In the two hundred and thirty eighth episode Lady Colin Campbell discusses the truth behind the BBC TV hit series, A Very British Scandal, which dramatised the disintegration of the marriage and the divorce of her father-in-law Ian Campbell, the 11th Duke of Argyll, and his third wife, the much-celebrated heiress-beauty Margaret, Duchess of Argyll; how the BBC's inattention to detail and contempt for the truth and accuracy resulted in a sloppy, downmarket version of what could easily have been a truly upmarket product; how their characterisation of the duchess failed miserably to achieve the heights of style, taste, discernment and chic for which she was known internationally; how the duke destroyed her reputation and turned her from one of the greatest style icons of the twentieth century into a reviled notoriety; reveals his motivation, which was entirely financial; discusses his drink and drug problems as well as his propensity for exercising his fists upon his wives; how the BBC traduced Margaret unfairly, portraying her as the instigator of the conspiracy to strip his two sons of legitimacy when in fact the duke himself was the architect of the whole scheme; how the duke believed that one of his sons' natural father was the last Tsar's nephew Prince Dimitri of Russia; how the BBC got both the substance and the details of the most notorious divorce in 20th century Britain wrong; how they could easily have got to the truth, had they wished to do so; what the truth actually was; how the duke hoped to get his hands on his father-in-law's vast fortune, firstly via his duchess and, when that failed, tried to do so through his father-in-law's wife; how he married a woman he called The Bet and used to joke about her paternity; and why Lady C found the whole series personally distressing and a wasted opportunity to redeem the reputation of a beloved stepmother-in-law who was destroyed by the Machiavellian financial schemes of her greedy, sociopathic father-in-law.

I did manage to work out the family relationships. I had not put 2 and 2 together and had not worked out that Lady C was married to the Duke's son (for a very brief period).

Dear Lady C, thank you for your interesting commentary on the BBC programme "A very British scandal". Alas, it seems the Corporation can no longer make authentic period dramas; Claire Foy was more air hostess than society hostess. Furthermore, it seems they now feel able to play fast and loose with the lives of people who are still alive (or whose children/grandchildren are still alive). For all their "woke" posturing about "sexism", the BBC were just as happy as her odious husband to make money out of trashing Margaret Argyll's reputation. Best regards Louise

From what I have read, she was very beautiful but I felt he really only wanted her for her father’s money.

Catherine The Great will be a perfect and wise Queen. 👑 One time when the public came to see the Royals in the street, a little girl asked Catherine if she is a Princess.

I have not seen this particular one but from your description I see that it conforms to their usual low standards. I was not overly impressed with Helen Mirren's 'The Queen' either-- some of the dialogue was straight out of the worst biographies and actually made me cringe because the lines were so shopworn.

There is a series here on KZbin about various Scottish clans. Two of them I remember well. One was the Fraser clan. I believe it was the Highland Frasers who have historically been known as superb fighting men, and the Queen's favorites in this regard. The other clan whose story stuck out was the Campbells. I've known a Campbell or two, and settled in to hear some heartwarming tale of all their good deeds. HA! More fool me! The Campbells have long, long, loooong been known as the worst of scoundrels. Lady C has given those Campbells elegance and dignity they do not deserve. I've got to find that series and give it another watch, and I warmly recommend it to one and all. Just wish I remembered the title.

[@edennis8578]

The Scottish side of my family are Campbells. I'm not proud of it. They turned against their fellow Scots to act on behalf of the English in oppressing and repressing them, especially in the 1600s and 1700s. The Campbells pretty much stopped at nothing in treachery. I'm an American, so I only found out about this as a teenager. I was crushed.

@@edennis8578 The Campbells as you are probably aware committed a massacre of the MacDonald men, women and children in GlenCoe.

Dear Lady C, thank you for your amazing history lessons! You are like an encyclopedia! I love to listen to your information, and, to find out what really happened! I wish you would publish a book on how one's titles should be written, spoken, etc. It is hard to find correct information anywhere! Also, it amazes me the BBC did not know the difference between a Duchy and a Dukedom. It is simply incredible how much information you have stored in your head, and, therefore at your fingertips, so to speak. However, the BBC cannot even pay someone to ensure the titles, references to titles and the like, are correct. Downtown Abbey (the show) had its own historian and royal etiquette expert, and, the costumer and set decorators even sourced period pieces, clothing, etc., and, when none was available, had buttons fabricated to match those which would have been worn on the clothing of the day. One would think the BBC would take a page out of Julian Fellowes book, especially since there was one published with that very information! (The World of Downton Abbey by Jessica Fellowes, the niece of Lord Fellowes.) Please keep giving us historical and other other information, Lady C! You are a treasure, and, I look forward to your vlogs! Much love to you and Mickey. May God grant you a happy and healthy New Year!

