Despite all their recent family scandals, Beatrice and Eugenie attended a high profile royal wedding last week. And Prince William made sure the press could see his friendly feelings toward them both.
So is it right that these two young royals should - or could - be back into the fold, and what value could they bring to a rather under-staffed royal family? Or should they be made to stand outside the inner circle as a consequence of their own alleged mistakes, and the sins of their parents?
Phil is then joined by Emma Southon, an expert on Ancient Rome who spoke on the podcast two year ago about Roman women. Now she has turned her attention to Rome’s millions of slaves and - in this very entertaining and enlightening conversation - she has a LOT to say about their lives and how historians have tended to romanticise them in the past.

Phil has recently spoken very positively about the way King Charles is handling his reign. But there’s a story about his earlier - and much more controversial - life that’s hardly ever been told. In his bachelor days and as a young man recently married to Diana Spencer, Charles was heavily under the influence of some seriously strange - even dangerous - people. So who were the men who shaped the mindset of Britain’s future King, and psychologically prepared him for marriage and public life? You’ll be surprised!
Phil is then joined by young academic Amilia Gillies to discuss the weird and wonderful world of another royal court - that of King James (the 1st of England and 6th of Scotland). It was a colourful and highly scandalous time, full of larger than life characters and some very naughty poetry!

Phil has never been a fan of King Charles - especially in the Diana era - but should he reassess in the light of the recent royal tour of the USA, and his undoubted diplomatic triumphs there?
Phil is then joined by writer and friend Antonia Senior to discuss her gripping new book - already on the best seller lists - and how it brings the story of the Cambridge Spies to life in a completely new way. Spoiler alert - she doesn’t like them one bit!

As the testimony of Prince Harry’s latest law suit against the tabloids concludes, we learn that Harry himself was sending flirty messages to journalists. Has he sunk his own case?
Phil is then joined by Prof Mark Stoyle, an expert on 16th and 17th Century Britain to talk about the world of Samuel Pepys, one of the greatest - and most honest - diarists of all time. Phil and Mark explore the filth and the frolics of Pepy’s London in an entertaining mix of social history and salacious scandal!

Everyone is talking about the new Tom Bower book on Meghan and Harry - and Phil is no exception. But how much of it is real, and how much is simply ‘deranged gossip’, as one critic called it. As a former royal biographer, Phil explains how damaging personal royal stories like these come out…and why!
Then this week’s guest is Simon Dinsdale a very entertaining ex police detective who took his experience solving high profile murder cases and turned it into a new life writing crime novels. Simon talks very well about how policing has changed during his lifetime. Sometimes for good…but also sometimes for bad.

Phil is joined this week by historian Caroline Sharples to discuss her brand new book on the facts of Hitler’s death - but also what she calls ‘the emotional history’ of an event that was hoped for by many, feared by some, and pre-planned by many people, including Hitler himself.
So just how did the world learn of this historic event - and how was it proved to the satisfaction of global opinion. Hint - it involves the tyrant’s teeth!

Phil begins with his reaction to the latest royal news as the police finally move to arrest Britain’s disgraced former prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
He’s then joined by writer Neil Root to talk about the incredible life, and untimely death, of Peter Rachman, the most notorious landlord in 1950 and 60s London. His life intersected with many of the dangerous - but also glamorous - men and women of his time, as the city boomed and then prepared to 'swing’, as told in Neil’s excellent book on criminal and social history, called SLUMLORD...

Phil is very much occupied by Australia this week.
He starts by sharing his thoughts on a recent boycott of an important Writer's Festival in Adelaide because of a row about open support for Hamas and its murderous actions on 7/10. The boycott was by mostly left-of-centre wing writers and broadcasters, some of whom Phil has worked with and knows well. He doesn’t think they were right!
Then - in the week that Prince Andrew finally leaves Royal Lodge - Phil turns to the state of the British royal family’s relationships with Australia, in the company of lawyer, broadcaster and long-term royal observer Caroline Di Russo.
From the rise and fall of republicanism through Australia’s love affair with Diana Princess of Wales and then its (brief!) embrace of Prince Harry in his ‘Larkin Prince’ phase, this is a fascinating convo (as they would say in Australia) about royalty, politics and culture down under.

In the first episode of 2026 Phil talks to his old friend Stephen Moss, one of Britain’s leading bird watchers. It’s a colourful and amusing conversation - full of surprises.
‘Birding’ has become very popular in recent years as more and more of us take an interest in conservation and the natural world. But, even amongst the normally placid ’twitching’ community, there are many issues and controversies to explore - and even some actual scandal.
Stephen’s books are available here...

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
In this extended episode Phil reviews his year then welcomes his old pod-pal Andrew Lownie back to discuss the continuing fall out from his bestselling book on Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, and to drop some major hints about his next project - the marriage of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. What truth lies behind the rumours of his multiple affairs, the suggestion that she enjoyed at least one alternative relationship, and that Philip may not have been Andrew’s real father?
Expect some scandalous suggestions.
After that Phil is showing a video of his recent interview with Sonia Purnell, biographer of Pamela Churchill/Harriman. This interview - filmed at a recent literary event - is full of juicy details about a life that was packed with scandal, but also very momentous.

