About this listen

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.

Despite her lack of experience, Noor decides to join the resistance. But to help save humanity from Hitler's reign of terror, she'll have to betray the peaceful faith that shaped her. And as the Nazis close in on Paris, Noor discovers that fighting for what's right might cost her more than just her principles – it could also cost her her life.

    In Part One, Isabella learns that her husband, King Edward II, is more devoted to his male favorites than his queen – or his crown. But his latest obsession isn’t just scandalous, it’s disastrous for England. As tensions in England rise, Isabella decides she can’t stay silent any longer. It’s clear the king must go.

    Jun 30 2025

    Before she became known as “The She-Wolf of France,” Isabella was a princess sent to unite two warring kingdoms through marriage. But her husband, King Edward II of England, didn’t get the same memo. From day one, it’s clear he’s more interested in the cute men at court than his queen – or his crown. As Edward’s reckless choices endanger the English throne and strain relations with France, Isabella will have to decide if she’ll remain a loyal queen – or take matters into her own hands.
