Summary

For centuries, royal women have been judged, scrutinised and often misunderstood. In this fascinating conversation, author and journalist Catherine Mayer explores the surprising parallels between Anne Boleyn, Princess Diana, Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and Queen Camilla. From Tudor propaganda to modern social media culture wars, we examine how public narratives are created, why certain women become symbols of larger debates, and what history may have gotten wrong. The discussion covers Diana's final years, Kate's carefully crafted public image, Meghan's experience entering "Planet Windsor," Camilla's remarkable transformation in public opinion, and the enduring power of royal storytelling. Are we repeating the same patterns again and again?
