Whew! There's more: Wimbledon is upon us! This led Kate to show off her serve on the court in a new vid with the one, the only Roger Federer. (Are they BFFers? We discuss.) The ladies also go over the recent pieces in the Wall Street Journal and on Bloomberg about the Sussexes' Spotify and Netflix deals, Fergie's breast cancer news, Princess Diana's sheep sweater resurgence, the "dashing equerry" currently employed by King Charles and so much more.

The Paradox of Publicity May 25, 2023

Show notes

On this week’s episode, your cohosts flashback to Pippa Middleton’s wedding in May 2017 (and the, er, unique coverage of “Pippa Mania”). There’s also the Waleses’ nonstop social media blitz, reflections on the Sussexes’ NYC car chase, an Earthshot listener flashback and so much more. Don’t forget to pour one out for Party Pieces (or at least, for Carole Middleton, who is no longer at the helm). To celebrate the long weekend, we’re off next week. Happy Memorial Day, everyone! See you in June!

The Duchess’s Golden Debut + Special Guest Kristen Meinzer May 18, 2023

Show notes

This week, there’s no shortage of royal news—even after the big Corrie blitz—as the Sussexes step out in NYC with Doria, Kate and William kick their social media up a notch, Fergie launches a podcast that promises to spill the tea and Harry’s court case continues to make headlines. FYI: We recorded this episode just as news broke about Harry and Meghan’s harrowing car chase after the Ms. Foundation Awards, so we’re still waiting to learn more. We’re also joined by friend of the pod and royal commentator Kristen Meinzer, whose new podcast, The Daily Fail, takes aim at the UK’s most notorious paper. Grab a “When Harry Met Meghan” in honor of their 5th wedding anniversary on Friday, and tune in!

The Corrie Comedown May 11, 2023

Show notes

We can’t believe it’s already over! We’re back stateside, and we still have so much to discuss. First up: Our attendance at the Coronation concert at Windsor Castle (and getting a front row seat to the royals’ dance moves). Also, Prince Harry’s court case begins, Meghan takes a “clarity hike” and Kate rewears a fan favorite. We also tie up loose ends from the Coronation ceremony on Saturday, including (but not limited to): the Corrie grim reaper (?!), lip readers, memes, royal fashion and more. Finally, some thank yous, especially to our listeners who we met in London. What a treat! Grab some “Return of the King” beer and tune in!
