  • Summary

  • In a change to the podcast's usual format, host Annie Vischer is joined by historian and author Gareth Russell to discuss one of history's most notable weddings - the marriage of Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon at Westminster Abbey in 1923. The romance of it all reads like a novel, from the pair's first meeting as children to the three - yes, three - proposals that eventually lead to a royal engagement. Find out what makes this wedding such a game changer in the royal wedding arena and how a brush with the Daily Mail almost spells disaster for the big day itself.

    Do Let's Have Another Drink, the Singular With and Double Measures of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother by Gareth Russell is available to buy now.
