    I first found this podcast because of the abdication series, which I found incredibly interesting and then listened to the rest of the available episodes. If you enjoy learning about the Royals I would recommend this podcast as it come at the topic from an interesting perspective. Also, Streeter’s book on Prince Arthur was excellent.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Royal roundup: Sept 2025 - one Donald, two Dukes, three Duchesses and 5000 years of female monarchy
Q: What are the key themes in Women Who Ruled the World?
The book explores themes of patriarchy impacting female rulers across history, their combat against dynastic turmoil, and the historical inadequacy of terminology for women in power.
Royal roundup: Sept 2025 - one Donald, two Dukes, three Duchesses and 5000 years of female monarchy
Q: What can you tell us about the recent royal events in September?
There were notable events including the Duke of Edinburgh celebrating the railways' anniversary, public engagements of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the sad passing of the Duchess of Kent.
Q&A: the Abdication crisis
Q: What are your thoughts on whether the events of 1936 should be called a crisis or relief?
It should arguably be both, as it is a relief to have had a monarch who was not aligned with fascist sympathies during the upcoming war, but the term 'crisis' also captures the gravity of the situation at the time.
The Alison Weir interview
Q: Is it hard to switch between fiction and non-fiction writing when working on both projects?
No, it isn't hard anymore, though it was initially. I treat them as separate disciplines.
The Alison Weir interview
Q: If you had one hour with one of Henry's queens, who would you choose and what would you ask them?
I would choose Anne Boleyn and ask her personal questions about her decisions and feelings during her marriage.
