Dive into a jam-packed episode of The Royalist, hosted by Tom Sykes, as he unpacks the latest drama, strategy, and controversy surrounding the British royal family. From Princess Charlotte’s carefully curated birthday portrait—and what it reveals about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s evolving PR playbook—to a deep-dive with NewsNation's Paula Froelich (Substack: Paula Froelich: Uncensored, YouTube: @PaulaFroelich) into the troubling finances and mounting questions surrounding Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, no topic is off-limits. Tom also delivers a fiery “Royal Roast,” taking aim at Prince William over transparency concerns tied to his reported multimillion-dollar tax payments. Then, joined by Daily Mail showbiz reporter Alison Boshoff, the episode explores Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s struggles in Hollywood, from failed brand deals to growing tensions with major industry power players. Sharp, revealing, and packed with insider insight, this episode pulls back the curtain on the modern monarchy like never before.
