All kinds of spiderwebs are hidden within the walls of the place. Also included, lots of silliness from the morning coffee and visits from some of our favorite kings and Tudor friends, and a few new characters too.

Alicia is truly obsessed with Shakespeare's Macbeth and what a better time to talk about this particular work? The Scottish Play truly has everything trashy you like - witches, treachery, fate, fortune, murder and ultimate tragedy. None of it is historically accurate though. No matter – it is still an incredible tale that we will contract against the real-life figures soon in our Trashy Royals journey. Sponsors Give the gift of quality this holiday season!

The Grimaldi family was considered scandalous enough in Queen Victoria’s time that she forbade any of her close relatives to marry into it, leading Prince Albert I of Monaco to marry an American heiress in 1889 – a precedent that would matter decades later when Prince Rainier III, urged on by none other than shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, began interviewing Hollywood A-listers for a very special role: Princess of Monaco.

The House of Grimaldi has ruled the tiny principality of Monaco since January 8, 1297, when Francois “The Spiteful” Grimaldi disguised himself as a monk and knocked on his uncle’s castle door, launching a coup. In the violence that followed, according to legend, a woman – possibly a lover of Francois, possibly a witch he had wronged (can’t it be both?) – issued a curse that has resonated across the centuries: “Never will a Grimaldi find true happiness in marriage.” Sponsors Find the fall pieces you’ll reach for most at Quince.
