Royal Love: The Gaveston Affair

For Valentine’s Day, Queens, Kings & Dastardly Things goes full royal romance-with-a-body-count. Robert Hardman and Prof Kate Williams delve into the whispered love story of Edward II and his dazzling courtier, Piers Gaveston — a friendship (or something more) so intense it detonates the English court. Why did the barons loathe Gaveston so much? Who gets the stuffed-crust portion of medieval “pizza” of land, titles, and power, and who’s left starving? And then comes the infamous comeuppance: the notorious ending Christopher Marlowe gives Edward II —death by red-hot poker. True? Find out. Royal love. A battle for lands. And a legend that refuses to die.

The Epstein Files: Was Epstein A Russian Agent?

Following the explosive revelations in the latest release of Epstein files, historian Andrew Lownie joins Sarah Vine to unpack what we know. The conversation covers the evidence that Epstein ran a blackmail operation with Russian intelligence connections, the wider royal family's knowledge of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's activities, institutional cover-ups, and whether King Charles will address the crisis. Lownie argues this scandal surpasses Profumo in scale and represents a grave threat to public trust in British institutions. A Daily Mail Production. Seriously Popular. Hosted on Acast.

The UK’s Risible Reading Age and Bloody Books

On this week’s episode, Sarah is asking is the English literature curriculum really being dumbed down or are we simply not reading as a country anymore or simply shifting our allegiance to audiobooks? And Peter, as if to prove otherwise, will be bandying a copy of Lord of the Flies around and poring over the latest BBC adaptation. Plus, why was Stephen Fry stalking Peter at a memorial for his late brother? Why we should eat even if the Queen has done with her meal, royal protocol be damned! Why neither wants a coat of arms, divorce etiquette and why the Suez Crisis reminds Peter of his father getting on his bike.

The Royal Vampire

Welcome to royal history with bite. In this episode of Queens, Kings & Dastardly Things, Robert Hardman and Professor Kate Williams head east to Transylvania to unravel one of the strangest threads in modern royal history. King Charles III’s long-standing fascination with Romania turns out to involve more than rural preservation and beautiful churches — it also leads back, genealogically, to Vlad III, the ruler whose brutality helped inspire the Dracula legend. But Vlad is not the region’s only blood-soaked aristocrat uncovered. Their conversation also takes in the infamous Countess Elizabeth Báthory, accused of torturing and killing young women in neighbouring Hungary — and asks whether her reputation reflects historical reality, political convenience, or deep-seated fears about power, inheritance, and women who ruled alone.
