More Rosebud - Royal Special

This is a one-off episode, in which Gyles and Harriet discuss the British royal family and their future, in light of the recent scandal surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his arrest last week. Gyles has known and been involved with the family for many years, since he first met the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Phillip, when they both worked for the charity Fields in Trust. In this conversation, Gyles talks about the late Queen and Prince Phillip, and what they were like as parents. He talks about the Queen's close relationship with Andrew, and about the lengths to which she went to stand by him. Gyles gives us his views on the future of the monarchy, and whether or not this serious setback has affected his own loyalty to The Firm. Don't worry, if you're not a fan of royal news, normal Rosebud service will resume on Friday! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
