Prince Andrew repeatedly attempted to rebuild his public position after stepping away from royal duties in 2019, but those efforts were firmly resisted by his older brother Charles while he was still Prince of Wales. Andrew reportedly viewed appearances at Prince Philip's memorial service, the Order of the Garter ceremony and Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee as opportunities to demonstrate that he remained part of the monarchy's public life. Charles, supported by Prince William, believed that allowing Andrew to return in any meaningful capacity would reopen the Epstein scandal and further damage the institution. Andrew was ultimately prevented from participating publicly in the Order of the Garter procession in June 2022, despite retaining membership in the order, and his wider hopes of resuming official duties went nowhere. By that point, he had already lost his military affiliations, royal patronages and permission to use the style “His Royal Highness” in an official capacity.After Queen Elizabeth's death and Charles's accession to the throne in September 2022, the barrier standing between Andrew and a comeback became even stronger. As king, Charles continued to permit his brother to attend certain private family gatherings and ceremonial occasions, but he refused to restore Andrew as a working royal or give him an official public platform. The distinction was deliberate: Andrew could remain a member of the family, but he would not again represent the Crown. Charles understood that every attempted rehabilitation risked making the monarchy appear indifferent to the allegations surrounding Andrew's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the civil lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, which Andrew settled in 2022 without admitting liability. Andrew's strategy depended heavily on the protection and affection of his mother, but once Charles became king, that avenue effectively closed, leaving his repeated comeback campaigns blocked by the same brother who had opposed them while waiting for the throne.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

He says that despite its many achievements, the Coalition in office was marked by a period of under-performance and doubts over the political system's capacity to serve the national interest.Paul looks at the factors underpinning the current crisis besetting the Coalition and the reasons why Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison all struggled to govern, in very different ways.Further informationThe Twilight of Exceptionalism: The Liberal and Conservative Era 2013 - 2022 is published by Melbourne University Press.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Prince Andrew's bond with Queen Elizabeth II was always treated as one of the great protected relationships inside the House of Windsor. He was widely described as her favorite child, and even as the Epstein scandal shredded his public standing, the Queen repeatedly appeared reluctant to fully cast him out. Reporting has described her standing by him after his disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, allowing him to step back from duties rather than immediately stripping him of everything, and later permitting him to remain Duke of York and a prince while the scandal continued to metastasize. Even in 2022, after Andrew had settled Virginia Giuffre's civil case without admitting liability, the Queen chose him to escort her into Prince Philip's memorial service — a public gesture that was widely read as motherly protection at the exact moment the institution should have been running from him.That “special relationship” is what made the Balmoral episode so revealing. In September 2020, Queen Elizabeth reportedly summoned Andrew to Balmoral for crisis talks over Jeffrey Epstein, with Andrew leaving Windsor for the Scottish Highlands to brief his mother after another summer of damaging revelations. The reports said the Queen wanted to be kept informed, that “so much” had come out, and that Andrew's Epstein ties — including Virginia Giuffre's allegations, his catastrophic BBC explanations, and his alleged lack of cooperation with U.S. investigators — were still poisoning the monarchy. The image is damning: not a disgraced royal facing full institutional accountability, but a protected son being called in for a private family reckoning with “mummy” at Balmoral. And that has always been the central problem with Andrew — the scandal was never just about his relationship with Epstein; it was about how long royal privilege softened the consequences.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The nickname “nonce” became associated with Prince Andrew following the exposure of his deep ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre that he had sexual contact with her when she was underage. In British slang, “nonce” is a highly derogatory term for someone accused of child sexual abuse, and the label stuck after Andrew's disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, where his denials — including the infamous “I don't sweat” line — made him a public laughingstock. The term spread rapidly through social media, satire, and even pop culture, culminating in the release of the punk song Prince Andrew Is a Sweaty Nonce, which mocked both his scandal and his implausible defenses. The nickname became shorthand for his fall from grace and a reflection of the public's disgust toward his alleged conduct and lack of accountability.When Prince Philip died in April 2021, Andrew maneuvered his way into the funeral despite being stripped of royal duties and public standing. Attendance was strictly limited to thirty people due to COVID restrictions, but Andrew, as Philip's son, was included as a matter of protocol — a decision that sparked backlash among both the public and palace insiders. Reports suggested Andrew was eager to use the event as a soft return to royal life, positioning himself visibly in the procession and trying to rehabilitate his image through sympathy optics.

