Episode description as stored

Winston Churchill was a passionate defender of Britain’s monarchy – but that didn’t mean he always saw eye to eye with the royals themselves. Jon Bauckham talks to Ted Powell about Churchill’s complex relationship with the Crown – from his clashes with George V and controversial support for Edward VIII, to his role in guiding the young Elizabeth II through the early years of her reign. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Learn more about the highs and lows of Churchill’s leadership in the latest episode of our new series, History’s Greatest Leaders: https://bit.ly/4bWCf6C Learn more about your ad choices.
