Podcast appearances and mentions of Queen mother

Judy steps inside the wondrous Madrid atelier of Ana Lamata, maker of exquisite bespoke hats and a world many may have thought was a distant memory. Surrounded by hat boxes, hand dyed ribbons, linings and trims and her collection of traditional millinery tools, Ana tells Judy how her love of wearing and collecting hats first inspired her to leave behind a promising career as an art historian to become a professional milliner, learning her craft from millinery legend, Rose Cory, milliner to the late Queen Mother.  This is a wonderful tale of reinvention told through the lens of a true 21st century artisan.Her deliberate change of career direction speaks to Ana's belief in the power and eloquence of clothing and specifically, headwear to address the social history, art, and culture in which they were created in their very own way. In this sense, every Ana Lamata hat is an important artefact, not just for the wearer but for the connoisseur and historian. For Ana, every hat tells a precious story. Show Notes: Ana LamataAna Lamata Instagram// Hosted by Judy Stewart // Produced by Caroline Hughes for Feast Collective// Sound Engineer: Jason Millhouse //// Instagram: @_unpaused // Website: www.unpaused.net

The Queen Mother of Kwahu Obomeng, Nana Yaa Kwei II, has issued a strong appeal to food vendors, bar operators, and commercial drivers, urging them not to exploit the Easter festivities by increasing prices unfairly.

Amina sits down with Alaya Dannu, a doctoral candidate and lifelong dreamer, to explore ancestral memory, the Queen Mother tradition, and the power of matriarchal consciousness.From divine dream visitations to being guided by fire, wind, and water, Alaya shares how she is living her dissertation through elemental messages, global travel, and deep spiritual transformation. This episode touches on reclaiming ancient matriarchal wisdom, redefining ancestry, dream journaling, and the healing role of lucid awareness.Alaya unpacks what it means to be chosen by the ancestors, how dreams are tied to earth-based wisdom, and how spiritual names carry the weight of purpose. We also dive into cycles, dreams as infrastructure, and how to build a new world through the lens of the divine feminine.

Send us a textMike McCartney opens the door to his extraordinary life with warmth, humor, and profound insight in this captivating conversation. The renowned photographer, musician, and cultural storyteller shares intimate tales of growing up in post-war Liverpool, revealing how losing his mother at age twelve pushed him toward creativity as both salvation and expression.With classic Liverpudlian wit, Mike recounts discovering photography through a failed attempt to capture "giant seagulls" with the family box camera, leading to a self-taught journey that would eventually see his work acquired by the National Portrait Gallery. Parallel to this, we hear the origin story of The Scaffold and their hit "Thank You Very Much," which became an unexpected royal favorite (though the Queen Mother might have misheard a Liverpool FC reference as a tribute to herself).Between laughter and occasional moments of raw emotion, Mike illuminates the cultural revolution of the 1960s, describing how art confronted class divisions and opened minds. His stories meander through chance encounters with figures like Marlon Brando, Salvador Dalí's surrealist influence, and pivotal moments that altered his trajectory—including breaking his arm, which led to his brother Paul taking over his drum kit.The conversation deepens as Mike reflects on legacy, suggesting that bringing joy to others through creative work may be our most meaningful contribution. His philosophy emerges: seek what you love, embrace serendipity, and never underestimate the power of gentle subversion—like hiding anti-war sentiment in a cheerful pop song that reached number four in the charts.Discover the remarkable story behind the man who documented a generation while helping shape its soundtrack. Mike's upcoming limited edition photography book "Mike McCartney's Early Liverpool" and the Scaffold box set releasing in April promise to further preserve this vital cultural legacy.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

We finish our WHM celebrations with an artist that is never talked about. Maybe it's due to her not getting traction off her one studio album? Maybe the message fell on deaf ears?