Prince George of Battenberg, later the 2nd Marquess of Milford Haven, was the third child of Louis Battenber and Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, and was by all accounts a pretty good dude. Like his father, he set his sights on a naval career, and excelled at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, entering the Royal Navy in time to participate in World War I. His 1916 marriage to Countess Nadajda de Torby, called Nada by her friends, would become a source of significant scandal in 1934, when a former maid became a key witness in the high profile custody battle over young heiress Gloria Vanderbilt. The mail alleged on the stand that Nada and the girl's mother, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, were lovers, and the story was so salacious for its time that the judge cleared the courtroom entirely. After the family dropped "Battenberg" in favor of "Mountbatten" in 1917, at the height of anti-German sentiment in England, George Mountbatten would continue being one of the few stable presences in the life of Prince Philip, and Queen Elizabeth II, his eventual niece-in-law, was extremely fond of George. His death at the young age of 45, from bone marrow cancer, was yet another tragedy in young Philip's life, while Nada would remain close friends with Edwina Mountbatten, her sister-in-law, and the wife of Philip's next mentor, Louis Mountbatten.

After Louis Battenberg's (later Louis Mountbatten) successful campaign to marry Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, the couple set about having babies. The first of these, Princess Alice, was born in 1885, and came into the world congenitally deaf. Given the era, no particular accommodations were made for her, and while her condition caused many to underestimate her, she compensated by learning to lip-read (in several languages) and spoke English, German, French, and, later, Greek. Her marriage to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark was happy only for a while, but the pair had five children. Alice occupied herself with charity work, and when hostilities broke out between Greece and Turkey, she served as a nurse at the front line, earning the deep affection of the Greek people. During the First World War, Greece exiled the royal family, and setting up in Paris, Alice and Andrew became estranged. He would ride out the rest of his life in the south of France with his mistress, while Alice's life became strange and complicated. She fell in unrequited love, though history has not retained the identity of her affection, and developed a religious fervor. She was hospitalized in sanitariums and treated with cutting edge techniques for schizophrenia, like hitting her abdomen with X-rays to destroy her ovaries. During her convalescence, which she wanted out of, her daughters married without her knowing and her youngest son, Prince Philip, gradually grew from a child to a man, with no real connection to his mother or father. Alice spent World War II in Athens, caring for the poor and hungry, and sheltering a Jewish family.

312. The Mountbattens | Princess Alice of Battenberg

After Louis Battenberg's (later Louis Mountbatten) successful campaign to marry Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, the couple set about having babies. The first of these, Princess Alice, was born in 1885, and came into the world congenitally deaf. Given the era, no particular accommodations were made for her, and while her condition caused many to underestimate her, she compensated by learning to lip-read (in several languages) and spoke English, German, French, and, later, Greek. Her marriage to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark was happy only for a while, but the pair had five children. Alice occupied herself with charity work, and when hostilities broke out between Greece and Turkey, she served as a nurse at the front line, earning the deep affection of the Greek people. During the First World War, Greece exiled the royal family, and setting up in Paris, Alice and Andrew became estranged. He would ride out the rest of his life in the south of France with his mistress, while Alice's life became strange and complicated. She fell in unrequited love, though history has not retained the identity of her affection, and developed a religious fervor. She was hospitalized in sanitariums and treated with cutting edge techniques for schizophrenia, like hitting her abdomen with X-rays to destroy her ovaries. During her convalescence, which she wanted out of, her daughters married without her knowing and her youngest son, Prince Philip, gradually grew from a child to a man, with no real connection to his mother or father. Alice spent World War II in Athens, caring for the poor and hungry, and sheltering a Jewish family. When the Nazi occupiers came to search her home, she leaned into her deafness, pretending not to understand what they wanted until they were so bamboozled they left empty handed.

