Why is a woman named Samantha arguing with Prince Harry on Twitter? Kristen and James are getting over their New Years hangovers, but Meghan and Harry's love is surely helping. This week on the show: that horribly racist brooch Princess Michael of Kent wore to the Queen's Christmas lunch, a deep dive into those amazing engagement photos, and another wedding day guest list prediction.
We would love to hear your own predictions and #Heghan fascinations. You can tweet them to @KristenMeinzer, @ImJamesBarr, and @RoyalWeddingPod, or send a note at [email protected]
