Summary

We’re throwing it back to high school and dishing out some superlatives — with a royal twist of course. Who’s the most rebellious royal? Which couple gets the sweetest love story? And who will be crowned our most devious schemer? Brooke and Aricia are joined on the yearbook committee by Katy Hearne-Church and Nathan Foster, hosts of Queens Podcast, where they talk about the royals you may or may not have heard about in history class. The four hosts will share their Royal insights, hot takes, and discuss which queens would’ve been besties IRL (hint: some answers might surprise you).

0:34.1	It simultaneously feels like forever and no time at all. So what about royal lives have you taken away from the past year?
0:39.7	Basically, it pretty much sucks. And if you have a vagina, your only job is to push out a child.
0:46.8	And it better be a male. Yeah. And that real love is hard to come by, you know? It is. Real love that's not influenced by power or making an air.
