- Alan Whicker visits the Caribbean island Mustique and speaks to Colin Tennant about the privileges that come with owning an island.
I do not own this/ educational purposes.
Alan Whicker - LEGEND
Oh he's nauseating. Did a stellar job as a parent, for sure.
Unique bit of history here - this was only a few years after Princess Margeret received her plot of land, and before her villa was completed, so it was still a really fresh story. To be able to see the perspective that the media (and British society in general) must have had towards former (and current - at this time St. Vincent was not yet independent) colonies - the assumption that purchasing islands in these exotic places was an entitlement (especially if you are connected royalty); the portrayal of the locals, even the sensitive political issue of developing this island (done for profit for a few ahead of the benefit of the people) - the representative of the government was being pragmatic because of the economic benefits, or it is the same old story from colonlial times, where many of the locally appointed representatives were acquiescent
the memoirs of his wife is on the dailymail today with a sensationalist headline of how he 'once beat her with a shark bone cane', no mention of this engagement of the local community here acknowledging damage of colonialism (whilst still buying up Caribbean islands) the no site of his wife (i'm half way through the clip) his off spring evidently saw tragedy, it's interesting the aristo connection to even today the late model stella tennant was another tragic relative.
Interesting to see Oliver Messel - I like his smile and gentle manner!
A man with great vision

The mystique of Mustique. There; I said it....
You will find newer documntry about him,,,, it soo strange how isolation has effected him!!!
HAVE YOU GUYS READ HIS WIFE BOOK? IF NOT, DO SO RIGHT NOW... IT'S CALLED LADY IN WAITING!
Tennant was flashman on steroids
Who was the stoned lady at the end?
Who were the bikini babes? Certainly not Tennant's children; his twin daughters were born in 1970.
Is it still a swinging oasis ? How can I travel there ?
You could spell it right in the description, its Mustique, not Mystique.
What a colorful individual! He and his wife must have enjoyed their journey, she is such an Authentic, Bright, Quick Witted, and Delightful Lady!!!
My friend knew him, apparently the real reason he moved there was to indulge his (cash-transaction) proclivities with young men 🤢
😜
Mustique is the REAL PROPERTY of the people of SVG. We shall have it back, it is a question of time. Political Cover-up from the beginning!!!
He beat Lady Glenconner
