Aristos, Adultery and Fascism - with Anne de Courcy | Ep.76 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
Description
The human dynamo that is Anne de Courcy returns to the podcast by popular demand after her brilliant interview about Princess Margaret and Tony Snowdon. This week she is speaking about one of her most successful books ‘The Viceroy’s Daughters’, the saga of Lord Curzon and his three talented, beautiful but often wayward daughters at the pinnacle of British and imperial high society in the first half of the 20th Century.
Overlapping love affairs, dalliances with dangerous young men and campaigning alongside the most charismatic politician of the age, Oswald Mosley, the former socialist turned fascist leader of Britain’s ‘Black Shirts’ in the 1930s - this is a story with everything and an incredible window into a glittering but also menacing world of privilege, power and decadence.
