The monarchy is fake history! What you think you know about kings and queens probably isn't true - or at least not the whole truth. In this first episode of Republic's new podcast From Below the Balcony, Graham Smith and Abby Tarttelin talk to author and journalist Andrew Scott, aka Otto English, about the fake history of the royal family. Heroes and heroins or gangsters and dictators. Find out what Henry V, Charles II, George IV and other monarchs were really like - and which one Andrew actually quite likes!
