Lady Colin Campbell joins Andrew and Phil again with an exclusive sneak peek at her new and explosive book on Meghan, Harry, the angry confrontations that shook the British royal family and Meghan's troubled family background. Based on her connections in the highest reaches of the British aristocracy - and her friendship with the Markle family - this is an uncompromising account of social climbing and what Lady Colin calls 'pathological narcissism' which challenges many of the stories told in the couple's Netflix series, to Oprah Winfrey and in Harry's book Spare.

In today’s episode Andrew and Phil explore some truly shocking allegations about one of the most celebrated figures of the 20th Century, Lord Louis Mountbatten, and reveal new evidence and insights into what could be one of the greatest scandals in the history of the British royal family.
Andrew’s book on Mountbatten and his wife Edwina created a sensation when it was published in 2019. Packed with new accounts of the highs and lows of a remarkable life it included the many rumours and allegations that had long circulated about the famous Lord, and critically it also included named witnesses testifying that they had been abused by him.
The book - along with Andrew’s campaign to gain full access to the papers of the Mountbatten family - propelled the story onto the front pages of the British press for the first time.
Much of Andrew’s work involves a long-running British abuse scandal, the Kincora Boy’s Home affair. Having made a groundbreaking TV investigation of this story in the 1990s, breaking Britain’s Official Secret’s Act on behalf of the BBC, Phil brings a unique perspective of his own to this dark but fascinating subject.

This week Prof Alan Lester joins Phil to lift the lid on a little known - but certainly scandalous - slice of British imperial history - the Opium Wars.
There’s much debate today about slavery and how much - or little - it contributed to the wealth of the great European empires. But much less is known about the role that Britain and other empires played in the hugely profitable opium trade, and the one-sided wars that were waged to stop Chinese emperors from banning it. It’s a fascinating tale of greed, opportunism and skulduggery in high places.

With their non-royal but actually quite royal 'anti colonialism' tour of Colombia seen as a success by many media commentators, what message was Harry and Meghan trying to send to the world, to Britain and - especially - to their royal siblings and siblings in law in London?
And why did a curiously timed but well sourced profile appear on the front page of the London Times, pointing out that Prince William does not now intend to invite his own brother even to to the back row (or standing room only section) of his own coronation? With or without a plus one!
Simon Vigar, royal correspondent for Five News, joins Phil to pick over the events of the summer. Are Harry and Meghan creating a new brand for themselves as key global celebrities in the age of Woke, for example championing the cause of slavery reparations in former colonial societies? And in the context of the racism allegations made against Catherine, Princess of Wales - what damage does all this do to the ‘official’ branch of the royal family?

We're thrilled to get an hour to talk with Simon Vigar, one of Britain's most experienced royal correspondents and writers, who is now the Royal Correspondent for 5 News.
Simon has had a ring side seat for all of the great royal dramas of the last two decades, and he brings an unusual level of sympathy and insight to the role. Amongst other things Phil and Andrew ask Simon for his views on the long term impact on Harry of the 'briefing wars' of the early 2000s when very unflattering stories about Diana and other royals were - it is alleged - traded by the Palace for favourable coverage of Charles and Camilla.

Britain’s new Labour government has been shaken by stories of ‘gifted’ suits, penthouse flats and tickets for Taylor Swift concerts. Phil explains why this matters - and what it tells us about the problems of governing in the internet age.
Distinguished historian Simon Heffer then joins Phil to talk about his new book on Britain in the Interwar years, and gives us his very well-informed view about the greatest royal crisis of them all - the abdication of Edward VIII. It’s a fascinating conversation that anyone with an interest in Royal and British history - and the course of the Second World War - will not want to miss.