While royal houses are often insular and even incestuous (at least at the cousin-marrying level), new blood does manage to enter those gene pools from time to time. Meet the Mountbattens! The family's story begins in Russia, circa 1850, where the orphaned daughter of a Polish general named Julia von Hauke was serving in the household of Maria Alexandrovna, future wife of future Tsar Alexander II. Maria's brother, Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine, fell hard for the common-born Julia, a romance that was seemingly halted by Emperor Nicholas I, who wanted Prince Alexander to marry his niece. Unable to shake off their love, the two eloped, which left Alexander persona non grata in the Russian court. Returning to his native Hesse, Prince Alexander's brother, Grand Duke Louis III of Hesse-Darmstadt, granted Julia the title of Countess of Battenberg, named for a town in the north of the duchy, and later, Princess of Battenberg. But Europe's royal houses have both a long memory and an enormous snobbery, meaning that when Alexander and Julia's sons, The Battenberg Boys, began pursuing the granddaughters of England's Queen Victoria for marriage a generation later, the courtships - successful and unsuccessful - were rife with intrigue and scandal. But it was the marriage of Louis Battenberg to Queen Vic's granddaughter Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine that would eventually transform the family from a tainted, common-born Battenberg lineage to the British Mountbattens, the house of Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Prince Andrew's Epstein disgrace reportedly created a deep strain inside the royal family because Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip appeared to respond to the crisis from very different emotional positions. The Queen was widely portrayed as a mother who, despite the public humiliation and institutional damage, remained personally protective of Andrew for as long as she could. She allowed him to retain certain symbols of status for years after the Epstein scandal had already become a public catastrophe, and even after his disastrous 2019 BBC interview forced him to step back from public duties. Prince Philip, by contrast, was often described as far less sentimental about the damage Andrew had done to the monarchy, viewing the scandal as a disgrace that threatened the dignity, discipline, and public standing of the Crown.That difference reportedly produced a rift because Andrew was not merely dealing with a private embarrassment; he had dragged the monarchy into the orbit of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Virginia Giuffre's allegations, federal scrutiny, and public outrage over elite impunity. For Philip, the scandal represented the kind of self-inflicted humiliation that the royal family could not afford, especially because Andrew's explanations made the situation worse rather than better. For the Queen, the issue was more complicated because Andrew was still her son, and that maternal loyalty seemed to clash with the cold institutional reality that he had become a liability. In the end, the Epstein revelations exposed not only Andrew's judgment, but also the painful divide between family loyalty and the survival instincts of the monarchy itself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Royal biographer Hugo Vickers, author of over 20 books, joins Secrets of Statecraft for a fascinating conversation about Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III, and the hidden diplomatic power of monarchy. Drawing on decades of access, research, and personal experience, Vickers explains how Elizabeth II used restraint, duty, and quiet persuasion to help heal old wounds—from Germany and Ireland to the Commonwealth—while remaining above politics. Vickers also shares remarkable stories about Prince Philip, Diana, Harry and Meghan, Margaret Thatcher, and why the Netflix series The Crown is more fiction than fact. The conversation is a candid look at the personalities, crises, and statecraft that shaped the modern royal family.

