This week we're talking about the British Royal Family and their place in popular culture: commemorative plates, scandalous remarks, linguistic quirks... the lot!

As usual, we're also looking in depth at some key bits of British English. This week it's the verb 'to flog' and the phrases 'posh totty', 'the done thing', 'to drop a clanger' and 'to raise a few eyebrows'.

For all the things we mention but don’t fully explain, check out the Cheat Sheet for this episode, which you can download from our Patreon page.