During WW2, Allied propaganda portrayed Adolf Hitler as….er…lacking in certain areas of male physique.
Recently, the world’s leading forensic DNA scientists have extracted Hitler’s genetic material from an old bloodstain - and discovered some remarkable things about his health, his mental state and, yes, the likely state of his genitals.
Historian Guy Waters - an expert on the Nazis - joins Phil to explore what all of this means for our understanding of one of history’s greatest villains.

In this second part of Phil’s conversation with investigative writer Andy Webb, they explore perhaps the most troubling part of this saga - a BBC cover up that involved some of the most senior figures in British broadcasting and which kept the truth about this interview hidden for almost 30 years.
It’s a story that reflects very badly on the BBC and the UK ‘establishment’, in which brave whistle blowers are punished, time serving hacks are promoted and Diana herself goes to her grave not knowing that she had been told numerous false stories about those closest to her. Andy even believes that her life may have been saved had she been told the truth in time.
Phil worked with and knew many of the key players of this saga, including his former BBC colleague Martin Bashir, the Panorama team members who first raised the alarm about the interview and his friend Patrick Jephson.

When Diana, Princess of Wales sat down with BBC Panorama reporter Martin Bashir in November 1995 she shook the British monarchy and changed the course of her own life.
Bashir obtained this interview by - allegedly - using forged bank statements and telling Diana a series of lurid stories about her husband getting their nanny pregnant, plans to have her killed, the imminent death of the Queen and the bribery of her key staff.
Allegations about how this interview was secured triggered a crisis inside the BBC, a long cover up, a judge led inquiry and then - finally - an unprecedented BBC apology along with compensation payments to the many people damaged along the way. These include whistle-blowing BBC journalists and Diana’s own Private Secretary, Patrick Jephson.
Writer Andy Webb has spent decades investigating this story and is the main reason it ever came to public knowledge. His new book - DIANARAMA - is the full and definitive account of what happened, and it’s packed with shocking new details.
Phil worked with and knew many of the key players of this saga, including his former BBC colleague Martin Bashir, the Panorama team members who first raised the alarm about the interview and his friend Patrick Jephson.

After updating on the latest scandals to shake British politics, Phil returns to the greatest royal story of the decade - the fall of (ex)Prince Andrew.
Joining him this special double episode is Shauna Kay from The Vintage Read. Phil and Shauna jointly reviewed Virginia Giuffre’s autobiography last week - and there are some matters outstanding!
Shauna and Phil discuss the latest news and allegations about Andrew, Epstein, Maxwell and - indeed - Giuffre herself. Then they are joined by former senior royal protection officer Dai Davies who has his own strong and well informed ideas about what should happen next to Andrew Windsor.

Phil is back from Australia and will be certain to share a few stories and photos.
He’s returned to find Britain’s Labour government beset with scandals old and new - about grooming gangs, the influence of China on espionage cases and on the shadowy funding of Keir Starmer's own election campaign. What’s going on?
But the main story of the week is the continuing saga of Prince Andrew’s connection to the Epstein affair, thrown into new relief by the publication of Virginia Giuffrie’s powerful and shocking book NOBODY’S GIRL. It contains powerful allegations about Prince Andrew and other men - but (to the disappointment of some) is rather generous towards Donald Trump.
All of this is running in parallel with continuing pressure on the Trump administration to publish everything it knows about the activities of Jeffrey Epstein. And the great expert on that story - our friend Clive Irving - joins Phil to reveal what’s going on behind the scenes in Washington - and why it matters.
You can buy the new book in our own bookshop - and all of Clive’s books’s too...

Phil is in Australia this week, combining a holiday in some of his favourite cities with several talks about 1945 The Reckoning.
But before he left he spoke to Roger Moorhouse about his fascinating new book on U Boats in WW2. Roger tells the story almost exclusively through the eyes of the German Navy, and the men who risked and very often lost their lives in submarines. It makes for a surprising new way of understanding a critical part of WW2.

Several Australia listeners have asked for a list of where Phil is speaking there. And so here are some opportunities to see him and say ‘G’Day’.

This week Phil discusses how the British royals handled Donald Trump’s recent visit and gets excited about his upcoming trip to Australia.
Then historian Steve Tibble makes his second appearance on the podcast to talk about hi new book Assassins and Templars - a rip-roaring account of intrigue, conspiracy and murder in the bloody age of the Crusades. Or - as Phil puts it - history as if told by Quentin Tarantino.
You can buy Steve’s book here in our own bookshop...

This week Phil is delighted to welcome super well-informed writer Valentine Low back onto the podcast. Valentine has a new book out this week on the relationship between the royal family and British governments. It's full of juicy and revelatory stories - such as Queen Elizabeth intervening in the Scottish independence referendum, and a teenage Queen Camilla fighting off an attacker with a well aimed shoe!
Before that Phil discusses Prince Harry's recent visit to Britain, his meeting with King Charles and rumours that he might make a film about his mother - including allegations about her death not being an accident - perhaps in competition with another film to be made by Prince William! What's going on?
Valentine's book is available here in our own bookshop...
