  • I’m over it

    Not a huge “royalist” but the obvious bias against Harry in this is now way too hard to swallow. Should be called the pro William and Charles podcast. Also. As a Canadian I am sick of all this Royal Family narrative. They should not be the head of our state. Canada is independent and has no need to be part of the commonwealth WHAT IS THE BENEFIT?? Where is Charles in the American bullying of Canada. I love the daily beast. But I’m out here guys. Suggestions: more objectivity. Less personal opini... more

  • Dire

    Waffley and over-reliant on clueless Americans who know nothing about British culture or mores and still less about the royal family. This podcast would be immeasurably improved by dropping them (and with them their frequent factual errors) and by having Andrew Lownie on more often. That said, as a serious writer who actually knows his stuff, I doubt he’d come on unless he had a book out.

  • Harry & Meghan’s Dangerous Plan

    Great podcast series! Very enjoyable and the guests are varied and informed. Paula Froelich and Plum are wonderful regular guests and my favorites. One suggestion, Tom, Harry isn’t in danger of a nut job, he IS the nut job! 😂

  • Great podcast

    Depressing news that they are coming back. And worrying about what you are saying regarding people forgetting what they have done . I was a staunch royalist but thinking of changing that view unless titles for all are taken away.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LIVE: Exclusive Special! TOM BOWER'S Withering Analysis of The Markle Debacle
Q: What has happened to the King's public standing, and what should he do about Harry and Meghan's return to Britain?
Bower says Charles's popularity has declined partly because he has not connected with the public as Queen Elizabeth II did. He argues that Charles should set a firm boundary with Harry and Meghan and tell them to leave Britain.
LIVE: Exclusive Special! TOM BOWER'S Withering Analysis of The Markle Debacle
Q: What did you make of the whole affair, first of all, and specifically, what do you make of the claims today in The Times, where Meghan is basically saying that she was told not to say anything about it?
Bower says the reports shocked him, questions the reliability of the material and sources, and says the allegations are serious while key details still need to emerge. He argues that Meghan's estrangement from her father predates the letter she later cited and that the story is affecting the royal family.
Meghan's New Victim Strategy Exposed
Q: Why weren't you falling for the new sympathy for Meghan?
Robert Jobson argued that the Thomas Markle revelations did not change Meghan and Harry's past conduct, and that their account of the media's role did not fit the timeline or the opportunities they had to disclose the allegations.
Meghan's New Victim Strategy Exposed
Q: What did you make of King Charles' visit to the Caribbean?
Paula Froelich said Charles had handled the tour well as a diplomat, with lively public appearances helping him sidestep the dispute over reparations.

Q: So Paula, what did you make of William's appearance on The Graham Norton Show?
