My husband met a fascinating ex Etonian in Singapore last year in the course of a business deal. This chap was in the same year as Prince William & he reported over a fascinating long lunch conversation that William was a head down, non pretentious good sort of bloke, keen to fit in & a prince amongst MANY international princes who went to Eton, but he said that the younger brother was quite an upstart & quite unpopular at the school… Thought I would share just this little contributory anecdote which proves to me that Harry is jealous malicious little brother whose purpose is definitely to rise above his brother at any cost. The Markle connection has been a true meeting of the minds! Great conversation! 🫶🏽🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺🐨
This tidbit about Harry has been shared by a few writers….i can’t remember who they were, but I know I have read this before. So the writers were not wrong!
Well that’s interesting and not at all surprising. Harry seems quote unpleasant just like his uncle A. Entitled and arrogant who thinks he deserves things for who he was born as, not what he contributes? That’s why both of them ask for special treatment and free security etc at the expense of the tax payer while they are no longer working royals? Harry wants it for his overseas based family which is even worse than Andrew who lives in the UK? I always got the impression from accounts and from observation that William is a serious guy. Harry is jealous and nasty. Thanks for sharing.
She’s great! Only vaguely knew the name “The Vintage Read”, probably bc these gents mentioned her, but am thoroughly impressed with her. Sharp, eloquent, and quite personable. You’ve a fan here in Texas!
She's also a really good analyst of events. She logically constructs timelines and follows things back to their origins in a really clear and rational way, she brings in additional information from other reading that she's done - because she is not only widely read, but very retentive, so she puts things together brilliantly.
Shauna and Vintage read is so Good.I always feel like it's a being with Friends, having a Goss.Always interesting when she reviews books,best yet .Enjoying this Scandal Ms + Aussie Shauna.love❤
American who agrees. She's too connected to the royals for the serious anti-monarchy people to take her beyond her complaints, too against the monarchy and the Markles for anybody who believes strongly in family and loyalty and tradition, too narcissistic for any narcissistic whose purposes are at a cross to hers. The only people she's really got are the people who allow their compassion to override everything else and narcissists (in the short term) who are holding her up to normalize their own behaviour. Which after all is a fairly small percentage of the population. They are just unfortunately VERY LOUD.
I'm American, too. Mist people I know, that even know who she is, think they are both a joke. Just laughingstocks and ridiculed. 😂 I think the biggest joke was that she was a bug actress. She was barely a D rate actress.
@@philmcraig, beware there. Paula M is getting her info from a book by Queen Letizia 's former brother-in-law. Paula really speculates quite a lot, so much so I unsubscribed to her after she claimed, without proof, Meghan called her
@@philmcraig NO NO NO - Not Paula M. She does no research on anything, she merely regurgitates what she hears others say. No integrity whatsoever. Also, she's a grifter. Having said as much on other channels who've mentioned her name and including her own channel, replies I've received are many. This is not just my opinion alone. Shauna had her as a guest not long ago. I can't motivate myself to watch Paula M. anymore but I did voice my opinion to Shauna. I wonder if the episode was well received. You may want to ask Shauna about that if you are seriously considering inviting Paula M. Shauna is such a nice person and very magnanimous, perhaps she had a good experience with that woman. If so, fine and dandy.
I suppose that depends on whether you believe it was actually meant to be about Invictus or about Meghan in the first place. Of the goal was to make Meghan seem special and like a princess, then it was a success, at least in the short term. I believe that was the actual goal and Invictus was merely an excuse to showcase Meghan as it has been for a few years.
@@imanicoppola-v5n It is clear that you have a total misconception about the commonwealth much like Markle do. From comments and a few podcasts lead by real Nigerians it is actually the opposite of whatmyou are saying.
I'm a regular follower of Shauna's Vintage Read. I"m enjoying this podcast. It's very refreshing to hear discussions with reasonable views from both sides. Very good podcast.
