HeirHeads - Unmasked Menace
play

10/19/20 • 67 min

After seven months holed up in her palaces, the Queen is back out and about. Doing what? No one knows, because all we can talk about is her refusal to wear a face mask! She’s accompanied by Prince William, whose much-hyped documentary debuts to disappointing ratings. But he may have more to worry about from Robert Lacey’s intriguing new book, Battle of Brothers, which chronicles the breakdown of Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship. We discuss the extracts, and later consider what kind of royal work is “relevant” in 2020. Plus, Meghan Markle gets trolled for talking about getting trolled, and Kate Middleton suits up for a night at the museum.
