About this listen

In this bonus episode, Patsi visits Hugh Mitford Raymond in his apartment on Nice’s iconic Promenade des Anglais. There, Hugh has researched and written for over three decades, producing several books - most notably The Mitfords, Nearly A Thousand Years Of History.

Together, Hugh and Patsi revisit a darker aspect of the Mitford story through two of the notorious 20th century ‘girls’ – Unity (1914-1948) and Diana (1910 – 2003)

Hugh explains the sisters’ mutual obsession with the Nazi project, the controversies in its wake - and the questions that remain. He reflects too, on what it is to be a Mitford when a chapter of the family's past casts such a long shadow.
