Windsors & Losers

Eva & Allie

Britain's royal family generates controversial headlines each and every day, but in our unhumble opinion, the most interesting tales are those buried in the footnotes. Hosts Eva and Allie are excavators of bygone scandals and peculiar details about the Windsors. For example, did you know that King Charles runs a bed and breakfast in Romania? Or that he's been building his own real town for more than 30 years? Windsors & Losers is the podcast that tells you a curiously overlooked story about the British royal family in each episode.

    Princess Margaret's Definition of a Picnic Is, Frankly, Wrong

    This week, Eva and Allie discuss the latest twists and turns in Princess Diana's little brother Charles Spencer's love life. We couldn't help but wonder: could there be *too* much passion over there at Althorp House? Meanwhile, royal insider Anne Glenconner is blessing us with a new book filled with her unique royal insights. Her latest publication is about... picnics. You read that right. But trust us when we say that an essay on picnicking by Princess Margaret is one for the ages. And finally,

    Harry & Meghan Make Us Ask: What Even Is a Royal Tour?

    If the King’s son and daughter-in-law take a gaffe-free visit to a former Commonwealth country, is it a royal tour? Harry and Meghan‘s Australian journey has us putting on our thinking caps, while we take a slightly less deep dive into the upcoming nuptial of Peter Philipps and Harriet Sperling and what it all means. Finally, we can’t contain our enthusiasm at another definite royal tour, that of King Charles and Queen Camilla to the United States. Join us, won’t you?

    If Camilla Did It, Can Harry & Meghan?

    Not so long ago, in a time called the nineties, Camilla Parker Bowles was the most hated person in Britain. Today, she’s Queen, without so much as a “consort” to qualify her status. How did she go from the “other woman” in the Charles and Diana fairytale-turned-nightmare to, as Allie puts it, “a granny with a book club”? In this re-listen of a classic Windsors & Losers episode, Eva and Allie introduce listeners to the magician who turned Camilla royal. And we ask, if Camilla was able to convince

    Will and Kate's Same-Day Engagements

    Despite our best efforts to ostrich in true royal style, we were unable to avoid last week's news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's ongoing scandal. We couldn't help but wonder: what if Charles actually doesn't have what it takes to hold the royal family together through this period of well-deserved scrutiny? We also consider the meaning of William and Kate having engagements on the same exact day (300 miles apart) and Princess Anne taking a turn as the royal brooch-wearer-in-chief.

    Totally Unique First-Person Observations of Will & Kate

    Dear listeners, it finally happened. An intrepid Windsors & Losers host (Eva) was able to observe William and Kate as living and (presumably) breathing mortals. In today's episode, we recap this lofty BAFTAs sighting, recap all the Andrew news we'd previously missed, and muse momentarily on what's up with the Wessex-Edinburghs.

    Harry Vs. William Vs. Dog Bowl

    Full disclaimer: we recorded this episode earlier this week, and much (probably) has happened in the world of the Windsors. Regardless, we recap the timeless prose of Tom Parker Bowles and... beef bourguignon. Also, we reflect on a new biography about Prince William and Princess Catherine which asserts that Prince Harry's claim to have been shoved by William was wildly overblown. Plus: Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, and his road to arrest.

    No Press Is the Only Good Press For Royals Right Now

    Oh, the royals... so much internal strife, and so little action. This week, we check in on the latest maneuvers from Camp Fergie, and wonder how Zara and Mike Tindall have managed to stay so... unproblematic. Prince William suffers an unfortunate comparison, which — through a long, winding road of logic — causes us to wonder about the state of the institution as a whole.
