We’re wrapping up the Sussexes’ Australia tour and the media narratives that followed before diving into some truly baffling coverage about Meghan “risking backlash” by… referencing her own children in her latest As Ever launch.

From there, we turn to the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, marking what would have been her 100th birthday. We look at how the royal family chose to commemorate the moment, the role of the Royal Collection Trust (including the souvenirs on offer), and what it all tells us about how royal memory is shaped…and sold. 

The collections we reference: https://www.royalcollectionshop.co.uk/queen-elizabeth-ii-centenary-collection/view-all.html 

Plus, thoughts on the announcement of the Queen’s official biographer. What we can realistically expect from a history that’s been institutionally authorized?