What a great podcast today. I enjoyed having my morning coffee listening to it. One of the things that makes Shauna stand out is the fact that she actually does a lot of research. Her research skills are pretty amazing if you listen to some of her podcasts, whether, the Royals or anything else. It’s apparent that she reads a lot of different sources, combs the Web, and presents sometimes perplexing but very interesting theories about things and that is the sign of a good critical thinker. I for one look will forward to a regular appearance as one of your guests. By the way, I am from the US.
I appreciate the fact that Shauna is fair minded and non judgemental. I applaud that. Her research and her attitude puts her head and shoulders above many other TH-camrs.
Shauna is my favourite You Tuber...she is better than most investigative journalists out there and has an amazing ability to winkle out the most often overlooked details and connect the dots. She is self depreciating and greatly entertaining. Phil you need to investigate into the opinions of Nigerians on what they thought of the Nigeria tour. It was anything but a success from their point of view.
Oh my, I was just about to say this, but I found your comment first. I couldn’t agree with you more. She is also my top TH-camr in terms of investigative reporting and spot-on analysis based on facts. I follow many, and she is the best. A close second, for me, is Lost Beyond Pluto. Followed by SueMe.
You know, if that's how Nigeria treats ordinary citizens, like Mr. and Mrs. Markle, when they visit, I'm booking myself a ticket. I'm already dreaming of 5 star hotels, thousands of dollars for a new wardrobe and jewelry, getting my face on magazine covers and TV and all sorts of other goodies. I had no idea that Nigerians are so welcoming to mere tourists. All you have to do is stay there for 3 days, that's it, to qualify. I can hardly wait.
I’m an American and Megan doesn’t carry any weight politically. We as a nation don’t seem to like celebrity endorsements . They are seen as superficial and uneducated and self serving. Hi Shauna it’s always great to see and hear you!
The exception to your great comment is Trump. It seems unlikely that he could have ever been elected president the first (hopefully ONLY) time if he had not been on The Apprentice, which gave him name recognition and created the fable of him being a great businessman. Even though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016, it's astounding that enough voters fell for the illusion Trump created on a TV show to have tipped the electoral college in his favor.
Shauna also has an audience here in Canada (not to be left out). The reason I listen to her is because of the time she spends researching, then what she says then can be verified. And not least she is personable and has her feet on the ground. So just to let you know it is because of this Podcast she did with you I have subscribed and will start listening to your videos. Yay Shauna!
What a great podcast! I’m subscribed to Shauna’s channel and found her to be a very knowledgeable and fair and engaging lady! Glad she was able to join you two gentlemen! Bravo!
As a former Canadian living in the US I am interested in Royal goings on, however the majority of my friends pay no attention to Harry and Meghan. When I mentioned something about them to my husband he looked blank and said, “ Who.” She would be a liability to any presidential candidate in the USA.
I only just got around to watching this video, and what a joy it was! I love Shauna, and I have her to thank for introducing me to this channel. Thanks for an enjoyable talk!
As a huge Shauna fan from little Tasmania, Australia, you should definitely have Shauna on, on a regular basis. Have loved listening & am now subscribed.
I agree with Shauna. Meghan just isn't that important and she's a liability. There's all this talk about Meghan getting into politics. I'm American and I have heard next to nothing about Meghan getting into politics.
Maybe she cozy ups to some of the big folks but I know they see right through her. The last incident where Gavin new son came to her defense was politically motivated for himself - he’s running for governor again against his AG and needed to make him wrong. There is another explanation that Gordon Getty intervened.
She exploited all of Ken Sunshine’s connections when she was with his PR firm. Remember Hillary saying she met with Megan, and the fake tour of NY where they met with DiBlasio? And lobbying the U.S. senate using her UK title and a $5 Starbucks card? Gavin Newsome making a bs statement about their public charity. Not to mention the voting speech she & Harry recorded. I think she wants to be in politics, but as usual, doesn’t want to do the hard work.
