  • The Ring

    The Ring
    Jul 20 2025
    It was the sapphire seen around the world. But when Prince William gave Kate Middleton his mother’s engagement ring, it wasn’t just a romantic gesture—it was a message. In this episode, we explore the complicated legacy of Diana’s iconic Ceylon sapphire, from its selection out of a Garrard catalog to its reemergence on Kate’s finger decades later.

    Why did Diana choose it? Why did William pass it on? And what did Harry really think? We unpack the symbolism, the scandals, and the pressures that came with this glittering relic of a turbulent past. For Kate, wearing the ring meant accepting not only William—but the myths, ghosts, and scrutiny that came with Diana’s memory.

  • The Engagement

    The Engagement
    Jul 13 2025
    In November 2010, Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton—and the monarchy’s future shifted forever. But this royal fairytale had its shadows: a university romance tested by separation, the media’s “Waity Katie” taunts, and the ever-present ghost of Princess Diana. In our premiere episode, we trace the couple’s long road to engagement—from St Andrews to a remote cabin in Kenya—and unpack the pressures, symbolism, and modern stakes behind the sapphire ring that once belonged to William’s mother. As the royal institution searched for relevance in the 21st century, could a commoner from Bucklebury carry the Crown forward?
