The British press may have found its next royal scapegoats, and this week we're asking why. Royal biographer Andrew Lownie joins us to discuss the futures of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie…and what scrutiny of “minor royals” reveals about the institution. He’s the author of ENTITLED: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, with the paperback forthcoming this May.Plus, our take on coverage from Commonwealth Day 2026: who wore what, who showed up, and who was outside making sure the ceremony didn't go uncontested.______________________________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?

We sat down with Russell J. Myers (royal editor of the Daily Mirror) this week for a chat about his new book, WILLIAM AND CATHERINE - The Monarchy's New Era: The Inside Story. He shares his insights into Will and Kate’s partnership, their vision for the British Monarchy, and their frustrations over recent family scandals - all of which informed Russell in writing their first joint biography in over a decade.And because it’s us, we also picked his brain about the Royal Rota, asked about how one goes about sourcing for a royal book, and tested his “Real Housewives” meme comprehension!WILLIAM AND CATHERINE is out this Thursday, Feb. 26th, in the U.K. and on Tuesday, March 10th, in the U.S.______________________________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?

How far will the royals go (literally or figuratively) to distance themselves from the former Prince Andrew?This week on Off With Their Headlines, we’re unpacking the choreography of royal distance, from Princess Kate and Queen Camilla’s carefully chosen UK engagements to Sarah Ferguson in Qatar and William in Saudi Arabia.We also break down the royal Valentine’s Day headline battle, a truly unserious narrative about Kate’s “new favorite color” (and what it supposedly symbolizes), our 2026 astrology predictions, and last week’s eyebrow-raising court appearance (and fashion) from Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively.______________________________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?