I think Meg wants to be in politics, but isn’t interested in doing the hard work. Ken Sunshine, of SunshineSachs- her former PR company, is extremely heavily connected in the DNC. That is how she got Hillary to mention her name, met DiBlasio, connected with the NY senator Gillibrand to lobby using her UK title and a $5 Starbucks card, bought that award from Andrew Cuomo’s ex-wife, Kerry Kennedy, got Liz Garbus to direct the NF show, and met Gloria Steinem. I’m guessing she burned her bridges with Sunshine, which is why Eric Adams didn’t stick with the line about the catastrophic car crash, and why she’s been cozying up to Newsom instead of the NY based politicos as of late. I don’t think she could win a school board seat with the Santa Barbara County at this point, but I would actually respect the effort if she did.
Aussie here. The art of civilised disagreement, indeed. A very enjoyable podcast with Shauna, who is well-informed, fair and articulate. A monthly catch-up sounds great. I think Harry is completely fine with what Meghan does; in many ways, she acts out his true thoughts and feelings. I find surrogacy plausible. Harry and Meghan have demonstrated ruthlessness when it comes to the family and getting what they want. I can also see them simply playing games with the media. That said, Meghan crouching in a deep squat at 8 months cannot be explained.
Hi, thanks for having Shauna as your guest. I watch as many SS's (Shauna Shows) as I possibly can. She's very pleasant to listen to and in my opinion, she's a woman of great integrity. I also thank you for giving your guest time to talk. So often I see hosts vying for airtime rather than letting their guests speak. Often, I wonder why they even bother having guests. When I start watching a show with multiple people featured, I get anxious before the discussion even begins because I'm expecting at least one person hogging airtime and at least one person hardly heard from. I have to stop watching or take lots of Alka Selzer if I want to stick with it. My foible. Anyway, thanks again for a great show. Fondly, New Subscriber.
Oh American here & there's no way Meghan's endorsement would help Biden. While I'm biased I can say Americans really have a problem with the attacks on his family & it looks awful one of us couldn't hack it in the RF , the netflix show made them look awful etc. Shauna's nieche imo is she comes at the Royal Family bringing insight closer to the truth through books. Most others are just surface. The dog story you shared a perfect example! I'm book lover and former journalist & this skill is invaluable.
Most Americans had no idea who Meghan Markle was before the announcement that she was engaged to Harry. When reports said Harry was marrying the American actress, the vast majority of us asked, "Who?" She's on Suits. "What's Suits?" Then we learned it was a cable TV series. Most people shrugged. Obviously she wasn't a household name. I believe she still isn't. Meghan supporting Biden? Well, I'm afraid that won't win him many points. Let's face it, Meghan is no Grace Kelly, but she may be closer in popularity to Mrs. Wallis Simpson.
I’m from Australia & love Shauna. So glad to see her flourishing. She is so funny, reasonable and handles the whole H&M drama with a sense of humour and not a bone of nastiness. A skill akin to walking a tightrope when it comes to unravelling the chaos those two love to create. She is a brilliant storyteller and her deep dive into different books is fascinating. I’m surprised she hasn’t been contacted by Audible to narrate books! This was my first time listening to your podcast and am excited to check out more - and read your books!
Loved this interview, thank you! One thing I think many of us have noticed about Harry and Meghan is just how messy they are in every venture they do. Regardless of the amazing circles they get to be part of just from Harry’s status alone, it’s the fact they have such a hard time utilising such amazing opportunities & it comes across as their “right” not their “luck” to be grateful for. Especially when we hear so much about how late to events they are, how they don’t value the time of others as they think their presence is enough. This is why they ring so hollow for so many.
LOVE Shauna! She’s clever, funny and makes excellent observations on what she reads. Great that you had her on your show. Also, you compliment one another‘s shows! 😊And yes, Phil, „The art of civilized disagreement“ is so important today. You two and Shauna are able to walk that tightrope. 🌟
As usual, I arrive a day late and a pound short and wont get seen but I will say, I bought Andrew's book, "Traitor King: The Scandalous Exile of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor". I watched the podcast Andrew did with William Ramsay on Shauna's recommendation and I was so intrigued I immediately ordered it online. Thank you for having Shauna on your show and I'm rather glad she introduced me to your channel, chaps. Cheers from Australia.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, Gentlemen, thank you. I watch The Vintage Read, which resulted in this being "suggested" by TH-cam, so yes, the algorithm works to everyone's advantage on occasion!
