  • Résumé

  • In this episode we pause the continuity of the crisis to take a look at how the events of 1936 affected members of the Royal family.
    Despite it having huge repercussions on their lives, Britain's premier pedigree were not major players in the crisis (apart from the King, of course). However, this is a ROYAL history podcast so we wanted to take a moment to look at events from the family's vantage point.

    In this episode, RHG founder Gareth Streeter and Royal commentator James Taylor discuss:

    • Queen Mary, her background and reaction to the crisis
    • The Duke and Duchess of York's fears as they prepare to assume power
    • The beginnings of the Duchess of York's (later Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother) feud with Wallis Simpson
    • The closeness between Edward VIII and Princess Mary, the Princess Royal
    • The wayward Duke of Kent and how some thought he should be King
    • The cool relationship between Henry, Duke of Gloucester and his eldest brother

    This episode also features comments by Elizabeth Basford, author of "Princess Mary: The First Modern Princess."
