Off With Their Headlines

What has led to a Princess of Brunei losing her royal titles? What brought royals from across Europe together—in style!—this week? What do you study at university when you’re the monarchy’s next “secret weapon?”

And WHAT, pray tell, will Prince Harry DO without that classic 7 AM bagpipe wakeup??

Answers to all that and (sadly) more, only in this week’s “yes it is still silly season” episode!

This week, we’re chatting with Hayley Nolan (@hayleynolanhistorian), the Tudor historian and author of the new book NOTORIOUS: Anne Boleyn and the Great Tudor Hoax. This gripping new analysis tells of how Elizabeth Barton, a poverty-stricken housemaid-turned-nun, ultimately delayed Henry VIII’s marriage to Anne Boleyn for seven years. Wielding unimaginable influence over the biggest names in Tudor history—from the Pope to Catherine of Aragon and even the King himself—Barton spearheaded the smear campaign against Anne Boleyn that would eventually ruin her. But was the young girl simply a victim of these Catholic power players or the dastardly mastermind behind this great Tudor hoax?

Hayley is a historian, a TEDx Speaker on Anne Boleyn, an Associate of King’s College London, and is currently at the University of Oxford undertaking her second master’s degree. Her biography Anne Boleyn: 500 Years of Lies was the Independent ‘Book of the Month’ and an Amazon History No. 1 bestseller. 

Then, we’ll dive deeper into the Queen Camilla Future of Journalism Award - a truly impressive patronage for the queen who was once the most reviled news subject in Britain!

In the first OWTH new and improved Friday episode, we’re breezing through some of the royal topics that have everyone buzzing - despite the working royals taking a mid-summer siesta. And we guess you could say…anything goes!

Will Prince Harry be staying at the Palace during his next UK visit? Should we be calling the Princess of Wales…something else? And why DO Amanda’s in-laws have so many turkeys in their backyard?

We’re baaaaack! (crowd booing) 

Amanda and Meredith are catching up on the shenanigans that took hold of the royal news cycle while we were away for summer break, including actress Ruthie Henshall and journalist Charlotte Griffiths both spilling the tea on their connections to princes Edward and Harry (respectively).

Plus, some outlandish royal fashion from Belgium - Princess Delphine never disappoints!

School's out for summer - we're taking a vacation! Before we go, we brought in wedding PR specialist Meghan Ely to discuss the "royal wedding" on everyone's minds: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's opulent Madison Square Garden nuptials. What trends might be sparked? Was Taylor just like us (scrolling Pinterest for decor ideas?) How did the publicity rollout speak to the couple's vision for the day? And was this event really on par with genuine royal weddings?

They've spent 15 years cultivating relationships with the press on a local, national, and even global level, especially editors at wedding publications.

This special Friday News Dump brings you everything you wanted to know (and then some) about royal financial reports! This year’s Sovereign Grant Report and Royal Household Report each brought revelations well beyond the promise of merely getting tax information about the King and Prince of Wales.
