-The Inheritance Games meets Bridgerton in the riveting companion novel to The Queen's Spade, where our heroine must play a deadly game and risk everything to get to the truth that’s poisoning Victorian England’s royal court.

Favored by Queen Victoria, Vicky Davies has survived royal courts, financial ruin, and the loss of her mother, Sarah Forbes Bonetta — the famous African princess turned royal goddaughter — but Cheltenham Ladies’ College is about to test her in new and wicked ways.

Every Thursday evening, the senior girls play a secret game and Vicky just became their latest pawn. Truths must be confessed, commands obeyed, and whoever claims the coveted title of winner will have her wish granted, no matter how outrageous and seemingly impossible it may be.

But when the game yields frightening and fatal results, Vicky vows to put an end to this ghoulish tradition that twists minds and makes enemies out of friends. With dangerous foes closing in and truths that could shatter her world clawing to the surface, Vicky must uncover the secrets buried not only in Cheltenham but by her own mother. In a school where survival is a gamble, will she emerge victorious — or fall victim to its deadly game?

I don't know what blessed astrology I stepped into when I got Omid Scobie to agree to guest-host the pod BEFORE we knew about Prince Harry and Meghan's Nottingham engagements, but there is no one better to talk to than someone who was there back in 2017 for the couple's first royal visit as a newly engaged couple

Omid was an Honorary Member of the Royal Rota for years and is the NYT Bestselling author of "Finding Freedom", "Endgame" and a fictional series co-authored with Robin Benway called "Royal Spin" that has it's paperback release early next year.

Omid and I get into today's engagements, the press coverage, what's changed in Royal reporting since he was last in the game and why he decided to put himself back in the narrative (sorry I couldn't resist a Hamilton reference) with his brand-new Substack, Off-Script.

Thanks again to Omid and we'll see you next week (Amanda too!)

Hello (Hahhhloohw), it's still Meredith here with your Royal Briefing, but have no fear, Amanda will be back next week and, if not, I'll have one of those Margaret Thatcher Foundation bros deport her back to the States.

In the meantime there's a ton of Royal news to discuss including:

-Former Prince Andrew's court victory & King Charles footing the bill...for the payments he owes for repairs on the Royal Lodge.

-A college professor accused of an actual crime who isn't getting the Dr. Jason Arday treatment.

-A preview of Prince Harry & Meghan's "non-Royal" engagements on Thursday.

-Will & Kate's engagements, especially Charlotte and Catherine 'spotted' on the Tube (Royals, they're just like us!)

-and a very silly story about courtiers being 'too woke' about this particular sport.
