Royal Court, or Brittany Broski's Royal Court, is a medieval-themed American YouTube talk show directed by Stanley Erhart and hosted by Brittany Tomlinson, also known as Brittany Broski.[1] Celebrities appearing on the show and discuss pop culture, their careers, and their personal lives. Each episode's guest is considered "pop culture royalty" and withstand an array of challenges to win a spot on Tomlinson's royal council, which each always wins at the end of each episode.[2]
Structure
The show is hosted by Brittany Tomlinson, also known as Brittany Broski. It has a three-act structure in the form of challenges. In the first challenge, the guest arrives for a feast and sometimes dress up as a medieval figure, and Tomlinson asks the guest funny or awkward questions, sometimes citing uniquely personal information about the guest.[3][4] After the challenge, Tomlinson claps, announces they have passed, and they enter the second challenge, where in recent episodes the guest brings Tomlinson a gift and they discuss it. The third challenge is called the Coat of Arms, where Tomlinson has the guest draw four sections of a coat of arms while she asks more emotional or profound questions. Afterwards, the guest signs the coat of arms and announces they have been inducted into her royal court with a unique title by knighting them. Occasionally, guests promote their upcoming projects at the end of the episode before Tomlinson makes her "guards" drag away the guest.
Production
Tomlinson was inspired to create the show with a desire to combine Game of Thrones and Hot Ones.[1] "I wanted to combine the two with how comfortable Sean Evans makes people feel...with an over the top, whimsical element."[1] She wanted to create a series that lowered celebrities to a level where she "ma[de] them look so ridiculous to where they ha[d] to lean in."[5]
The first episode premiered in July 2023, where Tomlinson interviewed country musician Orville Peck.[6]
In July 2024, after statutory rape allegations against guest Cody Ko came to light, Tomlinson posted a statement about the allegations on her Instagram and subsequently deleted his episode from Royal Court.[7][8]
In 2026, Brittany appeared on a Royal Court-themed episode of The Drew Barrymore Show to talk about the series, particularly her interview with Harry Styles.[9]
