This week Phil is delighted to welcome super well-informed writer Valentine Low back onto the podcast. Valentine has a new book out this week on the relationship between the royal family and British governments. It's full of juicy and revelatory stories - such as Queen Elizabeth intervening in the Scottish independence referendum, and a teenage Queen Camilla fighting off an attacker with a well aimed shoe!Before that Phil discusses Prince Harry's recent visit to Britain, his meeting with King Charles and rumours that he might make a film about his mother - including allegations about her death not being an accident - perhaps in competition with another film to be made by Prince William! What's going on?Valentine's book is available here in our own bookshop...https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/power-and-the-palace-the-inside-story-of-the-monarchy-and-10-downing-street-valentine-low/a714526ec1f0279e?ean=9781035418817&next=t&aid=12054&next=tSeveral Australia listeners have asked for a full list of where Phil is speaking there in October.
