Royal Swindle
Hosted by Exactly Right Media and iHeartPodcasts · EN
In 1996, two Aussie lesbian lovers touch down in London and become the toast of British high society. One of them starts touting an exclusive investment opportunity and, before long, the money is rolling in.
But the millionaire duo are concealing a dark past and dastardly intentions. Unsuspecting businessmen and England’s horse-loving elite fall under their seductive spell. Even Queen Elizabeth II gets a dose of the couple’s irresistible charms. But when a small-town detective gets wind of their exploits and vows to stop them, he finds they are exceedingly hard to catch. Host Becky Milligan tracks down one half of the duplicitous duo and persuades her to tell all in this extraordinary tale of greed, lies and love. A true rom-con for the ages.
Royal Swindle is a Blanchard House production for USG Audio, in partnership with Exactly Right Media.
