We sat down with Russell J. Myers (royal editor of the Daily Mirror) this week for a chat about his new book, WILLIAM AND CATHERINE - The Monarchy's New Era: The Inside Story.

He shares his insights into Will and Kate’s partnership, their vision for the British Monarchy, and their frustrations over recent family scandals - all of which informed Russell in writing their first joint biography in over a decade.

And because it’s us, we also picked his brain about the Royal Rota, asked about how one goes about sourcing for a royal book, and tested his “Real Housewives” meme comprehension!

WILLIAM AND CATHERINE is out this Thursday, Feb. 26th, in the U.K. and on Tuesday, March 10th, in the U.S.

Today is the day that Friday News Dumps were made for.

That's right, we are talking about the dump...ster fire that was Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's 66th birthday, which started bright and early with a visit from...the police.
In this episode we talk through what happened on Friday, Feb. 19th, the front pages of British papers today, some wild articles/analysis, other royal engagements that still happened yesterday, and more.
