  • A Royal Mess, Weekly Wrap-Up: Is Kate Attending Trooping and Debunking Sussex Stories

    Welcome back to The Brand Breakdown! On this episode we discussed the will she/won't she of whether Kate, The Princess of Wales would be attending Trooping the Colour later this year, how William is reshaping the monachy, and Prince Andrew hitting the headlines again. We also took a look at some of the biggest bombshells that have come from the Sussex camp... and debunked them.

    Editorial Note: In this episode we referenced the Letters Patent of 1937 being the instrument that dictates royal styles and titles. This is incorrect! It’s the Letters Patent of 1917.

This episode also takes us through Catherine's pregnancy with Prince George, the changes that were made to the Order of Succession and to the royal titles and styles of royal babies, and more.

    *Yes, we know - her name is not Kate Middleton. But for SEO purposes, we threw it in there.
