Fly guy 2022 ,

Enjoyable enough…

I enjoy listening to the podcast and feel that overall the hosts do a decent job of being fair to all sides, however, regarding the coronation, I feel it was very nice of the king to even invite Harry and Megan. The two of them have done nothing but bad mouth the royal family, been caught in numerous lies and simply don’t exhibit the emotional intelligence that individuals in positions of leadership need. I am still waiting to see their “life of service” as all they have done for over 3 years is profit off of using the titles given to them from the family and “institution” they claim is awful. In my opinion the Sussex’s only want to be associated with the royal family to keep up public interest in them. I’m sure King Charles loves his son, but that doesn’t mean he should accept his and his wife’s behavior and try to involve them. I say it’s time to completely cut them loose. Overall I think Charles will be a good king and has made a lot of strides in modernizing the monarchy and brings important issues to light. He had a strong support in the Wales’ and the Edinburgh’s.

Pretty boring.

Yank host has a bit of humor but no chemistry between the two. Bland listening.

Give Harry a break, Katie!

I love VF, and I used to love watching the Royals wearing jewels and fancy dresses. The nastiness of the last few years really took the shine off that nest of vipers!

Erin is the best part of this podcast, bringing a very American objectivity to the complicated story of Prince Harry’s break from the BRF. There were wrongs done on both sides, and her reporting reflects that.

But Katie Nicholl, ever loyal to the royals, is incapable of giving the poor guy a break! We get that your job is to be a shill for the royal family, but they aren’t perfect and blameless, and Meghan Markle and her crappy mess of a family didn’t cause the Windsors’ problems. I thought it was great that he could attend the Coronation. Let sleeping dogs lie!
