Show Notes
After the Queen’s death in 2022, Charles inherited not only the crown — but his brother’s scandal. The new king faced an impossible choice: protect the family or protect the throne. With William’s firm backing, Charles moved quietly but decisively to isolate Andrew. Invitations stopped coming. Funding was cut. The doors of Buckingham Palace closed. Behind the scenes, the monarchy was cleansing itself to survive another century.
While no one truly knows what happens behind closed palace doors, this series uses news sources, on-the-record quotes, and some artistic license to craft this entertainment series. Some moments have been dramatized for storytelling effect. AI narration was used in creation of this series.

More from Crown and Controversy - Kate Middleton
Before she was a princess, she was Kate Middleton: daughter of a flight dispatcher and a party supplies entrepreneur, raised in a village in Berkshire with a brief childhood in Jordan and a gap year that changed her direction entirely. The story of who Catherine was before the world started watching.
She was an ordinary girl from a village in Berkshire. He was the future King of the United Kingdom. What happened between those two facts is one of the defining stories of the modern monarchy.Crown and Controversy: Kate Middleton traces the full arc of Catherine, Princess of Wales, from her childhood in Bucklebury through her years at the University of Saint Andrews, the long waiting period the press called the "Waity Katie" era, the wedding watched by hundreds of millions, three children, a fracture with the royal family that played out across every screen in the world, and finally a cancer diagnosis that she faced publicly, in her own words, without flinching.Nine episodes. Twenty years. The girl who chose the hardest life imaginable, and what it made her.
The monarchy that King Charles the Third serves today is very different from the monarchy that lost America in 1776. This episode traces how the lessons of the American Revolution shaped the Crown’s relationship with Canada, Australia, New Zealand and eventually the modern Commonwealth. It is the story of how the monarchy adapted after one of the greatest defeats in its history.
Not every American joined the Revolution. Hundreds of thousands remained loyal to King George the Third. From William Franklin, the son of Benjamin Franklin, to royal governors, merchants and ordinary citizens, this episode examines the Americans who chose the Crown over independence and what their stories reveal about the monarchy’s view of the Revolution.
The Declaration of Independence was approved in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. Weeks later, the news finally crossed the Atlantic. How did King George the Third react? What did London’s newspapers report? And when did the Palace realize the colonies were no longer seeking compromise but independence? Palace Intrigue follows the Declaration’s journey from Philadelphia to the British court.
