Off With Their Headlines

It was a busy week back to working royal duties and there was plenty of news to cover. We celebrate Kate's 44th birthday, discuss her first surprise royal engagement with Prince William, follow back up on The Times UK profile that allegedly upset King Charles and Camilla, before moving on to 2 equally insane Meghan, Duchess of Sussex stories, ending with William, Kate, and that chopper video.New episodes every Wednesday and Friday! Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?

Hours worked or impact made? Visibility or substance? This week’s episode is all about how royal labor is defined, sold, and scrutinized…and why the metrics rarely tell the full story.We unpack the news that Prince Harry has almost regained armed protection, revisit the long-running debate over the “hardest working royals” (and what the Court Circular really measures), and break down why claims about William and Kate “highlighting British excellence” in 2026 feel… redundant. Isn’t that…the job?We also look at some tired (yet always amusing!) reporting around Meghan’s brand, and a round of 44th birthday coverage about Kate that reveals *checks notes* …very little.______________________________New episodes every Wednesday and Friday! Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?

In our final episode of 2025, we revisit some of the wildest stories of 2025. Kate's hair trick that left fans stunned? Princess Anne's emotional-support lipstick for William? Meghan's audacious demand to share a b-day with not one, but TWO important royal events? All of that plus, Mr. Of Fact drops by to give us a "normie" view of the big stories of the year (spoiler: they are extremely niche and we love him for it).New episodes every Wednesday and Friday! Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content and more: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?

So many royal-adjacent stories, so little real accountability. We’re checking in with one journalist whose apology to Meghan's mum could so easily have been avoided, another who clearly needs a journal for Christmas, an Earl who owes his girlfriend damages after she sued his ex-wife, and some updates from brothers King Charles and Prince Andrew. ______________________________Join Amanda in LondonJoin Amanda for German + Czech Christmas Markets______________________________New episodes every Wednesday and Friday! Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content and more: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?

Amanda asked for a chill episode...so they spoke about a diplomatic state visit and Meredith launched into a diatribe about the coverage of Meghan and her father.But seriously, we get into a festive-ish mood, covering the "With Love, Meghan" holiday special, the German State Visit to the U.K., new (old) tiaras, Kate's fashion, a world salad of a letter to guests of the 'Karoling Koncert', and more.
