And there are royalfamilies and wild royal tales from around the world and throughout history that youhave never heard before.Even the Royals is a new podcast from Wondery that takes you inside the cloisteredworld of royal families, past and present, where wealth and status often come atthe expense of your freedom – and maybe even your life.
