I’m Irish, and about 20 years ago whilst on holidays in co mayo, we ended up at a lock in until the very early hours. An old man in the pub that I had been talking to, told me that it was a known fact that Mountbatten had been targeted due to his abuse of young boys in the area. He had been expected to go out on his boat alone that morning, and unfortunately others were murdered and seriously injured that day.

Wonderful interview, Andrew is a real hero when it comes to printing the truth. I have read all his books and they are terrific. I hope his book on Prince Phillip touches on what he and the Queen knew about Mountbatten and his activities and why they let him have such influence over Charles.

They were cousins after all and if wasn't for him she couldn't have married philip. Philip got annoyed and irritated with mountbatten for his constant Interference in philip and his family's personal life and professional life. Philip was free spirited independent man and didn't like was some one told him what to do, on the other hand Queen has been told by others her whole life what to do and Queen didn't mind mountbatten's interference because he was also close to her father king George VI and all her uncles and aunt.

Ай бұрын

It certainly makes a difference when the interviewer has read the book prior to the interview! It adds another level of depth.

Fascinating discussion. I had to go off and learn about Kincora and listen to some very tragic accounts, so that leads me to understand Mountbatten's white-knuckled, guarded history. Also, there are probably remnants of Cold War secrets that even now justify info blackouts. Lownie is both loved and hated, it's clear why. He keeps digging up things that people want buried forever!

Brilliant interview with Andrew Lownie, both of them! I struggled to finish his Mountbatten book, just because with every page I disliked both Dickie and Edwina more and more. Eagerly awaiting his Prince Andrew book. Fingers crossed he writes a book on the late Prince Philip. I don’t think anyone believes the line that Philip spun to Gyles Brandreth, about how he couldn’t have had an affair because he always had security with him - except Gyles Brandreth. Since when did having security ever stop any royal from having an affair?! And Philip’s relationship to both his parents, and their impact on him, has never been deeply or fully explored either imho. Everyone knows the story details, but how their lives affected him psychologically always gets shrugged off. I do hope Andrew Lownie does a deep dive into the late Duke of Edinburgh.

And how Prince Philip completely dismissed her, saying the Mountbattens had managed it, and so could she! (something like that). And I thought - well, they both managed it by having numerous affairs and sleeping around! Great marital advice for your daughter in law. I did feel for Fergie at that point.

Hi Shauna, About Prince Phillip. A few years back, I was working with a colleague who had been a police officer in the UK He told me that when he was on duty at one of the royal residences, an unauthorised vehicle entered the grounds. It was Prince Phillip driving his girlfriends car. As my colleague stept forward to check the vehicle, he was knocked aside by the car. Prince Phillip parked and alighted from the car, snarled "bloody coppers" and stalked off into the building. As an aside, my family always reffered to him as Phil the Greek.

However, it never dawned on me that he had ‘a type of autism’! It’s just Autism - severe, mild or moderate or in his day also possibly Asperger’s Disorder….I always just thought he was an arrogant b@^%@*d who always thought he deserved more than he had…it seems he awarded himself a number of the medals he wore. It was the Queen Mum who kept him in his place….as clearly, being an Aristocrat herself she would have known where all their secrets were buried and, being who she was, no one dared cross her…including Dickie !

Thanks Shauna for clarifying the fact that the “ dark side’s was not the bisexuality of Mountbatten but the alleged sex offences. For a moment, it sounded like the outing of his sexuality was the problem, when Lowney stated he led a secret life and double standards. I understand there were many double standards in British Society surrounding sex and sexuality, however judging from today’s morals is complicated. People had to live double lives with double standards to protect themselves in many ways. Therefore certain choices were made, despite of the potential life changing/ ending consequences. However, I’m not condoning or talking about the sex offences, just the bisexuality.

I have loved your interactions with Mr. Lownie and I must read his book now. This is my favorite Shauna, bringing my attention to a wonderful, well researched book. Thank you.

As long as Charles is alive--and anyone who knew Prince Phillip--there will be a lead wall around the Mountbatten and his demons.
