18. Security

April 1, 2026 · 21 min

Show notes

A casual text from Mike Tindall about an Aston Villa match triggers a sobering security briefing about constitutional mathematics: if something happened to William, his brother in California would be regent for a child. Frustrated by the relentless erosion of any normal human experience, William makes a decision that alarms his entire protection team. What follows becomes the monarchy's most unexpected public relations triumph in years.
