The Brand Breakdown Courtney & Michelle

On this week's episode Michelle and Courtney break down The Duchess of Sussex's American Riviera Orchard (ARO) Jam influencer promo, Harry's official residency move from the UK to the US, The King and Prince William's plans for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in October, and a few other royal bits and bobs.
Huge apologies for the poor audio on this one - Courtney was trying to record in a new space and it did NOT work out at all. If you can tolerate the clicking through the entire episode, it's a fun one!

There's been a TON going on in the royal realm this week - and we're here to break it all down for you. On this episode of The Brand Breakdown's A Royal Mess Weekly Wrap-up we're discussing the fact that the Sussexes perfectly (?) timed not one but two announcements to try and derail an important event for Prince William, diving into the Kate Middleton photogate scandal a little bit more, and giving a quick update on King Charles and his cancer battle.

Welcome to the final episode in The Brand Breakdown's series on Kate Middleton, The Princess of Wales. In this episode we're taking a look at how the royal family as a whole, and Kate in particular, can overcome controversy if they seem reluctant to let go of the royal's motto of "never complain, never explain." For a woman who hasn't put a foot wrong in over 20 years in the spotlight, the past few weeks have shown us that perhaps the royal PR and branding department needs to make some adjustments.

Welcome back to The Brand Breakdown! On this episode we discussed the will she/won't she of whether Kate, The Princess of Wales would be attending Trooping the Colour later this year, how William is reshaping the monachy, and Prince Andrew hitting the headlines again. We also took a look at some of the biggest bombshells that have come from the Sussex camp... and debunked them.
Editorial Note: In this episode we referenced the Letters Patent of 1937 being the instrument that dictates royal styles and titles. This is incorrect! It’s the Letters Patent of 1917.
