Off With Their Headlines

This episode is packed with the kind of commentary that makes the headlines make sense… and makes the people writing them look even worse. From Queen Camilla’s (apparent) connection to Dolly Parton to King Charles’s charity quietly putting Camilla’s sister Annabelle Elliot on the payroll, we’ll examine the larger pattern of how palace spin really works.That, of course, involves the “men in gray suits” that Princess Diana warned us about: the courtiers and strategists who decide which principal is a problem, which scandals vanish, and which royals get protected at all costs. We’re highlighting three major players from the past few decades to shed some light on these shadowy figures at the heart of “The Firm.”______________________________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?
