Pull up a pew and we'll tell ya!

Cheating! Let's talk about how it's all basically bullshit. We also cover off listener questions: who is our favourite royal and why? What's our favourite piece of royal memorabilia?

    The households have split! The Queen had a date with Kate! Meg and Henry went on a babymoon, and there is a literal war of the roses as Kate's Chelsea Flower Show submission goes head to head with ... somebody else's. Oh - and the last three minutes are cut off on this episode, we do apologise. We were talking about how much the Queen Mum loved a tipple, but sadly it's been lost to the ether. Just know she did. She really did. We end up on a deep chat about Andrew and Fergie and their "are-they-or-aren't-they" rumours, to which we both say: "duh".

    Did Meghan have a baby shower or something? We wouldn't know, we didn't hear a thing. Between the New York jaunt, Meghan's dodgy dad, and her trip with Harry to Morocco, you'll have to forgive us for finding ourselves with a full half hour of Meghan news this episode. But we do also cover off Bill and Cathy in Northern Ireland (and a very cute story from a gal on the ground), the George/Archie mystery, MIA Charles, Her Maj in florals, and what everyone thinks of Mr Clooney piping up recently with his opinion. Cheers, mate. We also made a very Tarantino-like short film (no blood or John Travolta sadly) about our big city shenanigans attempting to hunt down the couple of the moment on their royal tour of Australia, which you can view on YouTube.
