Queens, Princesses, Duchesses and Mistresses - with Lady Colin Campbell EP. 38 | The Scandal Mongers

[@Liverpool1957]

A newbie here love Lady C, her command of English and current affairs is amazing.

Welcome Christina!

Lady C is absolutely fascinating because she has all the inside info, and her knowledge of Royal history is second to none. 👍

Beware of having your perceptions manipulated. Like the readers of the Daily Bile, Dunn and The Suppress. Trouble is we all love a bit of,gossip, this woman is the biggest gossip,of them all.

Lady Colin Campbell is endlessly fascinating. I could listen to her talk on any subject for as long as she would do so. I always believe her, she is very honest and forthright and never says "too much." She also speaks impeccable English. She would have made a superb judge. I enjoyed this video very much and thank you. Cheers from 5,500 miles to your west. PS: Lady C would have made one hell of a Queen.

I can imagine her as a Judge saying ‘and may god have mercy on your soul!’

Many people including Lady C have debunked William’s affairs rumours. Even the original mischievous person has admitted it was a joke.

[@philmcraig]

True - it was Giles Coren

[@valerieackroyd]

I dont think William is so stupid .He is definitely not having an affair .

[@judithmorganjudyteen]

Giles Coren admitted that he started the rumour.

[@michelleb3698]

I suspect the media would be all over it if they thought there had been an affair. Just look at how the MSM amplified online conspiracies to pressure Catherine to disclose her diagnosis. They must have discovered her condition was more serious than a recovering from surgery.

Lady Colin had made herself immortal with her book abot M. and H. I know a few german relations of the BRF- and they are full of praise for her. Her KZbin Show is a jewel. Even if you are share not always her opinion you must think about what she is saying. HMTK should listen to her.

[@linrob1312]

William and Catherine are the real deal. He is such a good man..in direct contrast to the ginger bully. He has a wonderful family and don't think for one moment he isnt 100 percent loyal to his beautiful wife and his kids.The Middletons a close loving family were great for Will. They never sold stories and were a haven for him.. thats what he's determined to have with his kids. A close knit loving stable home. I admire them both for while respecting their roles , are putting their kids first too.😊😊😊😊

[@janwhite6038]

Why weren't the Middletons bailed out, by Willian, from the financial disaster that was Party Pieces? Surely he could have crowd funded payment for the wedding cake, even if he's not cash rich?

Julie Koenig is a delightful modern-day Sandy Duncan. Please have her on again 😊

[@valerieackroyd]

I remember reading Lady C’s book on Diana before the Andrew Morton book and everyone was saying “oh it’s not possibly true” and then voila along came Morton and it was suddenly true. I think Lady C has now become a bit of a Sunset Boulevard type but loads of people now hang on her every word. It was interesting to hear who her sources were, wonder who they are now.

[@randallcosta74]

Just happened upon your podcast today. Saw you speaking with the lovely lady from Ohio. I doubt that there was an affair between William and Rose. Catherine 's sister would not have named her daughter Rose if there was any truth to the rumor. 5he Middleton children are very close. Pippa wouldn't have named her daughter Rose to be a constant reminder if there had been an affair.

[@philmcraig]

Welcome! And yes I’m sure you’re right about William

[@smileyzed3843]

Such a good point

[@valerieackroyd]

To say nothing of the fact that Prince Charles chose one of Rose's sons as a page at the Coronation and there were videos of him and George sharing a laugh on the balcony. Let's stay with innocence unless there's a direct accusation to answer for ;)

[@janwhite6038]

Maybe Pippa was paying homage, maybe she was buying in to guarantee she was taken down

Roses kids were accepted as Fitz-William and played with Wicked Willy's kids. Keep it in the family.

And if you dare say diana wasn't a virgin bride and she had the first affair, was a manipulator, Camilla wasn't the cause of the breakdown of the marriage you get shouted down as not knowing anything, people want to believe in the fairy tale diana the shy virgin who was forced to marry this old prince who never gave up his bit on the side, that Charles and camilla are fornicators adulterers and he shouldn't be king.... it's very sad the guilded story of poor Di persists and puts a black cloud over this king and his queen.

