Queens, Kings and Dastardly Things is a new podcast that dives into scandals of royal eras past and present.
With no limits on historical period or geography, the podcast will uncover stories as far-flung as The Nepalese Massacre and traverse six centuries of royal history.
Hosted by fellow royal enthusiasts, Kate Williams and Robert Hardman, together they have over 40 years’ worth of experience, 20 historical novels and several hit documentaries between them.
As well as offering a weekly dose of royal history, Kate and Robert will attempt to answer a central question in each episode. Confirmed subjects across the ten-part series include:
- Did Mary Queen of Scots murder her husband?
- Did a grieving Queen Victoria secretly marry her servant?
- James II and his fake heir scandal!
- Did a sex pest really cause the Russian Revolution?
From DMG Media, the first episode of Queens, Kings and Dastardly Things will be available on all podcast platforms from Wednesday 7 August.
