Shownotes

Brace yourselves for this juicy episode of Queen's Podcast where Nathan and Katy spill the tea on the heck of a ride that was Christina of Sweden's life - part two! This queen's life was no snoozefest - think lavish parties with wine flowing from fountains, a theater for the ladies in Rome, and a whole lot of rule-breaking. So buckle up, queens, as we dive into her reign, her dramatic exit from royalty, her Roman escapades, and her legacy as the original hipster queen who loved stirring the pot. Let's get into it!
