06.12.26 Friday News Dump

What do royal cheek kisses, Lamborghini tractors, and AI data schemes have in common? They’re all topics on the latest Friday News Dump! We can’t wait for Trooping the Colour this weekend and Royal Ascot next week, but for now, let’s pick up the crumbs of royal coverage to send us into the weekend. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Peppercorns for me and not for thee

Our rrrrroyal conversation this week brings questions of what is owed to “minor” members of the monarchy? From findings out of the National Audit Office’s recent review of royal leases to the legacy of Lady Pamela Hicks, who died last week at age 97, who gets to benefit from their proximity to the crown? Plus, some fashion chat about last weekend’s royal wedding, where Peter Phillips married Harriet Sperling!  ______________________________ New episodes every Wednesday and Friday!  Listen early & ad-free on Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/c/OffWithTheirHeadlines], where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines [https://www.patreon.com/c/OffWithTheirHeadlines]  Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@OffWithTheirHeadlines].

The Kennedys, the Windsors, and Terrible Nicknames (ft. Caroline Hallemann)

Meredith “Millennial” Constant is BACK, and we are catching up with all things royal: their health struggles, their wedding plans, and their nicknames for one another.
