Podcast appearances and mentions of king edward viii

Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein are being framed as one of the most serious crises the British monarchy has faced in modern history, with some arguing the damage rivals—or even exceeds—the fallout from King Edward VIII's abdication. Unlike that earlier scandal, which unfolded in a very different media landscape, Andrew's situation has played out under constant global scrutiny, with graphic allegations, civil litigation, and years of reporting keeping the story alive. The result has been a prolonged reputational bleed for the royal family, not just a one-time shock, with Andrew forced out of public life, stripped of titles, and effectively erased from official duties while the controversy continues to resurface.At the same time, the situation has exposed deeper issues inside the monarchy, particularly how concerns about Andrew were handled long before the scandal exploded publicly. There are claims that warning signs were ignored and that efforts to shield him only made the eventual fallout worse, feeding the perception of an institution more concerned with self-preservation than accountability. The ongoing damage isn't just about Andrew personally—it raises broader questions about leadership, judgment, and whether the monarchy can adapt to modern expectations of transparency, especially as each new revelation drags the story back into the spotlight.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's links to Epstein scandal is more of a crisis for royals than abdication of Edward VIII, biographer Andrew Lownie claims | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

I veckans Extra pratar vi om den ur det brittiska kungahuset som kanske gjort det största sartoriella avtrycket i modern tid. Hertigen av Windsor som blev hans officiella titel efter att ha abdikerat från tronen för kärleken till amerikanske Wallis Simpson 1936. Hans stil kan på många sätt jämföras med Gianni Agnelli i hur han mixade mönster, material och excentriska inslag med det klassiska genom hela sitt liv. Vår favorit: Hertigens dubbelknäppta dubbelknäppta smoking i sammet med sjalslag från italienska Brioni. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The royals can seem like a bunch of people with too much money but with good intentions for their nation and their people. The scandals involving Charles and Diana . . and Harry and Megan are great tabloid fodder. But the 1936 abdication of King Edward VIII had a much darker backstory. It turns out he had a deeply close relationship with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis during World War II, and the royals had to do everything in their power to bury it. Feel free to DM me if you have a story you’d like me to cover . . on Facebook it’s Patty Steele and on Instagram Real Patty Steele.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hotels represent nations, hosting visiting monarchs, politicians, and diplomats. Hotels underpin global networks of travel and communication, on which national and international prosperity have increasingly depended since the end of the First World War. Yet hotels are also places where people can be anonymous; where murderers and thieves mix with adulterers and con artists; and where prejudice finds expression in who is refused access, and in the forms of 'service' provided by staff in the lowest-paid roles. The Secret Life of the Hotel: Sex, Crime and Protest in British Guesthouses Since 1918 (Bloomsbury, 2026) by Professor Eloise Moss is the first book to uncover how hotels entrenched inequality, prejudice, and exploitation in Britain's tourist sector, and in wider society and culture, during the 20th century.Professor Moss delves into hotel murders, swindles, and scandals, including the history of Agatha Christie's disappearance in 1926, the 'Margate Hotel Murder', and the divorce of Wallis Simpson in 1936 so she could marry King Edward VIII. Professor Moss's exploration of the hotel also shines a light on the fight against the colour bar, the formation of the British civil rights movement, and the visit to London of Martin Luther King Jr.The Secret Life of the Hotel uniquely tells the story of Britain's relationship with the world during the 20th century through the prism of its hotels, showing how their infrastructure and 'welcome' had profound consequences for women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ citizens, and people with disabilities. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

They said she'd mastered a Chinese sex technique that could "make a matchstick feel like a Havana cigar". Top Nazi Joachim Von Ribbentrop allegedly sent her 17 carnations for each night they slept together. After three botched facelifts, she became a bed-bound recluse scammed by her evil French lawyer. Wallis Simpson – the woman King Edward VIII famously abdicated the crown for in 1936 – was no stranger to wild rumours: from exotic bedroom secrets to her not-so-secret love of fascism. But how much of the gossip was actually true? In this week's ShortHand, we're uncovering the real story of 'That Woman': the scandalous American divorcee who threatened to topple the British crown forever. --Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / InstagramSources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com

In this episode, we explore the dramatic love story between King Edward VIII and the twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson - a romance that shook the British monarchy to its core. Set against the backdrop of rising tensions in 1930s Europe, the scandal divided the government, the public and the royal family. And ultimately, Edward chose love over the crown.To hear all about this, we're joined by Kate Williams, a historian and broadcaster who specialises in Royal history. She unpacks how their romance spiralled into a constitutional crisis.Produced by Beth Donaldson and James Hickmann, and edited by Dougal Patmore.Dan Snow's History Hit is now available on YouTube!

