About this listen
Lord Mountbatten was a great grandson of Queen Victoria and an uncle of Prince Philip. During his marriage to Countess Edwina, he famously said they spent all their married lives "getting into other people's beds".
In 1979, he was murdered by the IRA off the coast of Sligo in one of the most significant moments of The Troubles.
Yet, decades after his death, he made headlines once again in 2022, when a man accused him of sexually abusing him when was an 11-year-old boy.
Author Andrew Lownie has written the most comprehensive biography of this complex figure, and was generous enough to chat with me about his research.