Love Shauna because she investigates, re-reads books and has an incredible memory. She regularly re-considers her position and is open-minded. In addition to that, she is humble. Her intelligence and polite manner shown to be far superior to you , Phil, when you interrupted every sentence in the first portion of the podcast and when you dismissed her theories by referring to the photograph which she said she did not include in her theory. It showed you as egotistical and perhaps "threatened" by an intelligent woman. Sad.
@@martizavala6713 sorry Marti it’s hard to debate on a trans hemisphere zoom but I would never want to disparage Shauna or any of the people we’re lucky enough to interview. Next time she appears - and I think we’re still friends - I’ll try not to be prickly or pushy
As an American, I agree with Shauna that M does not have much political influence in America. If she endorses Biden, so what? Who cares? Who’s Meghan Markle. A large portion of Americans simply don’t care about the Harkles at all, nor are they interested in the Royal family. Another large portion do not like them because of their behaviors, sense of entitlement, and lack of family values. In fact, many Americans are sick of celebrities sticking their nose into politics and endorsing candidates.
Do you mean the British royal family are entitled and have no family values? They are heavily scrutinised by the public and their accounts are open book. Their work schedule is packed and easily involve public and charity services more than 300x a year, many of them over 60 years of age. The late queen and the king welcome world leaders for the uk and do more good in the commonwealth. They are much loved by the brits than most politicians, celebs and KOL who doesn’t really contribute to society. So please don’t let Harry and his wife make you think this is what the British royals behave.
Shauna's Vintage Read sho is excellent. She reviews books and shares them in a very fun way. I enjoy her presentations vey much. She has done at least one book that is out of print that many were grateful to hear about. I don't see her as someone who speaks very often about Harry and Meghan, but she covers some royal biographies and autobiographies.
I’m an American and Meghan is so unpopular here that any endorsement of Biden would be an additional liability to him. Almost everyone is on to her dishonesty, even my younger sister who used to love her.
This is one of the most civil, enjoyable conversations between Andrew, Phillip & Shauna that I’ve seen to date on all of the Podcasts i’ve viewed thus far. I wish Andrew & Phillip the very best and I’ll be going back to look at their other broadcasts. Good luck fellas!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. . Shauna is so amazing. Her podcasts are so intelligent and have just the right amount of humor. She is Very relatable and connects easily. Guys of scandal mongers, you guys are great too. Looking forward to subscribing.
I love Andrew Lownie! Oh I hope Shawna can interview him about his book “Traitor king” and how he researches stuff… I’m here for it. Best podcast ever!
I would love to see a regular collaboration with you and Shauna! I’m a big fan of hers, and only just becoming aware of the 2 of you, and now subscribed! 🇺🇸👍😃
It’s funny I probably live less than 150 kilometres from Shauna but when watching her you’re very aware she’s speaking to an international audience and you don’t mind at all and funnily she sometimes drops in little Australian idioms. So that’s our little treat - for her Australian audience
@@philmcraig Phil thank you for commenting love your show - yes I know re the distance but in Australia particularly Qld we measure distance colloquially in driving hours usually. So I’m on the Sunshine Coast. I think Shauna is in Brisbane. Typically we would say “how far is it?” And the answer would be “oh it’s only an hour away” - on a highway at 100km/hr. Queensland as you know (you said you’ve been to Australia a few times) is enormous. I think it’s 3000km+ northern tip down to the Qld border. And wide east west too. But there’s a lot of nothing in there. 😂 I was amazed at how close villages are together in England. It’s so beautiful over there.
