On this week’s episode, Jenna and Katelyn (belatedly) celebrate the Fourth of July with a look at how the relationship between British royalty and U.S. presidents has evolved since we Yanks said “No, thanks,” to King George III.
Join us as we wander through the hedge-maze of time to investigate how “the Tyrant King George” was a scapegoat, Queen Victoria (possibly) hated Ulysses S. Grant, Edward VII partied in the U.S.A., and George V and George VI appealed to their American allies. We also discuss Queen Elizabeth’s longevity and its impact on the “special relationship,” three of Charles’s most important trips across the pond, the royals fever that has sprung up both times Will and Kate have stopped in the States, and Harry’s scandalous Las Vegas vacation.
At the top of the episode, as usual, we look at recent royals news, including Kate’s latest sartorial choices, the Queen’s home renovations, and an amazing Daily Mail article about Harry and Meghan’s rosé romance.
