    In this my later life I am physically confined. Sepsis made me unable to cope with heavily peopled pavements or wide open spaces. However, my mental health has never been more joyfully employed. Due to a busy life I find I now have the opportunity to travel where my head wishes to take me. My head loves your podcasts, it likes being able to pursue those niggling “what’s that all about” things that are thrust upon us day by day. You are both adorably able to bring to our attention controversial things that pump away at us and provide some form of answers or even truths that are kept from us by those who benefit. Bless you both. I am a devoted admirer.

    Stoked to see Andrew Gold on your program this week. I first saw Andrew Lownie from his podcast, talking about Mountbatten and Kincora. I immediately googled him and that led me to this podcast about 6 months ago. I am almost caught up on all past episodes, they are fantastic. I have also recently, two months ago found Shauna's The Vintage Readers I have commented on a few of her episodes, like right after you interviewed Kitty Kelley, she started reviewing her book The Royals. You absolutely need to get her on your show!!! She has a question for Valentine Lowe on an article he wrote about Harry and Meghan

    I enjoyed this episode much more than I expected. I found this podcast after I went down a rabbit hole of Andrew Lownie’s talks about his Guy Burgess book. I’ve seen Andrew Gold (AG) on TH-cam previously but I’ve always been sceptical because of his use of “woke” in a context that appears to be reactionary. Like many highly educated people with left political views, I’m aware that a lot of reactionary commentary on transgender people is uninformed and destructive. (From the perspective of having previously closely followed Australian court litigation to authorise gender affirming care for trans children, with all the relevant expert medical evidence. Historian Noah Riseman wrote a great book on the history of trans people in Australia.)
    This conversation provided more insight into AG’s views. I value taking an evidence based approach, especially when new information becomes available.
    The discussion of confessions reminded me of Michel Foucault’s work on the shift of confessions from the church to psychiatry and psychology.

    Maybe you could ask Clive Irving, since he advocates for Harry's return as a working royal, (he wrote about it in the daily beast) how does he imagine that is possible? (No one who has that idea gave an explanation for that). How Clive thinks monarchy (what it has to be) can be reconciled with what Harry wants? Examples:
    -Harry is battling against hierarchy, monarchy is all about hierarchy
    -there can be only 1 monarch and in Harry's case he won't bow to future king, his brother. How Clive imagines that monarchy can work in that case?
    -Harry is openly political, so much so, that he wanted his opinion on the government, brexit etc to remain written for the history by giving his opinion about it all in the court. Monarchy must be above politics. How Clive imagines monarchy to work with Harry saying what ever he thinks? Even "meddling" Charles didn't do that.
    -people want a smaller monarchy, to cost less, they don't want their wealth to show up in their face. Showing wealth is Harry&Meghan's lifestyle.
    -one of the problems for Harry&Meghan was money. They want a lot of it, which their position in hierarchy doesn't grant them. But they, in this day and age, can't be working royals and earn money sideways. People won't accept that.
    -last year or year before there was a poll with the result saying that people in the UK don't think all William's children should be full part of the monarchy. Meaning, no room for Harry's children at all (as it is now the case, no child of Charles's sibling is/will be part of the monarchy). But, from Harry&Meghan's interviews they saw their children as part of the institution. Which isn't what people want.
    -commonwealth - William said that he doesn't expect to be head of the commonwealth - which is a logical step. At the last gathering countries expressed the view that they don't want the head of the British monarchy to automatically be the head of the commonwealth. There are reports that William even thinks that the commonwealth is an outdated institution. Some may even argue, with all talks about colonialism, he has a point. BUT Harry expressed his desire to be someone high in the commonwealth organisation. How is that in alignment with everything Harry claims he stands for? That's another difference between future king and his brother, serious one.
    So, it would be nice if you could ask Clive how he thinks his idea of Harry coming back could possibly happen? Given all these differences between brothers and differences between Harry himself and what monarchy must be. These are not questions of jealousy, media etc, these are serious differences about serious topics and about future path of the monarchy.

    Right out of college I landed a job with John Kenneth Galbraith, who had a kind of dog and pony show doing public debates in the U.S. with William F. Buckley. They were billed as liberal vs. conservative public intellectuals who famously sparred on stage. But off stage? They were great friends who would share a post-debate meal. I love this podcast and its thoughtful hosts and guests. How about an episode on the now-elderly Kenyans who were tortured by British soldiers and administrators in the years right before Kenya’s independence - scandal - and the role previously hidden British colonial era archival materials played in their successful lawsuit brought against Britain a few years ago?

    Is pattern seeking similar to group forming in the sense that it's been vital for our survival, but also causes us huge problems too?

    As for what to cover - I am disturbed by the actions of Harry grabbing men’s nipples and twisting them. He did it twice in his recent trip to Africa in addition to touching that young girl.
    To me - he is coming from a place of privilege, touching people who can’t do much about it. It’s very disturbing! One of the men he grabbed at twice was a player during the seated volleyball. As for that young girl, it is not appropriate for a strange man to place his hands on the arms and shoulders of a child. Male or email!
    Of course - no one will or feels they can say anything like DONT! - because he’s a royal prince.