@@kyliedavies1695 I remember when we lived in Sydney and friends would drive to Canberra and back in a day and think nothing of it! Tho in QLD terms that’s not a long drive. I miss Oz, especially QLD and NT where we had so many great holidays
As an American, I can assure you Meghan is character poison. No legit candidate would touch her. Shauna’s right, when contacting congress at their private phones, were 1) why do I care about a woman not from my district thinking she could lobby me, 2) how did she get my private number, and 3) laughing at her audacity “ hello, this is the Duchess of Sussex…🤣” You only need to look at her exclusion from all the A players. Named grifters and “biggest losers” didn’t help.
Shauna is great. She is an amazing storyteller and can make me go buy books that I really wouldn´t have picked myself. I know this was a warm-up, but more talk about books :)
I'm a regular on Shauna's various channels and her latest Gossip Before Bed referred her viewers to this interview on your channel. I quite enjoyed the differing viewpoints and civil discourse and will be tuning in again from the USA!

I agree with Shauna. Meghan just isn't that important and she's a liability. There's all this talk about Meghan getting into politics. I'm American and I have heard next to nothing about Meghan getting into politics.
Interesting tho some columnists have been speculating on it I think
@@philmcraig I think it's some way off. She wants to make money first.
Maybe she cozy ups to some of the big folks but I know they see right through her. The last incident where Gavin new son came to her defense was politically motivated for himself - he’s running for governor again against his AG and needed to make him wrong. There is another explanation that Gordon Getty intervened.
She exploited all of Ken Sunshine’s connections when she was with his PR firm. Remember Hillary saying she met with Megan, and the fake tour of NY where they met with DiBlasio? And lobbying the U.S. senate using her UK title and a $5 Starbucks card? Gavin Newsome making a bs statement about their public charity. Not to mention the voting speech she & Harry recorded.
I think she wants to be in politics, but as usual, doesn’t want to do the hard work.
I think Meg wants to be in politics, but isn’t interested in doing the hard work. Ken Sunshine, of SunshineSachs- her former PR company, is extremely heavily connected in the DNC. That is how she got Hillary to mention her name, met DiBlasio, connected with the NY senator Gillibrand to lobby using her UK title and a $5 Starbucks card, bought that award from Andrew Cuomo’s ex-wife, Kerry Kennedy, got Liz Garbus to direct the NF show, and met Gloria Steinem. I’m guessing she burned her bridges with Sunshine, which is why Eric Adams didn’t stick with the line about the catastrophic car crash, and why she’s been cozying up to Newsom instead of the NY based politicos as of late.
I don’t think she could win a school board seat with the Santa Barbara County at this point, but I would actually respect the effort if she did.
Aussie here. The art of civilised disagreement, indeed. A very enjoyable podcast with Shauna, who is well-informed, fair and articulate. A monthly catch-up sounds great. I think Harry is completely fine with what Meghan does; in many ways, she acts out his true thoughts and feelings. I find surrogacy plausible. Harry and Meghan have demonstrated ruthlessness when it comes to the family and getting what they want. I can also see them simply playing games with the media. That said, Meghan crouching in a deep squat at 8 months cannot be explained.
Hi, thanks for having Shauna as your guest. I watch as many SS's (Shauna Shows) as I possibly can. She's very pleasant to listen to and in my opinion, she's a woman of great integrity. I also thank you for giving your guest time to talk. So often I see hosts vying for airtime rather than letting their guests speak. Often, I wonder why they even bother having guests. When I start watching a show with multiple people featured, I get anxious before the discussion even begins because I'm expecting at least one person hogging airtime and at least one person hardly heard from. I have to stop watching or take lots of Alka Selzer if I want to stick with it. My foible. Anyway, thanks again for a great show. Fondly, New Subscriber.
Thanks for the lovely long comment Karen - and welcome!😊
Hi there, I came here because of Shauna, love her and knew nothing of your podcast, but I will start following. Thank you both! ❤
From the USA🇺🇸
Thanks so much and I hope you find some of our other episodes interesting too! Plus.. Shauna will be back!
Shauna is wonderful! I'm from the US.
