  • Peter Phillips

    Peter Phillips is a private citizen and is the first legitimate grandchild of a British monarch in over 500 years to be born without a title or courtesy style. Therefore he doesn’t use a Royal Title simply because he doesn’t have one .

    Also if you want to buy the Classic ‘Emily Jane” coat, I suggest a trip to Trotters where they are fully available from £170. No need to have them made.

  • Too much anti Meghan and Harry not enough anti Andrew

    They should be more focused on Andrew than being so anti Harry and Meghan

  • The Royalist

    Absolutely love this podcast and its insider reporting on the Royals. Paula Froelich and Tom Sykes have the most entertaining delivery styles . They keep me laughing but believe me when I say they scoop any mainstream news outlet out there. Tom’s sister Plum also joins with fascinating insight into the fashion world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Preaching Meghan Exposed Her Own Hypocrisy
Q: In Spare, Harry blames William and Catherine for advising him to wear the Nazi outfit; you go further in your book—how do you explain Catherine's role in that moment?
I acknowledge that Catherine was involved in the group dynamics around the costume but emphasize the broader generation and cultural context; the incident is treated as a serious misstep amplified by media, and the conversation around responsibility is nuanced, not one-sided.
How Preaching Meghan Exposed Her Own Hypocrisy
Q: Christopher, your new book is called Kate rather than Catherine, which is what she preferred to be called—why did you choose that title?
The title reflects how, on this side of the Atlantic, she is universally known as Kate; polls in the U.S. and Britain show that usage, so I used Kate to align with common public reference while still acknowledging her formal title as Catherine.
Secrets of Trump's Weird Royal Fetish Exposed
Q: Why do you think Donald Trump seems to respect the royal family, almost seems to be the only person in the whole of the United Kingdom he does respect as a member of the royal family?
Robert Hardman suggests Trump's respect stems from a sense of historical continuity and shared symbolism with the monarchy, plus Trump's ability to separate the monarchy from partisan politics; he notes Trump's admiration for the Queen and the ceremonial power of the monarchy as an enduring, almost timeless institution beyond contemporary political frictions.
Why Desperate Meghan is Spiraling
Q: Meghan is spiraling. What exactly do you mean by that and what are your sources telling you about her mental state and the happiness of the couple?
The analysis suggests Meghan stays extremely busy but tends to move in many directions without a clear, consistent plan, leading to a perception of desperation and a lack of focus.
Meghan's Staff Expose Shocking Way She Treats Them
Q: What is Katie Nicholl discussing in her interview about Angela Kelly?
Nicholl explains Angela Kelly's unique position as the Queen's confidant and gatekeeper, detailing how their friendship developed, Kelly's loyalty, and the dramatic tiara gate episode that highlighted the boundaries of palace etiquette.
