Off With Their Headlines

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 episodes every Wednesday and Friday!

We’re joined this week by guest host Ann Foster, host of the Vulgar History Podcast and author of the new book Rebel of the Regency: The Scandalous Saga of Caroline of Brunswick, Britain's Queen Without a Crown.

Get the book here: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/rebel-of-the-regency-ann-foster
and Listen to Vulgar History wherever you get your podcasts! https://pod.link/1489560920

Ann tells us about the fabulous Caroline of Brunswick, all the modern royal parallels she included (or couldn’t include, for legal reasons) in her book, and why a good scandal is actually an age-old royal tradition.

We also fill her in on the latest revelations related to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the royal family’s public statements about their problem relative, and the public fascination with Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice in the context of their parents’ misdeeds.

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.