Welcome Marilin and thanks for checking us out 😊
Yes please she is every knowledgeable person and she knows what she is talking about ❤
Oh American here & there's no way Meghan's endorsement would help Biden. While I'm biased I can say Americans really have a problem with the attacks on his family & it looks awful one of us couldn't hack it in the RF , the netflix show made them look awful etc. Shauna's nieche imo is she comes at the Royal Family bringing insight closer to the truth through books. Most others are just surface. The dog story you shared a perfect example! I'm book lover and former journalist & this skill is invaluable.
Most Americans had no idea who Meghan Markle was before the announcement that she was engaged to Harry. When reports said Harry was marrying the American actress, the vast majority of us asked, "Who?" She's on Suits. "What's Suits?" Then we learned it was a cable TV series. Most people shrugged. Obviously she wasn't a household name. I believe she still isn't. Meghan supporting Biden? Well, I'm afraid that won't win him many points. Let's face it, Meghan is no Grace Kelly, but she may be closer in popularity to Mrs. Wallis Simpson.
Love Shauna because she a very good researcher and interviewer.
Shauna’s book reviews and in depth research is brilliant. Great guest, thank you.
Our pleasure 😊
Thank you for having Shauna on your show. I watch everything she does. A collaboration would be fabulous.
I’m from Australia & love Shauna. So glad to see her flourishing. She is so funny, reasonable and handles the whole H&M drama with a sense of humour and not a bone of nastiness. A skill akin to walking a tightrope when it comes to unravelling the chaos those two love to create. She is a brilliant storyteller and her deep dive into different books is fascinating. I’m surprised she hasn’t been contacted by Audible to narrate books! This was my first time listening to your podcast and am excited to check out more - and read your books!
What a lovely comment. Thanks so much Bianca. And Welcome!
Shauna is great! Wonderful chat and interviewee. Love her channel and research into the inconsistencies
Shauna is a smart and lovely lady.
Loved this interview, thank you!
One thing I think many of us have noticed about Harry and Meghan is just how messy they are in every venture they do. Regardless of the amazing circles they get to be part of just from Harry’s status alone, it’s the fact they have such a hard time utilising such amazing opportunities & it comes across as their “right” not their “luck” to be grateful for. Especially when we hear so much about how late to events they are, how they don’t value the time of others as they think their presence is enough.
This is why they ring so hollow for so many.
I agree they are not as smart as they think they are.
Hoping "our" Shauna gets a regular spot on your show. Well done!
It’s a done deal 😊
Fabulous podcast.
Thanks so much Jamie 😊
I am a faithful follower and “Sipper” with Shauna! I now have found you two blokes. Well done!
Delighted to have you with us.
LOVE Shauna! She’s clever, funny and makes excellent observations on what she reads. Great that you had her on your show. Also, you compliment one another‘s shows! 😊And yes, Phil, „The art of civilized disagreement“ is so important today. You two and Shauna are able to walk that tightrope. 🌟
Thanks so much!
The dream team.
As usual, I arrive a day late and a pound short and wont get seen but I will say, I bought Andrew's book, "Traitor King: The Scandalous Exile of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor". I watched the podcast Andrew did with William Ramsay on Shauna's recommendation and I was so intrigued I immediately ordered it online. Thank you for having Shauna on your show and I'm rather glad she introduced me to your channel, chaps. Cheers from Australia.
Many thanks Jan!
Thoroughly enjoyed this, Gentlemen, thank you. I watch The Vintage Read, which resulted in this being "suggested" by TH-cam, so yes, the algorithm works to everyone's advantage on occasion!
All praise the mighty algorithm! And welcome… 😊
Welcome to our first episode with Shauna!! 😊
Her beauty and wit add greatly to your panel.
@@barbraluce5706 can’t argue with that!!
Love Shauna because she investigates, re-reads books and has an incredible memory. She regularly re-considers her position and is open-minded. In addition to that, she is humble. Her intelligence and polite manner shown to be far superior to you , Phil, when you interrupted every sentence in the first portion of the podcast and when you dismissed her theories by referring to the photograph which she said she did not include in her theory. It showed you as egotistical and perhaps "threatened" by an intelligent woman. Sad.
