Episode 40: We’ll Never Be Royals: Racism and Controversies in the Royal Family

Summary

Oh boy, dear listeners.  We really went hard in the paint on this meaty episode (Abby’s trying to make “meatisode” a thing, but Ellie isn’t buying it).  Abby and Ellie discuss it all- from the monarchy’s relationship with Nazis to ‘Megxit’!  Our topics include some royal controversies, scandals, the media’s treatment of the royal family, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton and how the monarchy is…. *checks notes* bad… due to it being founded on imperialism and racist ideologies.  Even Fergie isn’t safe from our eyebrow raising and banter.  So fill your cup and add one lump or two and  join us at this spill-the-tea party on this episode of Queers for Fears!
