And we’re back to continue and finish the fascinating story of Pamela Mitford, the sister who traded high society for the countryside!
In today’s episode, we dive into Pam's marriage to the brilliant but complex scientist, Derek Jackson. We’ll unpack Derek’s eccentric family, his crucial role in physics, and how he juggled a shocking number of other wives and affairs.
We also explore Pam's controversial political views and her complicated ties to the Mosely family during World War II. From their move to Ireland for tax reasons to her eventual divorce, from her quiet life in Switzerland to smuggling chickens, this episode covers it all.
This concludes the story of the Mitford sister who never sought the spotlight but lived a life that was surprisingly rich with drama and unconventional choices. Perfect for fans of British history, family sagas, and uncovering the truth behind the aristocracy's most private lives!
