October 27 Dang, Prince William Can Be Charming When He Wants to Be

October 06 Kate and William, The Royal "Good Double Act"
Can't you just picture it: Prince William and Princess Kate side-by-side, ignoring their dishwasher in favor of hand cleaning the plates and utensils from dinner? That's the happy domestic picture Kate painted on a recent engagement, while elsewhere in England, Princess Anne took a principled stand against... running. And finally, we recap a heck of a night in New York City that saw Charles Spencer and his wife, Former Nordic Person of the Year Dr. Cat Jarmon, venture out for a conversation with Tina Brown.

September 29 Book Club 2: Charles Spencer's Version
Princess Diana's little brother, Charles Spencer, has set the royal-watching world alight with his new memoir, Swan Song. In this Winsors & Losers Book Club, episode two, Eva and Allie assess Charles's version of his and Diana's childhoods and how their lives changed when she married the other Charles, the then Prince of Wales. Is Charles Spencer giving us revisionist history, or merely logging what he knows for the good of history? Is he actually continuing a feud with Diana's former butler Paul Burrell, or really just telling the world he dated South Africa's first supermodel, "Josie"? We recount all of this — and, of course — rank a Windsor and a Loser, in this week's episode.

Elsewhere, Harriet and Peter Phillips are still married and a unique rumor about William and Kate make the rounds.

August 25 12 Semi-Educated Theories on Harry and Meghan's Return
August is usually a dull month for royal-watchers, but thanks to Harry and Meghan, the last four weeks have been a whirl of wind! Unless one resides under a sizable boulder, one would know that Harry and Meghan Sussex have decided to pick up sticks and trade Montecito, California for TBD, England. Today, hosts Eva and Allie share twelve theories about why, exactly, this move may be happening and why it matters. And, in other news, they discuss a bombshell from Princess Diana's brother and King Charles's wildly excessive gift to an artisanal craftsperson.

August 04 Book Club 1: The Serve-and-Tell Memoir That Changed Everything
Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Windsors & Losers Book Club. In lieu of a traditional weekly episode, Eva and Allie are launching a periodic mini-series about — in their humble opinions — the best royal biographies and autobiographies of all time.
The first episode goes back to the book that started a cottage industry of "serve-and-tell" memoirs, in which former royal employees lift the lid on what life is really like with the Windsor family. The Little Princesses, by Elizabeth and Margaret's one-time governess Marion Crawford, is a saccharine look inside the girls' wartime childhoods. But what happened next is the real story; Marion turned into something of a cautionary tale.
