Summary

It’s General Election week, but there’ll be no talk of #GE2017 here (firstly, it’s already over.) Instead, we discuss Prince William’s revelatory interview with GQ - and Princess Diana’s relationship with the media. Also in today’s episode, we discuss Miss Eaves’ music video ‘Thunder Thighs’ and the new spate of ‘body posi’ bloggers; and whether purely inhabiting your body could be more progressive than ‘owning' it. Also noteworthy: Dolly is addicted to Wagamama and Pandora went to see the Baywatch movie. Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review for The High Low on iTunes! Every review helps.
