Episode 14 - The Crown

This week (recorded January 7, 2017), Cate and Liz get #DownWithTheCrown, Netflix's masterpiece The Crown that is! The ladies divert from their regular format for a special report on their latest obsession. They start with getting you up to speed on some British royal history followed by fascinating rules the Royals (and those in their presence) must follow. Then, they give a quick synopsis on season 1 and dive way into the recently released season 2 where they discuss Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip's marriage troubles and how much they love/hate Phillip, the amazingness that is boss bitch Princess Margaret and her doomed loved affairs, Edward VIII's Nazi collaboration and plot to undermine his brother, Prince Phillip's horrible childhood and Nazi family ties as well as Prince Charles' upbringing at the awful Gordonstoun school in Scotland which most likely scarred him for life, how Queen Elizabeth learned about her own public perception from Jackie Kennedy, the Queen's later pregnancies, and so much more! Make sure you listen to the end to hear from our special English guest correspondent, Claire to get her opinions on the monarchy!
