  • I’m curious

    It’s good to see attachment and bond between father and son are their It been quite bizarre listening to the way media interpret such intimate bonds

    So I’m curious why go to Ukraine ? Why not go to Palestine why not speak up about this? I ask I wish you would do something

    No I won’t impose my view on wars but what i want to say is rise up against Israel if you do it for other country then lead this country I beg you

  • It’s interesting to listen with hindsight

    It’s quite interesting to hear the background to Royal stories especially when they have a guest. It’s interesting to listen in 2025 to the podcast from the beginning and hear how gushing everyone was about H&M, even cynical Chris Ship. You can hear the shift in attitude as things start to implode and some of the commentary, knowing what we know now is a bit cringe worthy. I do wish they’d stop talking about them now and focus more on the working Royals. The addition of Charlene White adds nothi... more

  • “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.”

    However, please do remember that the late Queen specifically instructed H&M could NOT earn money from their past Royal connections. We in America mostly dislike them intensely. They are both true hypocrites

  • First impression

    This guy Chris barely lets the other hosts talk. Totally shutting down the comments of the one woman, stepping all over her comments and finally taking over altogether. Oh my! Don’t think I can listen again. This is quite painful.