Britain’s new government is caught in a series of scandals about freebies, cronyism and ‘cash for access’. And now we have allegations surrounding the recent Taylor Swift concerts in London which might - or might not - be responsible for the downfall of a key Downing street aide. Phil wonders whether any of this really matters, and what it tells us about the state of politics today - and the power of scandal!
Then this week’s guest Maureen Callahan joins Phil to reveal some of the jaw-dropping stories in her groundbreaking new book on the Kennedys, Ask Not.
Portraying the men in the Kennedy family as a series of domineering and abusive sexual predators, Maureen brings to life the often terrible experiences of the women in their lives - and tries to give dignity and agency to some of the victims, women like Mary Jo Kopechne and White House intern Mimi Beardsley. She also shares a shattering description of the fate of Rosemary Kennedy.

Few royal biographers have ever had such deep access to their subject as Andrew Morton obtained with Diana, Princess of Wales when preparing his sensational bestseller ‘Diana: Her True Story’. In the years that followed he’s written many other very well-sourced royal books, with a special emphasis on royal women.
In this episode he joins Andrew and Phil to compare and contrast three of the most famous ‘outsiders’ of the last century, and discuss their often challenging relationships with 'Team Windsor'.
You can buy Andrew's books - along with thousand of others - at the Scandal Mongers own bookstore, with all profits shared between independent booksellers and podcasters.

This week Carolyn Harris joins Phil to talk about one of the most extraordinary royal relationships of all time; between the future George IV and his unhappily married wife Caroline of Brunswick.
From a disastrously drunken wedding night, which nevertheless produced a princess, through years of mutual loathing, numerous affairs and illegitimate children (his), rumour of exotic foreign lovers (hers), political intrigues, popular protests and endless satirical cartoons and pamphlets to a final, farcical coronation ceremony in which the Queen of England was locked out of Westminster Abbey by the King’s own guards - this is quite a tale!
We also touch on a much happier royal union that happened just a few years later - that between Victoria and Albert.
Canadian historian Carolyn Harris is a world class expert on all things royal and has made a particular study of consorts - the women, and sometimes men, who marry into royalty and then have to carve out a role for themselves, often in an alien country and culture.
Her books can be found in North America and Canada and some are also available in the UK...

In our final episode of the year - and the 100th edition of the podcast - Helen Fry returns to share some more remarkable stories from the Second World War.
Helen tells Phil of a long secret intelligence operation designed to extract information from enemy soldiers, sailors, pilots - and some of Hitler’s most senior Generals. Many of these men knew that the British were skilled at playing physiological tricks on prisoners of war - but they still fell for many of them, generating some hugely important information at critical times.

Why did Adolf Hitler's deputy and trusted confidante fly alone to an isolated
corner of Scotland at the height of World War Two?
Was it the act of a madman? Was it to conclude a secretly negotiated
peace deal with some of the most senior members of the British
aristocracy and - potentially - the royal family itself? Was
it to help senior conservatives launch a coup against Churchill? Or
was it all the result of a clever British intelligence plot?
Whatever the true reason, Rudolf Hess himself never got to speak it
since for the rest of his life he was kept well away from journalists and writers.
John Harris has spent decades investigating the affair. Here he joins Andrew and Phil to
discuss his latest discoveries and insights.

With so many new revelations concerning the Jeffrey Epstein scandal we begin this episode with Andrew and Phil’s assessment of what it all means for Prince Andrew and his hopes of returning to public life (and what it may also mean for our Andrew’s book on the Prince!)
Top magazine editor and author Tina Brown then joins us from New York to discuss all things royal. Tina has had an incredible career running, amongst other things, Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and Talk. Some of the world’s best reporters have worked for her and she helped create a model for ambitious, high end and beautifully illustrated contemporary writing. Her books on the British royal family are impeccably sourced and packed with insights from real insiders, along with Tina’s own trademark ‘smarts’.
She tells Andrew and Phil where the various feuding factions of the Windsor clan stand in America and the wider world, and where she thinks King Charles is taking the family. And she delivers some typically sharp pen portraits of Andrew, Fergie, William, Kate, Meghan and Harry!
You can buy Tina's books - and many thousands more - at our very own bookstore, which profits shared between podcasters and independent booksellers.