How to Find Your Purpose in Retirement

Podcast 412 Continuing my series on designing the “perfect” retirement, this week, I share some insights on one of the most common fears of retirement, that of losing your purpose.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Throughout our lives, there is usually some goal or purpose we are attempting to achieve. When at school, it's to pass our exams so we can go on to university or to get a job in a specific field. When we begin our careers, we are often driven to work hard to get promoted. Or at least that's how the theory goes. The trouble is, if you step back from these “goals”, they seem to be pushed onto us by our parents, society and our peers. It's rare for anyone to step away from this blueprinted path and set their own course. In the past, people who did not follow the well-worn path would have been politely described as “eccentric”, or impolitely “weird”. I remember back in 2002, when I quit law and flew to Korea to teach English, my friends and colleagues could not understand why I would give up a career in law to teach English. Yet, my heart was not in law. It always felt wrong. If I am being honest, I believe my motivation for studying law and working in a law firm was purely about status and about living a life that other people wanted me to live. Coming to Korea turned out to be the best thing I've ever done. I discovered my purpose: to help other people, and I found the medium through which I could do that: teaching. It's what I still do today. I help people through teaching. In our working lives, it's easy to have a purpose. It might not be our true purpose, but climbing the promotion ladder does seem to give us a purpose. How high up the ladder can we climb? Yet, chasing the next promotion is never going to be a life's purpose. It might be a career goal, but ultimately, it will end at some point, and that ending point will unlikely be within your control. I'm reminded of one of England's top lawyers, Lord Jonathan Sumption. Lord Sumption was a celebrated barrister, rising to the top of the legal profession when he became a judge at the Supreme Court. The mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court judges in England is 70, so when Lord Sumption turned 70, he retired from the legal profession. However, his real passion was never for law. That was his career, and he was very good at it. His real passion was for medieval history, and today Lord Sumption is regarded as one of the leading historians of that era. He continues to write books and talk on the subject. Tony Robbins talks about the six human needs in his brilliant Unleash the Power Within seminar. These human needs are: The need for: Certainty - the certainty that you can avoid pain and gain pleasure, and the need for uncertainty and variety - the need for the unknown and new stimuli. The need for significance - the feeling of being unique, important, special or needed and then the need for connection and love - a strong feeling of closeness to someone or something And then there are the two areas that when we are young, we often dismiss, largely because we are so caught up in our own lives. They are the need to contribute and the need to grow. When I first did the associated exercise related to these needs, I did just that. My top two were the need for certainty and the need for significance. (Typical for someone who creates content, funnily enough) I dismissed the needs to contribute and grow. Yet now, I see that these two needs are the source of our purpose. All living beings need to grow. When we stop growing, we start dying. Just look at what happens to muscles when we stop using them. They weaken and whither. That's your body doing its job. It wants to conserve energy, and if you're not using an energy-expensive muscle, it will weaken the muscle. That is just another reason it's important to make sure you do your resistance training every day. (Or at least three to four times a week). Yet growth is not just about the physical; it's also about the mental. The need to be continuously learning. This is where our hobbies come in. Hobbies such as learning languages, geology, car mechanics, medieval history, and problem-solving keep our brains active. Our brains continue to grow as we learn. A good reason not to try to figure everything out by using customer service or Chat GPT. Use your problem-solving skills to figure it out. And the contribution is where we get our sense of fulfilment. Passing on our knowledge and what we have learned from our life experiences by teaching others. When I worked in law, it always felt like it was just about billable time. How much could we charge the client? I tried to convince myself that I was helping people, but my bosses were not interested in that part. They just wanted to know how much I had billed that week. When I began teaching English to adults in Korea, that changed. It did not matter how many students I had in my classes. I got paid the same. Now I felt I was contributing to someone's success. Something changed in me, too. I felt excited to go to work every morning. I'd never felt that before, and it took me a while to figure out what that was. It was because each day I got the chance to help people improve their lives and career prospects, and