Back to EpisodesDon’t Bring Donuts to Buckingham: What Really Happens Behind the Palace Curtains with Omid Scobie & Robin Benway
Description
In this episode of Up+Adam, broadcaster Adam Montiel sits down with Omid Scobie and Robin Benway, two powerhouse authors who’ve teamed up to deliver Royal Spin, a sharply funny, satirical, and wildly entertaining look at life behind palace walls.
Scobie, known for his fearless royal reporting (Finding Freedom, Endgame), brings over a decade of frontline journalism into his first work of fiction. Benway, a National Book Award winner and beloved voice in YA literature, joins forces with Scobie to tell the story of Lauren Morgan, a young American politico dropped into the chaos of Buckingham Palace PR just as the monarchy is mid-scandal.
Together, they reveal the real-life inspirations behind the fiction, the chemistry of co-writing, and how the press-palace dance is messier and more human than you think. Whether you're a royal watcher, a fiction lover, or just into juicy behind-the-scenes intel, this convo hits.
