All your burning questions about this bombshell reporting, answered! How does King Charles III’s health fit into this decision? What about the Sussexes’ security? Is Meghan simply out of opportunities? And how oh how did the Prince of Wales take the news?

    A Tudor Hoax and a Queen's Endgame (ft. Hayley Nolan)

    This week, we’re chatting with Hayley Nolan (@hayleynolanhistorian), the Tudor historian and author of the new book NOTORIOUS: Anne Boleyn and the Great Tudor Hoax. This gripping new analysis tells of how Elizabeth Barton, a poverty-stricken housemaid-turned-nun, ultimately delayed Henry VIII’s marriage to Anne Boleyn for seven years. Wielding unimaginable influence over the biggest names in Tudor history—from the Pope to Catherine of Aragon and even the King himself—Barton spearheaded the smear campaign against Anne Boleyn that would eventually ruin her. But was the young girl simply a victim of these Catholic power players or the dastardly mastermind behind this great Tudor hoax? UK Preorder (out Aug. 27): https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/notorious-9781037201264/ US Preorder (out Dec. 1): https://bookshop.org/p/books/notorious-anne-boleyn-and-the-great-tudor-hoax-hayley-nolan/6d6293d27bc98590 Hayley is a historian, a TEDx Speaker on Anne Boleyn, an Associate of King’s College London, and is currently at the University of Oxford undertaking her second master’s degree. Her biography Anne Boleyn: 500 Years of Lies was the Independent ‘Book of the Month’ and an Amazon History No. 1 bestseller. Then, we’ll dive deeper into the Queen Camilla Future of Journalism Award - a truly impressive patronage for the queen who was once the most reviled news subject in Britain! ______________________________ 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.

    America's Royal Wedding (ft. Meghan Ely)

    School's out for summer - we're taking a vacation! Before we go, we brought in wedding PR specialist Meghan Ely to discuss the "royal wedding" on everyone's minds: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's opulent Madison Square Garden nuptials. What trends might be sparked? Was Taylor just like us (scrolling Pinterest for decor ideas?) How did the publicity rollout speak to the couple's vision for the day? And was this event really on par with genuine royal weddings? OFD Consulting is one of the few PR firms focused exclusively on wedding public relations. They've spent 15 years cultivating relationships with the press on a local, national, and even global level, especially editors at wedding publications. And for 17+ years, Meghan Ely has led the OFD Consulting team as its founder. A long-time industry speaker and writer, she has regularly earned clients’ press in such outlets as the New York Times, Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings, People, Bridal Guide, Travel + Leisure, and Style Me Pretty, among many others. She is a longtime columnist for Cater + Event and recently authored 20 Wedding PR Tips for 2026. ___________ We'll see you in a few weeks, refreshed and ready to take on some post-silly season royal news!
