Windsors & Losers

On February 18th, 2005, The Guardian published the decidedly glamorous headline “Charles and Camilla Forced to Wed in Local Register Office.” The tabloids, therefore, crowned future queen Camilla Parker Bowles the "Town Hall Bride.” So how did King Charles's second wife come to have her own second wedding in such an understated location when royal nuptials are usually held in more august venues? T...

Just days after King Charles was named to a list of the richest people in Britain, headlines broke that he's splashing out on a new car that costs six figures. This prompted some armchair historians to think back to the spendy ways of his beloved grandmother, and that causes us to rejoice at the opportunity to revisit the Queen Mother's extravagant ways. Now that was living! This week, Eva & Allie...

We have mixed feelings about entering Beckxit into the offical Windsors & Losers record, but alas: here we are. This week, Eva & Allie take a deep dive into what, exactly, is going down between Harry and Meghan and Brooklyn and Nicola and David and Victoria and Charles and Camilla. Still with us?! Plus, Charles and William don long red capes, it turns out the King is really quite rich, and someone...

If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: all royal roads lead to Montecito. And this week proves the rule, as we dissect a front-page New York Times article that calls for King Charles to mend fences with Harry. We take a deep dive on Prince Archie's birthday Instagram and what it tells us about Sussex vacations — and we spend more time than necessary breaking down a highly unusual f...

Prince Harry may have chatted with the BBC this week while his wife Meghan made headlines for using her sort-of-rescinded "HRH" title, but we at Windsors & Losers HQ are focused on the real breaking news: King Charles issuing a royal warrant for his favorite bath oil. In this week's episode, Eva and Allie dive deep on KC's bath time rituals, Prince Edward's blink-and-you'll-miss-it trip to America...

Windsors & Losers is back from Spring Break in time for the latest from royal reporting G.O.A.T. Tina Brown. In her interview with The Daily Telegraph, Tina laments the absence of Harry's sizzle from the family — and complains about things being *too* competently run over at Windsor HQ. But where Tina steps back, we step forward! This episode brings you trenchant analysis on Charles and Camilla’s...

It’s royal-adjacency week over here at Windsors & Losers, with a specific focus on Pippa, Mike, Tom... and Bouijis. That's right — we're feeling nostalgic about the quasi-return of the notorious London watering hole (and particular favorite of young Harry, William and Kate), but we’re also reflecting on how polarizing opinions of Meghan might actually be good for her business.

Meghan goes head-to-head with Harry's cousins, Amelia and Eliza Spencer, in a war of the rosés. Cressida Bonas, launches a podcast — in which she’s annoyingly unlikely to say anything at all about her ex, Prince Harry. Prince William plans a trip abroad to see a soccer match, of course. King Charles, meanwhile, was in the hospital, but is keeping his plans for a state trip to Italy in place. And f...

The royals are back at it. Prince William takes some tank travel and enters a new touchy-feely era with Princess Kate. King Charles opens Highgrove for a woo woo new cause. He also giveth — and taketh — some royal warrants from storied champagne houses. And finally, Queen Camilla is making breaking brooch news! Allie and Eva are on the royal brooch beat.

Windsors & Losers WEEKLY! is joined by Victoria Murphy, author, contributing editor at Town & Country, frequent ABC royal commentator, and the only person in the room who actually knows what Meghan’s last name is. Eva and Allie talk with Victoria about the latest weird and wonderful royal headlines, including King Charles’s new house (next to Camilla's old house), William’s enduring passion (for f...

On the next episode of "Windsors & Losers WEEKLY," we’re joined by Town & Country contributing editor Victoria Murphy. Tune in for her expert take on Meghan’s new show, King Charles’s new houses, and William’s old passion: football (the English kind!).

We attempt to understand the Harry and Meghan last name situation with help from Lord Ivar Mountbatten, another royal cousin who’s launched a global television career. Meanwhile, King Charles collaborates with a different streamer, Kate joins a WhatsApp group, and Princess Anne’s daughter Zara sells shoes.

Half-term is over, and the royals are back to business. Queen Camilla’s brooch stole the show at a recent event. King Charles made a scene of his own by simply signing a letter, while in the background, he's overhauling the royal train according to his eco-friendly specifications. Prince Edward made people laugh. And their cousin, David Albert Charles Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, has a ne...

