| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to In the Limelight, Vanity Fair's Entertainment and Pop Culture Podcast. |
| 0:11.0 | I'm Josh Dupoff, Vanity Fair Senior Writer, and I'm here with Julie Miller, Vanity Fair's Senior Hollywood Writer. |
| 0:16.2 | On In The Limelight, we analyze the ins and outs of pop culture, entertainment, and celebrity from the past week, |
| 0:21.9 | from the Kardashians to Kate Middleton, and everything in between. So hopefully most of you, |
| 0:27.6 | or some of you, got to see the big lifetime premiere last night of Harry and Megan's becoming royal, |
| 0:35.2 | the second lifetime movie. We are going to discuss this at length, |
| 0:40.7 | I think, because we have a lot to say. It's obviously the fictionalized sequel. We should stress that. |

| 1:36.0 | bit of camp to the doing. It's a lot of fun. So you kind of never forget that you're watching |
| 1:40.9 | this lifetime version, but I really loves it. And I also, I mean, just, |
| 1:47.3 | it's so brave to me that Lifetime dove straight into all these scandals leading up to the wedding, |
