In parts one and two, Catherine fought for security in the French royal court, using all the tools available to her: negotiation, edicts ... and a little murder. But as Catherine’s reign nears its end, her legacy is in danger. She only has three sons left, and none of them are predicted to survive. And if they die, her line of power will end. Catherine will do everything she can to rewrite fate – or die trying.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen early and ad-free on Wondery+.

Catherine de Medici of France Part 3:  Boys & Betrayals  | 15

Admit it: you’re obsessed with royal families – watching them, gossiping about them, wanting to be them. It’s the stuff of fantasy. But for real life royals, the crown jewels can be more like shiny handcuffs. There are expectations and rules – and if you break them, the consequences are big, and very public. And no, we’re not just talking about Harry and Meghan. There are royal families and wild royal tales from around the world and throughout history that you have never heard before. From Wondery comes the latest from Even the Rich co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams. Even the Royals takes us inside the cloistered world of royal families, past and present, where wealth and status often come at the expense of your freedom – and maybe even your life. In these stories, very human emotions, like jealousy, love, disgust, have the power to reshape the world.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
