  Camilla - From Outcast to Queen...

  For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, Queen Elizabeth refused to see or speak to her, but, since the death of Prince Philip, Camilla had become one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she had seen in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort, not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005. 
   
   
   
  Angela Levin uncovers Camilla's rocky journey to be accepted by the royal family and how she coped with her brutal portrayal in Netflix's The Crown. The public have witnessed her tremendous contribution to help those in need, especially during COVID. Levin has talked to many of Camilla's long-term friends, her staff, and executives from the numerous charities of which Camilla is patron. She reveals why Camilla concentrates on previously taboo subjects, such as domestic violence and rape. Most of all, Levin tells the story of how Camilla has changed from a fun-loving young woman to one of the senior royals' hardest workers. She has retained her mischievous sense of humor, becoming a role model for older women and an inspiration for younger ones.

  Dahomey Kingdom - The Amazon...

  The Kingdom of Dahomey emerged as a dominant force in West Africa during the early 17th century, rising from a small tribal settlement to a powerful and organized state. Located in present-day Benin, Dahomey was founded by the Fon people, who established a centralized monarchy that would go on to shape the region’s history for centuries. The kingdom’s foundation was marked by military expansion, strategic leadership, and a distinct socio-political structure that set it apart from neighboring states. 
  The origins of Dahomey can be traced back to the reign of King Houegbadja, who ruled in the early 1600s. He is often credited with transforming the region into a formidable kingdom by unifying various smaller communities under a single rule. Before Dahomey’s consolidation, the region was dominated by the more powerful Allada Kingdom. However, through strategic alliances and calculated warfare, the rulers of Dahomey gradually expanded their influence, laying the groundwork for future dominance. 
  One of the key aspects of Dahomey’s rise was its strong central government. Unlike many other African polities of the time, Dahomey’s monarchy operated with an intricate administrative system. The king, known as the Ahosu, wielded absolute power but was supported by a council of advisors and military leaders who ensured efficient governance. This structured political organization allowed Dahomey to maintain stability even as it expanded through military campaigns.
