144. Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, Duchess of Teck: Fat Mary, Part Two

In this second half of the story of Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck, Alicia takes us through the family's financial exile to Italy - Queen Vic thought living in Florence would restrain the lavish spending the Tecks were known for - and the circuitous, flu-induced path that took Fat Mary's daughter from shy noblewoman to future Queen of England. Oh - and why some historians have falsely tarred Queen Mary as a kleptomaniac. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast. To advertise on this podcast, reach out to [e-mail].
