You think getting is divorced is hard? We agree, but in England, if you're in the Royal Family, it's a Royal Pain. In this extra fun episode, host Billie Tarascio and Modern Law's Sarah Encarnacion sit with UK Solicitor and former Barrister  Tracy Maloney, (yeah, we'll explain the difference) who spills on the Royal Family Divorces and how the British Monarchy finally got around to saying it's okay to divorce.  It only took a few hundred years to allow divorce, which is a way better than what became of Henry VIII's wives, but divorce nevertheless remains a trauma not only for the spouses, but sometimes whole countries as well. Just think Princess Diana, and Megan Markle, and you'll get the picture. You might just feel better about your own divorce after listening in!You can find Tracey on her UK website at https://moloneyfamilylaw.co.uk/
