Episode 8: Erased by the Crown: Disinherited, Disappeared, Denied
What happens when royalty doesn't play by the rules, or worse, becomes a threat to the story the monarchy wants to tell? In this mini episode, Lo and Presley dive into six royals from around the world who were cut off, silenced, or edited out of history.
Covered in this episode:
Princess Mako of Japan: Left the throne for love—and PTSD.
Prince Friso of the Netherlands: Disinherited over a secret-keeping fiancée.
The Princes in the Tower: England’s most chilling royal vanishing act.
Princess Deokhye of Korea: Taken, institutionalized, and erased during occupation.
Princess Soraya of Iran: Loved by the Shah, divorced by infertility.
King Kigeli V of Rwanda: A monarch deposed, denied return, and buried in exile.
