What's up, Queens? Welcome to the female dating strategy. I'm your host Roe. I'm

Susanna and this is Lilith. And we have a great show. We're going to talk all things royal family,

including that new interview with Megan and Harry and Oprah that's garnering a lot of

controversy right now in the British press, specifically from One Pierce Morgan.

So from watching the interview with Megan and Harry and Oprah, I mean, the one thing that kind of

stuck out to me was like, of all she seemed really really naive about

the british royal family and as an american i have to admit i don't know that much either um

so i don't know if there's like more history there that you can go into yeah so the resident fds

historian will now take over and give you a whistle-stop tour of the

history of the royal family. Just to put the Megan and Harry interview into more context, because

it seems like a lot of the people who are watching that interview may not necessarily

understand how the royal

family, you know, works as an institution. So the royal family is essentially like any royal family

is about self-preservation. You know, they are all about, you know, producing airs and passing down

their wealth titles and rules and customs down to next generation so they can

keep going and so power remains with them so in terms of the royal family when it comes to marriage

and relationships they don't operate on the same i guess i don't subscribe to the same rules that

we would do so for example william and har, they have to get the Queen's permission, you know,

when they want to marry somebody.

So the Queen can actually veto, you know, their marriage if she deems that person unsuitable.

This did actually happen back in the 1950s when the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, wanted to marry a group captain Peter Townsend.

A group captain was a divorcee and his ex-wife was still alive.
