  • Summary

  • 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 no, we’re not just talking about Harry and Meghan. There are royal families and wild royal tales from around the world and throughout history that you have never heard before. From Wondery comes the latest from Even the Rich co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams. Even the Royals takes us 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.

In the end, he’ll have to make some hard choices – and decide if being a history-maker is worth giving up the love of the King.

  • George Villiers Part 1: Down to Crown | 48

    George Villiers Part 1: Down to Crown | 48
    Nov 4 2024

    George Villiers is a noble nobody who wants to be a royal somebody. He spots an opportunity for greatness by becoming one of King James’s Gentlemen of the Bedchamber, AKA the group of men who are bestowed with titles, cash…and sometimes the honor of being the king’s lover. But getting into James’ bed is easier said than done – especially when James’ current lover is a jealous, power-hungry Earl who has no intention of giving up the top spot.