Despite some gains, women remain significantly underrepresented in decision-making positions – especially at senior levels of the judiciary worldwide.Judge Angela Attachie, from Ghana, is both a Circuit Court Judge and the Queen Mother of Ho Bankoe – a dual role that makes her as a key figure in community governance and social development.Speaking to UN News' Pia Blondel, she talks about her journey to the courtroom, her experience as a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field, and what needs to change for more women to rise in leadership positions.

Yaara stands as a lone, lush oasis in its part of Ghana. And yet, women in the town have to walk six miles every day to fetch water. Despite pressure from surrounding communities, Yaara has decided against cutting their trees to make a profit by producing charcoal. Why? They're holding out hope they can bring their water access back. Community members, including Chief Nana Yaw Sumaa, the Queen Mother, and local farmers like Aisha Gbinda, share their insights on why they hope protecting the forest will do exactly that: help their rivers flow again. This episode was written and reported by Justin Fiacconi and hosted by Ivy Prosper.

Ever wonder why Catholics seem to talk about Mary a lot? That’s exactly what Brandon from San Diego asked Patrick Madrid. And wow, did Patrick deliver a solid, scripture-packed response! Brandon’s Big Question Brandon is exploring the Catholic faith but has been wrestling with devotion to Mary. He’s come to terms with the idea of praying with saints, but the amount of Marian prayers has him a little uneasy. He described it as a "food pyramid of prayers" where Mary seems to take up, like, 90% of the plate. Patrick’s Response Patrick assured Brandon that Catholics do focus way more on God, but Mary has a unique and biblical role. He laid it out like this: The Bible Is All About Mary She’s everywhere in the Gospels! From the Annunciation to the Visitation to Jesus' childhood, His first miracle (yep, at her request), and standing at the Cross. Even at Pentecost, she’s there. God clearly wanted her to play a huge role in salvation history. Jesus Honored Mary, So We Do Too Jesus spent 30 years with Mary before even starting His ministry. In John 17, Jesus talks about sharing His glory. If He honors His mother, shouldn’t we? Catholics Aren’t Worshipping Mary Big misconception. Catholics honor her, just like the angel Gabriel did ("Hail, full of grace!"). Asking for her prayers is like asking your mom for help. Except she’s literally the Queen Mother of Heaven. Your Perception Might Be Skewed Brandon mentioned hearing a lot of Marian prayers on Relevant Radio, and Patrick gently pointed out that’s just one slice of Catholic prayer life. The Mass, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, personal prayer: all of it is way more focused on God. But Mary has her rightful place too! Final Takeaway Mary isn’t competition for God. She’s His masterpiece. If God chose her to be the mother of Jesus, protected her from sin, and made her central to salvation history… well, maybe she’s worth a few extra prayers. Want to dig deeper? Patrick recommended two books:

In this episode, we chat with Mark Austin, who is the COO and Senior Geologist of Alba Minerals Resources, who are a minerals exploration company with a portfolio of projects in the UK and Greenland. Their focus is on unearthing hidden value from previously drilled or mined projects in gold, graphite and ilmenite. Mark discusses Alba Mineral’s journey and in particular the history behind their Clogau Gold Mine, a royal connection, the challenges of bringing an old UK mine into production and the emergence of the UK mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Clogau Gold Mine has a rich history dating back to 1854, originally starting as a lead mine before transitioning to gold mining. It produced a total of approximately 88,000 ounces of gold over its operational years, with significant production occurring between 1890 and 1910. Alba Minerals Resources recognised the potential for extracting remaining gold from the Clogau mine, which had been left largely undeveloped. Their initial focus was on safety and compliance, addressing the mine's deteriorating conditions before moving on to exploration and production. The company faced environmental challenges, particularly concerning the presence of lesser horseshoe bats in the mine. They implemented measures to protect the bats, including specialised gates and regular surveys, while also ensuring compliance with Natural Resources Wales. Clogau Gold is sought after not only for its quality but also due to its historical significance, including its use in royal wedding rings. This connection contributes to a premium price above the standard market rate for gold. BEST MOMENTS "Alba saw the opportunity of looking at what has been left behind from Clogau... there's always ore left behind, whether it's in pillars or the old timers have missed the extension of a pay chute." "The ore body that has been mined is a quartz vein... the gold mineralization is very nuggety. It's little pods of gold... finding these pods of gold has been the history of Clogau Gold Mine." "Clogau gold can fetch a significant premium... the Queen Mother married the Duke of York with rings made from Clogau gold. That tradition continues today with Prince William and Kate." "Safety was a big factor... a mine 150 years old has degraded over time... making it legally compliant was quite a challenge."

