It’s always a pleasure to catch up with RHG fan-favourite, Gareth Russell.
We had the chance to chat about Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, better known to millions as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. It’s a close call, but I think she was the greatest Royal consort in history.
In some accounts, the Queen Mother emerges as a figure of warmth and fun. In others, she steps forth as a stringent defender of tradition. More hostile descriptions portray her as an unyielding enemy to those that crossed her. In Gareth’s new book, it is clear that she was all three and far more besides.
If you enjoy the interview, do check out the book: “Do Let’s Have Another Drink: The Singular Wit and Double Measures of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother”. You can get it on Amazon UK, Amazon US, Waterstones, direct from Harper Collins, or from anywhere that sells good books.

Goodness, what a terrific Interview. I found Gareth Russell’s perspective generous toward those he has studied and written about, and his gracious humility makes him endlessly interesting and likeable. I hated for this interview to end!
I totally agree.
