About this episode
This year, the only head of state that most Australians have ever known died.
It led to an outpouring of grief and mourning, particularly in the UK, but that wasn’t the only side of the story.
There were also protests, marches and an attempt from some to reckon with the monarchy’s colonial past.
Today we’re featuring this episode from September with the United Kingdom’s first Professor of Black Studies and author of The New Age of Empire, Kehinde Andrews, on what the monarchy represents today.
