Hello, everybody, and welcome to Wednesday's trashy divorces slash trashy royals.

I'm Alicia. I'm Stacy. We're coming back this week. Part two, ladies of Elizabeth's court.

We have some family. We have some cousins. We maybe have some siblings.

I don't know. Y'all told me the continuation of last week's story coming for you today.

We're back next week, finally, with the move done. Sunday with two new trashy divorces. I'm excited

about them. Me too. Me too. Ed, while we craft those, please enjoy this deep dive into the court.

Yeah, into Alicia's brain. Into the court of Elizabeth first. What do we have to do, Stacy?

I guess we go, go, go.

All right, Alicia. We are back. Hi, hi. Hey, welcome back for part two.

Oh, court of bestie the one. What? I know. I'm excited. What? We got some super good trash in this story.

Part two. Are you ready? Hmm. I don't know. Am I ready? I don't know. Two addendums. Back in season three

of the Sunday episodes, season three episode two. I did marry Queen of Scots. This episode is going

to give a little bit more about her, but her intersection. You may find interesting to go back and

listen to you after this. Also, I'm going to shout it out again. The May 27th son of a son of a son

of a son of a son of a son of a son of a trader episode does give a lot of information about Robert

Dudley. If you haven't listened to it, please do listen to it. You don't need to have listened to

that to enjoy this, but it will give this episode fuller context. Okay, now I'm ready. Elizabeth,

remember, it seems that they're in in 1558, just 25 and looking good. She has a shit ton of ladies

at the court throughout her 45 year ring. We're going to talk about some trashy ones today. Okay.

Remember, Elizabeth is 2 a.m. on the European marriage market, right? Every one of her counselors is

trying to get her married off to someone. Exactly. Someone powerful. But who does Elizabeth want?

Ponyboy. Ponyboy. Robert Dudley. He is her eyes, her sweet Robin. Remember, they've been friends