The latest batch of Ireland's State Papers have been released, lifting the lid on confidential files from years gone by. One standout piece of information concerns arguably the greatest crisis ever faced by the British royal family – the abdication of King Edward VIII in December 1936. But what role did Ireland and Éamon de Valera play in the fallout of that monumental event? And why did the UK government want it kept secret for 90 years? Host: Fionnán Sheahan Guest: Ralph Riegel  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jarek Berga - October 12th 2025 Jesus calls us to cut off what will destroy us and humble ourselves like children. This week, Eric continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 18:1–9, where Jesus confronts our obsession with greatness and status. Using vivid imagery about cutting off limbs and gouging out eyes, Jesus invites us to take sin seriously—not by mutilation, but by transformation. Eric unpacks how the way of the kingdom is not about achieving significance but embracing insignificance, humility, and dependence. Through personal reflection and the story of King Edward VIII, he reminds us that we all have “letters” from Jesus warning us to address what could otherwise destroy us. True greatness comes not from power or perfection, but from learning to be lowly, repentant, and teachable like a child.

On todays show Maddie, breaks down  the legal case Goss vs. Lopez, a 1974 civil rights case where students were suspended without due process. The majority ruled that students have property and liberty interests protected by the 14th Amendment, requiring due process for suspensions of 10 days or less. The dissent argued that 10 days is de minimis. The case highlighted the shift from principals handling discipline to legal proceedings. The conversation also touched on current events, including Trump's social media activities, Bono's political involvement, and the impact of California's policies on national issues. The discussion covered various political and social issues, including the chaos in government, the impact of tariffs, and the potential military actions against Iran. Glenn Cox and others debated the role of chaos in economic systems, with libertarians seen as promoting chaos to prevent government control. The conversation also touched on the Democratic Party's strategies, the rise of AOC, and the challenges of homelessness in California. Additionally, they discussed the complexities of tariff laws, the potential for a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, and the implications of Trump's foreign policies. The group also mentioned the impact of social media on political discourse and the trolling tactics used by Trump. The conversation revolves around the critique of two movies, one about King Edward VIII and another titled "Leave the World Behind," which was deemed poorly made. They discuss the impressive performance of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller in hostile interviews, suggesting he might be a robot. The discussion shifts to the debt rescission clock, explaining the process by which the administration can request Congress to rescind unspent funds, with a 45-day timer and a 25-day period for House action. They also touch on Tesla's new home delivery service, which has started testing in Austin. Don't Miss IT!

A Royal Train carrying Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), derailed near Jarnadup, Western Australia, during his Australian tour. The accident occurred when the rails spread, causing the last two carriages, including the Prince's, to overturn down a low embankment. Remarkably, no one was injured, though the event temporarily trapped the Prince and his entourage in the overturned carriage. This incident, though potentially perilous, endeared the Prince even more to Australians. Known affectionately as the “Digger Prince,” his poise and quick wit during the ordeal reinforced his popularity with the public, already captivated by his tour of the country. The event remains a notable chapter in the history of royal visits to Australia, reflecting both the challenges of travel and the Prince's grace under pressure.Join Holly & Matthew as they explore the derailment, the tour, and the wider context of royal visits to Australia.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

When defenders of the British royal family scrounged around for dirt on Wallis Simpson, the divorced U.S.-born fiancee of King Edward VIII, they often highlighted her year spent in China—often sharing scurrilous, and poorly-sourced–if not entirely unfounded–details of her time there. China historian Paul French tries to set the record straight with Her Lotus Year: China, the Roaring Twenties, and the Making of Wallis Simpson (St. Martins: 2024). Simpson managed to have a jam-packed year, with time spent in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing, as different warlords fought for control of China. Paul French was born in London and lived and worked in Shanghai for many years. His book Midnight in Peking was a New York Times Bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. He received the Mystery Writers' of America Edgar award for Best Fact Crime and a Crime Writers' Association (UK) Dagger award for non-fiction. Both Midnight in Peking and his latest book City of Devils: A Shanghai Noir are currently in development for film.

