Off With Their Headlines

I don't know what blessed astrology I stepped into when I got Omid Scobie to agree to guest-host the pod BEFORE we knew about Prince Harry and Meghan's Nottingham engagements, but there is no one better to talk to than someone who was there back in 2017 for the couple's first royal visit as a newly engaged couple

Omid was an Honorary Member of the Royal Rota for years and is the NYT Bestselling author of "Finding Freedom", "Endgame" and a fictional series co-authored with Robin Benway called "Royal Spin" that has it's paperback release early next year.

Omid and I get into today's engagements, the press coverage, what's changed in Royal reporting since he was last in the game and why he decided to put himself back in the narrative (sorry I couldn't resist a Hamilton reference) with his brand-new Substack, Off-Script.
Thanks again to Omid and we'll see you next week (Amanda too!)

Hello (Hahhhloohw), it's still Meredith here with your Royal Briefing, but have no fear, Amanda will be back next week and, if not, I'll have one of those Margaret Thatcher Foundation bros deport her back to the States.

In the meantime there's a ton of Royal news to discuss including:

-Former Prince Andrew's court victory & King Charles footing the bill...for the payments he owes for repairs on the Royal Lodge.
-A college professor accused of an actual crime who isn't getting the Dr. Jason Arday treatment.
-A preview of Prince Harry & Meghan's "non-Royal" engagements on Thursday.
-Will & Kate's engagements, especially Charlotte and Catherine 'spotted' on the Tube (Royals, they're just like us!)
-and a very silly story about courtiers being 'too woke' about this particular sport.

While Amanda is away, we are sharing the Summer Mailbag that aired on Patreon in late August. We recorded it right after the news broke that Prince Harry & Meghan were moving back to the U.K., which makes for an interesting snapshot in time.

If you want to join our Patreon, there's never been a better time. We just dropped our bonus episode and it's our first ever "Burn Book featuring...Prince William. This one will probably always live behind a paywall so if you want to listen, check it out here: Burn Book: Prince William

While Amanda is out galavanting across the pond, Meredith is taking over the helm for the next 2 weeks of episodes
.
In some ways it feels like October 2025 all over again. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is in the news and Meghan is upsetting someone with an As Ever drop.
In today's Rrrroyal Briefing, we discuss Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's legal complaint against the Thames Valley Police in conjunction with his Feb. 2026 arrest, the announcement from unnamed sources that King Charles will not foot the bill, Prince Harry & Meghan spotted out and about and a "holy" uproar over As Ever's Advent Calendar drop, ending things with King Charles upcoming Caribbean Tour and where he stands on the issue of reparations in regards to the transatlantic slave trade.

It was a whirlwind week of royal reports, scandals, rumors, and appearances…and it all left us wondering, “What if Meghan wasn’t the problem after all?”

From (another) security threat seemingly inspired simply by the Sussex family existing in the UK, to allegations of Buckingham Palace taking measures to address “drinking culture” in its staff quarters, it seems that with every passing news cycle we get more evidence all that glitters isn’t, in fact, gold.

Plus, updates on a threatened defamation suit against Charles, Earl Spencer, and discussions of Prince William and Prince Harry’s increasingly different approaches to honoring their mother’s legacy.
