Royal Romance and a King-Sized Collection of Takes (ft. Sarah Wendell)

Amanda is joined by guest host Sarah Wendell, co-founder of the blog Smart Bitches, Trashy Books and host of the podcast Smart Podcast, Trashy Books. In this supersized Friday News Dump, we’ll muse over topics ranging from royal romance tropes to royal health complications perhaps being used as shields against negative coverage.

We’ll also break down comments made by royal in-law Mike Tindall about Prince Harry, comments made by the Princess of Wales about Bob the Builder, and comments made by Prince William about (gasp!) scones.
