Summary
We are still all aboard this journey with Dominick Dunne to the 60th birthday party of 3rd Lord Glenconner, Colin Tennant, with all the family. In this second part, we meet up with Princess Margaret, Raquel Welch, and a few other folks with some strong opinions when the American boat sallies up next to the Wind Star.
Once the journey is over, there are a few more threads to pull with the fates and legacies of Lord Colin and Princess Margaret. It really all does come back around.
Done and Dunne is taking next Monday off from the main feed, returning September 30. Patreon is the place to go to continue your investigation until then with ad-free and bonus episodes!

| 0:32.4 | It's a big deal. We got a big boat. We got a lot of cousins. A lot of family. All of that family is really, really famous. We are about to hook up with another boat and get to the parties as we are still on this sea cruise. Let's investigate. |
| 0:50.3 | Music investigate. Oh, friends, I'm really excited to be back for Part 2. We are going to pick back up with |
| 1:11.8 | our man Nick writing, Dominic Dunn, from his piece. Released March 1987, it's a family |
