It's time once again for Britainology, and this week Milo and Nate are joined by Phoebe Roy (who you have have heard on Masters of Our Domain and 10,000 Posts) to discuss British 9/11. Do we mean 7/7? The 2011 riots? No, we mean the death of the Queen of Our Hearts, Princess Diana Spencer, in August 1997. Never has a nation freaked out more, and we provide the key to understanding it all.

51:04, the effect you're describing is Obamification. Looking good, but also looking a lot older than your actual age

I was born a few days after lady Di died and will forever be grumpy about the fact her funeral meant my mum and I had to stay in hospital an extra day incase the crowds made getting back to hospital (in an emergency) impossible. Ironically my parents claim the streets were empty and there was no traffic 😂

I wonder if the French calling her Lah De Dee was a cute nod to the problematically titled 1991 hit Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless) by Crystal Waters https://youtu.be/_KztNIg4cvE

Oh yes. Alexa, play Candle in the Wind

Britain's Royal Family: the non-sweaty pedophiles.

Yaaaas

Nate thank you for giving me, a recently single from my most serious relationship ever 30 year old, the confidence to date Phoebe Bridgers.

Nobody will support Milo and his milfs? Shame! I will stan milfs and Milo's affinity for them day and night.

Britainology watching Threads when?

listening to this reminded me that Mohamed Al-Fayed produced a "documentary" about his conspiracy theories directed by fucking Keith Allen of all people (Lily's dad, for those unfamiliar). it never got a proper release due to the looming threat of litigation but it's circulated on internet backchannels for years now

The worst thing about Diana's death is either there being no cartoons on telly cos she selfishly died on my 12th birthday, or the premature end to her hot milf summer. I'm undecided on which though.

Tom Moffat

If you ever do a Britainology on New Wave (which I think you've talked about doing in the past?) you should try and get Martyn Ware on to talk about it. He's got a podcast of his own and is one of very few musicians of his era to not be absolute melts

Tom Vaughan

It's hi/high juice because it has a higher proportion of juice in it than squash. 😂😂🇻🇬🇻🇬

Alex Tompkins

Listening to this and realising that I myself have in fact seen the Diana movie and intentionally blanked it out of my mind

Katherine Allen

Phoebe needs to become a regular contributor. Perfect pod synergy

I'm pretty convinced the royals and the aristocracy in general (which let's face it, is just their extended family) are just Lovecraftian horror monsters after so much inbreeding, and one day we're gonna find an occult altar covered in children's blood somewhere in the Palace cellars.

The hysteria you described reminds event I witnessed in Poland. As a teenager in 2005 I've been baffled to see teacher (a ~30yo woman) with tears smudging her makeup the day after news of John Paul II death arrived. Conservatives used his death to push country even more to the right calling us a "generation jp2". The event was so impactful even now, everyday, at the hour of his death (21:37) generation jp2 shares pope memes on local equivalent of reddit/digg https://www.wykop.pl/tag/2137/