it was a joy to see their progress. If you were to build a retirement around growth and contribution, you would soon find that your purpose becomes clear. For most of us, our purpose is unlikely to be as grand as bringing world peace or finding a solution to global warming. For some, maybe, but for most of us, not likely. Purpose is often much smaller than that. It could be to raise and support your children so they can navigate through their worlds with positivity and pragmatism. For others, it could be, like me, to teach as many people as I can to be better organised and less stressed. The late Prince Philip, who died five years ago, told his daughter, Princess Anne, that to find your purpose, you should find something that you feel you can make an impact on. For Prince Philip, that meant conserving and protecting the planet, as well as helping young people be active through his Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. He was talking about conservation and climate change in the 1950s, well before it became fashionable to do so. He was a founding member of the World Wildlife Fund, wrote multiple books on the subject, and was active in climate science. For Princess Anne, it has been, and remains so today, saving children in war-torn environments, animal welfare and hearing dogs for the deaf. Which then leads us to the second problem here. When we retire, it can be very tempting to fill our calendars with all sorts of work in the name of good causes. Don't do that. You are not going to be able to have an impact on everything. Instead, you want to look at what you are genuinely interested in. Prince Philip gave a 19-year-old Princess Anne some sage advice when she asked him what she should get involved in. He told her that she would be inundated with offers to be a patron of this or that. He advised her that she could never be a patron of everything, so she should choose those in which she had a genuine interest. Ron Dennis, the former owner of the McLaren Formula 1 team, retired from Formula 1 in 2017 and dedicated his retirement to helping young people achieve their aspirations and to become role models for future generations. His experience of working with people like Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Kimi Räikkönen gave him the knowledge and experience to help young sportsmen and women achieve their dreams. There's likely to be something that you have an interest in. If that can be coupled with your knowledge and experience, then you have something you can contribute, and that, in turn, will give you a sense of purpose. In many ways, the challenge is not about finding purpose; it is narrowing it down to the one or two things that we feel we can have an impact on. The same challenge we faced when in the corporate world is still there in retirement: overcommitting. This is why it's important not to rush into things when you transition. Explore, think, test, and experience by all means, but set a deadline for refining your activities into something more manageable. One of the wonderful things about the world we live in today is that we can share our ideas and experiences by writing a blog, recording a podcast, or even starting a YouTube channel. The great thing about these avenues is that they need consistency to grow. A weekly podcast does far better than a podcast that rarely adds episodes. This helps you to bring structure into your weeks. You can set aside a day or two each week for your content production. As your blog, podcast, or YouTube channel grows, that in itself gives you a sense of purpose, particularly if it is contributing to making an impact on something you have an interest in. So, if you are struggling to find your purpose, first, don't overthink it. It's rarely about solving the world's problems; it's more about helping people to better themselves, and as someone with the experience you have, you are in a very strong position to be able to help. Make sure it is something you are interested in, something you enjoy reading about and something you like talking to other people about. If you wake up excited about doing something related to this, then you've found your purpose. One of the most inspiring stories I heard about was about two Canadian gentlemen who loved skiing. Each year, they would go skiing together with their families. When they retired, they both decided to take their ski instructor certification and become ski instructors. And that is what they do today. They are both qualified ski instructors, and each winter they spend their days teaching people to ski. This keeps them fit and strong and brings an incredible social experience. I hope this has helped. If you have any questions around your retirement or impending retirement, let me know. I'm happy to answer your questions in this podcast. And don't forget, I have recently launched a brand new programme called Designing the Perfect Retirement. This programme sets out a blueprint for you to create a retirement you find fulfilling and inspiring, and that keeps you fit, healthy and active. In addition, this programme gives you access to a community where you can share experiences and advice. I will put the details for this programme in the show notes. It just remains for me now to wish all a very, very productive week.

