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 there are royal

families and wild royal tales from around the world and throughout history that you

have never heard before.

Even the Royals is a new podcast from Wondery that takes you 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.

This is just a preview of Even the Royals. You can listen to the full episode wherever

you get your podcasts, or at Wondery.fm/royals_historicalblindness.
