Description

Tune in to hear Katelyn and Jenna discuss the recent documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, starring none other than her sons, Princes William and Harry. We laughed, we cried, and Jenna almost flipped her coffee table over.

We begin the episode by reflecting on how our perceptions of Diana have changed over time, from our early memories of her as a beautiful princess, to our current understanding of her as someone whose stunning physical beauty was exceeded by her profound drive to help others.

Later, we turn to the film, discussing our favorite parts, including the Princes’ piercing blue eyes, adorable family photos, and allusions to Harry and Meghan (and their future children?!), as well as the scenes that made us verklempt.

In addition, we talk about how the documentary depicts the Princess’s charity work and her sons’ efforts to carry on her legacy, as well the film’s cast of characters and its approach to the less glamorous aspects of Diana’s life.

In our royal news round-up, we swoon over Harry’s latest philanthropy; admire the very good dogs who came to meet Camilla; follow William, Kate, and Charles’s trip to Belgium for the centenary of the Battle of Passchendale; assess some royal staffing changes; tip our hats to Philip’s spiffy bowler; get indignant over Meghan’s press coverage; and review rumors about the Queen’s supposed love of a tipple (or four!).