The royals adopt social media—and show us their Valentine's Day "feelings." King Charles tries his hand at American football while hanging up his skis forever. Princess Anne gets an astounding new title, and her son-in-law Mike Tindall admits to loving a good old-fashioned prank. Tom Parker Bowles dishes on family vacations of yesterday with his mom, Queen Camilla, who's making headlines elsewhere...

King Charles hosted an Italian-themed dinner in the Cotswolds featuring English ingredients — and the Beckhams. Dame Anna Wintour took off her sunglasses to get a new medal from the King. We learned Princess Anne’s special nickname for her brother, and another royal sibling (Pippa!) debuted her side-hustle. Meanwhile, a new book makes a claim that Meghan and William once... had fun together.

Princess Catherine decrees that interest in her clothing should henceforth be minimized. Meanwhile, her fashionable mum marks a milestone birthday. King Charles is running an actual contest and has been gearing up to appear on a big streaming platform project — just like some other royals we know! And speaking of Harry and Meghan, they're planning for a significant appearance north of the border....

Ah... another week, another round of scintillating royal headlines. This week, Kate gets papped — what does it mean? A royal chef spills the beans on King Charles's food preferences as a father, Prince Harry settles a major lawsuit coincidentally during a bad press cycle, and Prince William does — what else? — a spot of football watching. Plus, a grocer vies for a royal warrant and Princess Anne r...

Prince William reveals himself to be an anonymous contributor to online soccer forums! King Charles writes a letter for a time capsule, which lucky people will be able to read... in 100 years. Princess Kate (possibly) continues to check out more schools for Prince George. Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, has a special milestone birthday celebrated in true royal style with a glowing profile in a Londo...

The final act of Paul Burrell's 2002 trial for the theft of Princess Diana's belongings comes to a highly dramatic conclusion. We rejoin Paul at London's Old Bailey court to find out who from the Windsor clan came to his rescue. Join us as we wrap up the improbable tale of the man who went from a childhood in a small English mining town to the soaring heights of Kensington Palace at the side of Pr...

King Charles's former Welsh bolthole gains artistic new tenants, and they're opening the mansion to the public — for a price. Prince Edward gets tapped to attend Jimmy Carter's funeral, which may or may not be payback after the former President pissed off the Queen Mother a couple decades back. William and Kate show unexpected (and unprecedented, for them?) emotion on social media, and we welcome...

When the police showed up at Paul Burrell’s door on the morning of January 18th, 2001, they were looking for information on a valuable object stolen from Princess Diana’s estate and sold at auction in London. Police had reason to believe Paul knew something about this — but what they were not expecting was an attic crammed “wall to wall” with Diana’s belongings. The police found private family pho...

King Charles is getting a commemorative bust described by the artist as “thoughtful.” Princess Michael of Kent didn’t let two broken wrists stop her from attending royal holiday festivities. The Royal Family faces more scrutiny over their finances, and — oh yeah! — Meghan’s trailer is out. We have opinions on it all.

Every time we come to Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed 1997 trip to Paris in 1997, we hope the ending changes. But… it does not. For Diana’s uber-butler Paul Burrell, the loss of Diana was catastrophic on a personal and professional level. In this third episode of Windsors and Losers’s season on Paul Burrell, we pick back up with Paul in the aftermath of Diana’s death as he handles the grim logist...

We arrive in 1987, the year butler Paul Burrell left Queen Elizabeth II’s service to work for Charles and Diana at their country home Highgrove. But before setting off, Paul receives a mysterious warning from the Queen’s lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey, who told him “all is not as it seems” with the Prince and Princess of Wales. What on earth did that mean? Paul soon learned all was not well wit...

Princess Diana’s longtime butler Paul Burrell was there for the big royal moments of the ‘80s and ‘90s, from Diana and Charles’s wedding to the births of William and Harry, the breakdown of the Wales marriage, and Diana’s transformation into a global celebrity. He became known as “Diana's rock" (a moniker he may, actually, have given himself) and claimed to know many of her darkest secrets. He was...
