This week, there’s one topic dominating the royal news cycle: newly released files from the US Dept. of Justice that implicate royals with Jeffrey Epstein. Among the mentions are new revelations about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson’s connections to the disgraced financier, as well as illuminating details which suggest that his relationship with Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway was…more intimate than previously understood.

Content Warning: discussion of sexual violence and harm of minors.

We also discuss the wild new/old spin on Prince William’s upcoming diplomatic trip, and a possible spanner in the works for Andrew’s new royal home.

This week, we’re joined by historian Dr. Brooke Newman, author of the new book THE CROWN’S SILENCE: The Hidden History of the British Monarchy and Slavery. The book traces the British monarchy’s long, deliberate entanglement with slavery in the Americas, and Dr. Newman walks us through what the historical record demonstrates: royal investments and strategic silence helped build and sustain a transatlantic slave system for centuries.

Until now, that history has been carefully obscured by comforting national myths. But with newly unearthed historical documentation, how much longer can the monarchy put off reckoning with the legacy of a harmful system it actively created?

Dr. Newman brings a rare combination of rigor, clarity, and generosity to this often-obscured subject. You won’t want to miss THE CROWN’S SILENCE, available now wherever you buy books! https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-crowns-silence-brooke-n-newman?variant=43822878130210

Just in time for the dump of snow (and freezing temps) across a lot of the United States, we are here with the Friday news dump and our hottest takes.
We talk Prince Harry's testimony and the phone-hacking trial, Catherine, Princess of Wales's fashion collab for one, Prince William's global statesman trip to Saudi Arabia next month, and the reaction to "With Love, Meghan" streaming numbers and who gets to decide if it was a bomb.

Stay warm and stay tuned for our Royal Equerry bonus episode that drops this weekend on our Patreon for the $5 tier and up! If you would like some, ah hem, visual aides, upgrade to the $10 and up tier.

TY to our Patreon Press Secretaries Nikki, Jessica, and Molly and our Crown Jewel, Sir Chrrrirssttoooophhherrrrr!
