The Royal Central Podcast: are we fair to royal women?

This week on the Royal Central Podcast, the debate is all about royal women. We ask whether royal women today get enough credit for their work and take a look back at the queens and princesses of the past to debate whether their fascinating lives can ever be truly uncovered after centuries of male dominated history. And do you count Jane Grey as a Queen of England or an unlucky lady? Join Moniek Bloks, Kristin Contino and Lydia Starbuck for this week’s royal discussion.
