Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:30 We'll be off the next two weeks, June 25th and July 2nd. We will have an episode out on July 9th and then will be off on July 16th and 23rd. I've been sick, but thankfully my covid test came back negative. I've been watching Imposters on Netflix. Chandra is happy that Serena Williams is coming to Wimbledon this year.  Royals: Minutes 6:30 to 33:45 Order of the Garter and Royal Ascot: Minutes 6:30 to 14:30 This week we had the ceremony for the Order of the Garter, the third highest knighthood. Duchess Camilla was inducted. At the ceremony Kate wore a blue McQueen coatdress that was apparently new. Prince William got headlines for looking glum but he always looks like that. The Queen was not there but we got a photo of her with Charles and Camilla which The Royal Family posted on their Instagram. She didn't wear the robes because she's too frail now.  We also had Royal Ascot this week. Sophie and Beatrice looked fug in unique ways. Charles and Camilla were also there. The big story was that Carole Middleton wore an ugly pleated pink shirt dress to Royal Ascot that her daughter, Duchess Kate, had worn in Scotland. Chandra remembers when Kate wore one of Carole's dresses ten years ago. Prince Andrew: Minutes 14:30 to 17:45 Prince Andrew is a Knight of the Garter and we heard in late May that both he and the Queen would be at the service. He was listed in the printed Order of Service for the Order of the Garter ceremony and his attendance was announced by the press. At the last minute he was barred from the public-facing events although he was still there behind the scenes. The Sun reported that Charles and William lobbied the Queen to get Andrew removed. Omid Scobie had a column about how Andrew is getting mixed signals from the royal family. Royal charity appearances: Minutes 17:45 to 25:15 Will and Kate attended the Grenfell memorial ceremony. Most of the crowd was in green, “Green for Grenfell,” but Will and Kate didn't wear anything green at all. We wonder if that was deliberate or not. I play a segment from Zoom where we talked about that. We also heard that Meghan left a voicemail for the Hubb Community Kitchen, the organization that she worked with to release the cookbook to benefit the Grenfell community. They posted on Facebook that she left them a sweet message. In return they got hate comments on Facebook. They also shut down their Instagram. There were new photos of Duchess Meghan at an after school program for girls and non-binary youth in Amsterdam called Project Fearless. She visited them in April when she was there for the Invictus Games. The organization held on to the photos until their anniversary. Cambridge move: Minutes 25:15 to 30:15 As we've been talking about for months, the Cambridges are planning a move. They finally settled on a place on the Windsor estate called Adalaide Cottage. This will be their third property as they are keeping Anmer Hall and their apartments in Kensington Palace. The children will going to go to a private coed school in Bucklebury, a 45 minute drive away. We assume Kate and the kids will spend a lot of time with her parents, who live in Bucklebury. The Cambridges are pushing the narrative that this is a modest four bedroom home, that they will have no “live-in” staff and that the place doesn't need renovations. We assume Will and Kate will be living apart. It's curious that the Cambridges were putting out feelers for Frogmore House, Fort Belvedere or Royal Lodge but were given this smaller home. I play a segment from Zoom where we talked about this. Kate's big discussion: Minutes 30:15 to 33:45 Kate did an event where she talked about the Early Years with British politicians. All the photos are of Kate looking businessy. The writeup is so superficial and ridiculous it reads like a parody. The purpose of this meeting was for an awareness campaign. Comments of the Week: Minutes 33:45 to end Chandra's comment of the week is from Beth on the story about the Persuasion adaptation with Dakota Johnson. My comment of the week is from Lucy on the post where James Patterson said old white men were being discriminated against. Thanks for listening bitches!

Prince Charles and the Queen were reunited in the garden of Frogmore House in photos released by the palace at Easter.And on the west coast of California, Prince Harry was pictured playing with his dog on the beach. Pod Save The Queen host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to discuss the stories behind the pictures, and a poll that highlights differing attitudes to whether Charles, William or even Harry should succeed the Queen. They also talk about the latest royal engagements, whether Charles and Camilla’s trip to Greece was worthwhile given the Covid crisis as well as how Piers Morgan and Tom Bradby have been caught up in the breakdown of Harry and William’s relationship and the fallout from the Oprah interview.

