This podcast isn’t trying to make a meal out of an appetizer and I am here for it. Some royal-watching podcasts who shall remain un-named have about two minutes of actual news but take 30 minutes to report. It’s boring! I love this presenter’s style-nice demeanor, soft voice and charming accent, and also that I have an episode every day! Thanks!

The presenter clearly has a sharp tongue-but I have yet to hear any episode which isn’t based in truth. Thanks for cutting through the fluff.

Informative, timely and interesting. Royal news updates are timely and interesting. Love this podcast and highly recommend it. Just gets better and better 😀

I am American and thoroughly embarrassed by Markel. Her hypocrisy -and that of Harry - is sickening. Angry at the Firm? Don’t want to be a “working royal”? Then have some integrity, give up all the titles, website, etc and BE your own people. Glad that the Host is sharp and on point about all of the Royal issues.

My favorite personal news clipping service for the BRF and other Royal families of Europe. You get all all the gossip and just a little of the snark. Good times indeed.

Love this daily podcast to stay up to date on my Royal gossip! It’s great entertainment during my workday commute. Keep up the good work.

I like the short format, choices of royal topics, and Mark Francis is serving up “Good Times”!

Deeply respectful of the late queen and other working royals doing good things, but not afraid to bring the snark when calling out the less stellar behavior of the British Aristocracy, makes this my favorite podcast about British Royalty. Another key advantage is that the show combs through British press reports and reads the best snippets during the show. Short, to the point, and free of the endless fawning that characterizes most of the podcasts about the royal family. The dignified, respectful coverage of the queen’s death, with multiple daily updates was both appropriate and informative. 5 stars.

Love this podcast. Bite-size, amusing, and informative. The host is fun and doesn’t take himself too seriously. Most of all, his take on Meghan and Harry is realistic and sensible. Highly recommend!

Short and sweet. Thanks for keeping us informed!!

This is my daily go to for the most important news related to the royal family. I love the short and concise way they do stories, and how they include almost all the Royals. And on April 5 he hit the nail on the head with the commentary related to truth. My motto is if I say something that makes me feel better and everyone else feels worse. Maybe I need to think about it a little more. Harry will regret his truth.

Dive into this masterful Royal reporting and come away with an insider’s view to the (generally) outside perspective. Love love love the sly humor that undergirds this serious and informative bite-sized commentary. More, please!!

I look forward to this podcast every day. It is fun and the host is very amusing. I love that it is short and to the point - no filler, just the “facts”

This podcast is a fun way to get my daily dose of what the royal family is up to! Informative, witty, and a bit tongue in cheek!

It’s interesting to listen to.

I love this podcast and look forward to my daily updates. I only wish they were a bit longer in length. Mark Francis is a gem!!!

I love this podcast and how it keeps one updated on all things royal. Thank you Mark for the updates.

A great, quick listen for Royal updates. Love the added weekend podcasts!

This is my daily go to for Paul the most important news related to the royal family. I love the short and concise way they do stories, and how they include almost all the Royals.

With saturation of the market with tawdry stories about the unbalanced spare & mate, I find myself drawn to this succinct, honest summary of what’s being told by more verbose, attention-seeking sources! Thanks for honesty and brevity.

I’m an American Millennial around the same age of Harry and William… I’ve always had an interest in their lives and well-being for as long as I can remember. I viewed them as my peers for many years, until they both got married and I realized the culture of their lives are nothing like mine. However, they’ve suffered the unfortunate human experience of tremendous loss, which does not discriminate, and I’d venture to assume they likely have never been given the permission to grieve in a way that is therapeutic for either of them… That being said, the reason I tune in for The Palace Intrigue every day is because it is a verbatim report of the Royal news… I don’t have the time to read all the articles like I used to, so I love a small briefing of the palace headlines every day, particularly now since we’re witnessing it all come to a head. Mark Francis relays all sides of palace updates without putting his opinion or “two cents” in, which lets me form my own opinion on the subject… which I always prefer. And tbh I love when he uses the “growl” voice when he is quoting someone… and how it gets even “growlier” when quoting Piers Morgan hahahaha!! Ultimately, I sincerely wish the best for this whole family… yes, some of them may be called “Prince” or “King”, but it’s obvious that they’re all hurting.. and without Queen Elizabeth and Diana, it seems as though they’re all feeling a little bit lost. I’m sending my love to them, truly.. And I’m happy that there have been far fewer ads these past few days… I got tired of fast-forwarding about the hotel casino…

Informative, timely and interesting. The coverage of The Queen’s death has been very respectful and informative. Love this podcast and highly recommend it.

I am so interested in the RF. I absolutely love this host, and hearing updates in this quick podcast. I’ve listened daily for a long time now, and really like it. It’s to the point, and not filled with fluff or commentary and dissection. I don’t need someone to explain it to me. Just tell me what’s up, and quickly. If I want “more”, I can go online and do my own research. It’s perfect!

The haters are Sugars who live to defend meghan at all costs. The host does absolutely nothing disrespectful or wrong as far as she’s concerned. (Sugars are insane.) Love the show but it’s all of 5 minutes - there are more ads than show. Come on guys!

This is a wonderful show. I appreciate that Mr. Francis gives us the most up to date information in real time!
