    What the Royal Heck Are Harry and Meghan Thinking?

    When Harry and Meghan left the UK six years ago, the press labeled it "Megxit." Since then, Prince Harry has publicly aired grievances about his family, fought ongoing security battles, and faced millions in court costs after losing high-profile suits against the British tabloid press. Now, the non-working royals and their two kids are reportedly planning a move back to Britain. Why step right back into the right royal rotor blades of a merciless media circus? What does this means for the future of the British Monarchy 📷 Photo: "Vito Amati/The David Foster Foundation/Getty Images Support & Connect with Boomer Has It YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BoomerHasItPodcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/boomer-has-it/id1877117452 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1qvDxe5vWR8kHwk3LvQznv?si=46b0419ac8f3437c Send us Fan Mail Boomer Has It!  The transatlantic podcast you never knew you needed.

    Hunter Biden Bites Back!

Movie theatre attendance is turning out to be the strongest box office year since before the Lockdown in 2019, and Jim and JB are hot on the case. What’s causing people to go back to the cinema?
