Is it time to rethink the British monarchy? Why has “Your Party” been such a spectacular flop? Is Starmer the biggest obstacle to a Labour second term?

Is it time our ancient monarchy got a modern makeover? When a prince of the realm can be downgraded to plain Mr Mountbatten Windsor, has something fundamental shifted in the magic and mystique? The accident of birth means that not all members of the royal family will be morally-upstanding and dutiful. So can a time-honoured but expensive and tainted institution be reformed in a way that fits the 21st century, or is it time to shelve the whole thing in favour of a republic and a president? Francesca Jackson of Lancaster University tells Phil and Roger about her research into the public's views of constitutional monarchy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode goes behind the polished words of Buckingham Palace to unpack the public relations machinery that managed the downfall of Prince Andrew.In October 2025, King Charles III formally removed all of Andrew's titles and evicted him from his Windsor residence.On the surface, it looked like accountability.But beneath the royal phrasing lay a carefully timed communications plan.We'll walk through the anatomy of that plan: how one resurfaced email reignited the scandal, how two precisely timed statements reframed it, and how the Palace's language turned a personal disgrace into an institutional act of duty.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

PREVIEW. The Monarchy's Trouble with Spares. Gregory Copley discusses the monarchy's inherent troubles with "spares," specifically second sons like Prince Andrew and Prince Harry. Historically, this issue was sometimes settled violently, referencing the Roman Empire. Today, these spares, lacking training beyond a backup role, can become petulant, losing their ability to discern duty, unlike those further down the chain, such as Princess Anne. JAMES I

Dr. R. Carlton Wynne speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Wynne explores how the vast portion of the Old Testament covering the monarchy and prophetic periods (approximately 417 chapters) points to Jesus Christ. Dr. Wynne first establishes the central, Christ-centered scope of all Scripture, affirming that everything in the Old Testament looks forward to and finds its fulfillment in Christ's person and work, including his death and resurrection. The address then moves beyond viewing Christ merely as being prefigured in the Old Testament through "scale models" or "macro typology." Instead, it seeks a deeper sense in which the pre-incarnate Christ's power and heavenly kingdom principles were actively revealed through the history of Israel's kings and prophets, positioning these figures and institutions as intrusions of heavenly glory mediated by Christ himself.

Princess Margaret, Prince Andrew, and Prince Harry were all born Spares to the Heirs, however, unlike the Spares before him, Prince Harry did not allow the Monarchy to define and choose his purpose in life. Prince Harry always knew that he was destined to be greater than a Spare, and the Monarchy did too. Support the show"You need to know that you're enough" Meghan, Duchess of Sussexhttps://twitter.com/meghan_worldhttps://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1592779000https://paypal.me/duchessofadvocacyhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/duchessmeghan

Maggie's Hammer author Geoffrey Gilson—ex-Thatcher speechwriter—dissects Prince Andrew's Epstein entanglements, Sarah Ferguson's "supreme friend" emails, and charity purges as blackmail levers in elite power trades. As King Charles's health fades amid Islam conversion whispers and Windsor Iftar feasts, Gilson exposes royal succession as a scripted pivot for transnational networks—from Alaska summits to Ukraine's proxy wars. This isn't tabloid tittle-tattle; it's the raw wiring of global influence, where scandal shields deeper scripts steering nations. GUEST: Geoffrey Gilson, former speechwriter for Margaret Thatcher and author of Maggie's Hammer, has spent decades mapping covert elite networks—tracing money, intelligence, and personal ties binding royals, financiers, and governments. His work exposes monarchies as conduits for transnational power plays.

King Charles has officially stripped his brother of his birthright title and kicked him out of the Royal Lodge. We look at how the posthumously released memoir by his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, forced the Palace's hand and what this almost-unprecedented move signals for the future of the Royal Family. And in headlines today, Former prince, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is due to be stripped of his last remaining military position as part of King Charles' decision to remove his brother from public life; Property prices have recorded the sharpest growth in more than two years, the government's first home buyers scheme reportedly igniting demand for entry-level homes; Police in the UK say a knife attack on a train which put 11 people in hospital was not a terrorist incident, adding that two men, both UK citizens, had been arrested; Russia has joined the United States in publicly backing away from the idea of face-to-face talks between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to discuss the war in Ukraine THE END BITS Support independent women's media Check out The Quicky Instagram here GET IN TOUCHShare your story, feedback, or dilemma!

"Zacchaeus was a wee little man...." Do you remember that children's song from church in days gone by? If not, you do probably know the story of Zacchaeus. But did you stop to think that, in some ways, he was at least trying to behave something like a king? As we lead up to Christ the King Sunday, we're taking a look at the gospel readings and discovering more about our Sovereign. Zacchaeus had a lot of power in his little town. But then the ultimate King came along and changed everything. What happens when the ultimate, real Sovereign shows up in your life? We can learn something from this little tax collector in the long ago. Along the way, we also talked about the British Monarchy, some of the troubling things that are happening there, and drew some parallels in our own lives. Join us!