Running a remote Yorkshire farm, with no flushing toilet and no electricity is an unlikely route to TV stardom, but 46 year-old spinster Hannah Hauxwell managed it on 30th January, 1973, when ITV aired the landmark documentary ‘Too Long A Winter'. Speaking lyrically about her singlehood, how she braved the bitter Winter, and how she survived on a grocery budget of just £5 per month, Hauxwell's story inspired thousands of viewers to send her food parcels and arrange for her homestead to be modernised. In a series of follow-up films, Hauxwell travelled to America, met the Pope and Queen Mother, and became arguably the UK's first ‘reality TV star'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Hauxwell came to be featured on the programme that made her name; revel in an era where it was possible to be a TV personality without ever having even seen a television; and wonder if such a career trajectory would be possible today…  Further Reading: • ‘Hannah Hauxwell: the lasting legacy of the daughter of the Yorkshire Dales' (Yorkshire Post): https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/interactive/hannah-hauxwell-yorkshire-dales-legacy • ‘Hannah Hauxwell: 'She didn't ask to be filmed, but her natural personality made her a star' (The Northern Echo, 2018): https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/15913703.hannah-hauxwell-she-didnt-ask-filmed-natural-personality-made-star/ • ‘Too Long A Winter' (Yorkshire TV, 1973): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC5WeuLHUdU Love the show?

Welcome to Monday Night Live Host Derek Arden welcomed networking expert Will Kintish for an insightful and practical chat, The session was packed with actionable tips, personal anecdotes, and thought-provoking advice to improve communication and networking skills in both social and professional settings. Here's a summary of the highlights: The Importance of Names and IntroductionsWill Kintish emphasized that many people struggle to remember names, so it's crucial to help others by clearly introducing yourself. A simple approach like pausing after your name—e.g., “Hello, my name is… Will Kintish”—gives people a moment to register it. He also noted how people often mirror the way you introduce yourself, so setting the tone with a clear and confident introduction can make a big difference. Asking Better QuestionsWill shared a valuable lesson learned from the late Queen Mother. Instead of asking, “What do you do?”—a question that can sometimes feel limiting—she reframed it to encourage more meaningful responses. For instance, replacing it with, “Tell me about what keeps you busy” allows for a broader and more engaging conversation. Will also highlighted the importance of talking about what you do in a way that focuses on the value you bring, rather than just stating your job title. The Power of Active ListeningA major theme of the discussion was listening carefully and attentively. Will reminded the audience to observe not only what people say but also their body language, as it often reveals more than words. Drawing from Dale Carnegie's principles, he underscored that letting others talk about themselves builds stronger connections. Will shared a personal anecdote about a dinner conversation where his genuine interest in someone else's story led to a memorable and engaging discussion. WAIT: Why Am I Talking?Will introduced the acronym WAIT—“Why Am I Talking?”—as a reminder to pause before dominating a conversation. This self-awareness is key to fostering meaningful interactions. He stressed the importance of balancing conversations by flipping the focus back to others after sharing your thoughts briefly. Avoiding ArgumentsOne of Will's golden rules is never to argue. Instead of engaging in disputes, he suggests offering alternative perspectives with kindness and respect. He mentioned how this approach, rooted in Dale Carnegie's principles, fosters more productive and harmonious relationships. Respect and Admitting MistakesThe conversation also touched on the importance of respect and accountability. Will recounted a personal story about a challenging situation in his charity work where someone's inability to admit mistakes strained their relationship. The lesson? Admitting and learning from mistakes goes a long way in maintaining trust and respect. Relearning the BasicsWill and Derek concluded that often, we don't need to learn new skills but rather relearn and practice fundamental principles. Whether it's showing genuine interest in others, asking thoughtful questions, or being a better listener, these timeless strategies remain relevant today. Key Takeaways:Names Matter: Help others remember your name by introducing yourself clearly and confidently.Ask Open-Ended Questions: Replace “What do you do?” with more engaging alternatives.Listen Actively: Pay attention to both words and body language, and let others share their stories.WAIT: Ask yourself “Why Am I Talking?” to ensure a balanced conversation.Avoid Arguments: Offer perspectives with respect and without conflict.Admit Mistakes: Accountability strengthens relationships and trust. Derek closed the session by thanking Will for sharing his wealth of experience and reminding viewers that sometimes hearing these lessons multiple times is essential to fully absorb them.

