#PopVultures Ep 19: Harry, Meghan and the mayhem at Buckingham

30:32 mins

Synopsis: A podcast by The Straits Times that examines all the ins and outs of pop culture, be it Asian entertainment or Hollywood.

This week, the #PopVultures go all in on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - aka the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - and their decision to step back as senior members of the royal family who will be spending their time between UK and Canada. Why is this such a big news story and what was brewing before?

What are some of the incidents in the history of the royal family that have influenced their relationship with the press? What is the Royal Rota and why do Harry and Meghan want out from this media system?

Finally, who is truly the black sheep of the Windsor family?

Is it really Harry and Meghan or is it Prince Andrew, who hung out with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein?

Listen to the #PopVultures spill that atas royal tea! (ASMR included!)
