Check out my interview on what might be expected from William & Catherine's state visit to Canada in July 2011!
With the March 1 release of ROYAL PAINS, plus an upcoming event of international interest, I had a whirlwind couple of months prior to the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton on April 29, 2011, with numerous guest appearances on radio and television stations from the US Virgin Islands to Maui, from New England to Colorado, and from Tampa to Kansas.
I was also interviewed from London on the wedding day by the Wall Street Journal and USAToday as well as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (you can hear the cbcradio interview below.) Actually, the interview requests began back in November 2010, as soon as William and Kate announced their engagement. When you've written books titled NOTORIOUS ROYAL MARRIAGES and ROYAL AFFAIRS, the media comes knocking at your door.
On the evening of April 29, I spoke with Day 6 of cbcradio (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), to give them a postmortem on the royal wedding and to chat about monarchs, marriages, and mayhem. Listen to my take.
"Sex and Politics: oh, yes, the twain do meet! On April 18, 2011, I spent a full hour discussing notorious royal marriages, royal affairs, royal pains, and the upcoming royal wedding on "Straight Talk with Holland Redfield," AM 970, broadcast from the sunny U.S. Virgin Islands." Listen to the show:
