It’s August, which means only one thing in the realm of royal reporting: it’s silly season! Amanda and Meredith dive into the weird, wonderful, downright absurd stories that hit our feeds while the royals take their annual holidays.

Plus, we’re catching up on some big stories to which the press have turned a blind eye - including King Charles’ toxic management style and the Waleses’ Greek yacht vacation.

In this week's episode, we check off one of our bucket list topics: royals and theatre. Before we dive into that we have a burying the lede on the media coverage surrounding the 'secret summit' between Prince Harry and King Charles's aides.

Then, we move on to the main stage with Royal Theatre Past and Present. We breakdown the stunningly bad Diana: The Musical, a controversial new musical about Prince George, Andrew Lloyd Webber's connection to the British Royal Family, and Prince Charles's flirtation with theatre and his love of Shakespeare.

It's a real thrillah, in Manilla, with Camilla if you know what we mean (even if you don't, you'll soon find out).

Step beyond the British Isles and meet some of the world’s *other* royal heirs from! From Spain to Sweden, we’re discussing five future faces of monarchy this week. Plus: a troubling report out of Norway involving the (allegedly) wayward son of a crown princess.

Over on Patreon this week, you’ll find a breakdown of new reporting on royal finances, a candid conversation about As Ever’s summer drops, and some royal fashion chat from the French State Visit to Windsor this week.

Enjoy this Patreon episode from the vault, in which Amanda and Meredith rewatched The Princess Diaries 1 & 2. We had the MOST royally good time breaking down these films of our childhood. We're talking Mia Thermopolis’ glow-up, the charm of Garry Marshall movies (Meredith has SEVERAL recs), Lana getting coned, Genovian politics, and the chaotic nostalgia of 2000s makeover scenes.

This week on Off With Their Headlines, we’re breaking down some intentionally misleading royal coverage and diving into the media’s framing of Prince William’s 43rd birthday. Does the coverage reveal anything new about his evolving image?

More on William's Gemini/Cancer cusp: https://mattaoffact.substack.com/p/prince-williams-gemini-cancer-cusp

Then we switch gears with some media recs to span the entire spectrum of summer vibes - whether you're into historical drama, juicy docs (yes, Meredith is breaking down season 2 of America's Sweethearts), or poolside reading.