Where the heavenly bodies were on October 27th 2020. It is a characteristically accomplished work by Mary Moser, the watercolour made luminous by the gum arabic binder. Each flower is precisely delineated, the entire effect deliberate, beautiful and morbid at once. In the mid 1790s, Queen Charlotte commissioned Moser to decorate a chamber at Frogmore House in Windsor – a major project to which she devoted herself with glorious abandon, fashioning it in the style of an open garden with elaborate floral wall panels and ceiling motifs. It is curious, then, that Moser should be largely forgotten by art history. She was gifted, her work was popular – and she played a crucial role in the story of British art as one of the 34 original founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts (RA). Stefan Wewerka “„So manchen Bau könnte man abreißen, die Materialien sorgfältig sammeln, um daraus wieder etwas Neues zu errichten als Demonstration dafür, daß Architektur, soll sie eine künstlerische Auffassung ausdrücken, nicht nur eine Angelegenheit von Geld, sondern von Phantasie und Vernunft zugleich ist“ TRANSLATION "Many a building could be torn down, the materials carefully collected in order to build something new out of it as a demonstration that architecture, if it is to express an artistic. “ https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.frieze.com/article/two-founding-members-royal-academy-were-women-who-were-they%3famp --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/akacloudette/message

From the forget-me-nots to the unforgettable decor, we’ve got all the details from our visit to Frogmore House and Gardens, home of Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Master Archie. Elsewhere, Meghan picks up a new pram and Prince George picks up his first job as a Waitrose delivery assistant. Lifetime’s Becoming Royal explores unexplained mysteries, such as ‘how does Meghan really feel about those tights?’ and ‘can a royal execute a roundhouse kick?’. Plus, Donald Trump comes for Meghan and Rob Lowe comes for Prince William’s hairline.

John Anderson assumed the role of Keeper of the Gardens in June 2016 and has responsibility for 120 hectares across the Windsor Estate, including The Savill Garden and The Valley Gardens as well as the private garden at Frogmore House. In addition to his work at Windsor Great Park John is also Vice-Chairman of the RHS Plant Comittee and an RHS Judge.  Peter Donegan sits down with John to chat not just how achieved this most unique of titles and roles, but also what it involves, what makes a great park, how the greats (parks and gardens) are worth visiting 12 months of the year, what exactly is The Crown Estate and why they are involved with Royal Ascot and Ascot Spring Garden Show - and as is per usual with The Sodshow and Peter, we go entirely off the point and hopefully come back again.    The Sodshow is available every Friday in iTunes, all good podcast stores and www.sodshow.com  John Anderson studied at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin and previously held the position of Head Gardener at Inverewe (Scotland), Mount Usher (Ireland) and Exbury Gardens before moving to Windsor.   If you have a moment a rate / review in iTunes would be just fantastic.

On this episode, Jenna and Katelyn finally discuss all the details of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s big day! May 19 was sunny and warm in Windsor, and everything looked beautiful: the church, the flowers, the guests, the weird minibuses, and, last but not least, bride Meghan Markle. Here in the USA, in Katelyn’s basement, the sun had not risen, but your hosts were awake, sporting fascinators with their pajamas, and swooning over Prince Harry’s lip biting. It was a magical morning where we learned a lot about the power of love. Also: Bananas are psychic?! Join your hosts as we discuss what Meghan wore: the (surprise!) Givenchy dress, that stunning veil, and Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau, as well as some notable fashion choices made by the family and other guests. We also talk about the service, the ride through Windsor, and the KISS, followed by the reception looks and rumored happenings at Frogmore House.

We were lucky enough to get Prince Charles to talk to us from Frogmore House on the night of the Royal Wedding. He describes to Phil Dobbie how the royal couple are very much in love and how it's a cash bar after 1am. This is the real Prince Charles, but if you are looking for an impersonator you can't go past Guy Ingle from princecharles.co.uk.
