Now that the confetti has settled on the Platinum Jubbly, we’re looking back at all of the major moments from the big weekend. The Sussexes returned from California, and even had a special birthday celebration for Lilibet, while the Cambridge kids were front and centre for many of the royal events, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s first walkabout, and a scene-stealing balcony appearance by Prince Louis. Elsewhere, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles paid a visit to Albert Square, and the royals managed to weaponise the universal appeal of Paddington Bear in a video with the Queen. Plus, we discuss the Queen’s partial absence — and Prince Andrew’s total absence — from the festivities, and what it means for the monarchy going forward. Thanks so much to our fabulous Eastenders correspondent Shy Charles, and thank you to everyone who has listened over the past three years. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Lady Gaga said Hold My Hand, and Tom Cruise appears to be taking notes… The movie star made headlines for helping Kate Middleton up the stairs at the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in London, and also made us wonder why he’s spending so much time around the royals, from red carpet events to private screenings to a jubbly horstravaganza. Elsewhere, the Queen learns how to use an Oyster card, Prince Charles makes his debut in parliament and Prince William gets booed at a football match. Plus, Prince Harry and Meghan are reported to be working on an “at-home” docuseries, and we discuss the “balcony ban” for Trooping the Colour ahead of the big jubbly weekend.

Finally, it’s here! We’ve spent 40 hours working our way through Tina Brown’s epic new book, The Palace Papers, and breaking down all the best insights, funniest details and shocking revelations for this Book Club episode. Plus, a look back at the national embarrassment that was Prince Edward and Sophie’s tour of Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Antigua and Barbuda.Support us on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/heirheadsShop our merch: linktr.ee/heirheads

It’s a York family special this week: We run through Prince Andrew’s arrival with the Queen at Prince Philip’s memorial service, yet another financial scandal (this time involving Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie) and Fergie’s Instagram posts reminding us of her ex-husband’s glory days as a Falklands War hero.

*WARNING: SPOILERS*Hold onto your bonnets — it’s KANTHONY TIME! Bridgerton is back for season two, and we’re talking sizzling chemistry, the striking lack of sex scenes and what the show has to say about gossip, as well as all the major plot changes from Julia Quinn’s The Viscount Who Loved Me. Plus, we discuss Julian Fellowes’s latest period drama The Gilded Age, from its sensational cast (with one notable exception) to its jaw-dropping costumes to its rare insight into the lives of the 19th century Black elite.Beginning to 48.22: Bridgerton48.22 to end: The Gilded AgeSupport us on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/heirheadsShop our merch: linktr.ee/heirheads

Was this the worst royal tour ever? We’re discussing the Cambridges’ trip to the Caribbean, and why it offers the clearest evidence yet that this generation of royals aren’t capable of modernising the monarchy or sustaining it in the decades to come. From Prince William’s almost hilariously underwhelming speeches to Kate Middleton’s incongruous throwback wardrobe lacking in local designers — not to mention some of the worst photo opps in PR history — we look back on the ultimate royal disastour.Support us on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/heirheads

From floral arrangements to impassioned speeches, the royals are showing their colours over the Ukraine crisis. We look back on each household’s response to the invasion, and the firestorm over Prince William’s misreported comments on war in Europe. Plus, Prince Charles agrees to loan Prince Andrew the money to settle his case with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, while Camilla meets Camilla as Emerald Fennell gets an invitation to Clarence House and a shoutout from her real-life counterpart.Shop our merch: heirheads.co.ukSupport us on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/heirheads

Note: we recorded this episode before the Queen’s Covid diagnosis, so weren’t able to discuss here. Instead, we’re focusing on the rough start to her Platinum Jubbly year, kicking off with Prince Andrew. As he reaches a settlement with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, bringing an end to his civil sex assault case, we run through the big questions. How much is it? Who’s paying? And where is the money coming from? Plus, the Metropolitan Police investigates cash-for-honours claims at Prince Charles’s charity, Prince Harry battles it out with the Home Office in court, and the Queen tries her damndest to protect her big Jubbly party.

A lot of Andrew updates this week! From the arrangements for his teddy bears to developments in Virginia Giuffre’s civil suit, we run through the latest details about the disgraced duke. Elsewhere, Prince William and Prince Charles dodge uncomfortable questions, and we ask: what happened to Archewell Audio?Shop our merch: heirheads.co.ukSupport us on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/heirheads

Finally! It’s the word on everyone’s mind as the Queen strips Prince Andrew of his military titles and patronages following his failed bid to get Virginia Giuffre’s case against him dismissed. The palace is drawing a line, but will it be enough to salvage the monarchy’s reputation? We discuss the developments in Andrew’s case, what he is losing (and holding on to), and the similarities to the treatment of Prince Harry.
