Revealing the world’s BIGGEST Scandals... with Andrew Lownie & Phil Craig
William and Harry’s Summer of (not) Love - with Simon Vigar | Ep.83 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
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?

Phil, please do an update on your book on Diana. I would love to read it, but can’t get my hands on it! I’m glad you’re continuing with the podcast. I am not a natural supporter of the Royal Family, being a Scot with deep Irish roots, and having a grandfather who was one of the first members of the Independent Labour Party in Scotland, and an active member at that, but Harry and Meghan’s antics have turned me into a supporter, albeit not the most ardent, of the current Royal Family. On the brothers’ ‘feud’, I do think there are some things which are hard to forgive, and Harry’s childish, sly, nasty comments on his family, particularly his brother and his wife, which seem to be rooted in deep envy, fall into that category, imo. Anyway, I’m always interested in hearing other opinions!
Many thanks Elaine. I will press the publishers on the Diana book availability. I think a digital copy can be found - but maybe only in the uK.
@@philmcraig Thanks! I’ll head over to Amazon…
@@elainepaterson5310 Try googling Clayton + Diana + Kindle
Thank you for your reply about wish for your Diana book in audible. Yes, I have the Kindle version but would buy audible if it becomes available. Thank you for the ongoing gift of your content.
I wonder if Harry will return all the wealth he inherited from the "slavery-supporting" royal family?
Good question! 😅
Hahaha charles is king and people really take to him. Y'all men idealized Diana. And ha Meghan she's a joke. By any chance the housekeepers dairy is gold. 😂
Reading Andrew Lownie’s book Traitor King now. Have had to stop in wonder several times at the similarities btw them and H/MM. terrific read so far btw 👍
It’s a classic
Cheers folks. Can't help but think of South Park when contemplating the Non Royal but actually Quite Royal Tour. Andrew you'll be missed, but it's completely understandable why. Thank you for your fabulous input and look forward to your future work and your returns here. So glad to hear you're continuing Phil. This has been one of a few important sources of relief in recent times. In a previous incarnation I had many subscriptions but no time to enjoy them. Now in a caring role I've plenty of listening time, but lack the means to reward those who've helped me through. Hopefully changing a bit in the near future, will be good to be able to help a little those who've helped me a lot.
I really appreciate your warm and generous words Jim. Thanks so much.
Hello Phil! I’m catching up after taking the summer off from social media and other online activities. I’m sorry not to see Andrew regularly, but I’ll look forward to your future shows.
Thanks so much Kazza 😊
Please keep on with your show. 🎉
Thanks Susan - I will !
Harry is rudderless. Hollywood is done with them. Harry and his wife have no real power. They are going down the path of has-been
Could be (and I agree about Hollywood) but the ‘rebel royal’ brand has some appeal in the developing and formerly colonised world it seems!
I enjoy your podcasts immensely! It’s brilliant you are carrying-on. But are these “quasi royal tours” successful? They can create difficulties for the countries with their faux pas and thoughtless comments. Whilst in British Columbia, Prince Harry met with Lil’wat nation Chiefs to discuss “truth and reconciliation”. He also issued a statement they would discuss it further when he returns for the Invictus Games. On this jaunt, he doesn’t represent HM King Charles III, as Head of State of Canada, or the Canadian government. He shouldn’t be mucking about in this issue. Similarly, on other visits they are representing no one but themselves.
Yes I do agree about that - and thanks so much for the kind words too 😊
Looking forward to your future shows!
Thanks
So pleased to hear you will be continuing with the show. I really enjoy your measured, thoughtful take on all things Royal - that gentle, 'comfortable with nuance'-approach feels like it can be lacking in this space and it's great to have your voice here.
That’s exactly what I’m going for - thanks so much Suse
International do.gooders? Oh, please!
I thought it sounded a bit like The Thunderbirds! 😅
Hi Phil . So sorry to hear Andrew is unable to continue. Looking forward to the release of his new book. Good luck for that. So glad to hear that you will be continuing. Thank you for doing that. I always look forward to your very interesting podcast. Best wishes from Melbourne.
