We are manifesting a wonderful episode today for Royale Obsessed. Welcome back to the pod. I'm your co-host Roberta and I'm Rachel. And before we get into everything on the slate for today, I just want to say a few housekeeping reminders before we are off.

For two weeks, the end of the summer, email us info at gallerypodcast.com. Also follow the pod on Instagram at Royale Obsessed Podcast. We have a lot to talk about today, Rachel. We're squeezing it all in before our break.

Also, so much of this was not on my Royal Bingo card. No, was it on yours? A rave? No, it was not first. Yeah, first and foremost, a royal rave. We're going to talk about where Kate Middleton popped up this week. Also Megan at Taylor Swift. There's a concert theme.

We're discussing a public opinion poll about Prince William, a fall coat conversation that I can't wait to discuss with you. Details on when we'll see Kate and William next. Also details on when you'll hear us next. Send us love notes while we are away. We'll give you the full scoop on the break. The summer vacation we are taking, not a bell moral, but in many, unfortunately, unfortunately, invite last the mail. Finally, we are joined by the most amazing guest, Lady Violet Manners. She is the executive part of the show.

She is the executive producer behind the Duchess podcast, which features other duchesses, countises, and more talking about their sweeping estates in the UK. It was such a fun conversation. I'm so excited for you guys to hear it.

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

All right, but before we get into all of that, we of course need to toast with our royal refreshment. We're having tea, which is very much this Roberta. I was going to say, that's okay. I have, I have iced tea.

Oh, that's, that's perfect. That's perfect. I love it. It's an honor. It's allowed Princess Ann. It's her birthday this week. And during ITV's 2021 documentary and the Princess Royal 70, which came out a few years ago, her former private secretary, Captain Sir Nicholas Wright said,

I'm very jealous. The Princess doesn't drink alcohol at all because of her active and schedule. I don't know why he was jealous of that, but she is a tea totaler supposedly. So cheers with our cupas to cup us with your iced coffee.

My iced tea. The thing with the iced tea for me is that it's actually my beloved Arnold Palmer, but I realized I was spending like six bucks every Arnold Palmer. So I limit it, but I splurged for today.

That's the easy one to make at home.

Is it? I need everything because how?

What is the tea that you use while we're on the topic of tea? You could say that to me about my trilates that I always buy out.

No, but tell me like, do I buy black tea, then, then steep it, brew it, and then chill it overnight, like make sure it's really cold.

That's what Dave's parents do. They actually have black tea leaves and like see it. Yeah, or bad.

Could Dave's parents please text me a recipe?

I'm a sweet tea girl only. That's probably because of growing up in the South. I know.

Delicious. Delicious.

Exactly. Before we get away, though, Roberta, we did want to chat quickly about television because I feel like it's a good time to make some recommendations.

What are you watching right now?

I just finished 1883, which was forced upon me by Dave. I had to watch it. It's the prequel Yellowstone.

It was very depressing, but it was well made.
