Off With Their Headlines
Pomp, Protests, and Public Image
This week on Off With Their Headlines...we’re breaking down Trooping the Colour from all sides: the Republic protests, the optics of royal spectacle vs. Trump-style “birthday parades,” and of course, a closer look at the fashion moments that stole the show.
We also unpack the news that Kate pulled out of Royal Ascot, with the Palace emphasizing her need to “find the right balance” in her return to public life post-treatment. And over in Montecito, Meghan’s standout podcast appearance with Emma Grede has us talking ambition and media narratives once again…just in time for another As Ever drop this Friday.