That’s so nice to read - thanks very much Miss P 😊
Funny and strange that the royal reporter drools and sighs how lovely MM could be in RF pictures. No one believes that perhaps the royal house had serious reason to get rid of the couple. And if you can use the same logic with other state entities - oh, the police chief was corrupt and lost his job. But he/she was so pretty, think how much better a press conference could look with him/she. Sigh.
Fair point Elena and I personally feel that Meghan was a very difficult boss and probably was responsible for most of the bad feelings that started to grow after the wedding. The Royal writer Valentine Low told us about all of that on this podcast in fact! But it still feels like a great shame that they all let it get this far IMO! 😊
@@philmcraig Maybe it was more than terrible boss? Harrys words-"It was terrifying," he continued. "To have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that just simply weren't true and my grandmother, you know, quietly sit there and sort of take it all in." It sounds much more than bad boss for me.
@@Elena-pj1phthe ‘Windsor temper’ has played a part in all this. William has it and Charles certainly did, especially in the early years of his marriage to Diana. Lots about that in my biography of her.
@@philmcraig Is it possible that perhaps the family discovered that all the contracts were already signed? Why Charles should talk about staff? Why even should H later explain Netflix contract in Oprah interview?
@@philmcraig shouldnt H be aware of Windsor temper fot not be terryfied?
Sorry to hear Andrew won’t be returning. Thanks for another interesting interview Phil. I’m glad you’re enjoying producing the program & I’ll continue to tune in when I can. Cheers!
Thanks for the support Railie😊
Re / Trump and Covid. He makes up so many stories he’s hard to know what to dig into ! On the flip side, I’m sure there were stories out there in 2016 about stormy Daniel’s payments which were swept under the rug !
Yes there were. Did you know it was my shark week film (Ocean of Fear) that he made her watch on one of their ‘dates’?
Again I will reiterate that I believe the whole Royal Lodge fiasco is a beat up by the media for selling newspapers etc. I don’t believe the King would involve himself in an unseemly wrangling with his brother over such a matter. I may turn out to be wrong but since both Princess Anne & Prince Edward have substantial properties I can quite see why Prince Andrew is not prepared to settle for less. It remains to be seen whether Prince William continues to shield him when he becomes Monarch.
You’ve obviously never dealt with rampant jealousy from a sibling Phil. I have & I’m telling you there is a point of no return. When the sibling makes it plain they do not have your best interests at heart & are prepared to go to almost any length to discredit you, disadvantage you & even seek to use your own child against you then it’s sayonara from me & its sayonara from Prince William. Not that the latter has happened in his instance. Yet.
The Royal family today is no more responsible for the actions of its forbears than I am of mine or you are of yours. Ridiculous to be expected ‘reparations’ in monetary terms. Their roles as ambassadors for Great Britain within the Commonwealth has garnered trade benefits to all the Nations of the Commonwealth & improved the quality of life in a myriad of other ways with educational & cultural benefits. That’s been the role of the Monarch within the Commonwealth since its institution.
This is utter bullshit.
They have no strengths.Tell the truth about Harry ,his missus and the phantom kids.
So pleased Phil you spoke about Trump and the media. I have been following the pending American elections and have been alarmed with the influence by major media outlets into trying to dupe the voters into believing that Trump will be the "ideal" future President. Intentionally omitting information on what he wants to implement once he becomes the President. The Project 25 sums up all that the voters should know and unfortunately media outlets like FOX News don't tell the middle and working class the dire consequences if Trump wins and implements it. The hosts on FOX's panelist shows are pro Trump, as are their guests. Except for one whose name I can't recall. Interestingly they regularly invite the Democrat Pete Buttigieg onto their show but unfortunately the Trump "noise" tends to bury his message, to the voters. The likes of Murdoch, Musk and Trump have many things in common. Power no matter what it takes from others, Greed what ever it costs others and heartless if their actions has others suffer. My daughter in Europe is a Global Journalist for a well regarded and unbiased international media outlet and as she says there are very few media outlets in the world who stay neutral and present the facts. The MeidasTouch podcast in America is one outlet which exposes Trump and the MAGA Movement's agenda. Which unfortunately is not well known. BTW! I love the diversity in subjects you cover. Speaking a little about the media on this podcast adds further to expanding our minds and learn from each other. 🦘
Thanks for your support Ann and yes I think the power of what you call major media outlets needs to be be reduced - and we need more diversity of opinion. Glad your daughter is in the business too! 😊
BTW. So pleased you are continuing the Podcast! The many Podcasts I listen to have their own uniqueness. Interestingly all the podcasters have delightful personalities which makes for a fun "time out." That includes you Phil! All the best of wishes and I look forward to more of your podcasts in the future! 🦘
Sorry I had to stop listening to after the gentlemen said he had sympathy for Harry. My sympathy is all used up…
Come on, that's ridiculous.
