ROYALS

I love this podcast and I am saddened it has suddenly stopped. Please come back!!!

Love this quirky podcast. Why does one have to be racist if they don’t care for Meghan Markle?

I used to really enjoy this podcast, sure they sometimes said things I didn’t agree with, but we don’t all need to agree all the time. It’s fine. But in recent months, the overall narrative is incredibly negative about the “impact” Meghan has had on Harry. I really HATE the use of the phrase megxit, it is a term used to place blame solely on the woman who clearly seduced him and pulled the wool over poor Harry who can’t think or feel or make decisions on his own. It is very clear that Harry has become much more protective since he decided to marry Meghan and while they haven’t made all the decisions I would like or think would be best, they are free to make the decisions as they see best. And putting the sole blame on Meghan for this is perpetuating a patriarchal view and putting women in a box where they use their bodies to manipulate the people in their lives. It’s also ironic that in earlier podcasts, Harry wasn’t the heir and, therefore, able to have freedom to build his own life, but now, he is integral to the family and should be ashamed for the decisions he has made. He didn’t abdicate the throne; he simply decided that the press wasn’t going to have control over his life (since it is royal protocol to not stand up for the people you love)- and this is where I think there is bitterness from this podcast.

I listen to a number of podcasts about the royals and find that nobody really is the last/accurate word on them. It is great to hear different views and see how they arrived at their point of view. These ladies are chatty and easy to listen to and I hope they keep on keeping on! Would love to hear more about the Danish royal family or any others as well.
