Gyles Brandreth – Odd Boy Out meets prince Philip: The Final Portrait on the 31st of October

The Odd Boy Out meets Prince Philip: who is Gyles Brandreth? Who was Prince Philip? And how come Gyles ended up writing the Duke of Edinburgh’s biography? One writer discusses two very different biographies and two very different stories, an exploration of the world of biography and fathers and sons and their relationships. The talk will be on the 31st of October in Seaford College.

Gyles Brandreth is a writer, broadcaster, and performer, now Chancellor of the University of Chester. He claims among his forebears Jeremiah Brandreth, the last person to be beheaded in England for treason (in 1817), and the Victorian and Edwardian journalist and playwright George R Sims, author of Christmas Day in the Workhouse and a cousin of the Empress Eugénie.
