Reign Check - with Amanda Matta and Michael Panter

Amanda and Michael unpack a jam-packed week in royal news — from anti-monarchy protesters stealing the show at Trooping the Colour and the question of whether it's ever okay to boo the Royal Family, to the passing of Lady Pamela Hicks, the last living relative of Queen Victoria. The episode closes with a bombshell from Norway: Crown Princess Mette-Marit's son has been sentenced to four years in prison for rape — and the hosts draw uncomfortable parallels with the unresolved allegations against Prince Andrew. 

In this week's episode, we take a look at the potential causes of the ugly blackeye sported by former prince Andrew. Elsewhere, is Prince William set to make a huge decision concerning the Royal Family when he becomes king? 

In this episode of Reign Check, we dive into the latest royal headlines surrounding the British monarchy. Is Queen Camilla really blocking Prince Harry’s possible return to the royal fold? Why is Prince William reportedly selling off a major part of his Duchy of Cornwall land portfolio? And as William and Catherine prepare for their future roles as king and queen, why have they decided Buckingham Palace won’t become their permanent home?

We take a look at the bombshell news that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is being investigated over sexual offenses. Plus, what comes first on a scone, the cream or the jam? And is Sarah Ferguson about to blackmail the Royal Family?

Synopsis: This week, we cover King Charles eventful time in the US, including his headline-grabbing interactions with Donald Trump. We also ponder just who the diamond Koh-i-Noor diamond belongs to... and did Prince William and Kate Middleton break protocol on their 15th anniversary?
