Now that With Love, Meghan has apparently entered the holiday canon, Tatler asks a dangerous question: across nearly a thousand years of royal Christmases, who was the greatest host of them all?We go back to Christmas Day 1066 and William the Conqueror, then trace the monarchy's festive evolution through medieval excess, bizarre gifts, and court spectacle. Tatler's verdict narrows to two very different champions: James the First, the patron saint of riotous Jacobean revelry, and Queen Victoria, whose family-centred traditions with Prince Albert helped shape the Christmas Britain still recognises today.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

From relaunching Irish Tatler for the digital era to directing content for IMAGE and Cara magazines, she has worked at the intersection of journalism, brand strategy, and creative innovation. Irish Tatler is a long-running Irish women's magazine with a rich history dating back to the late 19th century. It was first published in 1890 under the name The Lady of the House, founded by John T. McDonnell, who was also the publisher of The Irish Independent. Its original mission was to provide practical advice and aspirational content for Irish women, covering fashion, society, household tips, and culture. Today, it continues to be a prominent voice in Irish media, celebrating female achievement and providing insight into fashion, culture, and modern Irish life. This is perhaps best encapsulated by the Irish Tatler's Women of the Year Awards, celebrating its 25th anniversary and proudly sponsored by Davy in 2025 for a second year. The awards have always been about championing the achievements of women, while also being an opportunity to take stock of where we are in terms of equality, opportunity and progress.  w

In this episode, Leslie sits down with writer and editor Daisy Prince to explore the real history behind Outlander. Daisy—whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Vogue, The Telegraph, and Tatler—takes us deep into the fascinating story of Clan Fraser, the real-life Scottish family that inspired the hit series.This conversation spans centuries — from 14th-century Scotland, when Sir Simon Fraser fought alongside William Wallace against the English, to the real events and characters that inspired Outlander. Among them is the infamous 11th Lord Lovat, whose beheading famously gave rise to the phrase “laughing my head off.”Leslie and Daisy also talk about the dashing Brigadier Simon “Shimi” Fraser, a World War II hero who led his men into the D-Day invasion—bagpiper and all. Shimi had a bounty on his head from Hitler, and Winston Churchill once described him as “the most beautiful man who ever cut a throat.”If you're an Outlander fan (or just love a good Scottish saga), you're going to love this one.

In this special episode UNP Founder and Curator Grant Scott speaks with documentary photographer Jim Mortram about long form projects, empathy, collaboration, community and social media. Jim Mortram Jim Mortram is a British social documentary photographer and writer, based in Dereham, Norfolk in the East of England. His ongoing project, Small Town Inertia, records the lives of a number of disadvantaged and marginalised people living near to his home, in order to tell stories he believes are under-reported. His photographs and writing are published on his website, and have been published by Café Royal Books in 2013, and in the book Small Town Inertia published by Bluecoat Press in 2017. Small Town Inertia Two will be publisshed in 2025. Mortram began the Small Town Inertia website in 2006 with the “Market Town” stories. Its name is a reference to the market town of Dereham, where he lives, fifteen miles west of the city of Norwich in Norfolk. Through photography, his writing and the subject's own words, Mortram records the lives of the disadvantaged and marginalised, making repeated visits with a number of people living within three miles of his home. Small Town Inertia tells stories of “isolation, poverty, drug abuse, homelessness, self-harm, mental illness, juvenile crime, and epilepsy”, that Mortram believes are otherwise under-reported. Dave Stelfox wrote in The Guardian that “Mortram's rich, black-and-white images possess a timeless quality that invites easy comparison with the classic documentary work of such British photographers as Chris Steele Perkins, Paul Trevor and Chris Killip.” An exhibition of the work titled Small Town Inertia will be shown at the Side Gallery, Newcastle, England, Saturday 12 January 2019 – Sunday 24 March 2019. https://smalltowninertia.co.uk Dr.Grant Scott After fifteen years art directing photography books and magazines such as Elle and Tatler, Scott began to work zas a photographer for a number of advertising and editorial clients in 2000.

Another special guest show and this month I'm proud to present good friend and Sydney legend DJ Dante Rivera, founder of Klubhouse and countless other Sydney events over the years.  Dante was partly responsible for my exposure to Sydney clubbers.  He was the first person to reach out post Covid to ask if I would play for Klubhouse.  That set has resulted in me playing for multiple promoters around the city.Anyone that knows Dante knows to expect ass shaking Latin House vibes all the way and he didn't dissapoint.The first hour is all Dante so expect to find yourself tapping out percussion on the steering wheel or shuffling across the kitchen to get something out of the fridge.We go b2b for the second hour, which I will admit was a stretch for me.  My Latin House is mainly European from the 00's - you can really hear the difference to Dante's authentic sounds, but that's all I have!  Hopefully it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the back nine.Anyone in the city this weekend, you can catch me a Tatler on Friday for a full takeover.  Yeah baby I got the place to myself from 9pm to 3am.  Whilst I love long sets I will be bringing in another friend Gary Ward to help out.Between us we'll be playing the finest house tunes the last 35 years have produced.Tracklist to follow.........Enjoy!

All right, loves, welcome back to The Brave Table! It's March, the month of new beginnings, rebirth, and, let's be real—shaking things the hell up. Today, I'm asking you a question that might just crack open a part of you that's been waiting to be set free: What's alive for you? And what's burning for you?We are diving deep into the art of release—letting go of the outdated, overworked, hustle-obsessed version of ourselves and stepping into something softer, more intuitive, more… feminine. Yep, we're flipping the script on leadership, success, and how we navigate life's biggest transitions. And loves, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own journey—how saying yes to a TEDx talk with just three weeks' prep rocked my world, how my Ayurvedic healing and biohacking obsession as a mama is expanding, and why I'm finally embracing a slower, more spacious way of being.If you've been feeling stuck, if you're craving a shift but don't know where to start, or if you just need permission to pause—this episode is for you. So, grab your chai (or matcha, I won't judge), settle in, and let's get into it.What you'll get out of this episode… Self-check-ins are essential for growth and transformation.True leadership comes from trust, intuition, and softness—not doing more.Feeling stuck means growth is coming.Releasing the old is necessary for stepping into a new version of yourself.Learning to ask for help isn't weakness—it's an act of bravery and self-awareness.To receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to support@globalgrit.co

Alright, Brave Table fam — buckle up, because today we are cutting through the wellness noise and getting straight to the juicy truth about your health. I'm sitting down with my girl Dr. Chiti Parikh, and this is the episode your doctor probably doesn't want you to hear. We're talking why your green smoothie obsession might actually be bloating you, how your stress, your schedule, and even your thoughts are literally toxifying your body, and why you NEED to detox (but not in the bougie spa way — think ancient science meets modern life).Dr. Chiti's got degrees for days — MD, functional medicine, Ayurveda, acupuncture — but what I love most? She's not about that elitist wellness vibe. Her clinic at Cornell is insurance-based (yes, you read that right — real integrative care that regular people can actually afford). She's here to shake up the system and show us how to brave our health — with intention. If you're tired, inflamed, bloated, or just straight-up confused by all the health noise, this one's for you.What you'll get out of this episode… Meal timing, or chrono-nutrition, could matter more to your health than what you eat.Detoxing isn't a luxury — it's giving your body space to heal.Everyday toxins — from shampoo to containers — quietly harm your health.Women need unique fasting rules — hormones change everything.Own your health — ask better questions and treat the root.To receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to support@globalgrit.co
