It is! This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Get the King on to this he should sort it out for his subjects as we are called,what's the point in paying all that money if you can't get to it.

​@hazelholmshaw9415 The Royals are the ones censoring and destroying. KC III is apart of it

@@daisyd2392 I fear so. I have written to the King's Private Secretary about the issue. I had no reply.

What are they so afraid of? Monarchy not so worthy after all?

Part 2 is 🔥

Anyone who watches Niel Sean knows how he started getting persnickety about mentioning other channels or websites and then stated he would shadow ban, "hide this channel from you". Shortly after that, I stumbled across an announcement from, I can't remember the exact name of the office in London but it was an official address. They were seeking public comment, were only going to taking comment for 2 more weeks regarding original wills for London, Wales and another place I can't remember because, oddly, none of those are in Texas and I am. They were digitizing ORIGINALS will going back to 👉 1598 👈 and were going to destroy the originals. HAND WRITTEN WILLS FROM 1598, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 🆘️ Public comment could save the originals. I don't live there but my family, Whitworth was in London in 1598 and the thought of the handwritting, wills included household inventory, hand written! 😢I thought I was going to vomit. I knew Seans feelings, but it was the only channel I watched at the time that had a following from there, in the age group that would care. I couldn't find how to contact him, privately so as not to twist his panties, but nothing. I wrote the comment, told him this was for his followers because I didn't live there but thought they might appreciate knowing this. I'd checked the web address and it was legit, and people would appreciate saving their ancestors documents. It was in the first 30ish comments. He took it down because I checked to see and it was gone. I feel terrible and just want to cry over the loe of those invaluable records. Digital is great but holding something written by them or for them was something that has made me hate shredders.

Gobsmacking isn’t it!

@@thevintagereadand then some!

Thank you Rowena x

And you (Shauna) bring the most uncovered and original material! You deserve an award!

We live in an era of fake news.

Yes, the Bible🤗🫶🏼

Unfortunately, even the Bible has been fiddled with. I had to study the original Aramaic and Hebrew used as Greek translators didn't always have the *exact* word so some put in what 'they thought' was the closest to the original, but this caused passages to read entirely different from what was originally written. One example is the exile of Noah's son for "uncovering his father's nakedness" which makes it seem as if he was exiled only because he saw his (drunken) father unclothed. The original text relates an entirely different scenario, for which exile is totally reasonable given the circumstances. Another example is the changing of wine skins to bottles (Luke 5:37-38. Putting fresh wine that needs to ferment into an old wineskin will cause it to burst due to its brittleness. Substituting bottle here makes zero sense...but small changes have occurred over time. I have witnessed this myself. This is not to say that the Bible shouldn't be read. It should, but in order to truly understand it, one must study it.

​@@booperpotpie9634Hebrew is notoriously difficult to translate, even modern day Hebrew, it's almost a language unto itself. You have to almost live the language and feel it, if that makes sense. Well done you for studying the originals.

I don’t think we can believe all historical material. Even the Bible was corrupted by the various writers.

Sunday is part 2 and you won’t believe your ears!

@@thevintageread Now I'm even more thrilled! Bring it on! THANK YOU, Amazing Shauna! And thank you, Andrew, you are a brave man indeed! I need to make time to read his Mountbatten book ASAP...

It sure is! A lot more evidence has come to light since the book was published and we discuss that!

@@thevintageread Sounds enticing, Shauna...can't wait for Part 2 of your interview!

Indeed!

@@thevintageread Maybe the film rights will be sold and it will have a happy ending.

I'd love to see a movie about a mild mannered historian triumphing over the information hoarding archivists. I see Michael Sheen as Mr Lownie.

Thank you. I hope royal biographers will be more honest in future.

So glad!

Prince Andrew is out next year.

@@andrewlownie2033 I look forward to buying it.

Exactly! Wait until you hear Part 2 on Sunday 🔥

Perhaps that's the whole point.

We agree!

If he is digging up scandals about Mountbatten, hell will freeze over before that happens. I reckon KC3 has a lot of knowledge because his Uncle Dickie was his mentor and they spent a great deal of time together.

@@clairetomkyns175 Perhaps that's why it is so well hidden ; KC might have been whispering to various people that it would be unwise to look into it because of so much dirt on Mountbatten ?

I would be very careful going anywhere near a Royal wielding a sword.

Agree.

I agree!

Lost beyond Pluto is fantastic.

Yes she is great

Yes! She is so knowledgeable and just lovely.

I always enjoy her content .

Thanks so much for your support. Good to know one isn't alone.

In this case the Mountbatten family openly sold the personal letters and diaries to pay for the roof. The fundraising was done on the basis they would be open to the public.

@@andrewlownie2033 That's so interesting...sounds like the Mountbatten family never considered an author of your caliber showing any interest in those personal letters and diaries. Wow!

