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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
You can buy Laura's book, and all the books we feature on the podcast here, along with thousands of others in our special Scandal Mongers bookshop...

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.

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...

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!
You can now buy Valentine’s book in the Scandal Mongers own online book store, which shares profits between independent bookshops and other podcasters.

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.

Mok O'Keefe - aka 'The Gay Aristo' - returns to the podcast this week as a guest host. Mok - who lives in an actual castle - is a great fan of all things Gothic and so he's the perfect person to help Phil explore the scandalous life of Lord Byron and his circle of friends, and the creation of classic gothic tales during a memorable summer in a small villa near Lake Geneva.
It was here that Bryon, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley and other staged a writing competition that created Frankenstein and the first modern Vampire novel.
Romani academic Madeline Potter is fascinated with the writers of this period and brings her expert knowledge - and enthusiasm for all things Transylvanian - to the conversation.

Team Sussex has pulled off its first overseas tour with a super high profile visit to Nigeria, where Harry attended numerous events linked to the Invictus games and Meghan met with business and media leaders, hosted female entrepreneurs and generally looked and behaved like a Princess on the road!
Is this a model for what 'non royal royalty’ looks like for the future - a refreshing multi racial alternative to the old fashioned, and all white, House of Windsor? Or is it a cynical marketing exercise for a couple battered by a year of falling ratings amid widespread criticism for producing boring podcasts and selling second rate jam?
We’re joined once again by Simon Vigar, royal correspondent for Five News and a veteran of many royal tours. The Nigeria trip generated some great headlines and photos in the USA, so does that make it a success? Then our friend Dai Davies, former head of royal security, comes back to the pod with a very different perspective. Dai is very critical of the security background to the trip - and not at all sure that it was morally justifiable either.

This week writer Anne de Courcy joins Andrew and Phil to discuss her extraordinary biography of Lord Snowdon, Antony Armstrong Jones, who was married to Princess Margaret for 18 tumultuous years.
A gifted photographer, designer and charity entrepreneur, Lord Snowdon was also a notorious womaniser before, after and during his marriage. His relationship with Margaret veered between affection and bitter recrimination, even cruelty, whilst he cut a dashing swathe through British high society, charming his way out of numerous perilous social and sexual intrigues.
Anne’s ’semi authorised' biography of Snowdon exposed many new secrets and received huge acclaim. One reviewer said 'The amorous Snowdon was remarkably helpful for this life; the result is jaw-droppingly revealing.
You can buy Anne's books at the Scandal Monger’s own bookstore, along with thousands of others. All profits are shared between independent booksellers and podcasters.

When BBC reporter Rory Cellan Jones uncovered a pile of old love letters under his mother Sylvia's bed after she died, he unearthed the secret story of his own life.
The result was a bestselling book of real power and intelligence, in which he reconstructs the scandalous relationship that created him - but that also limited his mother’s life choices and ensured that he would not know who his father was for many years.
Rory joins Phil to talk about his life, his mother and father, and the lost world of the 1950s and 60s - where smart young women could sometimes forge exciting careers but society looked very unkindly at love affairs that crossed age and class barriers.
You can buy Rory's book - and thousands of others - in our own online bookstore...

It seems likely that the Presidential election of 2024 will be a re-run of 2020.
Donald Trump faces multiple court cases and could, potentially, run for the most powerful office in the world whilst being a convicted felon.
Joe Biden is facing his own growing scandal, with political and legal investigations into his son Hunter gathering pace amid attempts by the President's opponents to link him to Hunter’s numerous misbehaviours.
How did America end up with such a scandal-rich slate of candidates, and how will their respective troubles affect the upcoming election?
The Times Washington correspondent, Alistair Dawber, studies the ins and outs of American politics for a living whilst striving to keen an objective perspective on both parties. This week he joins Andrew and Phil to deliver his analysis and predictions for the turbulent months ahead.

Our friend Gerald Posner returns to the podcast this week to discuss the recent attempt to kill former President Donald Trump. As the author of the definitive book on the JFK assassination - Case Closed - and many other books and articles on political violence in the USA, Gerald knows a huge amount about how Presidents are meant to be protected, and the conspiracy theories that soon spread when they are not. So what does he think really happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, and how will it affect the Presidential race?
Before that Phil reports on the latest American allegations about Prince Philip’s sex life. Was he in some way linked to the Profumo affair, which we explored in episode 15? And does it matter if the husband of Queen Elizabeth II had love affairs anyway, and why should we care?

In our first episode Andrew raised shocking sexual abuse allegations about Lord Louis Mountbattten - one of the most famous and most powerful royal celebrities of all time. This week Andrew and Phil reveal new evidence from named witnesses about Mountbatten. They also explore the famously ‘open marriage’ he enjoyed with his wife Edwina.
Shining a light on the sexual politics (and many hypocrisies) of that age, they ask if the Mountbatten’s notorious bed hopping may have played a role in huge events of state such as the partition of India.
You can buy Andrew’s bestselling book on the Mountbattens - and thousands of others - in our Scandal Mongers bookshop and help support us and a range of small, independent, profit-sharing booksellers in the UK...

This week we dip into the remarkable - and often scandalous - world of military intelligence with historian Helen Fry.
Her widely acclaimed new book Women in Intelligence reveals a huge number of fascinating stories of the critical - and often deadly - work done by British and American women throughout the 20th Century. Some of these stories - and these brave womens’ lives - have been kept deeply secret until the last few years.
You can buy Helen's book, and all the books we feature on the podcast here, along with thousands of others

Forever remembered as the smart and stylish First Lady to President John F Kennedy, whose shocking death in Dallas she witnessed first hand, Jackie Kennedy is an enduring icon of the 20th Century. But much about her turbulent life in the public gaze - before, during and after her marriage to Kennedy - has remained a closely guarded secret.
One of the world’s most successful biographers, J Randy Taraborrelli, has been working on a book about Jackie for thirty years, conducting hundreds of interviews with her friends, her family and her lovers. His best selling ‘Jackie, Public, Private, Secret' came out earlier this year. Reviewers have queued up to praise its blend of revelation and respect.
J Randy joins Andrew and Phil to share his insights, reveal his methods and deliver a masterclass in the art of the biography.
You can buy the book - along with thousand of others - at the Scandal Mongers own bookstore, with all profits shared between independent booksellers and podcasters.
