With the death and funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, we revisit our 22nd episode all about the Royal Family. In 1969, Queen Elizabeth II and her family were followed around by a film crew for a special documentary to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the Royal Family. While the public loved it, the Queen did not and it was banned forever. Until last year, when it was leaked to the internet. In this episode, we talk about the documentary and quiz my friend Lance Thompson!