@@TinaJesse859 no it isn’t.
I was so happy to see a new episode! Thank you Phil for keeping us entertained throughout the summer with enthusiasm. Hopefully Andrew will be back soon. Bonjour from Montréal.
- good wishes to u for many future shows - c u in september-
Thanks Catherine 😊
How can you describe what they did in Columbia as “international do-gooding” when it was a toxic display of POINTLESS PRIVILEGE & DIVISIVE & DANGEROUS RACE BAITING PROPAGANDA! It was grotesque and disgusting 🤢
Yes Phil there are always 2 sides to every story, I too find trump distasteful but I find Kamala/Mamala even more distasteful in fact downright TERRIFYING. The fact that Markle is so cosy with her Democrat cronies & that the hapless handbag is exuding so much misery… is all very very telling. So I am hoping & praying for the health of the world that Trump gets in & that RFK has some positive influence over his policies especially where health and farming practices are concerned! I only care about policies & the democrats are hiding their policies except for the really toxic ones that target the health of the youngest & most vulnerable THE CHILDREN… offering them up to rogue medical practices as Guinea pigs. It’s GROTESQUE & CRIMINAL.
Thank you. I agree with you completely. Phil making such a definitive statement about Trump’s character is exactly what most Trump haters focus on and ignore the policies that we are being offered. People are willing to vote for Harris without even knowing her policies. Right now, we don’t have a President he’s sitting on the beach!! Obama is probably heavily involved. Harris refuses to speak extemporaneously at all. Trump is gathering intelligent people around him. I want American to stop being involved in pointless wars. I’m voting for Trump.
- of all the important interesting stuff in the world why are news ppl still talking that is wasted time bout Sussexes - 2 most off the wall delusional individuals - however i do enjoy ur programs any which way - but i find royalty or would be royalty or gone and left royalty is most boring and such very old news - be well -
Why would you want william to be opened for harry to abuse Catherine again ? Absolutly not should harry ever be near catherine ever again
try sorry to hear that Andrew isn't coming back. He was superb!!!
The late Queen STRIPPED them of those roles something you & your buddy seem to omit ! Queen knew that they were self promoting & not about charity work & building bonds . They undermine the royal family at all oppturnities . As an American she is NOT popular & you brits give her way too much credit ! She did those charitys dirty by never doing annything with them again . Also as an American citizen a foriegn Prince trying to silence my first admendment rights is my reason to speak out against harry & meghan too ! . Both are trying to censor any critical articles or videos on them . Meghan is doing absolutly nothing to help her own local community in LA the poor the homeless . She & harry are grifters & phil you are going to have egg on your face by the end of this farce of saga of harry & meghan . americans hate the sussexs phil you are clueless of the american people feel about woke activists that do nothing but take & not give . BLM was the biggest con job billions spent on houses cars & property for the founders family & friends not one community building for poor black people !
Don’t understand why I feel like the band has broken up. But we keep calm & carry on.
Meghan had the green eyed monster in her. She wanted MONEY! She used the RF and duped Harry. She NEVER wanted to stay.
Glad to hear you're mongering on ! Love the mix of authors and subjects, and the chit-chat surrounding the people in question.
Mongering on! I love it. Thanks Jayne😊
HI Phil, definately don't agree with a lot of your opions, but i like the way you put them forward, and makes me think about why I agree or don't. So many people just rant on about their ideas as if there can be no other, keep it up, will continue to listen. One thing though, please refer to Princess Catherine as Catherine, not Kate. She want's to be called that, just a sign of respect to anyone to use the name that they wish to be called
Thanks for this Cheryl and yes you’re right I shouldn’t slip into the tabloid way of describing Princess Catherine.
