How Europe's only private army is based in BRITAIN: Soldiers in tiny regiment carry rifles from the 19th century, wear kilts and are loyal to a duke who lives in South Africa | This is Money

Jan 11, 2025 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

With their Lee-Metford rifles, broadswords and daggers in their socks, they look like men you would not want to get on the wrong side of. And that's no surprise, because Scotland's Atholl Highlanders have the honour of being Europe's only - and the world's oldest - private army. The infantry regiment have served as the personal bodyguard of the Duke of Atholl, chieftain of the historic Clan Murray, for nearly 200 years.
How Rachel Reeves' debt 'nightmare' has chilling echoes of 1976 when Britain was the 'sick man of Europe' with an economy in crisis that forced it to go 'cap in hand' for £2.3bn bailout | This is Money

Jan 10, 2025 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

With the pound falling sharply against the dollar, inflation a constant worry and Government borrowing rates creeping up, Labour's economic credibility is shrivelling. Such is the extent of Britain's current economic troubles, Chancellor Rachel Reeves' plight has been compared to that of her 1970s predecessor Denis Healey.
Why Henry VIII is to blame for first-cousin marriage being legal

Dec 11, 2024 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

It was a prohibition that stood for 1,000 years - until one particularly capricious monarch decided otherwise. In 1540, King Henry VIII changed the law to allow first-cousin marriage so he could wed Catherine Howard. Since then, the practice has been legal in Britain, but a furore broke out this week when MP Iqbal Mohamed spoke out in defence of weddings between first cousins. Tory MP Richard Holden is hoping to bring forward legislation that would ban such unions.
Monty Python's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life song could have been VERY different: Terry Jones' first draft goes on display with unseen pictures from late star's archive | This is Money

Dec 11, 2024 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

It is one of the best loved films in British history, despite the efforts of some to get it banned on the grounds of blasphemy. Monty Python's Life of Brian and its Always Look on the Bright Side of Life song proved a mega hit and continues to resonate. But a new exhibition of late Python star Terry Jones's memorabilia shows how the iconic tune from the 1979 film could have been very different.
The unholy popes whose religion was incest, orgies and mass murder: Papal scandals immortalised in racy TV shows such as the Borgias make new film Conclave look tame | This is Money

Dec 8, 2024 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

Murder, incest, philandering and corruption - the vices of the unholiest of men. But these were also the misdeeds of some of history's worst popes. There was Alexander VI, who was head of the notorious (and incestuous) criminal family that was brought so brilliantly to life by a star cast led by Jeremy Irons in The Borgias. They were orgy-loving, murderous and corrupt to the core.
When vampires were very REAL: Long before Dracula and Nosferatu sank their teeth into our minds, even scientists were terrified of the blood suckers... and hundreds of innocents were condemned | This is Money

Dec 7, 2024 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

Once upon a time, vampires were not just screen terrors or the stuff of nightmares. They were real creatures stalking the peasant villages of Eastern Europe, sucking the blood of innocents wherever they went - or so people, including scientists, thought. Even doctors and the scientific pioneers of 300 years ago believed in the reality of vampires - and only gradually did they move from the pages of academic journals to novels.
Hitler's puppet king: Edward VIII's fury when asked if he had been offered a return to the throne by Nazi dictator had Germany won WWII

Dec 4, 2024 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

The former King Edward VIII exploded with rage when asked if had been offered a return to the English throne under Nazi rule, his interviewer has recalled. Georg Stefan Troller, 103, spoke to the Duke of Windsor in 1966, thirty years after he abdicated so he could marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
The semi-naked ex-King: Unseen pictures reveal Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson on their sad 1937 wedding day and enjoying the summer weather... weeks after George VI's stunning coronation | This is Money

Dec 4, 2024 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

Just weeks earlier, his brother George VI had been crowned in a stunning coronation that he was not invited to. But, perhaps, the errant duke who had briefly reigned as Edward VIII reflected on what might have been as he stood topless with scythe in hand in a garden that was not his. Never before seen in public, this extraordinary image was taken in the summer of 1937, less than a year after Edward gave up the throne to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson.
Let it be? The Beatles' bitter break-up seen in new light in long-lost court documents from Paul McCartney's legal action against the rest of the Fab Four | This is Money

Dec 3, 2024 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

'The question is, where is the money?'Newly-discovered court documents reveal that is what one confused lawyer said amidst the break-up of The Beatles. Sir Paul McCartney launched a legal bid in December 1970 over his opposition to his bandmates' appointment of controversial industry figure Allen Klein as their manager.
Defenders of Richard III say evidence suggesting Princes in the Tower WERE murdered is 'conjecture'

Dec 3, 2024 | thisismoney.co.uk | Harry Howard

Defenders of the maligned Richard III have said a new discovery that experts suggested backs up the theory the Princes in the Tower were murdered is 'conjecture'. The 12-year-old King Edward V and his nine-year-old brother vanished without a trace in 1483, and their uncle Richard III has long been suspected of ordering their killings. A Channel 5 documentary airing tomorrow evening reveals for the first time a will that features one of the young Edward's prize possessions among its bequests.