Questions Covered: 13:30 – In the parable of the servants who were left with talents, what is the meaning (if any) behind the servant with only 1 talent failing to multiply his goods but rather burying them? It can’t follow that having less (skill or what have you) means you’re more likely to fail God? Usually we find great reversals in the parables so this has me a bit puzzled if I’m missing something? Thanks  20:49 – 1 Kings 2 is often cited as evidence for the powerful intercession of the Queen Mother in David’s kingdom.  In this scene, although Solomon rises and bows before his mother, Bathsheba–and even brings out a throne for her to sit as his right!–he doesn’t actually grant her request.  In fact, he even puts Adonijah to death!  Should this passage be considered evidence for Mary’s intercession before her Son (as the fulfillment of the Davidic Kingdom), or are we who use this passage reading too much into it?  31:23 – Thank you! Can you help me formulate the best argument that the Bible is inspired by God to an unbeliever? Thanks.  37:19 – Why do other rites (besides the Roman) have their own canon law codes?  44:07 – What makes a sacrament a sacrament? I messaged a Lutheran content creator recently (because he called Purgatory a “Catholic Lie” and the conversation widened), and the Lutheran fellow very condescendingly spoke to Catholics (as well as Eastern Orthodox) ‘finding God where He is not present’, stating that Baptism and the Eucharist are the only sacraments, with anything else from Holy Matrimony/Orders to Annointing of the Sick being meaningless gestures that distract us from God’s grace, instead of imparting it. I was mortified, and disengaged at some bad faith arguments on his part, but it still made me wonder what is it about those seven things that make them sacraments, but not other things?  50:55 – Can you explain what inerrancy means and doesn’t mean? For example, in I Chronicles it says David prepared materials for the temple and in Samuel it only says it was Solomon. It also says David prepared 100,000 talents of gold for the temple, along with a million talents of silver, bronze, iron, timber, and stone. Do these numbers have to be literally correct for inerrancy?  …