Please don't give Harry any power by referencing him . Let us value our traditions and support the Crown .
Meghan, the changemaker, the one who gives women a voice? IMO, it's not about women to be heard, it's about HER, giving this voice! That's the only explanation I have for her behaviour when Camilla, the then Duchess of Cornwall gave a speech for the fight against domestic violence. Why are her fotos of a 'secret meeting' at the national theatre so important that they had to be published at this day?? This was done intentional to draw the attention away from Camilla (easy to do) but in reality she draw the attention away from women who need attention and support - is it just me who finds this disgusting, especially for a selfproclaimed feminist???
No I think there is a lot of truth in that analysis Heike - it’s just that I also see things I admire in SOME of the other things that H&M have said
@@philmcraig Interesting answer... 'Things they have said'... Also things, they have done? I really have problems to figure out what they doing and what are their competences? But perhaps competence doesn't matter. The praise for Diana's fight for AIDS patients drives me still crazy. Not because of her but because of the public reaction! When scientists did a lot of work and studies, most just didn't believe. But when a Princess without any professional background comes along, it must be true..
What is at the root of the vicious hatred of Meghan, I wonder. Is it that she's very American, very take-charge, very biracial? The same could be said of the next president of the US! Strong women, especially strong women of color, often run up against enormous irrational disapproval, even fear. I'd love to hear a more balanced take on Meghan, including what Britain has lost by making it impossible for her to continue in any useful role in the reconciliation and reparations process you describe.
If you watch our conversations with Clive Irvine on this then we do explore these themes. That said I feel that the onslaught on the RF and indeed the UK from Harry and Meghan over the question of race has been hugely overdone - and probably to justify a much more mundane and everyday falling out between siblings and siblings in law.
🎯 💯%
What lovely closing words regarding Andrew.
Thanks for sticking with it Tina 😊
I find a degree of irony for all your talk about people entrenched in their echo chambers yet you continue to defend Harry who is among the most egregious today suppressing a free press. The bullying that Trump exacted is identical to the dark arts being carried out by the Sussex camp. Harry loved colluding with the press as long as it was favorable to bigging him up. I find nothing to defend Harry's behavior. Of course Charles has used the press for selfish motives and he continues to do so; however, you conveniently overlook that Harry was fine with it as long as *HE* was a beneficiary. I do question your judgement toward Harry. Didn't you jump on the "Where's Kate?" bandwagon when there was no evidence of anything untoward going on other than scurrilous conjecture? Or perhaps in your bias toward Harry you have too willingly developed an antipathy against William?
I hope I would call out bullying whenever and wherever I see it but I also agree with you that Harry and his media allies were unfair and uncaring in many of the things they said - or allowed others to say - at the time of ‘Mexit’.
Trump is a convicted felon!
What I want to say has been said/commented many times. So sorry to see Mr. Lonnie go, but of course very glad that you will carry on. Thank you! I always liked just you two talking. Good to know that Mr. Lonnie will be back. It just feels so good to watch a civilized, balanced discourse. Sadly that is not the norm any more.
I agree and I’m hoping that the guests and I will continue to deliver exactly that! 😊

Stay strong, Phil! 💪 I’ve really enjoyed following along with both you & Andrew. I appreciate the time & energy you’ve both put into this podcast. Will miss Andrew, but very happy the podcast will continue! I love the varied topics and introduction to new (to me) authors/journos/ideas.
Thanks Kate - that’s a lovely thing to read, and especially today 😊
All this adulation of Meghan Markle from you has made me decide to unsubscribe. Can't believe you would support someone like that.
Sorry to lose anyone of course but I don’t think it’s adulation for MM at all, more a refusal to indulge in the more extreme anti Meghan nonsense (like the fake baby stuff) and a sympathy for Harry’s views about the press and the palace.

And I’m holding out hope that you jump the line and come stand on this side of the room regarding the nutmeg & harry thing. My goddddddd I’m so sick of those two!! lol! Come over to our side, Phil! 🙌🏼🙌🏼💯