Prince Andrew has finally been stripped of every last royal title and honor he once clung to like a lifeline. King Charles III, evidently tired of cleaning up his brother's messes, used his royal prerogative to remove Andrew's styles, ranks, and knighthoods—everything from “His Royal Highness” to the Duke of York and beyond. The disgraced royal, now simply Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has also been ordered to vacate the lavish Royal Lodge, marking a total fall from grace for the man who once strutted around as the Queen's favorite son. The move is being described as unprecedented, but in truth, it's been a long time coming. After years of scandal, arrogance, and shameless denial over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the crown finally decided that Andrew's dead weight was too heavy to carry any longer.For Prince Andrew, this wasn't just a fall from grace—it was a full-scale implosion of everything he thought made him untouchable. Even stripped of his titles, he's still clinging to denial like it's his last shred of nobility, pretending the world just “doesn't understand.” The man who once swaggered around royal circles with smug entitlement now stands exposed as the cautionary tale of what happens when arrogance meets consequence. His downfall isn't tragic—it's poetic justice. He built his own downfall one disastrous decision at a time, from his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein to his laughable denials and public meltdowns. The final insult isn't that he lost his titles—it's that the titles ever disguised what he really was: a spoiled, self-serving opportunist who mistook birthright for character.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'Boorish and entitled' Andrew is now an 'ordinary member of the public': King stripped his brother of his prince title and ordered him to leave Royal Lodge after being 'consistently embarrassed' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Although, actually, he does live in a 30-bedroom mansion in Windsor and enjoyed a million quid a year from his mum.In this week's cover story Will Lloyd makes the case for abolishing the monarchy, and that the Windsors have always been more involved with British politics than we know.

Britain serves up a triple shot of absurdity.First, the beloved Mr Men and Little Miss characters join forces with the estate of Agatha Christie to launch a new children's mystery series — turning Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple into cartoon detectives. Is it clever cultural cross-pollination, or simply literary heresy in pastel colours? Then, King Charles III travels to the Vatican to meet Pope Leo XIV, marking the first public prayer between an English monarch and a pontiff in half a millennium. Is it genuine reconciliation or royal diplomacy with incense? Finally, a London woman is fined £150 for pouring her coffee down a street drain — proving once again that Britain can turn caffeine into a crime scene faster than you can say “flat white.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.Supporters get updates on new projects and hot takes on the latest news plus Mark and Pete Extra  in depth commentary episodes and Mark and Pete vs AI  comedy episodes.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 036: Prince Filip of Serbia on Bitcoin Nation States, Hyperbitcoinization, TradFi Escape, Monarchy Revival & Serbia's 313M% Hyperinflation LessonsWhat happens when a prince trades asset management for Bitcoin nation-state adoption? In this conversation, Prince Filip of Serbia—heir to the throne and CSO at Jan3 (Samson Mow's Bitcoin-only firm)—walks us through pitching BTC reserves to emperors, presidents and central banks. From Top Down Japan's politicians and emperor to bottom up hyperbitcoinization via Aqua Wallet. Drawing from his TradFi days in quantitative equities, he exposes factor investing's FOMO trap—where sentiment and momentum crush fundamentals in a money-printing world. Bitcoin clarified monarchy for him: low-time preference rulers beat democracy's corruption cycles (shoutout Polybius). We unpack Serbia's 313,000,000% monthly hyperinflation that wiped life savings in days, Yugoslavia's fiat-fueled collapse, and revival whispers in Serbia, Romania and France.

Marcus Loane said no.  The King said yes. For the first time in more than 800 years, an English monarch has prayed publicly with the Pope.King Charles III — the Supreme Governor of the Church of England — joined Pope Leo XIV in the Sistine Chapel in a highly choreographed moment of unity. But for many Protestants, this was not a moment to celebrate, but to grieve,The Reformation was born out of deep conviction that Rome had departed from the apostolic gospel — that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Those convictions have not changed. And yet, the sight of a Protestant king kneeling in prayer beside the Pope suggests that they believe these dividing lines no longer matter, that the Reformation is no longer relevant.Half a century ago, in 1970, when Pope Paul VI visited Australia, Sydney Anglican Archbishop Sir Marcus Loane — refused to pray with the Pope, saying shared prayer implied shared faith, and that the great truths of the Reformation still mattered: salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.Loane's grandson, Dr Stephen Tong, joins Rachel Ciano, Lecturer in Church History at Sydney Missionary and Bible College, and Dominic Steele on The Pastor's Heart to discuss what's happened in Rome this week - as the leaders of the Roman Catholic and Church of England Churches downplay the Reformation's significance.

This week, after Prince Andrew was forced to give up his Duke of York title, full details of the life of Prince Andrew's accuser were revealed. Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir ‘Nobody's Girl' is a harrowing read. Its publication came in the same week the King made an historic State Visit to the Vatican, with the King and the Pope praying together for the first time in five centuries. As history was made in Rome, there were more revelations about Andrew and the "peppercorn" rent he pays for Royal Lodge, his Windsor home. Calls by politicians and the public for more action to be taken have grown louder and led to debate about the British constitution and the monarchy.Guests: •Kaya Burgess, Religious Affairs Correspondent, The Times.•George Greenwood, Investigations Reporter, The Times.

