Prince Philip: TV interview with Harold Evans March 1968 on North-South divide, student protest &’racialism’.
I’m no monarchist. In 2021 we should be talking about citizens not subjects. However I am an historian and the 37 minute programme from March 1968 (on Tyne-Tees) is of some social historical interest.
Prince Philip had waited 15 years since becoming Prince Consort to give a TV interview and this one reveals the concerns of the time and reflects ruling class perspectives of the moment. The panel of Ludovic Kennedy, Harold Evans, Brian Redhead and William Hardcastle are all, like the Prince now, no longer with us.
Just to correct that it is Brian Redhead rather than Brian Redpath.
