  • 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: King Just Gave Andrew ANOTHER $2m! Live and Exclusive With Jobbo
Q: Do you think there's a sense that people feel that Andrew is kind of blackmailing the royal family?
Jobson says Andrew has much to lose and may have information about the Epstein case, while the King and the monarchy could face damaging revelations if the matter reaches court or Andrew publishes a book.
LIVE: King Just Gave Andrew ANOTHER $2m! Live and Exclusive With Jobbo
Q: The King has lent Andrew one and a half million pounds to settle the repair bill at Royal Lodge. I mean, what's going on?
Jobson says the King has substantial private resources and wants Andrew out of Royal Lodge and away from public attention. He characterizes the loan as part of the effort to resolve the situation and limit reputational damage.
LIVE: How Ex-Prince Andrew Humiliated the Police: With Marcus Johnstone
Q: Can evidence seized under an unlawful warrant still be used?
It may still be used under provisions of law allowing illegally obtained evidence to be retained or admitted. Andrew's lawyers can challenge the police's application to keep the material and seek to exclude evidence if there is a prosecution.
LIVE: How Ex-Prince Andrew Humiliated the Police: With Marcus Johnstone
Q: What is the error that was made?
The warrant was authorized under Section 8, which covers ordinary evidence, rather than Section 9, which applies when confidential material is expected to be seized. The High Court therefore found the warrant unlawful.
Wild Truth About Ex-Prince Andrew's New Lover
Q: What are you making of Meghan's sartorial return to the UK?
Plum Sykes says Meghan's Le Chameau boots fit established British country style, but argues that her broader wardrobe and inconsistent fashion-platform activity lack a distinctive identity and a reliable commercial strategy.
