Ep.22 | The Mountbattens - Sex, Secrets and High Society

In our first episode Andrew raised shocking sexual abuse allegations about Lord Louis Mountbattten - one of the most famous and most powerful royal celebrities of all time. This week Andrew and Phil reveal new evidence from named witnesses about Mountbatten. They also explore the famously ‘open marriage’ he enjoyed with his wife Edwina.

Shining a light on the sexual politics (and many hypocrisies) of that age, they ask if the Mountbatten’s notorious bed hopping may have played a role in huge events of state such as the partition of India.
