It's Good to be Queen

7:30pm on 1st June 2001. The royal family of Nepal gather for a regular family dinner party. By the end of the evening, nine family members would be murdered in an event which sent shockwaves through Nepal. This week, to mark the 25th anniversary, @princesscatherinemiddleton and @duchessofostergotlands are exploring the truth behind the Nepalese royal massacre, from the early warning signs to the lingering conspiracy theories.

It's time for another Q&A episode! Join @princesscatherinemiddleton and @duchessofostergotlands as we answer some questions from our brilliant listeners, covering everything from why throne rooms fell out of fashion to whether royals are getting more boring.

This week is all about the British royals. @duchessofostergotlands and @princesscatherinemiddleton are starting off with the royal baby news from Princess Eugenie and breaking out our name guesses, before we dive into the weird and wonderful traditions of the State Opening of Parliament. What happens, why does it happen, and is it fit for the modern world?

@duchessofostergotlands and @princesscatherinemiddleton are catching up on recent news we've missed with three "light bites"! We'll be critiquing the planned statues of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, checking in on the big education news from the young royals, and dissecting King Charles's historic speeches during the US State Visit. 

It's been 15 years since Catherine Middleton married Prince William and in her honour @princesscatherinemiddleton and @duchessofostergotlands are continuing our two parter on her life as a royal. This week we're focusing on more recent years, spanning from the rift with Harry and Meghan to her battle with cancer and everything in between.

As we prepare to celebrate 15 years of the Princess of Wales (formerly Duchess of Cambridge) @princesscatherinemiddleton and @duchessofostergotlands are kicking off a two parter dedicated to all things Kate. We'll be looking back at her earliest years as a royal, picking out highlights and delving into how the public and press viewed her.
