William's Message to Harry + The Story of Seduction | Ep.107 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
Phil has spent decades analysing royal spin - from the age of Diana to the current TransAtlantic stand off between her two sons. He thinks that the interview Jason Knauf gave this week to the Australian 60 Minutes series is one of the most significant things to happen in terms of ‘Palace Kremlinology’ in many years. The interview did not happen by accident and will have required much pre-clearing with William himself. So what is Britain’s future King really saying to the country, the media and, especially, his brother?
After this Phil is joined by writer and cultural historian Clement Knox to discuss a topic that has featured in many earlier episodes of this podcast - seduction.
Clement argues that the idea and importance of seduction has changed radically over time, and that such changes mark some hugely important moments of social change, and the changing balance of power between the sexes. He offers an extraordinary range of stories to chart the many guises of seduction, showing that our ideas about desire, courtship, and power have always developed in step with a changing world.
