    Jun 16 2022

    Within the annals of royal love stories, that of King Edward the 8th and Wallis Simpson stands as maybe the greatest. After all, it was a love strong enough for Edward to give up his crown...

  • King Charles II: The one true "Party King"
    Jun 9 2022

    King Charles the second ruled England for 25 years. And in that time, he focused more on chasing women than he did on politics. He paraded a succession of mistresses in front of the public, as well as his wife Queen Catherine.

    He was known as the Merry Monarch and he was known to be obsessed with sensuality. In this episode, LJ Charleston takes a look at the life of the one true Party King to see if he really lived up to his name.
