Love Shauna 😊

LOVE your podcast, had a glorious time in london for the coronation, amazing connections with all kinds..get this. met a couple in M&S wearing my 2 bit tiara from claires Oxford street. they invited us to street party the day after celebration-had to wear tiara. . HOLY COW -- swanky street-- ,,, off kings road , BUT best bit is that we tracked down BRYANStON COURT.

Golly gosh ! Would I be horrid and beastly if I asked for the former co presenter of Scandalous Mongers Podcast to give his ' Lownie Treatment ' to this Heffer gem using his gorgeously antiquated language ? Jolly hope so !

Simon gives a fleeting mention to yarns that were hawked around at my state secondary school. Stanley Baldwin compiled a china dossier detailing her ( Wallis ) behaviour in brothels. Hence the Shanghai Squeeze, Baltimore Grip , China Clinch or whatever you want to dub it. As far as history attests, there's little to no evidence.The Baldwin dossier never found.

No notification again! Cant wait to catch up tomorrow.

Regarding your editorial, Phil: I think self interest over the good of a community is one of the dangers of our time. If wealthy and influential folk have agendas that conflict with good domestic/international policies and are given priority by elected officials it can be devastating. I liked Obama as a president, but he was weak in foreign policy and it caused global problems, as did Bush Jr.'s foreign policy mistakes due to his own personal interests. Simon Heffer is a captivating speaker. Great episode, as always.

Every time I listen to Simon Heffer, I’m left with the distinct impression that I’d believe almost anything he says! His depth of expertise is truly remarkable, and his analysis is both insightful and thought-provoking. What an extraordinary mind.

I've watched several readings/reviews of Ask Not and look forward to a foreign and male perspective. I thought I knew most of the mountain of Kennedy dirt, but she unearths quite a lot more. Even to a Kennedy-hater like me, some of it comes off as anti-male: the women often lack agency. But I've also heard predators can sniff out a damaged or victim type; then there are the attractions of great wealth, status, and fame. I'm curious if she hoped to scuttle RFKjr's candidacy or just draft off its publicity.

Fascinating! Goes to show you Royal scandals have a long history! Love the show 🎉

Enjoying your new haircut Phil! ❤

So interesting! I really enjoy this podcast. Where is Andrew? I enjoyed his comments also. Thank you!

Thanks had not heard of Lord Alii before .part of puzzle .

Amazing podcast my all time favourite many interesting subjects. Many thanks guys

Are we conveniently forgetting that Mo Mowlem was the heroine of the Good Friday Agreement and Blair took the credit.

It wasnt an unprecedented health emergency, it was the biggest fraud against humanity.

Watching this four months after posting, Shauna is proved right about Biden and now Harris having nothing to do with Meghan. Her endorsement was ignored when it came, any political ambitions with the Democrats she may have had died when the Obamas dumped them, with Michelle even publicly critisizing Meghan and Harry's attacks on the royal family.

New subbie from Virginia 🇺🇸.

To stay on the Royal theme for a moment,ive always at times been interested of the scandals of the Monaco Royal family . In particular Prince Albert and his illegitimate children now adults that he never acknowledged for many years. The wedding of Albert and Charlene i ll never forget. She looked so miserable and still does at times. 🤔🤔 Another great podcast Phil , thankyou!

So the early mugs have become collectors items!

Everyone bemoans Charles for his long term affair with Camilla but look at all the affairs that Diana had. Diana was not a precious angel, she was a tart.

I was sorry to hear your guest downplay the Duke of Windsor's Nazi connections. Perhaps he should read "The Traitor King" by Andrew Lownie if he's interested in the truth.

Their should be statues up of Wallis Simpson she saved the monarchy

This was good and yes please cover the Kennedy's book I read it, and it was Great!!

Britian should never allow 🇺🇸 to marry into the royal family they mess it up it everything & then blame the family & the press & public for thier own hubris egos

Wallis was a hermaphrodite I highly doubt she had sexually powers . She claimed sex was painful for her . Maybe she gave million dollar blow jobs but I highly doubt she was active sexual prowess that did weird things she " learned" in Shanghai .

