Same in Australia- lived thru the Depression and the Second War. Apart from holding the dreadful memories of the First War. We were taught resilience, and a can-do attitude.
Spot on David.... its selfish to constantly burden people with negativity and past pain... we were brought up tough and to 'get on with things'...and how glad I am for that. I love listening to you.
And in those good old days a man could beat his wife black and blue and she just accepted it And a man could even sexually abuse his child as well and keep it a secret No help, no relief certainly from PC Clipear! A tough and hardy breed .Domestic violence? Paedophilia? Couldnt:spell it in the good old days!
It is so uplifting when people rise above their traumatic experiences instead of using these experiences for an excuse for their bad behavior! Harry is stretching his experiences to sell books and make money! Harry is being prodded by Meghan and the two have created a perfect storm!
An Aussie here giving a shout out to this man who I have grown to love and admire for his ability to stand-up and defend the things that he believes in.
They own around 50% of the land mass. Bet you didn’t know that did you. Look up Jacinta price for an honest Aboriginal campaigner if you are actually interested and not just full of smug comments.
@@marylynch951 Despite slavery there are still too many damn blacks in tgeUSA- Dr David Starkey quote. No wonder Gross Bigotry news like him! Despite AIDS there are atill too many gays in San Fransisco. Would Dr Starkey agree with that? Doubt it!
Just recently discovered Dr David , he is wonderful and I am proud that it was an Irish man that had the courage to break his leg and put him on the road to his great life of such wisdom. Thank you Dr David .
I was thinking today that the backlash around this book (intended to create sympathy) doubtless relates to the fact the vast majority of us had some type of dysfunction in our childhood but we chose to do the hard work of emotionally getting past it; not spending our adulthood whining and complaining about it. It is infinitely MORE off-putting when the Harkles have the resources to move on and do whatever they want - a luxury the vast majority of us have not had - and they still choose the role of professional victim. It is really nauseating.
He lost his mother but he had her for over 12 years . He had a brother , a father and loving grandparents . He remained in his family homes and his school . No financial deprivations and a nanny there for a female mentor . His father did not cut him off from his mother’s family or her photos or stories .
@@BlackStump172 And ... shall we remember that his brother lost his mother too. H is so selfish to always claim all the pain and attention for himself only.
This interview was way too short! Dr David Starkey is to history what Sir David Attenborough is to the natural world…we must protect them both as international treasures…best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
I was the middle child of five born into a working class family - but my parents bought the blue-bound Children's Encyclopedia Set. It would have been extremely expensive for them but I remain eternally grateful to them for this. Books were an important part of my growing up in the 1950s and I wonder if that helped fashion my love of history? I am now custodian of that Encyclopedia Set - although it is battered and worn with a couple of volumes missing. Dr David Starkey is a fascinating man that I could happily listen to for hours.
I was born in 1976 in London to a deeply religious Catholic family. A hefty set of Mitchell Beazley's encyclopaedia (12 books) occupied my childhood and spurred an endless curiosity about the world. I ended up becoming a book publisher in life!
Yes my dad bought them for the family. I was the only one to read them. I was ill a lot as a child and always off school so these were my school lessons.
I have books like that. Sometimes a snapshot in time will pop into my head, some long forgotten memory of joy, fascination, and hours spent reading. Often I wish I could relive those moments, that enriched my life so much.
Like you and David Starkey encyclopedias were bought for me as a child by my parents. They helped me pass the 11 Plus exam and made me interested in Commonwealth countries. The irony was my parents were working class and left school at 14. My father only got part-time primary education, but despite this they believed in their children receiving as much education as they could. What a marvellous generation they were from.
I looooove listening to this man - it's such a shame he has to be hurried on due to time limits of this program. Does anyone know of any extended interviews or chats with David Starkey where we can settle in a comfy chair with a cup of tea and be entertained and engaged for a decent amount of time by simply listening to his stories and life experiences...
Oh what happened to unbiased and straight forward news and current affairs broadcasters. Now they see themselves as celebrities who are convinced we all required their, not so humble opinions.
If I wrote a book.. which everyone who knows me wants me to do.. NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE MY LIFE.. From my alcoholic vicious mother, raped at 11, engaged at 14 and married into the mafia at 17 to get away from my mother which I didn’t realise at the time.. my brothers joined the Air Force and navy.. to get away.. 😂 and my life went downhill from there.. 😂and I am and have never been a VICTIM.. NOT EVER.. I look at my past as a gift because my desperate search for happiness which I found.. BECAUSE I AM AN ADULT and choose how I see things.. I am now happy, find joy and love EVERYDAY.. and laugh at everything.. HARRY WOULD WHINE IS HE WAS THE HEIR BECAUSE WILLIAM WOULD HAVE NONE OF THE EXPECTATIONS, DEMANDS AND RESTRICTIONS HE DID AND WILLIAM HAD FREEDOM ALONG WITH THE BENEFITS OF BEING ROYAL.. HARRY WOULD HATE BEING THE HEIR AND HE IS A VICTIM NO MATTER WHAT POSITION HES IN.. AND HOW GOOD HIS LIFE HAS BEEN.. HE WILL ALWAYS SEE THE NEGATIVE! 😂
As a nurse I want to apologise to Dr Starkey for the improper actions or words of the nurse.I do not know the circumstances, but she should have offered pain relief and compassion.
I was a sick kid in the 70's... some of the nurses were down right bullies and I clearly remember two who actively abused a little chubby boy aged 6. Horrible. 4 hospitals.. pretty much all the same. I remember two nice nurses in all my stays.
He is such a charismatic man, a great Historian and a great communicator. I've read most of his books, all of them, wonderful, informative and passionate. A true tresor.
