The concept of the Heir and Spare dates back thousands of years and is one of the main pillars when discussing the titled peerage and really ANY Royal Family. "Who will inherit?!" is the question they always come back to. Since the release Spare, Prince Harry was very transparent about this disparity STILL being alive and well within The House of W…

Prince Harry has been very vulnerable and open in the public, especially now with his new book Spare. Today, we break down my thoughts and how I don't think things are going fully as he planned.

The King's Speech (2010) is a wonderful tribute to King George VI and tells the classic story of the underdog. While they get a fair amount correct, they are not fault free here. Certain things get left out completely, and some portrayals are not fair. While this is the 2011 Oscar-Winning Film, this week we put The King's Speech under the microscop…

It is know that the show is fictitious and they change things but. . . Season 4 of The Crown may have accidentally gotten too close to the truth?
