The countdown to the next episode of Royal Obsessed Podcast is over because Rachel and I are back and bringing you a brand new episode with all the royal updates from the past week.

So I'm Roberta. I'm Rachel and if you haven't already you definitely need to hit follow on Royal Obsessed Podcast on Instagram. Also email us info at gallerypodcast.com. We do have a packed episode this week and a special guest. Rachel, tell us all about it.

Well, as you mentioned Roberta, we will be chatting with Kate Nicholson, Senior Trends reporter for Heffington Post UK. She is joining us to share her up to the minute on the ground reporting of Prince Harry's court case that played out last week with him on the witness stand.

We alter digging into what the whales has been up to, wear Charles and Camilla popped up this weekend, trooping the color rehearsals. It's already that time of year so close to the coronation and a lot more Roberta.

I'm smell it's time for the weekly royal cocktail.

And of course to get through all of that we saved time for a special drink or royal refreshment segment. I am picking something that I had this weekend I don't have it in front of me actually but I wanted to talk about orange crushes which I think I've actually mentioned to you before Rachel have I talked about.

No, I don't know it sounds delicious I immediately thought of the soda. Oh, it's a very well yes that's what I thought of to when I first heard it but it's a very South Jersey drink and it's just vodka and then fresh squeeze orange juice and usually sprite or you can do club soda but there's all different variations there's like mango crush and grapefruit crush and where Dave is from it's a huge deal and like Margate in that area so I had a lot this weekend.

It looks so like summer kickoff the pictures you posted or the Instagram stories looked amazing. I feel like I'm in full summer swing and really counting down the days so we have a little break again for the 4th of July. What about you.

I know the weekend was great. Well, I am sipping water today because it is just a week that is on overdrive. I have to be totally transparent there. I need to just hydrate.

I wanted to mention that I had this crazy experience happened last weekend where I was strolling through my neighborhood in Brooklyn with Matt with Finn and this lovely group of ladies was approaching us they actually looked so stylish.

I thought they had to have been coming from some sort of cool summer suarez we were bound for governor's island was our intention and they have one of the members of the group mentioned that she loves the podcast and I just wanted to show that Cece.

I was so flustered and so kind of guard I like think it was the first moment that anyone has ever like recognizing and I feel like in Brooklyn I just feel so like one of a million so it was very special for me and my husband when it let me live it down the rest of the day.

Rachel, you are so love status I love that you are so complimentary to the show and it just like made me be so much so I just had to mention it here I text her.

Immediately. Oh, that's so lovely and also I think that we should just replace our entire row of refreshments segment this week because we're actually going to have refreshments together we Rachel and I are getting to see each other on Thursday for lunch and so I cannot wait to sit together. Isn't that crazy. It's this week.

What is time Roberta that's all I can say because I know just like I will be there. I am I am I'm very excited. All right anyways moving on.

We got this wonderful note we're going back into our listener archive a bit because we're behind but we heard from Sonia who has been a long time lover of the pod it's always such a treat when we hear from her she penned us a note in May or emailed can I say penned that we're just getting to where this was post coronation she said ladies welcome back I so enjoyed living bicariously through your Corey adventures totally made up for you not going to the Jubilee.

I had the Jubilee gets me every time I was up at 4 a.m. to watch the coronation live and enjoyed all the page entry and symbolism just a quick note since you are still unpacking and dealing with laundry I kind of still am I will add.

Yes, later Christopher Kimbles Milk Street Radio is one of my favorite podcasts for recipe cookbook and cooking ideas listen to Claire Pataks account of making Harry and Megan's wedding cake it's very interesting I think I already read her first cookbook and ever requested her latest one from the last week.

This was such a hot tip right Roberta yes I didn't know that Claire Pataks went on this podcast and actually now I'm a big fan of Christopher Kimble and he's like the co founder of America's test kitchen which I have a ton of their cookbooks so I was really excited to listen it was a great conversation and milk street is associated with the magazine which we subscribe to oh you do I think they're doing a special right now it's like a dollar for 12 issues which is amazing Matt has been a subscriber for years it's such a great recipe well I'm not going to be a little bit more excited about it.

Great recipe spot but yeah the details about the cake are really exciting. Yeah, so he chatted Christopher Kimble chatted with Violet cakes own or Clare Pataks like you mentioned and Sonia alerted us to and even if you just love baking it's a really fun listen here is a little snippet of that conversation.

I think they were really into the whole idea of organic and seasonal ingredients so I think that was one of the reasons why they really wanted to go with our cakes.

I think they probably asked many bakers to come down to Kensington Palace and we will I I was like I can't just go with like a slice of cake for them to taste I have to bring a whole cakes but then I can't bring one flavor after bring six so I brought six whole cakes to Kensington Palace for Megan and Harry to try it was a great recipe.
