Would we Russia 1917 the Royals? Find out! This episode imagines the inner life of the British Royal Family, with speculation about its members, their marriages, and merges a sex-based and class-based critique of the aristocracy in Britain. We speculate that the inner Royals are quite miserable, consider that perhaps Charles and Camilla are an example of an epic 'love story', and comment on Prince Harry's obvious oedipal behaviour via Freud's theory of the compulsion to repeat. Includes wider discussion about the rumour that posh men are ineffective lovers, the British cultural adoration for queuing, and the inner Protestant wish to be punished by nanny. The episode ends with a call for Princess Anne to ascend the throne and Hannah exposes Jen's shocking deviation away from communism by sympathetically watching the Queen's funeral.