It's the week in review on Palace Intrigue, and what a week it was. Easter confirmed the shape of the slimmed-down monarchy — Charles, Camilla, William, Catherine and the children front and centre, with the York family conspicuously absent. Andrew's situation deepened on multiple fronts: new claims about a "party bag" evening at Sandringham in 2000, reports of Charles taking near-daily calls out of fear Andrew could "go rogue," a mystery woman, a caravan, and curious tourists treating Norfolk like a theme park. Sarah Ferguson is sofa-surfing, running through three phones, and reportedly furious at Camilla. King Charles confirmed his Washington state visit for April 28th, with Deep Crown laying out why the diplomatic tightrope is even tighter than it looks — and why a Harry reunion was always going to be a logistical non-starter. Speaking of Harry: "movie snuggles" is now in the public record, Meghan is fuming, and the Netflix deal is said to be effectively over. Australia awaits. New royal biographies reveal Queen Elizabeth's near-breakdown in 1969, her quietly knowing final summer, and Prince Philip drinking a solitary beer on the last night of his life.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

Podcast 411 Last July, I had a conversation with my father-in-law. He was scared and worried. He was due to retire at the end of 2026 (now only a few months away), and he had no idea what to do. It was that conversation that inspired me to dig deep into what it takes to build a solid, meaningful and joyful retirement. That's what we're going to look into today.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. I'm in my mid-fifties now, a time when many people start to think about what they will do when they walk out of their workplace for the last time and enter the next chapter of their lives. It's a scary time for many people. Yes, there's a lot to look forward to: being able to design your own days and go on trips whenever you want, without needing to submit a holiday request form. But there's an underlying sense of anxiety, will I be bored? Will I lose my health? Will I be lonely? This is why giving some thought to your retirement before you retire can bring you a sense of relief and purpose. But what do you want to do? As the productivity saying goes, “You can do anything but not everything”. So one of the first things to do when you begin thinking about your retirement is ask that question: What do I want to do? And this is important. My grandfather was a farmer all his working life. He had a dairy farm, and each morning at 5:00 am, he would wake up, bring the cows into the dairy and start the milking for the day. He did this for over forty years, seven days a week. Farming is not so much work; it's a way of life. When my grandfather was not milking, he was repairing machines and fences, and doing all the other odd jobs that needed to be done. At the age of 60, he retired. His plan was to travel, something he's never been able to do, enjoy a little gardening and take life easy. That didn't happen. For someone who had been active all his life, not having to get up early in the morning, come rain or shine, and now being able to stay in bed and have a leisurely morning reading the newspapers was a temptation that was hard to resist. And so he stopped. He didn't do very much, and within two years, he was dead. He was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, and while the operation to remove the cancer was successful, he developed complications and passed away a few weeks after the operation. I was only 12 years old when he died, and it was the first family death I experienced. It was a horrible experience. I was close to my grandfather. He was a lovely person. It woke me up to the frailties of a human life at an early age. Aunties and uncles often said he died because he retired. I was too young to understand that at the time, but I remember a friend of my mother's later once telling me that the biggest killer is your armchair. That person was the famous international show jumper, Harvey Smith. Harvey is 87 years old now. When he retired from show jumping in 1990, he didn't sit around in his armchair. His dream was to build a horse racing stable. And together with his wife, Sue, that is what they did. In 2013, Harvey and Sue trained the horse Auroras Encore, which won the prestigious Grand National horse race at Aintree in Liverpool that year. I know many of my non-British listeners may not have heard of the Grand National, but anyone in the UK will know it is one of the biggest races on the horse racing calendar. But not only that, Harvey's written at least four books, and he still doesn't spend much time in his armchair. If you want to hear Harvey's words of wisdom, there is a superb YouTube video in which he and Sue are interviewed. I'll put that video link in the show notes. Harvey is a true Yorkshireman with the wonderful Yorkshire wit. Retirement is not the end. It's the start of a new chapter in your life. You have built up a wealth of knowledge and experience and likely collected quite a few interests along the way. Retirement is your time to use that knowledge and work on the things that interest you. So what interests you? I've had a love of bonsai trees since I was in my twenties. I was probably inspired by the film The Karate Kid. While I have a couple of trees now, I don't have the time to properly learn to nurture and grow them. However, when the time comes for me to slow down and retire, one thing I will do is spend a couple of weeks in Japan learning from the masters. When I was researching retirement for my father-in-law, I came to see that there are three pillars you need to ensure are built into any plans you may have. The first