already has his young son’s name down for Eton.

We also review Netflix’s new documentary Royal Rebels, which spotlights Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and Shaman Durek…and seems to be chasing the success of another royal tell-all. Head over to Patreon this week for a more in-depth breakdown.

And finally, a trip through fashion history: how and why the pussy bow blouse became one of Kate Middleton’s signature style choices.

Two weeks, two whirlwind international royal visits…but who will be Britain’s Next Top Global Statesman? 

Amanda and Meredith are breaking down this week’s State Visit from the United States to the United Kingdom - how “historic” really IS Donald Trump’s second official invitation to dine with the royals? Plus, a recap of Prince Harry’s trip to Britain and Ukraine last week, which was full of surprises!

Can a blonde hair makeover be considered a “main story?” Asking for a friend.

Amanda and Meredith are catching up on a bevy of royal headlines, including the passing of the Duchess of Kent and, yes, how absolutely no one could be normal about the Princess of Wales’ “sun-kissed” blonde tresses. Plus, Sophie in Canada, Harry in London, and Princess Anne’s birthday write-up getting a palace staffer (presumably) sent to the tower.

Head over to Patreon for this month’s deep dive bonus episode, in which Meredith zooms in on the questionable press angles and headlines before and after Di’s passing!
