    Would it be possible for you all to explore more interesting (trashy) royals from outside the UK and figures that have had plenty of attention throughout history?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

158. Andrew Morton is Back - Talking Fergie, Randy Andy, & More Windsor Scandals
Q: Do you think that Charles will pull that or will it be on William to do that?
I think it's going to be on William's dime, as he is stepping up to manage royal affairs amidst King Charles's health issues and the surrounding discussions about the monarchy's future.
158. Andrew Morton is Back - Talking Fergie, Randy Andy, & More Windsor Scandals
Q: What was your reaction when the news started to tumble out that King Charles had made some different decisions for how his administration was going to go in the last few weeks?
Initially surprised, as the tactic was to kick the can down the road. The Andrew and Virginia Gaffrey situation wouldn't go away, and the royal family's image was significantly affected.
158. Andrew Morton is Back - Talking Fergie, Randy Andy, & More Windsor Scandals
Q: Do you think their relationship got better once they weren't married?
Yes, they called themselves the happiest divorced couple but Sarah used Andrew's name to try and get money, which is a recurring issue for her.
151. Andrew Morton Talks Winston Churchill, The Windsor Family, and More!
Q: Unpack a little bit about Winston and Queen Elizabeth II. What was their relationship like?
Churchill's relationship with Queen Elizabeth II evolved from initial dismissal to a deep respect for her intelligence and leadership, as they shared a love for horses and horse racing, which forged a strong bond.
151. Andrew Morton Talks Winston Churchill, The Windsor Family, and More!
Q: Could you walk us through Churchill's relationships with the Windsor monarchs throughout history?
Churchill had varying relationships with multiple monarchs; he started with a father-son dynamic with Edward VII, faced distrust from George V, had a bromance with George VI, and initially viewed Queen Elizabeth II as dismissively until he recognized her capabilities.
