"Majesty" chat with Katharine McGee

Elissa talks about the new book "Finding Freedom" and how fundamentally Harry wanted out. The book serves as a testimony for Meghan as she is a perfectionist that didn't succeed as a royal....some would say. Elissa shares quotes from the author and adds in her own opinions. Then we hear a clip from the creator of The Crown about adding in cast members to season 4. And, we cheer on Prince William as he gets the entire Football Association to sign a Declaration dedicated to mental health. You go, William. 

Meghan and the cookie-cutter Duchess role

Style and Royal writer, Britt Stephens, joins Elissa on this episode where they chat about the racism awakening in the world. Does the Royal family need to own up to their history? And, what does the alleged treatment of Meghan by reporters and within Palace walls have to do with it? 

Royalty and Owning Up to Racism

Elissa is joined by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, the brilliant writers behind the website, and the novels "The Royal We" and "The Heir Affair". Both are ideal for all Royal followers. In this episode of The Royal Fascinator podcast we talk about their gateways to following the royals, their incredible website, and writing process. 

The Fug Girls chat "The Heir Affair"

Welcome back! We are still quarantined over here and being very careful. In this short episode I chat about some personal updates and how things are shaping up for Harry and Meghan. I couldn't help plugging the documentary that discusses a bit of Prince Andrew and his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. It seems that once royals were born to rule, but now they are born to give back. Is that enough? Lots to explore in season 2!  

Season 2 Intro

Elissa welcomes Stacey Roberts of The Veggie Mama, The Throne Rangers podcast, AND the @NormCoreRoyals account on instagram. They chat about Commonwealth Day where we saw Harry and Meghan in their finally engagement as Senior Royals.

The Sussex Exit and a Global Pandemic

Elissa fangirls over both Kate Middleton and Katie Baddock, the creator behind the wildly popular Instagram account @KateMidleton.  Katie and Elissa chat about why the account was created, how it morphed, and the hidden talents that Katie has (check out the show notes on to see her artwork).  They also chat about how Katie encourages her followers to be kind and nonjudgemental about the royal women. 

Katie Baddock from @KateMidleton

Elissa is joined by Creative Director and Royal Blogger, Christine Ross, to chat about Kate's podcast appearance (the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast by Giovanna Fletcher). The Duchess was promoting a survey (now closed) about the early development in humans. The survey is to create a conversation, and create a conversation it did! Elissa and Christine the things that Kate does that inspired them as mothers. As well, they evaluate in what ways they can do the best job they can. 

Kate Gets Personal - So Do We!

A nice, quick episode today! Elissa chats how Kate plays homage to McQueen on the 10th anniversary of his death. She then chats about Princess Anne's new role - the first women with the role. And, the Queen's eldest grandson is separating from his wife of 12 years. 

Kate's Homage to McQueen

Elissa and Alexa discuss the dress code surrounding this year's BAFTA's: sustainability. Prince Charles meets with Greta Thunberg (environmental activist) allowing the hosts to dig deep into the efforts that Prince Charles has made throughout the years. They play a who-done-it game between Charles and Greta in regards to their efforts.   

Royal Sustainability

Recorded a day before Harry and Meghan announce they are stepping down as Royals. Author Katharine McGee and Elissa chat about her novel "American Royals", what it is like being an author, and do Americans have "castle envy" since we don't have a stabilizing figure like the Queen? Katharine and Elissa also chat about the decisions that Harry and Meghan are facing. Was this too rushed of a decision and how will it all pan out? 

Harry and Meghan Step Down with Katharine McGee

Listen to Elissa and listener comments as we chat about what Harry and Meghan hope to gain in 2020 after announcing they want to step back as 'Senior Royals'. Are they still in line to the throne? How will they work with the Queen while serving their own efforts? Can this work? Time will tell!