Why We Love Mary So Much!Today I thought I would do something different. Instead of starting with a scripture. I decided to talk to you today about my mentoring topic for this month. It is Why We Love Mary So Much! “Why do Catholics love Mary so much?” This is a question that I have been asked a lot by Catholics as well as other Christians. I have also been often asked, “Why do Catholics Worship Mary.” Let's address that one first; it is a much simpler answer. We do not worship Mary. We only worship the Lord. We have a deep love and devotion for **Mother Mary** because of her unique role in God's plan for salvation, virtues, and intercession. Today, I will review some key reasons Catholics love Mary so much. Here are some key reasons for this devotion to Mary:1. **Her Role as the Mother of God**Mary is honored as the **Theotokos**, or "God-bearer," because she gave birth to Jesus Christ, who is both fully God and fully man. This makes her central to the mystery of the Incarnation—the event through which God became human to save humanity. Catholics view her as the mother of not only Jesus but, in a spiritual sense, the entire Church.2. **Her Yes to God's Will**Mary's willingness to say **"Yes" (Fiat)** to God at the Annunciation (Luke 1:38) is seen as a model of perfect faith and obedience. She trusted God's plan, even without fully understanding it, and her example inspires Catholics to follow her in surrendering to God's will.3. **Her Role as a Spiritual Mother**From the Cross, Jesus entrusted Mary to all humanity when He said to the Apostle John: **"Behold your mother"** (John 19:27). Catholics believe that Mary is a spiritual mother who cares for all believers, interceding for them and guiding them closer to Jesus.4. **Her Sinlessness and Purity**Mary's Immaculate Conception (her being conceived without original sin) and her sinless life make her the perfect model of holiness. Catholics honor her purity and strive to imitate her virtues, especially humility, love, and faithfulness.5. **Her Intercessory Power**Catholics believe that Mary, being close to Jesus, has a unique role in interceding for humanity. Asking for Mary's intercession is like asking a trusted and holy friend to pray on one's behalf. This belief is rooted in her role at the **Wedding at Cana** (John 2:1-12), where her intercession led to Jesus performing His first miracle.6. **A Deeply Personal Connection**For many Catholics, Mary is not only a figure of reverence but also a source of comfort, understanding, and maternal love. Devotions like the **Rosary** help foster this personal connection, allowing the faithful to meditate on Jesus' life through Mary's perspective.7. **Her Title as Queen of Heaven**Mary is honored as the **Queen of Heaven** because of her close association with Christ, the King. This title emphasizes her exalted place in heaven, where she continues interceding for the Church.The title **"Queen of Heaven"** is one of the many honorary titles given to Mary, reflecting her unique role in salvation history and her exalted position in heaven. This title is deeply rooted in Scripture, tradition, and theology. Here's an explanation of why Mary is called the Queen of Heaven:---1. **Mary as Mother of the King (Queen Mother)**In biblical tradition, the mother of the king in the Davidic kingdom held the role of the **queen mother** (*Gebirah* in Hebrew), a position of honor and influence. For example:- In the Old Testament, the queen mother often interceded on behalf of the people (e.g., Bathsheba in 1 Kings 2:19).- Since Jesus is the eternal King of the universe (Luke 1:32-33), Mary, as His mother, is honored as the **Queen Mother** in His heavenly kingdom.2. **Scriptural Foundations**The title is not explicitly mentioned in Scripture but is supported by several biblical themes:- **The Annunciation** (Luke 1:32-33): The angel Gabriel tells Mary that her son will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end. If Jesus is King, Mary is logically the Queen Mother.- **The Woman Clothed with the Sun** (Revelation 12:1): In this passage, Mary is symbolically depicted as a woman crowned with twelve stars, representing her royal dignity and role as the Queen of Heaven.3. **Tradition and Early Church Fathers**- From the earliest centuries, Christians recognized Mary's special status as the mother of the King. Titles like **“Queen of Heaven”** and **“Queen of Angels”** began to appear in Christian prayers and hymns.- Saints like **St. Ephrem** and **St. Augustine** wrote of Mary's royal dignity, associating her with Christ's kingship and her role in the divine plan of salvation.4. **Mary's Coronation**Catholic tradition holds that, after her Assumption into heaven, Mary was crowned as Queen by Christ. This is often depicted in Christian art and is the subject of the **Fifth Glorious Mystery of the Rosary**: *The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth.*5. **Her Role in Intercession**As Queen of Heaven, Mary is believed to intercede for humanity before her Son, Jesus Christ. This is similar to the role of the queen mother in the Davidic kingdom, who acted as an advocate for the people.6. **Papal Affirmations**- Pope Pius XII, in his encyclical **Ad Caeli Reginam (To the Queen of Heaven)** in 1954, formally proclaimed Mary as **Queen of Heaven and Earth**, affirming this title as a reflection of her close relationship with Christ and her role in the Church.- He declared that Mary's queenship is rooted in her divine motherhood and her unique participation in Christ's work of redemption.7. **Symbolism of Her Queenship**Mary's title as Queen of Heaven underscores her:- **Exalted dignity** as the Mother of God.- **Role as intercessor** and advocate for the faithful.- **Victory over sin and death**, as she shares in her Son's triumph through her Assumption.8. **Devotions to Mary as Queen**- **The Litany of Loreto** includes the invocation “Queen of Heaven, pray for us.”- Feasts like the **Queenship of Mary** (celebrated on August 22) honor her royal status.Marian hymns, such as **"Hail, Holy Queen" (Salve Regina)**, reflect this devotion.Ultimately, Catholics love Mary because she leads them closer to Jesus. Her life and example remind believers of the transformative power of grace and the importance of trusting in God's plan.I hope you enjoyed this explanation about Mary and why we love her so much. I hope it cleared up any confusion about whether or not we worship Mary. We don't. I hope listening to all this makes you a bit more curious to study Mary on your own. She is really a remarkable woman. Her yes to the Lord is so incredible. She always points us back to her son or to the Father.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless everyone listening to this episode. Lord, thank you so much for sending your son to Earth to save us. Thank you for giving us Mary as our spiritual Mother. We couldn't have asked for a better example. Lord, we ask that you help us be more like Mary. We ask that you help us to say yes, even when we don't quite understand all you are calling us to do. Give us the strength to say Yes to all you ask us to do, Lord. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name. Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. You can see the whole mentoring session on my YouTube channel if you liked this teaching on why we love Mary so much. It talks about the Immaculate Conception and explains what it means to do a Marian Consecration. It also has some little-known facts about Mary. I think you will enjoy it. I would also like to invite you all to join mentoring for this upcoming year. The first month's theme will be Identity, and it is so needed. If we stand firm in our identity as children of God, then the enemy won't be able to attack us as much. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I! Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in June 2024 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