Andrew is an AI enabled android. True fact! 😊

[@janeyre49]

Catherine and William both are just calm adults who mentored with the Queen and listened and learned. I am a bit dismayed how quickly Americans love gossip and seem to prefer it than the actual truth. We are rogues.

[@philmcraig]

Rogues is probably why the war of independence happened. We’re all huge America fans here!!

[@valerieackroyd]

I would argue that it’s the British tabloids that have pushed the gossip and the American media have simply picked it up. As America isn’t as invested in the Royals’ role in constitutional monarchy, it’s the gossip they prick up their ears at.

Hello from Dallas. Love Lady C

[@philmcraig]

Hello back from London!

[@teacup.demitasse]

Oh yes Andrew, I very much agree with you on the 'bad blood' from the Hanoverians and Bowes-Lyons, and now we have the Spencers in the mix? God help them. I remember when Diana was introduced as Charles' fiancee, I was only a girl then and admittedly I got caught up in the fanfare of a "fairy tale." But it would seem the Prince & Princess of Wales today have been the living embodiment. William choosing Catherine as his wife is probably the smartest decision he could ever make and just watching them together on engagements you see how they mirror one another and are in such sync. I'm an American and outside a small but noisy contingent in the twitter sphere we don't hear murmurings about William (poss) having affairs, certainly nothing like it was during his parents' marriage but who knows? It would be a big disappointment if it's true. As much as I love & adore Catherine I think my favorite royal is Princess Charlotte. That girl has spirit and seems to be molded in the vein of a Philip & Anne but then throw in the late queen and Diana ntm her mother Catherine and you have all the ingredients for a tremendous powerhouse. Mark my words, that girl is going to be one to watch for the ages.

[@philmcraig]

Quite agree!

[@partlycloudy3519]

William has never been unfaithful to Catherine in thier marriage . I cant speak on the short time while dating they broke up for a couple of months but he never cheated on her while enfaged or married . Notice there was never a rumor until Meghan came into the family ? Rose Handbury is married & had 3 kids & a hansome extremely wealthy husband . She threatned to sue Stephen Colbert of defamation & he took back his joke . William & Catherine are a wonderful couple who love eacother & will be married to rest of thier lives

To answer this Lady's question about the division of profession and family. It would be very difficult to 'Separate the Firm from the Family' when that Firm is constructed around and about the Family. The Royal Famiy is the Business.

American here- my favorite Royal is Catherine. She seems unpretentious and genuine. I think William cheating are all rumors started by Giles and pushed thru by Meghan’s PR people. I wld like for you to look into this so that you don’t continue to push out ideas of possibility/ questioning of Will cheating

[@TickInHeels]

Giles has said that he heard the “cheat” rumor about william and Rose from MM and from there thats how it started. Do i believe it camed from MM?, yes, because she is envious of PC.. you can see in some pictures or videos how MM looks at PC with hatred and when she looks at PW she’s gazing at him with love looks

I would be very surprised if Prince William was having affairs. When on earth would he have any time?! He's taking care of his wife, he's being a great dad to his kids. He's trying to be a good son as well and he's doing a great job being a working Royal. So, nonsense about having affairs.

A comment on having guests from across the pond, such as the woman (sorry, I can’t remember her name) from Ohio. I think it’s a great idea to see just how people in other countries, who have had links in the past with Britain or currently have links, view the Royal Family based on what they read or hear-or what they have experienced themselves. Your guest today was actually an emigree from the UK so she does have some skin (and more) in the game-she actually braved the crowds for the Coronation! And she gives “talks” about the RF to people in Ohio which kind of boggles my mind. I can’t imagine myself, as a Canadian who lived in the UK, who follows the RF quite avidly, giving talks here in rural Arizona. They are more interested in US issues and, truth be told, aren’t even sure who Harry and Meghan are. And don’t care. I look at the tabloids weekly as I stand in the grocery line and H & M are rarely in the headlines although Kate certainly is-and usually in a positive light. Even back in Canada, I am the only one of my circle, which includes New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and BC who is interested in the RF or the Montecito duo. They all roll their eyes if I say anything so I keep my “hobby” to myself and do my following quite privately. Anyway, if you can find some folk from New York City or, especially, LA (please not Kinsey Schofield though-a private person, whose Royal following is private) to chat with I think you’d get a much better idea of the true extent of Royal interest in the US :)