@@martizavala6713 sorry Marti it’s hard to debate on a trans hemisphere zoom but I would never want to disparage Shauna or any of the people we’re lucky enough to interview. Next time she appears - and I think we’re still friends - I’ll try not to be prickly or pushy
@philmcraig please continue to be prickly and pushy. On your podcast we expect nothing less.
Three cups of coffee later and I am sad that this discussions is over. I loved it.I am so glad I have discovered you .
Three cups! Thanks so much and welcome Britta 😊 ☕️☕️☕️
Hi from Washington, USA. Really enjoyed this. Love Shauna--upbeat, well-informed. Looking forward to more.
So are we J ! 😊
As an American, I agree with Shauna that M does not have much political influence in America. If she endorses Biden, so what? Who cares? Who’s Meghan Markle. A large portion of Americans simply don’t care about the Harkles at all, nor are they interested in the Royal family. Another large portion do not like them because of their behaviors, sense of entitlement, and lack of family values. In fact, many Americans are sick of celebrities sticking their nose into politics and endorsing candidates.
Well said. 👍
Do you mean the British royal family are entitled and have no family values? They are heavily scrutinised by the public and their accounts are open book. Their work schedule is packed and easily involve public and charity services more than 300x a year, many of them over 60 years of age. The late queen and the king welcome world leaders for the uk and do more good in the commonwealth.
They are much loved by the brits than most politicians, celebs and KOL who doesn’t really contribute to society.
So please don’t let Harry and his wife make you think this is what the British royals behave.
Shauna's Vintage Read sho is excellent. She reviews books and shares them in a very fun way. I enjoy her presentations vey much. She has done at least one book that is out of print that many were grateful to hear about. I don't see her as someone who speaks very often about Harry and Meghan, but she covers some royal biographies and autobiographies.
Yes and we hope she will be our pod-pal for ever now!! 😊
@@philmcraig I enjoy your and Andrew's programs vary much as well. This is not the only I have seen. Keep up the fun work!
Heard about you from Shauna and now have watched a few of your podcasts. Will keep watching. Thanks.
That’s great to hear Sandra - and Welcome! 😊
I’m an American and Meghan is so unpopular here that any endorsement of Biden would be an additional liability to him. Almost everyone is on to her dishonesty, even my younger sister who used to love her.
I’m American and you’re 100% correct❣️🇺🇸
Shauna’s great - thx for having her. Glad your page is growing - I love the diversity of topics.
This is one of the most civil, enjoyable conversations between Andrew, Phillip & Shauna that I’ve seen to date on all of the Podcasts i’ve viewed thus far. I wish Andrew & Phillip the very best and I’ll be going back to look at their other broadcasts. Good luck fellas!!!
We so appreciate that Rhyslyn and I hope you enjoy the earlier episodes too 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. . Shauna is so amazing. Her podcasts are so intelligent and have just the right amount of humor. She is Very relatable and connects easily. Guys of scandal mongers, you guys are great too. Looking forward to subscribing.
Thank you so much Rose!
Yes please more Shauna
Sounds like a perfect script for a horror movie. You had me entranced. Meghan must've been enraged when William finally married Catherine.
A reliably interesting and entertaining conversation. I’m a huge admirer of the podcast.
Great to hear Michelle and we want to do it again 😊
I was sad when it ended!
Thanks so much. You can see we plainly enjoyed it too.
Came on your podcast because of Shauna. I enjoyed your podcast guys! Will check in again.
Thanks Kat 😊
Great interview. Shauna is a delight and well researched. I love her channel and jumped on this podcast as a result. Great show.
Welcome Nella and thanks for checking us out! 😊
Excellent episode! I thoroughly enjoy The Vintage Read Show. She is very in depth when reviewing books.
Thanks Angela 😊
It's a great podcast.
@@andrewlownie2033 Agreed. I’ve discovered new books to read from her channel.
@@philmcraig You’re welcome. I am very intrigued by regular collaborations.
I watch Shauna from Russia! Love her channel and her personality!!! Now I have subscribed to you too!
