Sarah Wilson: Fake British Princess

You might have heard of Anna Delvey, or the Tinder Swindler but  what if we told you, 250 years ago...a lowly English maid named Sarah Wilson made these modern imposters look like a bunch of amateurs.

The history books might have forgotten about this fascinating rapscallion, but we sure haven't.    Listen to Scoundrel ad-free, with bonus content, at KastMedia.com/KastPlus Listen to Scoundrel ad-free, with bonus content at Amazon MusicSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
