The SCANDAL Mongers Podcast

William and Harry’s Summer of (not) Love - with Simon Vigar | Ep.83 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast


Listen Later

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?
