The Two Royal Names We’ve Been Arguing About All Day
Subscribe to Mamamia Two senior royals have been named as alleged ‘racists’ in the Dutch copy of Omid Scobie’s new biography, Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival. We unpack how it all happened (apparently by accident) and whether or not we should even reveal the royals in question. The names of 60 women were read out in parliament this week, all were killed by men in their lives this year. We discuss the horrifying reality of domestic violence in Australia and what it will take to finally change it. And, Holly, Mia, and Jessie wrap up the week with their best and worst moments, which included an office flashing incident, leaky breast milk, and Trinny and Mia’s uncomfortable conversation. The End Bits: Listen to our latest episode: The Peaks You Reach Over 40 Read: Imagine if 68 Australian men had been murdered at the hands of women this year. Read: Omid Scobie denies naming the royals in his book. The Dutch translator says otherwise.
