Listen "Can a Duchess Be Political?"
Episode Synopsis
When Meghan mentioned #metoo at her first appearance with The Royal Foundation, she created quite a stir. The question on everyone's mind: Can a (future) duchess be political? Sean and Craig weigh in on how royals of the past from Victoria to Elizabeth II to Diana and now Meghan have exerted influence without overstepping their role. Eleanor Bennett joins the debate as Spoke's resident #metoo expert. Special thanks to Isabelle Mattinson for narration and to Jason Elrod for his whistling kettle. *Correction: Queen Elizabeth famously danced with the President of Ghana, not Nigeria, which is depicted in Season 2 of The Crown. Sean has been sent to The Tower of London to await his punishment for this error.