The American socialite Wallis Simpson is best known as the wife of former British king Edward VIII. When they announced their intention to marry, her status as a divorcée (and an American) caused a constitutional crisis that led to Edward's abdication in 1936. But long before that, Simpson's adventures had led her to spend a year in interwar China, from 1924-25, while fleeing her abusive first husband and allegedly transporting U.S. diplomatic documents. Later maligned by the British press for this "lotus year," the truth of Simpson's China sojourn reveals much about the chaotic state of the nation in the 1920s, and attitudes toward it — and foreigners living there — from outside.Our guest on the podcast this month is Paul French, a British writer who lived in Shanghai in the 1990s and 2000s, where he ran a market research firm. He is the author of several books on modern Chinese history, including the bestselling Midnight in Peking (Viking, 2012) and City of Devils (Picador, 2018). His latest title, Her Lotus Year: China, the Roaring Twenties, and the Making of Wallis Simpson (St Martin's Press, 2024), tells the full story of Simpson's China year, long before her tryst with King Edward VIII caused a scandal worthy of Harry and Megan. French talked to us about the political backdrop to this personal drama, what it shows about the status of foreigners in China, and the state of the “China book” in general.The China Books Podcast is a companion of China Books Review, a project of Asia Society's Center on U.S.-China Relations and The Wire, a digital business platform that also publishes The Wire China.

In the first two episodes, we tackle one of the most controversial women in English royal history, Wallis Simpson. Technically not a consort, but her role in the Abdication Crisis and marrying the (former) King Edward VIII makes hers a fascinating and pertinent part of the story. In this episode, we tell her full life story, from growing up in Baltimore to marrying the king and having tea with Hitler. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We have two scandalous stories this week, but on a similar theme.Firstly our friend Dai Davies - former top royal protection officer - returns to the podcast to talk about how his former colleagues in the Metropolitan police have been dealing with royal scandals recently, and especially their interest (or lack of!) in certain allegations involving Prince Andrew, the disgraced Duke of York, and his past life as a trade envoy. Are we really all equal before the law in modern Britain?Then Andrew and Phil are joined by American fingerprint expert Pat Wertheim to discuss one of the greatest unsolved royal mysteries of all time - the murder of multi millionaire Harry Oakes in the Bahamas during the Second World War, whilst the Duke of Windsor - former King Edward VIII - is governor of the island. Is the Duke, along with others close to the case, involved in unusual financial dealings? Why did he treat the murder investigation in such an unorthodox manner? And why was an innocent man almost sent to the gallows whilst the obvious suspect walked clean away?It's a colourful tale worthy of Agatha Christie and, although the mystery has still not been solved, Pat and Andrew share their theories!You can buy books from the authors we feature here in our own Scandal Mongers bookshop - along with thousands more.https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/scandalmongersLooking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you'd like to get scandalous with?

During World War II, a new medium gave people on the homefront the kind of insight into the frontlines they had lacked during World War I: Radio. This relatively new technology enabled political figures such as Winston Churchill to warn of the dangers on Nazism even before the war. But radiowaves are not confined by national boundaries and the British were not the only ones to see the usefulness of this technology during war time. In 1939, listeners in the UK began hearing seemingly British yet unwelcome messages over the radio. In this episode I explore, Lord Haw Haw and the Nazi's radio propaganda machine.

Diese relativ neue Technologie ermöglichte es Politikern wie Winston Churchill, bereits vor dem Krieg vor den Gefahren des Nationalsozialismus zu warnen. Aber Radiowellen sind nicht an nationale Grenzen gebunden und die Briten waren nicht die Einzigen, die den Nutzen dieser Technologie während des Krieges erkannten. Im Jahr 1939 begannen Hörer im Vereinigten Königreich, scheinbar britische, aber unwillkommene Botschaften über das Radio zu hören.
