Off With Their Headlines

What do royal cheek kisses, Lamborghini tractors, and AI data schemes have in common? They’re all topics on the latest Friday News Dump! We can’t wait for Trooping the Colour this weekend and Royal Ascot next week, but for now, let’s pick up the crumbs of royal coverage to send us into the weekend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our rrrrroyal conversation this week brings questions of what is owed to “minor” members of the monarchy? From findings out of the National Audit Office’s recent review of royal leases to the legacy of Lady Pamela Hicks, who died last week at age 97, who gets to benefit from their proximity to the crown?

Plus, some fashion chat about last weekend’s royal wedding, where Peter Phillips married Harriet Sperling!

Meredith “Millennial” Constant is BACK, and we are catching up with all things royal: their health struggles, their wedding plans, and their nicknames for one another.

We’re also sitting down with author Caroline Hallemann to discuss her new book, The Kennedys and the Windsors, out now wherever you buy books. It’s the glittering story of two iconic families whose lives, ambitions, and respective reigns have mirrored each other in surprising ways.

Amanda is joined by guest host Sarah Wendell, co-founder of the blog Smart Bitches, Trashy Books and host of the podcast Smart Podcast, Trashy Books. In this supersized Friday News Dump, we’ll muse over topics ranging from royal romance tropes to royal health complications perhaps being used as shields against negative coverage.
