The Mountbattens, revelations from the Churchill Archives
Tue 3 March 2020
Churchill College
Andrew Lownie will talk about the research behind his recent book, 'The Mountbattens: their lives, their loves', his biography of Dickie and Edwina Mountbatten, the glamorous couple behind the modern royal family. Andrew Lownie says: “Though both Dickie and Edwina have had individual official biographies many years ago, this is the first joint biography and is based on extensive research not just in their own private papers but also archive collections around the world, interviews with dozens of people who knew them closely and Freedom of Information requests on both sides of the Atlantic. What I found surprised me and gives a very different picture of the couple and their relationship than in previous books.”
