    Russell Myers on William and Catherine’s Vision for the Monarchy

    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. ______________________________ New episodes every Wednesday and Friday!  Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines  Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.

    Going the Distance (from Andrew Mountbatten Windsor)

    How far will the royals go (literally or figuratively) to distance themselves from the former Prince Andrew? This week on Off With Their Headlines, we’re unpacking the choreography of royal distance, from Princess Kate and Queen Camilla’s carefully chosen UK engagements to Sarah Ferguson in Qatar and William in Saudi Arabia. We also break down the royal Valentine’s Day headline battle, a truly unserious narrative about Kate’s “new favorite color” (and what it supposedly symbolizes), our 2026 astrology predictions, and last week’s eyebrow-raising court appearance (and fashion) from Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. ______________________________ New episodes every Wednesday and Friday!  Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines  Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.

    "Royal Spin" Discussion with Omid Scobie & Robin Benway

    As an early Valentine's Day treat and in lieu of our Friday News Dump we are releasing a longer than usual episode featuring our conversation with authors of the new fiction book, "Royal Spin", Omid Scobie and Robin Benway. We talk about what from Omid's time as a royal reporter went into the book, what it's like to co-author a book, and how much smut is enough smut? It's a great convo and a fantastic book. "Royal Spin" is out now wherever books are sold! Note: We will have more about Andrew and Epstein updates as well as Prince William's trip to Saudi Arabia. Stay tuned for more.

    New Revelations and Royals in the Epstein Files

    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.  ______________________________ New episodes every Wednesday and Friday! Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines  Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.