In June 2000, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attended the "Dance of the Decades" at Windsor Castle, an opulent event hosted by the British royal family to celebrate multiple royal birthdays, including Prince Andrew's 40th and the Queen Mother's 100th. Epstein and Maxwell were reportedly invited by Prince Andrew as his personal guests, further underlining their close association with the royal. Both Epstein and Maxwell's names appeared separately on the official guest list—a protocol normally reserved for unmarried or unengaged couples—indicating a deliberate choice to include both at the high-profile event.The ball marked a moment when Epstein's and Maxwell's access to powerful social circles, including the British monarchy, was at its height. The invitation to Windsor Castle also preceded further engagements with Prince Andrew, including a shooting weekend at the royal Sandringham Estate, cementing their ongoing proximity to the prince.This revelation, coming to light through documents and accounts from the event, has fueled ongoing scrutiny of Prince Andrew's ties to Epstein and Maxwell, particularly as legal investigations into their network of trafficking expanded.

Who is to blame if the leader can never be wrong?'Tragedy Without Consequences' by Frank Dikötter is a historical book looking at the famine that was caused during China's 'Great Leap Forward'. It showcases the period from 1958-62 and why a series of decisions stemming from Chairman Mao resulted in the death of 30-45 million people. A reoccurring theme was being out of touch with reality, whether it be untested agricultural reforms, distorted data collection or continual lies bouncing from top to bottom.