is mental. This does not mean mental health as it is discussed today; it is about learning. Learning something new. That could be a foreign language, art history, or how to train racehorses. It doesn't matter so much what you learn; it is about learning something challenging. Something to get your brain around. Something that will make you think. The dangers today are AI and the loss of critical thinking. In retirement, you do not want to lose the ability to think critically. Go out and buy the textbooks, enrol in courses, listen to podcasts and do the hard work of learning. Keep your brain active. It's this that will keep you sharp and cognitive. As the saying goes, “if you don't use it, you lose it.” The second pillar is physical. After we reach 30, we start to lose muscle mass. Again, it's the “if you don't use it, you lose it” problem. Unfortunately, for most of us, around thirty, we get chained to a desk and a computer, and we use our arms to help us get out of a chair. We stop using most of our muscles. This weakens our strength, and it is gradual. Hardly noticeable. So we don't see the damage we are doing to ourselves. When we reach our mid-fifties, that muscle loss accelerates. We can lose as much as 10% of our muscle mass over five years. It's scary. The consequence of this is that the risk of falling rises, and one of the biggest killers of older Adults is the complications of dealing with the injuries caused by falling. Broken hips, legs and shoulders. Not at all nice. By adding in a daily exercise session that focuses on your core strength—stomach, legs and ankles, and doing some cardio such as walking up hills to the point where you become out of breath, is all you need. Thirty minutes a day. That's it. If you add in some stretching exercises later in the day, you are building a natural defence against one of the biggest underlying killers among older people. Your muscles are your natural defence against many lifestyle-related diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and gout! Yes, gout is making a comeback. A disease prevalent in the 16th and 17th centuries is making a comeback because of how we live today. Build in some exercise every day. If you want a simple exercise programme, the one that the late Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, used every day from his time in the Royal Navy, then look up the 5BX. Look for the original Royal Canadian Air Force instructional video on YouTube. It's brilliant and very quaint. If you want to know how effective this exercise programme is, look at Prince Philip at his final public engagement. He was 97 years old then, and you can see from the way he walked just how fit he was. The final pillar is social. When we are at work, there is a natural connection with our coworkers. There's a camaraderie and a social aspect to working with other people. We may not like our coworkers, but there's still the connection. When we retire, that disappears, and it's important to replace it with new connections. However, there's a danger here. It can be tempting to replace all those meetings on our work calendars with volunteer work in retirement. Don't do this. Go back to asking yourself what you want to do. Hopefully, what you want to do excites you. If you are replacing those work connections with volunteer work you do not find interesting, you will soon find yourself swamped. Not what retirement is all about. Be very strict about what you will get involved in. Be clear about what you want out of this chapter of your life. Perhaps some of the hobbies you try will bring with them exciting connections. Imagine how many new people Harvey Smith has met through horse racing. But do not rush into it. Take your time. This period of your life is about you and what you want from it. If you are worried about retirement, or are retired and have found yourself overwhelmed by all the activities you have embarked on, I have just launched a brand-new programme to help you. Ever since I started writing about time management and productivity ten years ago, I have had many people ask me to put together something for retirees. It was my conversation with my father-in-law last year that started my research. And that research uncovered some of the most inspiring stories of people I have come across. There was Jack Weber, a retired dentist who wrote a memoir of his life and published it on Amazon at the age of 100. And then there was the gentleman who inspired me when I was fifteen years old. I was a competitive track and field athlete back then, and this gentleman was in his 80s. He would be one of the first people to turn up to training every Tuesday and Thursday evening. When he was younger, he was a sprinter. Now, in his 80s, he ran marathons. Although he was in his 80s, he looked about 65. I remember saying to myself that when I am 80, I want to be doing that. And that has been and still is a huge motivation for me. I've never stopped running and exercising for an extended period. I have tried to keep myself reasonably fit throughout my working life so that when I do finally retire, I will have the strength to run those marathons. Watch out, London, New York, Tokyo and Paris. I'm going to be running your streets in twenty-five years' time! If you are interested in this programme, I will put the details in the show notes. This programme will teach you about the three pillars, the pitfalls to avoid, and how to manage your calendar so you are not overwhelming yourself. In addition, by joining, you get free access to a community of like-minded people where you can share your experiences and learn from others who are enjoying this fantastic chapter of your life. Thank you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.
