  • Summary

  • Good nobles, we have a real treat for you this week as we journey down into Africa - Kenya specifically - to begin the trashy tales of the Happy Valley Set. This group of self-absorbed, wealthy British expatriates is legendary in history for all of the sins that occurred in their heyday, from the 1920s to the 1940s. Today’s episode serves as a great introduction to this heap of hedonism, as we explore the life, the loves, and the mysterious murder of Josslyn Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll. After a life of great debauchery, he is found dead at a lonely crossroads near Nairobi on January 24, 1941. There are no lack of suspects in this case, as mostly everyone would like Josslyn more dead than alive. The is an arrest and a trial though of a jealous husband, Sir Jock Delves Broughton. It doesn’t go how you think it might. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast. To advertise on this podcast, reach out to info@amplitudemediapartners.com.
