Description

We finally return from hiatus with a special episode to commemorate Sonne’s sisters' birthday (40 looks great on you, Rachel!) Our Rachel is fascinated by the Royal Family, so what better way to jump back into the saddle, than to eat yummy chocolate tombstone cakes and discuss The Monarchy? What happens immediately and automatically upon the death of a Monarch? What’s the difference between a State and Ceremonial funeral? We discuss the modern funerals of Prince Phillip, Princess Diana, Princess Margaret, and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.
