Prince Harry said all the stars were aligned when he fell in love with Meghan Markle. And we just learned that Meghan herself has dabbled in fortune-telling. Her former psychic, Richard Win, told Meghan just months before she met Harry that London was calling. Sean and Craig look to how kings and queens of the past have consulted clairvoyants about affairs - of the heart and the state. And finally, GOOP-approved Psychic Shirley brings her tarot cards to invoke the spirit of Harry's mother - the late Princess Diana - to see if she approves of the match.

Can a Duchess Be Political? Mar 22, 2018

Show notes

When Meghan mentioned #metoo at her first appearance with The Royal Foundation, she created quite a stir. The question on everyone's mind: Can a (future) duchess be political? Sean and Craig weigh in on how royals of the past from Victoria to Elizabeth II to Diana and now Meghan have exerted influence without overstepping their role. Eleanor Bennett joins the debate as Spoke's resident #metoo expert. Special thanks to Isabelle Mattinson for narration and to Jason Elrod for his whistling kettle. *Correction: Queen Elizabeth famously danced with the President of Ghana, not Nigeria, which is depicted in Season 2 of The Crown. Sean has been sent to The Tower of London to await his punishment for this error.