32:09 I really don't know what she means by saying that Peter Morgan (of whom I am not a fan) is the son-in-law of Prince Schwarzenberg, and that this is somehow meaningful.

Please understand this, Prince William did NOT have an affair with Rose Hanbury or anyone else. This was a malicious rumor cooked up by a inebriated reporter thinking it was be funny. Well it is not funny and just shows the malicious and narcissistic behavior of Meghan and Harry and those they run with. And just to support what I’m saying, princess, Catherine’s sister, name to recent baby girl, “Rose“. What sister would name her newborn child the same name of her brother-in-law‘s mistress? It’s ludacris in the extreme, but their family would never do something this sadistic.

Notice how she does not answer the question. Why did she fall out with Diana!!! Diana did not like her.

[@marypartridge5154]

Yes I thought Diana was a super star but women were so jealous of her and nasty about her. I resent Lady C who has done nothing but defaming her. Diana was a young women and she married a man who was still smitten with another woman. Thus aggravated her child hood trauma when her mother. Then her father left her for her step mother. She had fear of rejection and fear of being abandoned. Lady C is implying she was some kind of a slut. I mean Lady C if you hear her story and her feud with Colin Campbell. She is nothing more than a pretentious poseur how dare she discredit Diana. Let's face it they used her as a breeding cow.

[@honestea1828]

Lady C is generallu for when it comes to Diana. "Fear or rejection and abandonment" underscore BPD which drove her actions before, during and after the RF and was promiscuous (including with married). This is documented.

Diana could not manipulate lady C so she didn't like her.

Meh. Lady C is lovely, but i question some of her opinions. Diana was 19 years old when she married Charles. 19. Let that sink in. She was the daughter of an Earl, with a deeper familial pedigree than Charles, arguably. Some of Lady C´s shade is spiteful. She is a dichotomy, has much wisdom and attractiveness, but also can be a beeyotch about Diana. Cést la vie.

[@philmcraig]

My own research made me think Diana was more knowing about life and also about Camilla than it later suited her to say! Having said that I’m a huge fan

[@moonbaby104]

Couldn't agree with you more. I read an article years ago that Colin Campbell was the best friend of Barbara Cartland the writer. Cartlands daughter rain married Diana's father. Rain sounded very much like the evil stepmother I had, taking over everything in our family's life including the money. Not a nice woman. It sounds to me like there's resentment between Colin Campbell and Lady Diana because of her friendship with Cartland. I stopped watching her show when she constantly spewed trash about Princess Diana whenever her name popped up. Some people just can't have respect for the Dead!!

[@d.annejohnson5631]

Of course speaking ill of the dead is unfair. Yet we need honest historical analysis and discussion now more than ever. Alas if people lead very public and especially controversial lives they will inevitably be analyzed and discussed after their death. That is how we all learn from the behavior, and misbehavior of past generations.

[@honestea1828]

She doesn't talk about anything that Di didn't do or was not discussed during Di's life.

[@LynneHancox]

Telling the way something is, and because it bursts the bubble and doesn't conform to how strangers perceived the personna presented to the hoards doesn't make lady C wrong.

​@@moonbaby104 It was Raine who saved the Spencer hierarchy, they were all but broke, it was Raines money that put the spencers back into the black. Diana didn't like her, saw her as the wicked step mother, pushed her down a flight of stairs, but funnily enough as diana grew from immature to mature, she and Raine became good friends.