Dr Starkey was able to grab my daughters attention of the Tudors, she seriously enjoys History has knuckled down. Before she was rather silly and a know it all but will watch and read Dr Starkey. He is a great man. Thank you.
If you're being abused, and mocked by aggressive people then it stands to reason a few social problems will be expected. Children today don't understand the hardship of before everything seems to shock them now. Wish he'd meet Alan Wilson.
Harry’s mother had a miserable childhood. So that certainly affected her life and. The way she brought up Harry. From an outsiders point of view she was also responsible for the failure of the marriage and for Harry’s problems. She is loved so much by the country that I don’t think people can see it. They are blinded by her smile.
I agree with you. Diana wasn't the "best" mother though I think she did her best. People don't want to hear it. Added to that, I don't believe Harry got enough discipline by Charles, because Charles's upbringing and personality. Harry should've gone to Gordunstun
@@siouxsioux2725 I am sure she tried. Phillip was hard on Charles. So maybe both Charles and Diana were easy on him. But William seems to be a fine man.
I agree with. Diane was married at 19 to a man who would never love her. When Harry was born Charles went to play polo within an hour. Henry VIII would have treated Diana great for having 2 boys. How can anyone wonder why she got vindictive? It's called Camilla
Dr David Starkey does history through original documents which is real history not regurgitated fantasy. Hahaha. Herman Hermits did Henry the 8th. Hahaha. Great interview.
Hello huge Respect to Dr Starkey its a generational thing Us Boomers are a lot tougher We get on with it and We never bleat or complain about our past traumas and there was plenty to go round just saying not hating
My own childhood was very emotionally abusive and neglectful. But I always knew that no one was going to save me except me. David is right in that victimhood degrades you. It’s an avoidance of personal responsibility. I believe Harry is miserable deep down because how can you not be when you feel powerless and persecuted by everything Little thing in life. Hope he gets a proper therapist, clearly the one he’s got is just colluding with him.
I will watch whatever Dr Starkey Documentaries that I have. I'd rather watch him than the junk that passes for whatever on TV. I've learned so much from him about the Tudors and he makes everything come to life once again. When he does pass, History and the ability to tell it like he does will also pass. I'm glad that he's ignored being "cancelled" and is continuing on doing the thing that he loves. I've learned from his example is that "You speak the truth, you will be called out for it. Ignore them and continue on." Wish I was able to sit down with the man and just let him talk for hours on Henry VIII and whatever else he wanted to talk about.
Admirable his work ethic, academic prowess, and his struggle through adversity is, I lost all my respect for Dr. Starkey when he pushed for mandatory 💉 on the Triggernometry podcast.
One thing puzzles me Harry thinks he was given an Xbox at thirteen by his mother but people say it wasn't invented and more like a playstation if that's true my problem is how do you confuse an Xbox with a playstation there's a big difference and a thirteen year old knows the console he's playing with.
When in the past people auffered they got on with it No counselling just go the pub get bladdered and take it out on the next generation Fine upstanding folk , or maybe upstaggering instead.
Saw the title and thought, 'Mr Starkey's too well-spoken and educated to use the word "challenging", surely?' Sure enough. He doesn't use that idiotic word but says it was 'difficult'.
Dr Starkey i have been a fan for such a long time your tv shows were just brilliant sir. One thing I would urge of you, please do not continue your athieistic belief for I shall tell you (respectfully) sir tis a fools journey to continue in that way. Forgetting 'churchianity' i urge you to seriously with that massive intilect of yours, study the Gospels (without cheating!;-)) and consider Christ and His claims, for I was like yourself for a very long time, you are but a dozen years above me; and sir, my life only took on real meaning once I discovered the truth of His message, and the prophecies concerning His coming, death and ressurection..... I wish you the very best of health Mr Starkey and long life. Best F
@@joyelmes7814 with respect Joy, you are quite wrong. firstly let me say this, i understand the whole concept of 'churchianity which accomadates those with a need to belong to a 'club' as you so succinctly put it.. Which for me sums up sadly, the state of many 'christian churches' to qualify that i mean churches that claim to be christian but in reality are absolute strangers to both Christ and the Christian Gospel, Tis groups of people who have all but abandoned the Christ, the Bible and the very clear teachings of both of the aforementioned. The centre of Christs teachings and of Scripture is its not about words and deeds as you so eloquently put it But, rather Tis about a Relationship between man and God through Christ with the Holy Spirit..... Only after you have said relationships do you inherit an innate desire to do words and deeds (as you again so eloquently put it) But that also or rather FIRSTLY brings the desire to meet with like minded as Christ Himself put it; 'born again believers. Tis here Joy that i confess a broken heart, for sure folks can say and do nice things, absolutely, however unless one has a true and living relationship with God (as described above) then tragically and i mean that as sincerely as i can say it Joy, there are many 'churches' and even many more folks out there who think and believe that doing the deeds you ascribe means that they are in fact Christian (ccapital C)... when oftentimes they are but deluded. Christ came for a reason, just like de died and rose again, for a reason, just like he is going to return, For A Reason Joy......... For myself, yourself Joy and every other body on our beautiful planet we are going to be called to account!! For it is appointed once for men to die then judgement, my abiding fear Joy is, all those millions/billions who scoff at the very thought of Christs claims all the time thinking and believing, it matters not a jot.... Oh joy nothing could be nor is further from the truth..... I request only one thing of you Joy, if you dont mind me saying; do this, Pray (sincerely) and challenge/ask God, that if what I claim is indeed true, then that He would give you no peace until you have learned these facts for yourself... Our eternity is dependant on what we do with Christ, NOT the nice/good things we do whilst being a stranger to Him My apologies (tho not realy) for the truth is worthy of being shared, I am only delighted that after many years of being a communist, someone shared similar truths with myself. May God in Heaven bless your heart Joy. Fyodor
