    Episode 75: The Heir & The Spare SHOWDOWN

    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!   If this is your first time here, hello!

    Episode 74: Let's Talk About Prince Harry . . . Again

    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!   Don't forget to Subscribe and Share!   If this is your first time here, hello!

    Episode 73: Season 5 of The Crown was . . . Meh?

    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. . .  All photos and videos used in this video are used in fair use and commentary under the copywrite act.

    Episode 16: Prince Harry and Meghan's Interview

    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!

    Episode 72: Let's Talk About The Coronation . . .

    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.    Music: Sovereign by Kevin MacLeod | https://incompetech.com/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  If this is your first time here, hello!