She wasn't a teenager, she was 20 when she married. She lived the life of a Sloan Ranger in a flat full of single girls who spent their time out clubbing, and dancing, and palace life was not how she'd expected it to be... sounds similar to another person associated with harry.

[@rosemarymurlis-hellings8138]

Total BS. Try reading something other than womens magazines.

[@Pleaseleave-b1j]

Sorry Diana really loved Charles She was heartbroken about Camilla Camilla is very happy now Do yo think when Camilla dies anyone will care? Do you think the public will mourn for days? No they will not

[@philmcraig]

I’d agree that she was v unhappy just before the wedding and during the honeymoon that C and C were still clearly ‘in touch’ and was also angry about it later. I’d also say that there were periods when she sorta kinda accepted an ‘arrangement’ Life is messy, especially hers!!

[@honestea1828]

​@@philmcraigRead her letters from the honeymoon. The exact opposite of her 1990s hitjob narrative.. C&C were not in touch in the early years of the marriage. Lady C is quite correct that Di switched her sorry and often contradicted herself in the process.

[@honestea1828]

Di loved the idea of love and Royalty. She did not like him enough to get treatment and not stray. And you don't speak for 'everyone' regarding Camilla.

[@LynneHancox]

​@@philmcraigo It's well documented Charles and camilla didn't get back together until 1986, by then diana was on her THIRD affair, Henry herbert 17th earl of pembroke was first (1983/4) then Barry manakee (1984 till caught out) James hewitt followed manakee.

[@rosemarymurlis-hellings8138]

Diana thought Charles was having an affair with Tiggy ( he wasn't) she accosted her at a New Year's party and publicly embarrassed her. The Queen ordered her to apologise and she had to pay compensation for slandering her. As to Camilla, I like her.

[@linzjan4276]

I find Lady Colin Campbell insufferable, she name drops all her contacts and connections, clearly loathed Diana and as such does not provide a balanced point of view. I do not get why she attacks her for extra marital relationships, she was a young woman out of her depth with trying to negotiate her way thru a marriage, with a husband didn’t love her, cared more for a mistress, just heard the Barbara Cartland reference - more name dropping. I actually refuse to listen to her go on and on, and I am sure that won’t concern her. I did not enjoy this episode of your podcast cast balanced factual reporting, as has been given in previous episodes, which I have enjoyed but this one is none thing better than gossip.

[@rosemarymurlis-hellings8138]

Why shouldn't she talk about her friends? Her friends and acquaintances give her a great deal of tips and information. Barbara Cartland gave her 50 pages of notes about Diana. Diana was Barbara's step granddaughter. Lady C has actual experience of Diana and worked with her on a book.

I was about to subscribe, you give a nice presentation, however your lack of knowledge about the Bowes-Lyon family has turned me off. The genetic anomaly that produced two or three mentally deficient cousins of QE, Queen Mother, is not traced to a Bowes-Lyon, but to the wife married to a Bowes-Lyon. Thus not in the Bowes-Lyon blood line.

What an interesting comment, l think the children who were deserted in an asylum is a scandal, but don't let it prevent you from subscribing to Scandal Mongers. We don't all agree on every programme but if you fail to subscribe you only prevent yourself from the many, many revelations which you'll enjoy. I too have had moments of disagreement but the overall series is an endless source of sandals of which l've been previously unaware. Pleaae press the button, subscribe please, your alternative views, aired in current and future comments, will l'm sure be welcomed by Andrew and Phil.

This is one I won't be listening to. She is too emotional and toxic. Her hate campaign against Harry and Meghan makes me cringe. Actual facts are not something she subscribes to.

[@patsyfagen1188]

Lady C a bit irritating

[@stevebeimler2579]

Lady C is thee only (sorry) gossip and true Shakespearean like insight into upper class shenanigans I truly enjoy! Most gossip is shallow - a lot of blah-blah that comes into one ear and out the other - yawn 🥱

[@philmcraig]

We agree!
