She’s lucky too. Hey, gotta go. Abigail just texted me.
Get your shit together, Your Highness.

EPISODE 749 TRANSCRIPT
Lindsey: He’sstillin the U.S.? What the hell is going on? It’s been over a week since the wedding.
Jen: Yep. He’s still there. But so is Linnea. It seems that the prince has been taking the duchess out to dinner and enjoying the local culture in Shreveport.
Lindsey:Shreveport. What’s in Shreveport? When he lived in Louisiana, it was down around New Orleans, right? And I always forget Linnea is a duchess.
Jen: Right. Her grandfather, besties with King Diarmuid, was given the title and all that land way back. She looks amazing in that green dress in those photos from their night out.
Lindsey: She does. ButwhyShreveport? Anyone know? If you have a theory, call in or comment on one of our social media posts. They’ve been seen entering and exiting the Magnolia Hotel, which isveryposh. They’re in the penthouse. Jonah Greene, the prince’s longtime friend and bodyguard, is there with them so this must be palace-approved, right?
Jen: Oh, it is! Didn’t you see the statement from the palace?
Lindsey: Wait, there’s an official statement?
Jen: Yes! And I quote, “The Prince and Duchess have known each other since they were children. That they have a close friendship should be no surprise and their families are delighted that they enjoy spending time together.”
Lindsey: Okay, that sounds like the royal family is on board with this trip…and all it entails.
Jen: It really does. Oh! What if heproposesto her while they’re in the U.S.?
Lindsey: Instead of doing ithere? He should propose in Cara, don’t you think?
Jen: I knowI’llbe disappointed if it happens somewhere else. Even if the U.S. is meaningful to the prince,thisis their home.
Lindsey: I agree. Okay, listeners, let us know what you think.

Mother: Linnea, we are delighted about the news we’re seeing regarding you and Torin! The king is getting restless, but this trip is helping. Well done. But please remind Torin that a proposal cannot happen anywhere but Cara. That would be in terribly poor taste.
Two hours later…
How many bridesmaids are you planning on?
Two days later…
I had lunch with Queen Roisin and Princess Ábria. I really need to know about the bridesmaids. Please respond.
Three days later…
I really need you to respond. Diarmuid and Roisin have asked us to let all statements come from the palace for now, but once your engagement is official, our family can issue some kind of release. I would love to hear from you. And remind Torin about the proposal. And I need to know about bridesmaids. More than six would be tacky.

EPISODE 757 TRANSCRIPT
Lindsey: Okay, you all hada lotof opinions about Prince Torin proposing to Linnea in the U.S. rather than here. I’m not surprised. I feel the same way as eighty-two percent of our listeners. That would be crappy.
Jen: I get it. I do. They’re from here. They’re two of Cara’s most beloved public figures. But what if there’s some special spot in Louisiana that’s really meaningful to him? That could be really romantic. The U.S. was part of his life for ten years!
Lindsey: He did not live in Louisiana the whole time. AndCarais his country. And he’s not just some guy. He’s our prince! No. The engagement needs to happenhere.
