Victoria Arbiter is a royal commentator, author, and broadcaster who brings a wealth of insider knowledge and expert analysis to her coverage of the British Royal Family. With a career spanning both sides of the Atlantic, and now Australia, her insight is rooted in her unique upbringing. As the daughter of Dickie Arbiter, a former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, she spent the latter years of her teens living at Kensington Palace.
A trusted voice for major historic events, Victoria co-anchored CNN’s live coverage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s 2018 wedding alongside Anderson Cooper. She previously co-anchored the 2011 wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales for CBS News with Katie Couric, and reported on the 2012 Diamond Jubilee for ABC News. More recently, she covered the Platinum Jubilee, the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, and the Coronation of King Charles III for Australia’s Channel Seven.
Regularly appearing on international networks including the BBC, ITV, TVNZ, CBC, and Australia’s Nine and Ten, Victoria is a sought-after documentary contributor and print journalist. Her biography, Queen Elizabeth II: An Icon of Modern Monarchy, was published by The History Press in March 2026. Seamlessly bridging hard news and entertainment, her media credits also encompass wide-ranging coverage of high-profile, celebrity-driven red carpet occasions. On screen, she has played reporter roles in the feature film Non-Stop and television dramas Madam Secretary, Person of Interest, and Royal Pains, and she has hosted several US lifestyle and travel series. Showcasing her lighter side, Victoria was famously crowned Oprah Winfrey’s “Worst Cook in America” during the final season of The Oprah Winfrey Show—a humorous badge of honour she wears with pride.