[@lepolhart3242]

@@gigiray7413 that's all they did get right. It doesn't take an einstein to work out. For example the servants are always spotlessly clean from the scullery maid to the cook. The reality was some servants would have been filfthy from their job as they worked extremely hard. They had very little free time working 18 hour days. They were not allowed to have casual conversations with their employers as they only spoke when spoken to. It's all written down in etiquette books at the time. They were expected to give their employers "room" if they were going about their duties and a member of the family seen them in a corridor. The servant would hide behind a curtain or door or they would have to face the wall and pretend they weren't there. When Anna the house maid gives an opinion to Lady Mary in one episode it could have gotten her fired in reality as it wasn't allowed. There are many stories of employers treating servants badly but the servants couldn't do much about it. History has been whitewashed. Some employers were better than others and that's it.

Thankyou, quite fascinating and yes, I had read poor reviews of the series. Also thanks for reminding others of the correct use of “me” and “I”, as I am fed up hearing the error so extensively.

[@harriettemacy7399]

Lady C. These are my very favorite of your talks. I love learning and I love you for bringing forth all of this history and most of all with such candor, humor and personal experience. OXO

[@leslieparker8584]

Lady C, you're a masterful raconteur w/ colorful & skillful delivery. No one can tell stories better than you. Your intelligence, vocabulary, memory & keen observations make videos like this infinitely interesting (& much better than TV). Luv U. 💐💕

[@gabrielagaytan6575]

Thank you Lady C, always giving the right side side of the story with fairness and truth, is something to be appreciated. Have a nice day!

[@lorrifrench4460]

I was so Happy to see you had a new video . Thank you for sharing the truth surrounding the scandal , and how they set up Margaret. I am American & I learned not to trust the BBC . God bless you too Lady C.

Hi Lady C it's nice to hear about other history rather than the royals now and then stay safe and well and love to Mickey🇬🇧

[@ruthlundy4497]

Fascinating today Lady C thank you for delving into setting the record straight and raining on the sensationalism and untruths . You look lovely today by the way blessings to you and Mickey

[@Dawn-vy2bj]

Thank you Lady C. Please can you write a book on this. It is thoroughly gripping

[@suzannedrury6975]

Dear Lady C, What a wonderfully detailed and cogent history lesson regarding Margaret, Duchess of Argyll...especially from someone who actually knew her. Thank you.

[@stone-k6r]

Lady c, you are an amazing person, I wish I had a friend like you. Thank you..

[@jillal-fuhaid1763]

Fascinating Lady C . You are on the way to being a part of history. You saw it & lived it.

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Boy, what a convoluted mess! Quite interesting and so good of you to set the record straight.

[@manusha1349]

How perfectly delightful to listen to an interesting narrative from someone directly involved ❤ thank you for sharing, Lady Campbell

[@rinagraham8851]

Thank-you for bringing out the true story Lady C....Now I know the true meaning to the saying .. He's as black as a Campbells heart!

[@krizmsf]

And Mickey snoring 🥰😍🤩 🐾🐾. Thank you Lady C. Happy New Year. Love from Portugal

[@1144abbsug]

Fascinating! Many movies, tv shows, etc., get away with thoroughly muddying the waters. We need many Lady Campbells to straighten things out.

[@michelefritze3988]

Lady C. Thank you so much for your truthful and fascinating presentation of this story. I love history and you make it so alive with details no-one else could know. Bless you.

[@meb8582]

Wow! What an interesting story! Have not watched the BBC production (dont watch BBC on principal). Also, what a fabulous change from the harkles!

[@Flufficat]

Fascinating and so wonderfully recounted.

[@laurahastings-brownstein1481]

Thank you, lovely Lady C. for sharing your experiences with us. I am grateful to know the truth behind these "docudrama" put out by the BBC and others. One of the others put out by the BBC, "The Crown" has been so appalling that I no longer can tolerate watching it! I am of course, not an insider like you, but I have read enough books (including ALL of yours) about the Royal Family and others that are related to them, to know that 90% of the context of that particular docudrama is, as you say, rubbish! Thank you for setting things straight!

[@LotusLady9]

Good morning Lady C and Mickey. Love your scarf; looking elegant as always. Thank you for sharing your personal perspective. Always appreciate you sharing your knowledge of history👑 You looked lovely in the photo.

[@lesleymcshanemitchell9651]

How it must rile Lady C''s Ex Husband That she'd bought a Castle on her Own and Renovated it to perfection Well done Lady C Truly a Woman of Courage and Recourcefullness KUDOS

[@allisonnavarro9111]

They never get it right.

[@brittanydumoulinful]

I especially adore your ending..One Good woman/mother who changed the course of history and breaking generational curses for a lack of a better term. Much love Lady C Thanks for sharing your story.

[@emmessp5737]

Fascinating video ~ thanks Lady C.! 💕

[@margaretcollins9382]

Finally broke down and watched the program. Not a surprise. It was a heartbreaking tale. That woman was shamefully abused.

[@joyciejd9673]

What a looker then and now!

[@_gregc]

Thank you! This is great. ‘Story time with Lady C’ should become a regular installment on the channel!

[@lacarlotta6290]

Lady C, I’m sure this is unpleasant for you to endure, but you show such fortitude and dignity, you are an inspiration!

[@chriscarson7384]

Very interesting topic, Lady C. May Margaret rest in peace.
