  • “Hating on the Sussexes”

    April 4, 2025.

    In the latest Episode which I heard today you mentioned “Lots of Royals earn money from their names. They all have bills to pay.”

  • Not sure

    I love listening to podcasts about the royals but it does feel as though the presenters on this one don’t really like each other- the conversation feels really awkward at times. It’s a shame really as could have some really good content.

    Great content, really knowledgable hosts. I echo the review that Chris interrupts too much. Let your co-Host finish her thought please! You lost a star for that ! But i will keep listening, w fingers crossed. UPDATE: Chris, PLEASE STOP INTERRUPTING, i will no longer listen, it is so disrespectful of your (female) co-host
