Geef het maar toe: je bent gefascineerd door koninklijke families – je volgt ze, roddelt over ze en droomt ervan in hun schoenen te staan. Het is pure fantasie. Maar voor echte royals kunnen de kroonjuwelen aanvoelen als glanzende handboeien. Er zijn verwachtingen en regels – en wie ze overtreedt, krijgt te maken met grote en zeer publieke gevolgen.
En nee, we hebben het niet alleen over Harry en Meghan. Over de hele wereld en door de geschiedenis heen zijn er koninklijke families en wilde verhalen die je nog nooit eerder hebt gehoord.
Van Wondery komt Even the Royals, de nieuwste podcast van Even the Rich-hosts Brooke Siffrinn en Aricia Skidmore-Williams. Zij nemen je mee in de afgesloten wereld van koningshuizen, vroeger en nu, waar rijkdom en status vaak ten koste gaan van je vrijheid – en soms zelfs van je leven. In deze verhalen hebben heel menselijke emoties als jaloezie, liefde en afkeer de kracht om de wereld te veranderen.
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.

Behind every royal heir is a “spare” — but while the heir gets the crown, the spare often steals the spotlight. These backup royals may be second in line, but their lives are anything but second-rate. From sibling rivalries and scandalous headlines to unexpected twists of fate, today we’re unpacking all the drama, intrigue, and chaos that come with being royal… but not the royal. Brooke and Aricia are joined by fellow royals-obsessed duo, Amanda Matta (@matta_of_fact) and Meredith Constant (@meredithconstant), co-hosts of the podcast, Off With Their Headlines, to dish on the most fascinating spares in history – and today’s tabloids.