Prince Andrew's downfall is one of the most humiliating collapses in modern royal history. Once celebrated as the Queen's proud, battle-tested son, he's now the monarchy's biggest embarrassment—stripped of his titles, frozen out of public life, and quietly told to stop using “Duke of York” in any official capacity. His friendship with Jeffrey Epstein destroyed his reputation, and that infamous BBC interview finished the job. The “I don't sweat” defense, the “Pizza Express in Woking” excuse, and the tone-deaf denial turned him into a global punchline. Now, even within his own family, he's a ghost—technically still a prince, but one without purpose, honor, or credibility. The palace's silence speaks louder than any statement: Andrew is done.Historically, plenty of dukes have fallen from grace—some lost their heads, some lost their thrones—but none have been publicly humiliated like Andrew. His disgrace didn't come from war or treason but from arrogance and entitlement in the age of social media, where every lie is immortal and every excuse becomes a meme. The monarchy has erased him one step at a time, preserving the crown while letting him fade into oblivion. He's not the Duke of York anymore—he's the Duke of Nowhere, condemned to live out his days as a cautionary tale about power, privilege, and the price of believing you're untouchable.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

**Discussion beings at 5:10**In the fall of 1888, London was a booming metropolis under economic strain due to the massive influx up immigrants and refugees.  Whitechapel, an area in the East End, was an overcrowded neighborhood with poor employment and dire economic conditions.  As a result, many women were forced into casual prostitution to survive - and it was many of these women who fell victim to an unknown serial killer lurking in the dark, shadowed alleyways.  The killer was named "Jack the Ripper", either a self proclaimed nickname or one coined by the press, but beyond that alias the killer's identity remains a secret even 130 years later.  For more than a century, whispers have persisted that the Ripper murders were not the work of a lone madman, but part of a deeper conspiracy.  Theories have pointed to royal cover-ups, Masonic plots, and a police force accused of burying the truth.  This week, as we approach the end of True Crimeber - we are discussing one last British mystery - the story of Jack the Ripper and the conspiracy theories related to his…or her… potential identity.  Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Next, the BBC's Celebrity Traitors delivers a moment of comic relief when beloved actress Celia Imrie CBE breaks wind during filming and instantly confesses, reminding Britain that honesty and humour still beat pretence and pomposity. Finally, the lads dive into the world of artificial intelligence, as U.S. regulators probe tech giants over chatbots chatting with children, just as OpenAI announces adult-only erotica modes for verified users.

They analyze how JD Vance publicly defended the individuals involved by dismissing their comments as “edgy jokes,” exposing a growing tolerance for extremism within parts of the GOP. The discussion expands to examine the double standard in political outrage — why some are harshly punished for crossing lines while others face little consequence — and how in-group loyalty continues to erode moral accountability in American politics. The conversation then moves into deeper territory, exploring the psychological and ideological forces driving this shift. The hosts dissect the narratives of victimhood and persecution that fuel right-wing identity politics, as well as the appeal of hierarchy and order for certain business and political leaders who see democracy as messy or unstable. They highlight the challenge of mobilizing citizens around democracy itself, arguing that the fight for freedom requires a new, inspiring story that unites people rather than divides them. The episode concludes with a preview of the upcoming “No Kings” rallies — events centered on defending democracy through collective action — and a call for listeners to stay engaged in the struggle for a just and inclusive society.

In this unique epsiode Duffey recounts the story of a small band of radicals in seventeenth-century England. This group is known today as the Fifth Monarchy Men. The Fifth Monarchy Men were Puritans (made up of both Independents and Baptists) who promoted a particular eschatological view of the 'fifth kingdom' of Daniel 2:44 and Daniel 7:26-27. This story recounts some of the Fifth Monarchy Men who became radicalized through the hearing of sermons and the reading of published material, and who saw the imminent need to overthrow the existing government in England through a violent force of arms in order to usher in the millennial kingdom of Christ on earth.

Prince Andrew has become a perpetual liability for the British monarchy, with his scandals continuing to overshadow the institution's attempts at modernization and public service. His long association with Jeffrey Epstein and subsequent settlement with Virginia Giuffre, while never an admission of guilt, has cemented him in the public mind as a man of disgrace who cannot be trusted. Every time his name resurfaces, it drags the monarchy back into a mire of sleaze and scandal, reminding the world of his recklessness and arrogance. His inability to account honestly for his relationships and behavior, paired with his disastrous BBC “Newsnight” interview, exposed not only his own lack of judgment but also the monarchy's tone-deafness in handling crises.Even after being stripped of official duties, Andrew remains a thorn in the side of the royal family, his mere presence at events sparking public outrage and critical headlines. His clinging to privilege, combined with his refusal to step aside completely, undermines the monarchy's carefully managed image of dignity and service. Instead of fading into obscurity, his scandals linger as a living reminder of hypocrisy at the heart of the institution—a prince who used his position recklessly and now stains the legacy of the monarchy with every reemergence. His behavior continues to erode the trust and respect the monarchy depends on for survival in the modern era.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
