Shameless

Hello, everyone!

As far as scandals go, there aren’t many bigger than Harry and Meghan’s dramatic estrangement from the British royal family. So, how did we get here? And who was really at fault for one of the great family fracturings of our time? 

This episode was researched by Eilish Gilligan and Chloe Wilson, and audio produced by Annabelle Lee.
