Guten tag! This week on Royally Screwed, everyone’s got BOY PROBLEMS! Whether an arranged marriage with a fool, an enemy that turns out to be a hottie, or being in a love triangle with your boyfriend and his dad…we’ve all been there. Meanwhile, in British history, Abby shares Margaret Beaufort’s five easy steps to girlboss your way to the top. All you need is to be born a Lancastrian heiress, make yourself a player in the Wars of the Roses, and a 10,000 bell down payment to Tom Nook….wait, sorry, that’s just our Animal Crossing obsession seeping in. All of this plus: THE DE LA POLES ARE CANCELLED.