In this episode, Christy brings in England's Queen Elizabeth I (born 1900) for a wonderful conversation about her pre-birth intentions. She discussed how her intentions brought her into the life that would become The Queen Mother. It's not that she specifically chose to become the queen in order for her pre-birth intentions to be realized, it was the universe who placed her in the perfect life based on those intentions. She also goes to great lengths to describe what are egos really are and how we can work with them so that they align with the lives we truly want to live. This was one of the most fascinating dead talks  so far and our first ever conversation with royalty. For more info, click below: Gary Temple Bodley Christy Levy

The dispute between Prince Andrew and King Charles over Royal Lodge, a historic residence in Windsor, involves several key points:Property Details:Royal Lodge: A grand estate located in Windsor Great Park, it has been the official residence of Prince Andrew since 2003. The property was previously the home of the Queen Mother.The Conflict:King Charles' Plans: Following his ascension to the throne, King Charles has been reassessing the allocation of royal residences. He aims to streamline and modernize the royal estate, potentially reallocating residences to better suit the current needs of the monarchy.Prince Andrew's Concerns: Prince Andrew, who has lived at Royal Lodge for two decades and invested significantly in its maintenance and refurbishment, is resistant to the idea of moving out. He views the lodge as his long-term home and believes he has a right to remain there.Financial Considerations:Lease Agreement: Prince Andrew holds a long-term lease on Royal Lodge, which complicates efforts to reassign the property. The lease arrangement, which includes specific financial and occupancy terms, may be legally binding, making it challenging for King Charles to enforce a move.Personal Investments: Prince Andrew has spent considerable personal funds on renovations and upkeep, which he argues reinforces his claim to stay at the lodge.Public and Royal Family Dynamics:Public Perception: The dispute is occurring against a backdrop of broader public scrutiny of the royal family's use of resources and properties, particularly in light of ongoing economic challenges faced by the general population.Family Relations: The disagreement may also reflect underlying tensions within the royal family, particularly in the wake of Prince Andrew's controversial public image and his diminished role in royal duties following his association with Jeffrey Epstein.(commercial at 6:57)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew 'to deploy secret weapon' in desperate bid to stay at crumbling Royal Lodge amid King Charles feud | The Sun

Sold as a slave to the great Abbasid Caliph, al-Khayzuran quickly rose to the very top of the pyramid. Through marriage and motherhood, she became wife of the caliph and then Queen Mother and in both instances she wielded extraordinary power. In the court at Baghdad - the very heart of the civilised world - al-Khayzuran had major influence and it is possible that during her lifetime, she was the most powerful woman in the world, determining politics from Morocco to Afghanistan.

This week, we're excited to have Charlie Thomas, UK Director of Iconic Collections for Bonham's, on the pod to take us inside ‘The Crown' auction going on now online (and the live event happening next week). We dive into what items are up for grabs—so many Princess Diana outfit recreations, the dupe of the Gold State coach—and the best tips for bidders. Also this week: an update on Princess Kate's recovery and the King's health after being discharged from hospital; Bashir and Panorama back in the headlines, and the 30th anniversary of the day Prince Charles was shot at (twice!).

In the aftermath of Princess Margaret's death, the Queen approaches her Golden Jubilee with more trepidation than ever before. With her mother's health in decline, she finds herself vulnerable to the attacks of Mohamed Al Fayed who pursues a high-profile campaign to prove responsibility for Diana's death lies with the Royal Family. Meanwhile, between his blossoming romance with Kate and the re-opened case surrounding his mother's death, William seeks to lead as normal a life as possible while he still can.   Edith Bowman speaks with director Erik Richter-Strand about showing a more vulnerable side of the Queen, and Head of Research Annie Sulzberger introduces researcher Anna Basista to give insight into the Paget Report. Actor Marcia Warren reflects on playing the Queen Mother and Edith meets The Crown's Prince Harry, Luthor Ford – in his first ever interview.   The Crown: The Official Podcast is produced by Netflix and Sony Music Entertainment, in association with Left Bank Pictures.    Host: Edith Bowman  Guests: Erik Richter-Strand, Marcia Warren, Annie Sulzberger, Anna Basista, Luther Ford.
