Few royal writers merit the description ‘insider’ as much as much as the super well connected Lady Colin Campbell.

Moving through aristocratic and upper-class circles, she has been attuned to whispers of scandal for decades. One of the first writers - perhaps THE first - to reveal the true state of the Charles-Diana marriage, she has gone on to write numerous outspoken, controversial but also wildly entertaining books.

And she’s at her indiscreet best with Andrew and Phil.

This episode also contains a new element of the Scandal Mongers format - an interview with a listener. Royal expert Julie Koenig joins us from Ohio to discuss the stories that fascinate her.

Lady Colin Campbell’s books can be bought at the Scandal Mongers Bookshop - along with thousands more. All profits are shared between independent booksellers and podcasters.