I love Andrew Lownie! Oh I hope Shawna can interview him about his book “Traitor king” and how he researches stuff… I’m here for it. Best podcast ever!
I would love to see a regular collaboration with you and Shauna! I’m a big fan of hers, and only just becoming aware of the 2 of you, and now subscribed! 🇺🇸👍😃
Thanks so much for giving us a try !
Wonderful interview.
I enjoyed this so much.
Thanks Rosemary 😊
Fabulous podcast with Shauna. Yes please, again!
More 👏🏼 Shauna 👏🏼 Yes!👏🏼
You got it Betsy 😊
Yay! Our Shauna ✨
Yay indeed! We v much enjoyed meeting her 😊
It’s funny I probably live less than 150 kilometres from Shauna but when watching her you’re very aware she’s speaking to an international audience and you don’t mind at all and funnily she sometimes drops in little Australian idioms. So that’s our little treat - for her Australian audience
150 k is a HUGE distance for a Pom!
@@philmcraig Phil thank you for commenting love your show - yes I know re the distance but in Australia particularly Qld we measure distance colloquially in driving hours usually. So I’m on the Sunshine Coast. I think Shauna is in Brisbane. Typically we would say “how far is it?” And the answer would be “oh it’s only an hour away” - on a highway at 100km/hr. Queensland as you know (you said you’ve been to Australia a few times) is enormous. I think it’s 3000km+ northern tip down to the Qld border. And wide east west too. But there’s a lot of nothing in there. 😂 I was amazed at how close villages are together in England. It’s so beautiful over there.
@@kyliedavies1695 I remember when we lived in Sydney and friends would drive to Canberra and back in a day and think nothing of it! Tho in QLD terms that’s not a long drive. I miss Oz, especially QLD and NT where we had so many great holidays
@@philmcraig time for a return trip! Come and see the Mary Valley that’s where we are moving to
@@philmcraigit’s just about one side of Brisbane to the other!
As an American, I can assure you Meghan is character poison. No legit candidate would touch her. Shauna’s right, when contacting congress at their private phones, were 1) why do I care about a woman not from my district thinking she could lobby me, 2) how did she get my private number, and 3) laughing at her audacity “ hello, this is the Duchess of Sussex…🤣” You only need to look at her exclusion from all the A players. Named grifters and “biggest losers” didn’t help.
So many Americans saying this on here today.
Shauna is great. She is an amazing storyteller and can make me go buy books that I really wouldn´t have picked myself. I know this was a warm-up, but more talk about books :)
Next time for certain! Thanks for watching
Oh well done for getting Shauna on! She is great and her book reviews are brilliant - as are her gossips - SIP
Indeed they are and we so enjoyed meeting her. She’s getting one of our mugs to SIP from too! 😊
@@philmcraig Oh thats lovely - I look forward to seeing it on Gossip before Bed!
LOVED this episode, I love the vintage read and if you all got together once a month, it would be dynamite!
That’s the plan Nicola 😊
@@philmcraig I wait with bated breath
I enjoyed the podcast with Shauna - she is so knowledgable and engaging.
No argument here Paula😊
Shauna is the BEST! Have her on more!!
Loved this interview with Shauna! ❤🇺🇸 I hope ya’ll will have her on again.
I'm a regular on Shauna's various channels and her latest Gossip Before Bed referred her viewers to this interview on your channel. I quite enjoyed the differing viewpoints and civil discourse and will be tuning in again from the USA!
That's great to hear - we do like a good civilised disagreement!
Very much enjoyed seeing Shauna on your podcast as I enjoy her book reviews. Shame that poor Andrew couldn't get a word in, though. xxx
Excellent podcast. Thank you
Thanks for checking us out Vicky 😊
Love your show. Love Shauna. I'm from Canada. Obviously late to the party for this podcast. Will follow you, very interesting.
Thank so much Georgie - and welcome!
Love Shawna's show too.
So do we.
Love Shauna discovered and subscribe to your channel because of her ❤🇦🇺
Thanks Audrey 🇬🇧❤️🇦🇺
