It's been a HUGE few days! Archie and Lilibet are now able to be styled as a Prince and Princess of the UK. Prince Edward is now FINALLY the Duke of Edinburgh. But what does this all mean and why did this happen now? Today we talk through it and try to make more sense of it.

The concept of the Heir and Spare dates back thousands of years and is one of the main pillars when discussing the titled peerage and really ANY Royal Family. "Who will inherit?!" is the question they always come back to. Since the release Spare, Prince Harry was very transparent about this disparity STILL being alive and well within The House of Windsor. A drastically different treatment between the Heir and Spare, and today we talk about why this is the source of a lot of their problems. The line of succession doesn't just exist on a piece of paper!

Prince Harry has been very vulnerable and open in the public, especially now with his new book Spare. Today, we break down my thoughts and how I don't think things are going fully as he planned. Being this vulnerable is something The House of Windsor does NOT do in public, and apparently not in private either. In some ways, Harry is trying to strong arm the family into listening to him by being SO open, and wanting to share more. Will this open the doors for reconciliation? Or will things only get worse from here? Stay through the end to find out!

Alright everyone. . . We have watched, thought about, and taken notes on the FULL new season of The Crown. Season 5 was highly anticipated, everyone was on pins-and-needles, even Buckingham Palace was nervous. . . and they delivered this? The general feeling is that Season 5 lacked a certain depth and edge that previous seasons brought to it. This new season did not fully live up to The Crown's usual standard, and today we discuss why and react to this kinda let down of a season. . .

This interview was very intense and brought forth a lot of truths that needed to be shared. The main take away were the reason for their decision to step down as senior members of The Firm and their experiences. From raceism and sexism from the media, mental health, their journey to where they are now and EVERYTHING in between, we break down the interview and what was shared. While being objective, some personal opinions are shared as well. Tune in as we share this bombshell of an interview!
HM King Charles III's Coronation is somewhat of a hot button topic. The coronation is a serious event, deeply rooted in over 1,000 years of history and pageantry. There hasn't been a British Coronation in over 70 years! While many are looking forward to it, things are changing and that has people feeling. . . things. What's changing? Why are things changing? What will it look like now? This week, we try to make sense of all the fury surrounding King Charles's Coronation.

To kick off October and to usher in Spooky Season 2022, we have a very special guest on the show. . . The Wayward Dragons! Our resident experts on all things spooky and supernatural, Kelsey and Johnny join in with me on larger discussions on royal curses, mourning, and so much more. It was a lot of fun talking with them and getting their opinions, especially from them being outside the royal circle. Check out their podcast as I was a special guest on their show, too!

There has been a lot going on this past week. The Danish Royal Family is making significant changes. Archie and Lilibet's titles are being debated. Monarchies across Europe are changing. What does a "slimmed down monarchy" look like? This week, we try to make sense of all of it and discuss the concrete facts we do know. The House of Windsor is in the middle of a massive change.

The week of Queen Elizabeth's funeral was a wild one from the vantage point here in America. Social media was divided, the royal rift got worse, and there were too many emotional moments to count. Let's face it. . . it was a lot to handle. Even overwhelming at times. This week, we break down this historic week and reflect back on the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II.

HM Queen Elizabeth II has passed away and there are set operations and protocols in place to make sure the crown passes smoothly and she is honored properly. There's a lot changing, both in The Family and with the plans for the funeral. Today, we try to break it down and get the baseline of what is coming in the next few days and what this all means.
DISCLAIMER: This was filmed Thursday, September 8th, before some of the schedules were released to the public and before HM King Charles III made his speech publicly bestowing Prince William and Catherine as Prince and Princess of Wales. The proposed timeline at the end of the video is now off by one day
HM Queen Elizabeth II has passed away at Balmoral Castle, a place she loved and surrounded by those she loved. A record breaking queen, a humble queen, and a source of inspiration to us all. There will be no one else like her.
Thank you, Ma'am. Rest in Peace.
The Duchess of Sussex gave another huge interview this week with The Cut magazine. Aside from sharing what this new chapter in her and Prince Harry's life looks like, more SERIOUS accusations were made against The Royal Family. This then leads to our large discussion about The Queen (2006). The Queen follows The Royal Family during one of their more precarious weeks: the week of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales and her funeral. The Queen discusses some themes and highlights that maybe they truly haven't learned from the past. . .

The King's Speech (2010) is a wonderful tribute to King George VI and tells the classic story of the underdog. While they get a fair amount correct, they are not fault free here. Certain things get left out completely, and some portrayals are not fair. While this is the 2011 Oscar-Winning Film, this week we put The King's Speech under the microscope and we left nothing off the table!
It is know that the show is fictitious and they change things but. . . Season 4 of The Crown may have accidentally gotten too close to the truth? While this season is one of the best put out thus far, it really made people angry. . . like The Firm itself! Princess Diana takes center stage this season and Peter Morgan does not hold back at all. They may alter the time line, but they get A LOT right. . . even some things The Firm would rather forget. We cover everything this week as we break down Season 4 of The Crown!
