The Royal Toe-Job That Stopped A Nation

Lowbrow

Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women 25 years apart.

There's been no shortage of royal scandals over the years, but in 1992, one photo involving some toes being sucked next to a pool blew up in the tabloids like nothing else.

This episode, resident royal expert Holly explains to Em who 'Fergie' is, why Queen Lizzie hates her, and delves into why the world holds female royals to such a different standard to men.

One story, two generations, so much WTF.