We need the truth about lots of things pertaining to Harry. Not least his alleged history of physical abuse of females of a certain type during sexual encounters. His behaviours as a child and teenager. His time in Afghanistan what is the truth about that? His two invisible children and their very questionable births. His marital status at the present time and whether he is living alone since almost two years. None of these would interest us or be called into question if he lived a quiet life of dignity and obscurity but he keeps thrusting himself into the public eye, often spouting spiteful lies about his family and demands he be addressed as Prince, Duke and his children (??) in America be given British Royal titles!!! 😩😤🙄

I know where the order came from but the libel laws prevent me from saying.

​@@andrewlownie2033, we all know who was particularly close to Louis Mountbatten.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for watching!

Exactly. Cover ups weaken an institution not strengthen it.

@@thevintageread Correct. As you'd know from our own Australian politics...let alone how it can condemn us to repeat history...😎

Any legal advice and support I can get would be welcomed.

​@@andrewlownie2033 Dear Andrew - suggest to Shauna a round table with a barrister, such as the two I mentioned above, or if Shauna is fully booked then SCANDAL MONGERS could do a debate about these shenanigans 😢 It's unbelievable - and worth bringing to light your multiple struggles on a larger forum. Chin up Andrew! I'm sure your book sales will surge - you are a lovely person so fans will support you! ❤ X

Unless we are prepared to stand firm against this sort of abuse the barbarians will win.

Thanks for your support.

The next episode delves in Mountbatten! 😊

That's not all Uncle Dickie was with his inordinate fondness for very young men. Ghastly couple.

I think there were some very serious accusations made and hushed up.

History is always written by the victors

​@@lily_m3538and I think that is a huge factor in why there's so much subterfuge.

Good point!

Highly recommend the show this man did with Andrew Gold

In the light of the postoffice scandal. This is also a miscarage of justice. A network of people who work against him, and the state.

If Prince Harry was not a Prince it is very likely that he would be declared a vexatious litigant. Different rules for us and them.

Yes I thought past interviews didn’t tell the story properly so I asked for the opportunity.

Well it was happening prior to his reign…There was hope he would lead a new era of transparency.

😊🙌

The next one is 🙌🔥

Absolutely!!

Yay! Thank you!

Thanks for listening

It's not great in US but better than UK.

@@andrewlownie2033 you might be surprised.

Agree! So impressed with him as a historian and a superb writer! Love his books!

Well Said! I too would support Andrew financially for this cause if I could.

@@williegeerie Thanks for all your support.

I second that. She's a brilliant and engaging interviewer.

Feels a little like Orwell’s 1984!

@@maggieswithenbank6709 Indeed it does

Thank you for your comment! I will make sure he sees it.

Thanks Shauna! May I add, you are a very good interviewer.

@@Lemon_N555 The problem was having started with one law firm I couldn't swop horses half way. They gave me charity rates but still over £300 an hour and my opponents deliberately pushed up my costs with their tactics including deploying a mysterious Ministerial Direction that was then dropped. We had always stressed we were looking for our costs given their 'unreasonable behaviour' but even a High Court action for contempt against Southampton by ICO - first time in history - doesn't seem to have counted. I mistakenly thought that without seeing it through then I wouldn't be awarded costs . I also felt a responsibility to see the action through to ensure he material was made public. I did look into a complaint but short of stealing clients money the Solicitor Regulation Authority will do nothing. I had hoped the original lawyers would do an appeal pro bono but the solicitor said his partners wouldn't allow it and the barrister she couldn't afford it. By then I had been completely cleaned out and had to give up.

@@andrewlownie2033 The injustice you suffered makes me even more determined to support you in purchasing more of your books, Mr. Lownie. Keep up the good fight!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes she bravely fought too! Fascinating story…

Thanks for watching and your support!

Thanks!

A lot of assumptions in your comment there. I'd love to know who the 'other problem male mentors' were. As for historical documents, I feel there should be a moratorium on private correspondence and diaries for at least 150 years after the death of the people involved. Public papers should be restricted only where there's a sensitive security issue, but private papers aren't something the public necessarily have a right to know.

No evidence that Louis is named for Mountbatten-it was already a family name in the royal family. I don’t think that a historian deserves access to sensitive documents or personal records or correspondence when others are still alive who are possibly impacted. Mountbatten’s close family members are still alive.

That is the point, these were public papers and were sold FOR public access by the family and purchased with tax payers money for that purpose. There are plenty of provisions to protect TRULY sensitive documents. The Royal family don’t have to add private documents to the archive, however allowing a Footman to determine what is public and private is ludicrous. It should be done by a trained historian.

⁠@@thevintagereada trained archivist at least. I do agree with what you’re saying.

@GinaSeay-kn7xr Bishop Peter Ball, Jimmy Saville. And the usual sensibility towards a research subject is their own lifetime, not the lives of their descendants.

That's common knowledge

This Sunday, same time!

Wonderful!

Sunday is Mountbatten so you probably won’t have time! However it will give you interesting context.

I am going to buy Andrew's books just to support his cause. I suggest others do the same.

@@clairetomkyns175 Thanks.

I'm going to do the same. I had no idea of the problems he's had to deal with.

I agree!

Glad you enjoyed it 😊💕