Phil will you do a deep deep dive into Fergie her charitys have gone belly up twice that im aware of & missing money !

What a wonderful man Mr Simon Heffer is so full of information GREAT INTERVIEW Phil xx

Thank you!

Good Day Phil, I am enjoying your podcasts and the guest authors' interviews. I'm bedridden with pain, and your podcasts brighten my day. 😊👍👋

Looking forward to next week's podcast, but I've an inkling it could be a heartbreaker. 😢

Thanks god this absorbing interview with Simon Heffer Phil. This royal scandal always captures the imagination, more so than the Sussex, who are mere vulgarians. The difference being Edward was the heir to the throne, whereas Harry grinds his teeth because he isn’t. 👏👏

To be fair, Boris was not in charge at #10. Carrie was. Had Boris stayed with Marina, he may still be the Prime Minister.

Kind of like being raped as a child and then being told to forget because best for family

THANKS Phil! I really like Simon’s books, they’re a great read. The Age of Decadence was amazing! Good Sunday episode, thank you. Oh, and also….. have you come around on the Nutmeg Markle thing yet? I'm holding out faith!!😆

A branded soapbox, ever the entrepreneur Phil.

Everybody is talking about abuse now after slamming the ‘conspiracy nutters’ for years. You’re welcome. Nobody gets an atta boy for al the drama now til someone acknowledges that it starts with the ‘darling royal family’ and their minions, who have been at it for centuries.

There's a wonderful term in the King's Speech, when George arrives at a house party in full swing and he asks his brother, the now King, 'What are you doing?' and Edward answers, 'I'm Kinging' 😂 It shows his indifference, contempt and how flippant he perhaps was very well.

My Goodness….Phil I just signed on and NEVER in my wildest dreams I thought I’d hear my name/comment mentioned. I’m totally tickled…OMG!!!😊😊 God Bless & continued success & ❤❤to both you & Andrew. I miss you together.

It doesn't look good when 2 recipients of free Swift tickets Forse the Met Police to provide VVIP security, paid for by the tax payer, when they had assessed the threat and rejected it.

Thanks

Boris was popular because he had proved himself a brilliant London MAYOR, (does anyone remember when London was a vibrant safe city) in which we hosted the Olympics and a royal wedding. Khan is just a self serving, money grabbing, bone idle moron, just like Starmer, they are cut from the same cloth. Ideas for future shows. Maureen Callahan on her book "Ask not: The Kennedys and the Women they Destroyed". I am reading it at the moment and it is brilliant. I never liked the Kennedys from what I heard but could never understand why the American public adored them. The men were male chauvinist pigs at best and rapists and abusers at worst. Another good scandal to look at would be why Starmer did not Prosecute Fayed, or more to the point in light of recent events, how much was he paid to make it go away.

U two fixed my headache. Soothed the savage beast. A good,interesting, civilised discussion. Thanks❤

Great Episode!❤

Come on, Craig. Everybody knows the chemical attack in Syria was an American false flag. The BBC were even caught red-handed faking video coverage of the aftermath. You lose all credibility parroting NATO's propaganda, lies and nonsense :(

❤🎉😊

Thank you for yet another great podcast. I appreciated the soapbox rant, which sadly reminds me of Orwell, 4 legs good, 2 legs better. That lot never feel that they are accountable and that they too are where they are by consent. Speaking of which I'm glad that for once the focus was on George V's sense of duty rather than his short temper. And I agree that Heffer is great to listen to; measured in both his delivery and choice of words.

Total agree with you. That Harry had an horrible time after Diane’s dead. And that he do not like Camilla and his father total understand. But to put you family up the rubbish belt so openly, is disgusting. And no excuse. And then what has William done he suffered the same way maybe more.

Thanks

Ali also donated a lot to Stonewall, the Transgender organization, won an award from them.