Writer Laura Thompson returns to the podcast, bringing all the insights and cleverness that has made her one of our most popular guests. And this time her subject is 'the heiress', including some of the most celebrated women in high society and literature. In her book 'Heiresses: the Lives of the Million Dollar Babies', Laura tells an incredible story of social change and bad behaviour in high places.
Although celebrated and pursued, the heiress could also be the target of scheming and manipulative men, and could never be sure if she was being admired and loved for herself or for her family's money. Some flourished, some fell apart and many lived lives of the highest drama.

Phil has the latest on the semi-public tug of war over Prince Andrew’s living arrangements. How much longer can he cling on to Royal Lodge?
And why do key figures in the British establishment find it so easy to cling onto power and position for so long, despite the most shocking scandals? The story of the Archbishop of Canterbury this week may help us understand.
Historian Adrian Phillips then joins Phil to talk about the endlessly fascinating subject of Winston Churchill in an entirely original way - through his strange collection of friends.

Britain will soon witness the crowning of King Charles III, with Queen Camilla by his side. It’s an ending to the story of a 50 year on-off-on-again relationship that few would have predicted amid the scandals of the Charles-Diana marriage, and especially after the publication of the notorious ‘Camillagate’ tape in 1992.
So is Camilla a society intriguer, determined to work her way towards the crown at any cost, or is she a woman driven by duty, devoted to a man who clearly needs her and prepared to wait decades for her chance of happiness?
We’re joined by one of Britain’s top royal reporters, Rob Jobson. Rob knows Camilla well and has insider sources so good that he broke the story of her upcoming marriage to Charles in 2005.
Rob’s new book on King Charles is available in April.

The Duke and Duchess of York have been in the public eye for decades. Once widely admired for their freshness and sense of fun (and his record in the Falklands War) their lives became tangled in a series of scandals, both financial and sexual. Today he lives in a form of internal exile, banished from royal duties after settling a court case with Virginia Giuffrie, who alleged she was trafficked to have sex with him. Meanwhile ‘Fergie’, tho divorced from the Prince, remains one of his closest fiends.
Andrew is working on a new joint biography and in this episode he offers a sneak peek into some of the remarkable and controversial things he has been finding out.
From toe-sucking to influence peddling, dodgy arms deals to suspicious house sales... and, of course, Jeffrey Epstein...this is the essential primer on Britain’s most scandalous royal couple.

The Times royal correspondent returns to the podcast for a second interview. This time we’re highlighting the new work he has done for the latest edition of his widely acclaimed book COURTIERS, which first lifted the lid on simmering tensions behind palace walls and gave a voice to staff members who claimed to have been bullied and belittled by the Duchess of Sussex.
What’s the real divide that drives the current feud in the House of Windsor? Could it be a deep personality clash between Kate, now Princess of Wales, and Meghan?
'Recollections may vary', as the late Queen Elizabeth said of the Sussexes Oprah Winfrey interview!

Long before she became one of the most famous women in the world - and the love of a man destined to become a King-Emperor - Wallis Simpson had lived an extraordinary life. Perhaps the most incredible part of it was when she went to live in China as the unhappy wife of a drunken US Navy officer and ended up leaving him and entering a world of hedonism, intrigue (both politics and sexual) and all manner of complex relationships amid the glamour - and dangers - of Shanghai and Peking during the Jazz Age. Rumours of her behaviour in China - notably the infamous ‘Shanghai Grip’ she was alleged to have learned in a high class brothel - would be used against her many years later.
Paul French, an expert in Chinese history, has researched every aspect of Wallis’s time in China and his book, Her Lotus Year, brings that lost world to life - and nails a few myths. It also explains how and why Wallis became the formidable woman that she was.
You can buy Paul's book, and all the books we feature on the podcast here, along with thousands of others in our special Scandal Mongers bookshop...
